Hi all,
I've managed to get Mandrake 9 installed by disconnecting my 2 windows' drives. When I reconnect them Mandrake wants to take over. I figure it's time for the BootManager, or should I use a Linux specific one like Lilo? Or have I already stuffed up by not running Lilo at time of... (2 Replies)
ok so I just installed fedora core 6 on my dell inspiron 700m and I go to boot into linux and I get this error. Has anyone seen this before?
I also had XP Pro and Vista installed on this pc prior to putting fedora core 6 on the machine. I'm trying to setup a triple boot system.

hi all!
i have developed a mechanism in system.c to count how many times each kernel call is called. The results are held in an array in system.c . What i want to do is to create a new kernel call which will print this array. I need help in passing the array from system.c to the new kernel call. ... (5 Replies)
Hi All,
Is there a max number of slabs that can be used per kernel module? I'm having a tough time finding out that kind of information, but the array 'node_zonelists' (mmzone.h) has a size of 5. I just want to avoid buffer overruns and other bad stuff.
Cheers,

Hello there:
I know that exist a procedure to convert an OS using 32bits kernel to 64 bits kernel. But, exist a procedure to convert an OS using 64bits to 32 bits kernel?

Hi gurus
Could anybody tell me which file is read by kernel to set its default system kernal parameters values in solaris. Here I am not taking about /etc/system file which is used to load kernal modules or to change any default system kernal parameter value
Is it /dev/kmem file or something... (1 Reply)
Hi everyone,
I am trying to prevent the ehci_hcd kernel module to load at boot time.
Here's what I've tried so far:
1) Add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf (as suggested here):
2) Blacklisted the module by adding the following string to

HPET(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual HPET(4)NAME
hpet -- High Precision Event Timer driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device acpi
The following tunables are settable from the loader(8):
hint.hpet.X.allowed_irqs
is a 32bit mask. Each set bit allows driver to use respective IRQ, if BIOS also set respective capability bit in comparator's configuration
register. Default value is 0xffff0000, except some known broken hardware.
hint.hpet.X.clock
controls event timers functionality support. Setting to 0, disables it. Default value is 1.
hint.hpet.X.legacy_route
controls "LegacyReplacement Route" mode. If enabled, HPET will steal IRQ0 of i8254 timer and IRQ8 of RTC. Before using it, make sure that
respective drivers are not using interrupts, by setting also:
hint.attimer.0.clock=0
hint.atrtc.0.clock=0
Default value is 0.
hint.hpet.X.per_cpu
controls how much per-CPU event timers should driver attempt to register. This functionality requires every comparator in a group to have
own unshared IRQ, so it depends on hardware capabilities and interrupts configuration. Default value is 1.
DESCRIPTION
This driver uses High Precision Event Timer hardware (part of the chipset, usually enumerated via ACPI) to supply kernel with one time
counter and several (usually from 3 to 8) event timers. This hardware includes single main counter with known increment frequency (10MHz or
more), and several programmable comparators (optionally with automatic reload feature). When value of the main counter matches current value
of any comparator, interrupt can be generated. Depending on hardware capabilities and configuration, interrupt can be delivered as regular
I/O APIC interrupt (ISA or PCI) in range from 0 to 31, or as Front Side Bus interrupt, alike to PCI MSI interrupts, or in so called "Lega-
cyReplacement Route" HPET can steal IRQ0 of i8254 and IRQ8 of the RTC. Interrupt can be either edge- or level-triggered. In last case they
could be safely shared with PCI IRQs. Driver prefers to use FSB interrupts, if supported, to avoid sharing. If it is not possible, it uses
single sharable IRQ from PCI range. Other modes (LegacyReplacement and ISA IRQs) require special care to setup, but could be configured man-
ually via device hints.
Event timers provided by the driver support both one-shot an periodic modes and irrelevant to CPU power states.
Depending on hardware capabilities and configuration, driver can expose each comparator as separate event timer or group them into one or
several per-CPU event timers. In last case interrupt of every of those comparators within group is bound to specific CPU core. This is possi-
ble only when each of these comparators has own unsharable IRQ.

The hpet driver first appeared in FreeBSD 6.3. Support for event timers was added in FreeBSD 9.0.
