Dariush Debian Diary

Todays release (17f), https://ghost.anime.pl/~eyck/Projects/bsd/17f/ contains

• updated mount -o ro,bind patch from Herbert of Vserver fame
• updated netconsole patch
• re-added mga_vid driver for matrox and radeon cards
• re-added old OCFS (Oracle Cluster Filesystem)
• re-added old framebuffer logos

Warnings:

1. 17f includes Jan Dubiec's newest mppe/mppc module. Unfortunatelly it contains fix for 'PFC bug', which, unless you're affected by 'PFC bug', triggers 'PFC bug'. 17g will be available with older (0.98) version of this module
2. netconsole patch should not be trusted. As Herbert Poezl says:

   11:51 < Bertl> eyck: it seems that some parts of the netpoll api ahve sneaked in for the following cards:
   11:52 < Bertl> net/8139cp.c, net/b44.c, e1000/e1000, net/gt64240eth.c, net/mv64340, net/tg3.c
   

   thus, you should be cautious with using this feature on those cards.
