 Posted: Wed Apr 13, 2005 8:54 am Post subject: 2.6.12-rc2-vivid1 (full mm,ck+small additions) |
 |
|
2.6.12-rc2-vivid1 is for 2.6.12-rc2-mm3
I dont looking to extend audience this time :p 
but maybe just someone will be interested in this.
Im cfq-ts,kexec and more stuff user and I like to have Staircase with all additions.
The simple way is to just use mm as base and add ck for it . Im also vesa-tng/fbsplash user so this patches are here.

This small patchset is prepared for 2.6.12-rc2-mm3.
Many of features are just in mm3 like reiser4,Kexec,FUSE,CFQ-Timeslice etc.
Patches here are from CK,Spock(fbsplash,vesatng) and Krejler (USB MousePolling)
This patchset is just like CK form mm , with small additions.
CPU Scheduler : Staircase 10.7_tes1
about test1 patch for 10.7 [ a quote from CK mailing list ] :
This patch addresses basically the
_last known_ behavioural problem in staircase which noone has actually hit in
the wild but I still knew about. I've been looking at it for some time to try
and find a cheap way to work around the misbehaviour _without_ affecting the
way staircase behaves in any way.
|
and the list : | Code: |
small_vivid_menu.diff - selection of default io scheduler etc.
2612rc2mm3-staircase107.diff - reverse mm's sched* changes and apply staircase10.7
s10.7_test1.diff - last update for the staircase
timeslice_sysctl.diff - for setting base_timeslce for staircase and show its unusability
schedbatch2.7.diff |
schediso2.12.diff |-> additional "policies" for staircase
schedrange.diff |
1g_lowmem1_i386.diff - for big mem users hack hehe :)
cddvd-cmdfilter-drop.patch - a non-root cd hack from ck
isobatch_ionice2.diff |
rt_ionice.diff |-> extension to iopro.h
mapped_watermark3.diff - vmscan enchancement
fbsplash-0.9.2-r1-2.6.12-rc1-bk5.patch - framebuffer splash support
vesafb-tng-0.9-rc6-r2-2.6.12-rc1.patch - vesa resolutions and refresh rates easy settings
usbhid-readd-kconfig-r1.patch - Krejler's usb mouse polling setting.

in the past we have other trees :
- mmvivid was a vivid full mm based
- vivid was vanilla based.
- vv_e was extended vivid in the times of vivid_stable maintained by Troll
- mmvv_e was extended mm based vivid in the times of vivid_stable maintained by Troll.
mmvivid,vv_e,mmvv_e are deprecated
last time : vivid is mm based + ck + small additions
vividserv is our tree for the servers maintained by Predatorfreak
cheers.

Fallow, your ebuild has a type - says 2.6.11 instead of 2.6.12 for the patch file name
Wait, nm, the ebuild says nothing about 11, but its trying to download the 11 patch for some reason... I'm confused.

Got it, you used ${KV} so it uses the version of the kernel I'm currently running, but I'm on 2.6.11 as of right now, so it threw it off. Let's see if I can fix this myself, shouldn't be too hard Yup, got it, emerging now.

As pointed out above, the kernel has nothing to do with what's booted, just what it supports. Your bootloader has to support RR4 in order for the partition to be bootable. Also, as you would see from reading the post, this version does not appear to include a RR4 patch in line with Fallow's recent disillusionment with RR4 which I may or may not have had anything to do with.

yay fallow
would be nice to test vivid again, to see how new staircase is playing with ricer4 
but same here: nvidia (both 6629 and 7x thing) compile fine, load fine, but fail to initialize at X startup.
mm is still mm it seems :/
must patch latest ck with reiser4, or just get rid of that (thinking about that for some days already somehow, after long testing phase more contras than pros for it)
greets!

dude, since kernel 2.6 ALSA is in vanilla permanently
alsa-driver is for 2.4 kernel

Read
Perhaps you can contribute. We need some xfs opinion in there too, so perhaps you could give that a try? Your use of RR4 suggests an experimenting mind.

hihihihi!
ok, now i have 2.6.12-rc2-ck1 + ricer4 +kexec & fun (called it ckpp ..lol)
fallow, your gen4nicksched work in BIG respekt, but staircase, yumm it rocks i have to admit.
still high cpu with reiser4 when copying a load of stuff, but all in all it's nice when i copy/mv/delete stuff around on reiserfs and ext3. so it's like: bye bye reiser4
DrWarland: reading, but xfs is no candidate for me somehow. ext3 or ..jfs.. is good now? lets see
/me join's here
greets!

I don't like reiser4. For some reason, when I tried to compile this kernel (and i've tried several times with different options selected and deselected, I always get a kernel oops, which causes nvidia and alsa to not load. Any ideas?
(the oops error is different every time) |

Same here.
@fallow
Would it be possible to include Win4Lin support?
Other than that great work.

I have emu10k1 , alsa working superb for me.
| Code: |
[ebuild NS ] media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.9_rc2 -debug -doc +oss 0 kB
|
about win4lin : Please add it yourself . Im not using it ,this "patchset" isnt for extending audience or making yet another patchset propaganda. I dont using it , so I will be not available even to test it .
It is bad thing to always adding a feature wchich will be _untested_ in new patchset version.
Please use vivid if You're like it , if not - just no
greetings &
cheers

I have a problem about ati-drivers.
I compiles ok but failed to modprobe.
| Code: |
gentoo ~ # modprobe fglrx
FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.12-rc2-vivid1/video/fglrx.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
|
dmesg says
| Code: |
fglrx: Unknown symbol inter_module_get
|
tried love 2.6.12-rc2 too
modprobe could be done, but give me a black sreen when startx.
I use a ati 9800pro on nf2 board.
Anyone could help me?
