similar to: can redhat kernel source be patched?

Hello all, I am trying to integerate 0.0.6b with our kernel RPM here and have come across an interesting conflict. I want to include the raid patch that Red Hat includes in their kernel but that patch includes the following hunk: --- linux/include/linux/fs.h.orig Tue Jan 16 13:30:09 2001 +++ linux/include/linux/fs.h Tue Jan 16 13:47:18 2001 @@ -191,6 +191,7 @@ #define BH_Req 3 /* 0 if the

Dear R mailing group, I am having extreme - and mysterious - trouble installing R. I tried simply dl ing R-2.3.1.tar.gz, and unzipping it, but after doing so, nowhere could I find a file called R-2.3.1.exe. I did however find an R-2.3.1.exe.manifest. I therefore tried the command line installation command - given in R-admin.pdf. This command is: tar zxvf R-2.3.1.tgz This is strange

I'm running mandrake 8.1 and i installed the mandrake RPM. If i try to run: wine notepad.exe winreal keeps running at 98% CPU and nothing appears on the desktop, i let it run for 2 hours.

I wish to add flac support to my Windows audio player so I wanted to ask a few questions. I rely on another lib for decoding/playing flac audio files so all I need to explicitly add support for is reading/writing flac metadata. 1st: I've downloaded libflac and have begun browsing. Is there a simple way to identify and carve out the pieces needed only for metadata i/o? Or will I have to

Im intending use Ext3 file system in my web farm. Im using RedHat 6.2 (kernel 2.2.16-3) and Turbo Linux Cluster Server 6.0. I have NO SUCCESS in path my own kernel. I downloaded the following ext3 packages: ext3-0.0.2f.tar.gz (linux-2.2.16-3.kdb.diff , linux-2.2.16-3.ext3.diff ) e2fsprogs-1.20-0.WIP.i386.rpm e2fsprogs-1.20-0.WIP.src.rpm e2fsprogs-1.20-0ext3.i386.rpm

Our main NFS-server, running Debian Potato, died this morning whilst under quite heavy load - due to a runaway perl-script forking of some 200 instances of "/bin/cp" (the load was ~ 50). The server is running 2.2.19pre14 with ext3-0.0.6b. The server is running kernel-nfs. Assertion failure in journal_dirty_metadata() at transaction.c line 796: "bh->b_next_transaction ==

Apologies for a vague and wooly bug report, but I can't reproduce this on my test systems - I *can* reproduce it on some production ones like a flash.... but that seems to upset our operations guys :-( I am getting a set of crashes on some boxes in the field, apparently related to high network traffic (this only occurs on boxes with ethernet connectivity back to the centre rather than the

Hi, I have been trying to debug Xen using kdb. However, I am unable to successfully boot dom0 after compiling and installing kdb. Software/hardware config: Base distribution - Debian Lenny (64-bit) on a Dell desktop (Optiplex 780) with a serial cable to another machine. Xen 4.0.1 (without kdb) works fine. Here are the steps I followed to set up Xen-unstable with kdb. 1. Cloned code from

Hi Sometimes (and I haven't yet found out what causes it) I get a message: Warning: ingnored non-function "t" I think it may be either when I have done a Ctl-C to break in or I may have inadvertently named a variable after one of the many system or other functions. I have seen names other than "t". Anyway, the only way I can get rid of it is to exit and restart. I

Hi Guys, Thanks for the interest in the xen hypervisor debugger, prev known as kdb. Btw. I''m gonna rename it to xdb for xen-debugger or hdb for hypervisor debugger. KDB is confusing people with linux kdb debugger and I often get emails where people think they need to apply linux kdb patch also... Anyways, attaching patch that is cleaned up of my debug code that I accidentally left in

I am totally new to using CentOS. Linux in Genera really. I have decent experiencing with terminal code for Macs though. Here's the deal my Boss wants us to move more toward linux for some of our basic users. All I was supposed to do was install CentOS 5.2 and Open Office and disburse the machines. Simple enough right. So I did this with no issue. I ran the interface and installed only

Hi, I run windows vista ultimate in my laptop and run R 2.5 I am trying to update the packages but it comes up with an error message ""Warning in install.packages(update[instlib == l, "Package"], l, contriburl = contriburl, : 'lib' is not writable Error in install.packages(update[instlib == l, "Package"], l, contriburl = contriburl, :

There is a patch for xen linux 2.6.10 that enables kdb. It works with the xen 2.0.3 and xen-2.0-testing. (I intend to keep it current with 2.0-testing, but I can''t guarantee instant currency every time there are changes to the test branch.) The patch and a brief HOWTO are located at http://www.ncultra.org/xen/kdb/ kdb works with both privileged and unprivileged kernels. Mike --

I asked this a few weeks ago but didn''t get a response, so at the risk of being a nag, I''ll abbreviate and restate. I know there are other Xen specific debuggers, but I want to know if there''s any reason why SGI''s kdb, http://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb, should not be included in a dom0 pv-ops kernel? While the patches apply cleanly and build, the result is that

Is there any way (short of not patching it into the kernel) to turn KDB off on a given machine? There are some machines I do not want dropping into kdb when/if it oopses. Thanx, b.

I admit I was scepticle of this suggestion - but it actually seems to have worked. COmpiling a straight GENERIC kernel with KDB and DDB included do seem to have made my irq22 interrupt storms go away. Certainly I have spent some time trying to provoke the problem and not managed to make it read it's ugly head again. The thing is though, this doen't make me particularly happy - as I am

Hi, kdb: to debug xen hypervisor, could also debug guests gdbsx: to debug PV/HVM linux guests The tree is : http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/debuggers.hg See README-dbg.
