Any update about that? :) I don't know. I don't think any problems we've seen recently can be attributed to caching issues. The most stable kernel so far seems to be 2.6.13-pa1. But I expect as 2.6.15 gets more exposure on Debian we'll know if that is better and if it has any remaining caching issues. > > We probably need to clone the new entries from arch/parisc/kernel/hardware.c > > to the php/mysql code that drives the HWDB. > > Any volunteers? > > This is not that easy.

I'd like to add, the HWDB maintainer doesn't need to be a linux hacker. If someone from *BSD or HP-UX community wants to maintain it, I certainly won't object. thanks, grant _______________________________________________ parisc-linux mailing list parisc-linux@lists.parisc-linux.org http://lists.parisc-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/parisc-linux
