2.1.130

[Dave Gilbert <gilbertd treblig org>]

Hi,
  Th\is message comes to you from the keyboard of my LX running 2.1.130
built with the latest EGCS snapshot; everything seems OK - I had to make
one minor tweak to the source to get it to build:

--- linux/include/asm/spinlock.h.predag Sun Nov 29 00:04:19 1998
+++ linux/include/asm/spinlock.h        Sun Nov 29 00:05:44 1998
@@ -163,7 +163,7 @@
 
 typedef struct { volatile int write_lock:1, read_counter:31; } rwlock_t;
 
-#define RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED { 0, 0 }
+#define RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED (rwlock_t) { 0, 0 }
 
 #if DEBUG_RWLOCK
 extern void write_lock(rwlock_t * lock);


The IDE interface didn't automatically come up in DMA, but doing
hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdc

seems to have made it spring into its normal ~7MB/sec mode. (9% CPU)
