eean, not sure what you're running, but I can vouch for a substantial speedup. Especially in firefox/apollon and even copying files.

Hi, i'm not sure if this problem has already been submitted, but my Xorg won't start with this kernel (switching from 2.6.8.1ck7) : i got a black screen when X tries to launch gdm after startup, i can't kill anything, just got a black screen. Thus, i don't think i can give you a log :/

I use a firegl9000 with the built-in radeon drivers and xorg 6.8.0r2, which worked fine with my old kernel. Framebuffer works well though...

Please ask me if you need details, thx !

Anyone here who already has the win4lin patch that can mirror it?
Cuz the site mentioned in the startpost appears to be down :/

Thnx in advance :)

Many thanx to jdkbx who supplied the patch
The patch is now mirrored at:

http://files.ryceck.com/nitro/2.6.9-nitro2-win4lin.patch.bz2

If seppe would be so kind to include that in the openingpost then the patch can be use/downloaded again

are the problems you have like this?

At random times (but perhaps from spikes of system, memory and disk usage, your system will begin to eat itself up.

A process ( grep -iR something, or find . -type f -exec grep -i something {} \; ) will quickly increase in its CPU usage if you monitor top, until it reaches 99.8 to 99.9.
At that time you can't log in via ssh
the mouse and screen are frozen
no keypresses are registered (including <ALT><CTRL><BACKSPACE>)
kswapd0 just happens to also be chugging along at 99.9 % CPU utilization
*important part* You CAN NOT KILL the defunct process(es) yet they are of stat R. Kill 9 does not work, and looping through until you can kill it does not work either.
Not everytime, but sometimes well before the crash, dmesg showed output of "CFQ Baddness"

If so then this is what I have found:
acpi=off and/or pci=noacpi does not help
elevator setting of "as" or "noop" does not help
renicing the reiser4 kernel processes to -10 or -15 does not help
NOT mounting the reiser4 partitions at boot does not help

This problem manifests with or without SMP (and SMT with it). I have not tried turning off preempt, but it doesn't sound like that is the problem either.

Since I have this problem without any reiser4 partitions mounted (but I have yet to recompile the kernel WITHOUT reiser4 support compiled in) then I am guessing that even though it happens more often with Reiser4 partitions mounted that this is merely a result of it hogging more resources. (e.g. given a boat with a hole in the bottom, you cannot blame heavy cargo for causing the problem... it just makes the boat sink faster)

:?: Are you using vesafb / vesafb-tng :?:

sounds like framebuffer switching problem

Yes, something like this, except I don't use ReiserFS 4 (I do have a couple of ReiserFS 3 partitions). And while SSH does not work, the num lock key and LED do work, which is kind of odd. Generally if there's a full on kernel panic that breaks SSH, the num lock light does not work either.

It seems to happen while the system is multitasking under heavy load.

Win4Lin works like a charm, but the kernel wont compile with both win4lin and swsusp2 in the kernel.

So Softwaresuspend has beenpurged from my kernel :(
Thnx to the dude who created the Win4Lin patch anyway :)

I'm going to try it without fb support...

Please in a new release could you also include this fixes:

cdc_acm is broken in all the versions (at least for my modem, which is a common PTT provided modem).
After applying the patch everything works ok.

I thought I was going insane since I couldn't get xorg working. Now at least I know I'm not alone :)

edit: not using FB did work for me, though.

there's a patch:

The patch-swsusp-win4lin patch allows you suspend whilst running Win4Lin.

it's on http://softwaresuspend.berlios.de/options.html

enjoy.

Looks good but the problem is not that swsusp is not working... it just don't compile.
When I use nitro2 with Win4Lin patch only it compiles (and Win4Lin works), when I use nitro2 with swsusp-patch only it compiles (and hibernate works). When I use nitro2 with Win4Lin and swsusp-patch it doesnt compile :) (so nothing works)
Gonna look into that patch u gave me, but I think it will cause the same problem.
Thnx anyway

After upgrading from 2.6.8.1-nitro6 to 2.6.9-nitro2, the "less" utility quit working for me causing it to fail and return 1. Anyone else having this problem?

Don't know if this is a known issue.

When I try to boot with nitro2 the process just stops at a random time...
It won't reach gdm.

ups i had this behaviour on my last recompile of nitro2.

framebuffer switch to xorg into a black screen.

My solution was to connect via ssh from an other system and to
reemerge me nvidia-kernel and a restart.

please make sure your symlink in /usr/src/linux --points-to->> linux-2.6.9-nitro2
