Assalamu Alaikum,
If the post is out place than kindly suggest what's a better forum for it. Anyways I went and met some eglug members at Sakia on Saturday. I spoke with one of them for awhile. I already forgot his name because I am terrible with names. He asked me about kernel hacking I said I don't do it but I am highly amused by the kernel comments. I tried to show him this ascii diagram in the kernel source but I couldn't really remember the file it was in and I even forgot it was in the 2.4 kernel source not the 2.6 kernel source which was what that particular distro was using I was searching on. Anyways if you have the 2.4 kernel sources find the file dmi_scan.c check around line 350 or grep the file for Win98. If you want to laugh some more read all the comments in the file.
