In the mean time, we have a small and stable kernel driver underneath. That would explain the complexity of specifying the bit patterns of err_type_info and err_struct_info in err.conf. Not the friendliest user interface. Sufficient for testing/debugging but a good opportunity for improvement. -- Russ Anderson, OS RAS/Partitioning Project Lead SGI - Silicon Graphics Inc rja@xxxxxxx - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
