Official thread: "zen-sources" - Part III

[stable.entropy]

I still can not get an ati-driver to build against a 2.6.25 kernel. When I try and compile it I get this:

I have the same problem, master-devel 2.6.25-zen0 (I modified the ebuild to have EGIT_BRANCH and EGIT_TREE set to "master-devel" instead.)

^^ (Credits to sarah.a.happy for the patch.)

The above code is a patch for ati-drivers. I have modified the 8.471.3 (Catalyst 8.3) and version bumped it to 8.476.4 (Catalyst 8.4). With the above patch, and the kernel configured to export unused and obsolete symbols, it builds (with warnings). I am running 2.6.25-zen0 "master-devel".

I will compile are reboot when all is kosher.



edit: looks like master-devel may be broken, i'm getting bad relocations on build. I'm rollin back some enhancements on the build to double check.

[tranquilcool]

i really need the reise4 patch for 2.6.25 or at least the one in zen-sources.
please can anybody help?

just use Edward's latest 2.6.24-patch & the 2 pending patches mentioned in this post

thanks kernelOfTruth. needed the patch for dark-sources.

[tranquilcool]

ok this is not the right place.

post to inform that the reiser4 patches do not work with dark-sources.

errors;

CC fs/reiser4/plugin/file/file.o
fs/reiser4/plugin/file/file.c: In function ‘shorten_file’:
fs/reiser4/plugin/file/file.c:547: error: implicit declaration of function ‘zero_user_page’

[dusanc]

Or maybe just wait for reiser4-for-2.6.25.patch as there is surely some intree differences between .24 and .25
I sure wouldn't value my data a lot if it were on a untested fs under untested kernel made with some patch for different version?
(Untested as in not tested to work together and not meant globaly)
Maybe just ask on #reiser4 or reiser4-devel@vger.kernel.org

[kernelOfTruth]

My temperatures haven't increased at all, except recently when DynamicClocks was enabled for R500 Radeons. I'm running a Core 2 Duo laptop in 32-bit mode with latest git and my aufs and xpad patches.

*bump*

Linus & the lkml now know of this issue: see

could anyone who can reproduce it - and has the time - bisect it ?

I'd really like to do it myself but we're writing exams on an almost weekly basis (in several cases on an daily basis !) til' july & that way you might be able to find the patch causing this much faster than I would

I - of course - will start bisecting but at earliest starting next weekend (I need this production box & my laptop is out and in use)

thanks

This is fixed in latest version here: http://repo.or.cz/w/linux-2.6.git?a=his ... a3;hb=HEAD

[dusanc]

And there is now reiser4-for-2.6.25, and you can now get it from new place at kernel.org
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ ... 4-for-2.6/ where it would be more available than untill now

Live long and prosper

thank you so much buddy!

[kriko]

I saw BFQ, but kernel didn't compile with it previously. Will it be reincluded and fixed?
I'm curious about performance with it.

BFQ compiles with vanilla and dark-sources.

[dodo1122]

bfq will be in 2.6.25-zen1, which will (hopefully) be ready tomorrow.

[Veldrin]

Yay... I started wondering when it would come.

OTOH I might wait with the upgrade until nvidia releases some decent drivers (173.08 are slow on 2.6.24, needs checking)

Hi all,

here 2.6.24-zen4 works great so far, but with 2.6.24-zen5 i can't mount my crypted device anymore:

Code: Select all

device-mapper: table: 253:0: crypt: Error initializing ESSIV hash
device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
device-mapper: ioctl: device doesn't appear to be in the dev hash table.

Any hint, how I can hunt down this beast?
I thank you in advance! best regards
are

[kriko]

Oh, yes - almost forgot. Are nvidia drivers working on 2.6.15? I mean older that those latest beta because they are slow like hell.

[dodo1122]

We are still working on -zen1... it's taking a lot of time to rebase and update everything :/

Fortunately, I can announce that zen-sources will have proper patch distribution, just like kamikaze. This means that you won't have to clone the git repo in order to get the patchset, i will be uploading diffs between vanilla kernel and zen in bzip2 to (i already registered zen-sources, now waiting for approval or refusal ) sourceforge.

If you mean .25, yeah, they compile and work on 25-zen0

[dodo1122]

ok, here it is.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/zen-sources/

i uploaded 2.6.25-zen0 there already .

[Gregoire]

2.6.25 being finally out Which according to this forum, should be the kernel which gets multiproto getting in

Just for the reccord, there is now a multiproto_plus : http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto_plus which still lack support for some cards, like HVR-4000, but that's available though patch (see for example my last asking for inclusion of multiproto in this forum).

Thanks.

I've getting an error with zen-sources-2.6.25-zen0 (+ versions from master-devel)[1]. I in certain conditions (after few houres of running?) cannot hibernate. It hangs on the 'seeking to xxxx free MB of ram'. If I press escape it start 'escaping'(ie. says so) but it do not seem to do anything more. What can be wrong?

[1] It worked on 2.6.24-zen*

[mmike]

i have the same problem, but i workaround in freeing the memory myself before hibernating.

How do you do that?
