SubjectBugs in 1.3.77
I've been working a little bit more with 1.3.77, and I've found some 
problems that should be fixed; sorry, no crashes ;-)

In /proc/mounts the root filesystem is still shown as (ro) even if it
has been remounted as read-write (I don't know what "mount -o remount" does
internally).

With apm_bios support I have the following problems: When moving my
PS/2 mouse, I get a lot of messages (set display ready: Unrecognized
device ID). I have configured apm_bios to signal idle times to the
BIOS and to the video card (card is DPMS compatible). I have also
defined the mouse interrupt (12) to be an wakeup event in my bios.
I'm also having 65535% in /proc/apm (Rick Faith is working on it; he
said it's a problem of sign extension. Well, Rick?)

Having connected a SCSI tape (Viper DDS), I noticed that a
"st0: No tape" is followed by a bunch of "aic7xxx: Target busy"
messages. During that time the tape was loading. I think the kernel
should be more patient as soon as there's "No Tape".

Also I've noted that the "mt seek 1000" command produced an "illegal
request" error. I thought DDS tapes can seek. The mt command was from
Slackware 2.4.

For the current RAMDISK code I've noticed that the traditional
ramdisk produces strange messages:
RAMDISK image found at block 0
VFS: Mounted root (minix filesystem)
VFS: Insert root floppy disk ... press ENTER
Please note that the mount confirmation precedes the "press enter"
and the "loading" messages. Is this correct?
