A few questions ...

Hi,

I just wondered if anyone else had seen a compilation error (actually a
link error) when compiling the version of the kernel that comes with the
2.6 CD.  It appears that a structure of the name myip_ifp is referenced
but never defined.  As it appears that this structure is not used in any
significant way (i take it that its related to some user process that
filters ip) i commented it out.

If this isn't an existing problem i can do a bit more digging around in
the code to find out whats going wrong in this particular case.

I've installed 2.6 on two machines so far.  When i installed it on the
first the partitioning and file creation stage needed different
block/fragment sizes than before (32K instead of 8K i think),  i take it
that the bit of code that extrapolates from partition size to block
sizes has been changed in this release ?   This doesn't bother me,
except that UFS for Linux can't cope with these larger sizes (i think it
may just a hard coded limit in the code that can possibly be moved but
have not had the time to try this out yet).

I have re-compiled the kernel on one machine including USB support,
every now and then boot up freezes in the stage that detects the Intel
USB Host Controller, is this a known issue ?

Finally, i just wondered if there was a real GENERIC kernel config file
somewhere, i.e something that includes all possible options - the
standard one for the i386 doesn't even have the lines for SYSV
IPC/shared mem.
