SubjectRe: dmesg sickness

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
