Known 'issues' about 2.4.19...
Hi all :))
Is there any known bug or other issues about 2.4.19 that prevents
it from being used in a production machine? I mean, I don't worry if the sound is broken or things like those, I mean if the IDE driver does 'things' and the like ;))
I'm thinking about going to 2.4.19 or the latest -ac for 2.4.20.
Thanks a lot :)

I used it for three months for desktop use without a single problem. I only stopped when I moved over to the 2.5.x tree, once the IDE problems had been fixed.

Do you refer to NIC bonding? Anyway, I don't know what 'bonding'
is, just I've heard the word related to NIC O:)))
Thanks Andreas :)

It lets you use two ethernet cards as a single interface, assuming the switch they're plugged into supports it. Cheap way to get 200 mbps throughput, especially with a switch that only does gigabit on the uplink port.
See Documentation/networking/bonding.txt in the kernel tarball...

Hi Raúl,
I've been using 2.4.19 for a couple of months already. Generally speaking, I've had no probls with it. I recently found out its IDE subsystem doesn't get along too well with VIA chipsets (replaced my old mobo for a VT8233 based recently and probls started surfacing). Basically, I am unable to rip audio tracks from my cds (/var/log/messages logs a lot of timeouts).
This is a real PITA, but kernel folks are already aware of it and and it's going through major reimplementation on 2.5.x branch, AFAIK. Also, I've seen increasing activity on VIA's Linux forums (this issue has surfaced a couple of times there as well), so there's hope VIA might start working closer to the Linux community.
Aside from this, I've been using it daily at home, for all sorts of things.
HTH,
Andre

I have a VIA8363 (82C686B) AKA KT133/KM133, running perfectly
with 2.4.18 at the time. Will this be a problem with 2.4.19?
