linux-2.0.30
pre-patch-31-2 (David Sparc Miller)
buffer cache fix Aug 1 (Werner Fink + Bill Hawes)
ft.pf (file table improvement) (Philip Gladston) (see linuxhq)
ext2 error handling (Stephan Tweedie, 31 May?)
more than 256 fd's (Michael O'Reilly)
unofficial patch printout (complicate german name :)

That's it.
I tried:
pre31-2 + buffer aug 1 : no problemo
++ ft.pf : no problemo
++ filehandles# : no problemo
++ ext2 error --ft.pf --filehandles# : no problemo
++ stack not exec : no problemo
++ patch printout : no problemo
++ ft.pf ++ filehandle#: no problemo <-- at this point, this is the same set
of patch of the original kernel, plus the stack-not-exec patch...
-- stacke not exec : crash my car, burn my house.. fucking crazy, isn't it?
I've done a diff -u -r on both the original source tree and the new one obtained
after this wading: No differences except in the debian dir, a diff related
to the debian revision level, ie no differences.
I'd like to figure out if it only appear on my drivers/hardware (ncrBsd 1.18i)
with this precise configuration. Could some kind soul with idle time
go download ftp://lili.urbanet.ch/pub/KPatches/linuxnasty-pre31.tgz and then
try some tar cvf file.tar some_big_dir/ and see what happen..
Cheers.
PS: some others:
BTW: Yeap, my system is rock solid with a 2.0.29 kernel.
Never got a sig11 problem with those Simms either (at least before
this precise kernel)
