gcc 3.3 and coreutils
by Stefan Reinauer 23 Apr '03

23 Apr '03

Hi LinuxBIOS hackers, while working on a port to the freshly released AMD64 Opteron systems I fixed a couple of warnings that probably occur due to stricter gcc 3.x syntax checks. This includes type signedness checking and stricter string concatenation. Also I noticed that coreutils 5.0 are stricter with their POSIX compliance in a way that breaks LinuxBIOS scripts. tail -5 has to be tail -n 5, head accordingly. I have not explicitly tested older compilers, but the changes are harmless and unlikely to break anything. Can this be included? Comments?

HTML mail on list
by Gregg C Levine 23 Apr '03

23 Apr '03

Hello again from Gregg C Levine Ron, folks, can we cease and desist using HTM mail on the list, except when necessary? Our friend David Woodhouse, who runs the Linux-MTD list, recently, had problems with such mail on the list, and had some comments on it I'd quote it but I'm better off posting his location here, http://www.infradead.org/~dwmw2/email.html that one describes everything. His list, also caught a large amount of junk, and, ah, he posted two messages to the list regarding such activities, in the form of a "rant". He called the message, "List etiquette.", even replied to himself which we all try not to do, to add to it, to add further complaints, which I'm not going echo here. David, I remember seeing a few of your posts here, do you mind my using the reference? ------------------- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon(a)worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."

Reducing kernel ide driver probing time.
by hcyun＠etri.re.kr 23 Apr '03

23 Apr '03

Hello I found that ide driver take too much time for probing unnecessary drives. (drivers/ide-probe.c) it probe from hda to hdl as you can see below and it takes about 3 ~ 4 seconds. However common main board have only 2 ide controller so probing over hde is unnecessary. My solution is redefine MAX_HWIF as 2 (originally 6) so I can reduce probing time down to 1 second. Is there any other way which can control this such as using kernel parameter? VP_IDE: VIA vt8235 (rev 00) IDE UDMA133 controller on pci00:11.1 ide0: BM-DMA at 0x1ce0-0x1ce7, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0x1ce8-0x1cef, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio probing for hda: present=1, media=32, probetype=ATA hda: MAXAN MFD-44-32, ATA DISK drive probing for hdb: present=0, media=32, probetype=ATA probing for hdb: present=0, media=32, probetype=ATAPI probing for hdc: present=0, media=32, probetype=ATA probing for hdc: present=0, media=32, probetype=ATAPI probing for hdd: present=0, media=32, probetype=ATA probing for hdd: present=0, media=32, probetype=ATAPI probing for hde: present=0, media=32, probetype=ATA probing for hde: present=0, media=32, probetype=ATAPI probing for hdf: present=0, media=32, probetype=ATA probing for hdf: present=0, media=32, probetype=ATAPI probing for hdg: present=0, media=32, probetype=ATA probing for hdg: present=0, media=32, probetype=ATAPI probing for hdh: present=0, media=32, probetype=ATA probing for hdh: present=0, media=32, probetype=ATAPI probing for hdi: present=0, media=32, probetype=ATA probing for hdi: present=0, media=32, probetype=ATAPI probing for hdj: present=0, media=32, probetype=ATA probing for hdj: present=0, media=32, probetype=ATAPI probing for hdk: present=0, media=32, probetype=ATA probing for hdk: present=0, media=32, probetype=ATAPI probing for hdl: present=0, media=32, probetype=ATA probing for hdl: present=0, media=32, probetype=ATAPI ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 hda: attached ide-disk driver.
