Hello All, Try that with raid0145-19990128-2.2.0.gz patch and have 5 or so disks in the array . ;-) (Not to even mention SMP & the apic stuff too ...)
Not enough memory area set aside to hold all that data . Given the above patches & 2.2.[01+] , By the time the filesystems are mounted the memory area set aside for holding the dmesg data has already rolled , Thus it is lost .
Where in the kernel is the SIZE set for the area used by dmesg ? Ah-Heck . I'll just go look . I am going to attempt to increase this area & see what sort of problems I run into , I'll also increase the area searched by dmesg .
If anyone knows of any porblems doing this please say so ?
Ttys
