Thankyou for the hints on how to solve my SparQ problems.
The kernel 2.4.2-ac26 solved my large files problems.
Using IEEE routines in parport module: great! I can reach my printer
hoocked in the SparQ box !
But still...
After upgrading my rutines handling modules to the current release I
still have some problems when removing modules.
It only happens when I do the operation with a script
umount /zipdrive
rmmod pd
rmmod epat
rmmod paride
some times the machine frozens and once I god a panic message. It
might happen when removing epat or paride.
Since it does not happen when I type the commands I figured out that
time has to do with this. I changed the script to:
umount /zipdrive
wait
rmmod pd
wait
rmmod epat
wait
rmmod paride
wait
exit 0
with this change I experienced no more problems.
The kernel panic read:
<1> Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address c88893d4
printing eip:
c011c447 *pde: 012b9067 *pte: 0 Oops: 2 CPU: 0
EIP: 10: [<c011c447>]
EFLAGS: 10046
