Here's the kernel patch for the LDT problem if you want to test yourself (against 2.6, but the code is identical in 2.4 and 2.6)
I'm still running 2.4.x - out of two reasons: Kylix does not like the new
The patch applies to 2.4.x too.
threads found in 2.6 (AFAIK this can be 'fixed' via LD_ASSUME_KERNEL) and
It should work without that on SuSE. LD_ASSUME_KERNEL is only needed when the userland support NPTL, which SuSE 9.0 doesn't.
second, I did not get my SIL 3112A (plus Seagate A-ATA HDD) running in DMA mode when using kernel 2.6.1-mm1... (Probably I did something wrong when doing the make oldconfig, but as 2.4.x works, I've no reason to switch.)
And it worked with 2.4? That's a big strange. What driver did you use in 2.4? -Andi
