Hello I am Ioannis Barkas.You can contact me at risc4all@yahoo.com. There is a typo error in the comments area of linux-2.6.12.5\arch\alpha\lib at the files checksum.c csum_partial_copy.c I found this bug after visiting http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Bugs/3.9-2005-05-27.I had submitted bug # 24).Next day I visited it again for additional comments and someone else had reported bug # 25) about a suspicious typo error in the knoppix boot menu help.That time it was clear and obvious to me that the kernel would suffer from this error.Here I note that the unknown guy deserves some credits on this patch.DESPITE THAT,I HAD THE FINAL IDEA TO CHECK THE ERROR INSIDE THE WHOLE LINUX KERNEL.Luckily it affected only those two files. This error is repeated also in previous kernels such as the 2.6.9 . ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs --0-1696161496-1125434194=:26324 Content-Type: text/plain; name="OK 1 patch0" Content-Description: 1697245228-OK 1 patch0 Content-Disposition: inline; filename="OK 1 patch0" --- /0/linux-2.6.12.5/arch/alpha/lib/checksum.c 2005-08-28 22:00:00.000000000 +0300 +++ /1/linux-2.6.12.5/arch/alpha/lib/checksum.c 2005-08-28 23:00:00.000000000 +0300 @@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ * in an architecture-specific manner due to speed.. * Comments in other versions indicate that the algorithms are from RFC1071 * - * accellerated versions (and 21264 assembly versions ) contributed by + * accelerated versions (and 21264 assembly versions ) contributed by * Rick Gorton */ --0-1696161496-1125434194=:26324 Content-Type: text/plain; name="OK 1 patch1" Content-Description: 121177718-OK 1 patch1 Content-Disposition: inline; filename="OK 1 patch1" --- /0/linux-2.6.12.5/arch/alpha/lib/csum_partial_copy.c 2005-08-28 22:00:00.000000000 +0300 +++ /1/linux-2.6.12.5/arch/alpha/lib/csum_partial_copy.c 2005-08-28 23:00:00.000000000 +0300 @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ * csum_partial_copy - do IP checksumming and copy * * (C) Copyright 1996 Linus Torvalds - * accellerated versions (and 21264 assembly versions ) contributed by + * accelerated versions (and 21264 assembly versions ) contributed by * Rick Gorton * * Don't look at this too closely - you'll go mad.
