2.1.102 works great on my machine here, a p133 with 32 megs of ram
and 2 ide hdd's and one ATAPI cdrom drive. I have a question regarding a
message I get at boot up from time to time -> VFS: brelse: Trying to free
free buffer. Can someone please explain to me what that is? The log
follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
And off it goes, there are no problems accessing any of the partitions
and the system runs just fine.
And i would like to report a problem with rmmod -a (modutils 2.1.85). It
simply doesn't remove all unused modules, in fact it doesn't remove any
modules. Removing modules by name (like rmmod sb) works however.

What could be the problem here? thanks in advance.
