The major change in this batch is that disk I/O is now asynchronous. There is now a separate thread which handles disk I/O and sends a SIGIO to the kernel whenever an operation has completed. I fixed a few bugs, including (I think, I haven't checked it yet) the one where the network freezes. The fhd device and its occupation of block major 62 are now history. So, if this kernel stops booting, this is probably why. Jeff |
