Hello
If anyone is running a 2.4test kernel with the v2 input drivers, and has
the problem with the sidewinder gamepad directional controls not
working, I have a replacement sidewinder.c file from Vojtech Pavlik that
fixes it.
It's only 20k but I don't like attachments on the mailing lists so I

OK assuming your kernel source is in /usr/src/linux, dump the file e.g.
test4-pre6.gz into /usr/src/linux and
It's just how lilo works.
There is a hint in the manpage as to a case you may want to be in a
different directory other than your / directory (the -r switch, which
does a chroot to the dir you specify). The example given where this may
be useful is if you are repairing a setup from a boot floppy.
Moritz, the patch has subsequently been corrected - you can use the
updates in pub/linux/kernel/testing to get the latest patch. I've
amended the relevant section below.

My method with kernels and bootdisks is always to use the kernel source

Add the user you want to have dialup access to the group 'dip' e.g. (as

You'll need to select "Set version information on all symbols for modules" in
the Loadable Module Support section when you compile your kernel.

A curious thing happened recently (don't know exactly when, just noticed
it)
Debian (potato, custom 2.2.15pre15 kernel) seems to have 'lost' 128meg
of memory.
I've got 192 in my system (recently gone from 128 which went OK)
cat /proc/meminfo gives:-
