some help in kernel debugging
Hi All, I'm following instructions at http://kgdb.linsyssoft.com/quickstart.htm to get into kernel debugging. Since it doesn't ask me to do a 'make modules;make modules_install' on the test machine, I think I can't build a good initrd image on the test machine (since mkinitrd requires a kernel version which it ... 21 Nov 2006 18:32

UDP packets loss
Hi, I am running a client/server test app over IPOIB in which the client sends a certain amount of data to the server.
