I am installing the hsfmodem drivers for my ALI 5457 softmodem from http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-rhel40-i686.php
The following warning is supplied:
*Note:* The default stack size in original Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 kernels is only 4K. Because some drivers require more stack space to operate properly, we recommend using a kernel with a larger stack size if you experience problems or crashes. You can either rebuild your own custom kernel, or *get one of our replacement "stk16" kernels provided for your convenience* http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-rhel40-kernel-i686.php. They are identical to the Red Hat kernels, except that the stack size was increased to 16K.
I ASSuME that Centos 4 also has a 4K stack? Should I increase my stack size to 16K and if so, how?
CentOS4 uses a 4K stack size on i686 - you can't alter it at run time - as the link suggests, you might want to install one of their modified kernels ...
