Re: UltraPenguin1.0.9 update

[Olivier Bornet <bornet@idiap.ch>]

Hello David,

I'm also very interested with this correction. I'm trying to setup a UltraPenguin
system on a Ultra 10.

To do this, I must have an automounter (autofs or amd).
Autofs generate the same error as below ( Unknown cmd fd(5) cmd(40049363) arg(00024134))
Amd work, but when I do a "big" compilation (kernel or Qt or ...), the system
hang.

Of course, I prefere autofs if it works.

If you want someone for doing tests, let me know : I can do every thing
you want on the Ultra 10 (even test a beta-version of autofs).

Thanks in advance for your great job.

					Olivier

PS. For the X, it's also slow on our Ultra 10 workstation. And the station
has a PCI Creator 3D card. In this case, I don't think the memory on the
card is the problem.
