========================================
warning: Do not bug the gentoo devs abouts this patchset
If you have problems, contact Tiger or me, or post in this thread.
========================================
Sorry for the delay guys. I've just finished up with exams, and have been very busy.
Beyond1 to beyond1.1
2.6.17 -> 2.6.17.2
Beyond Sources
From the makers of -archck, and -nitro. iphitus and Tiger683
That single patchset has arrived, -beyond. Beyond will have both, a stable (ArchCK/CKO like) branch, and an unstable (nitro like) branch available via git.
The beyond stable tree is a patchset based on the CK patchset. It aims to include a variety of popular features and updates that have not yet made it to the vanilla kernel, while remaining relatively stable. Con Kolivas' CK patchset is the most important part of beyond stable tree, as it provides the great interactivity and responsiveness improvements that it is noted for.
If you use wget to download files from beyond-sources.generation.no, use the "--user-agent=WHATEVER" as command line option
at the _end_ of the command! example: "wget http://someaddres/somefile --user-agent=MyFunkyUserAgent"

Hi,
here everything is working except suspend to RAM (suspend2).
It goes down and turn off the screen, but then in the next second and by itself turns on again.
Hibernates (to disc) works normally.
But it does the same thing on a vanilla 2.6.17 with only fbsplash patch and suspend2 2.2.6...

I'm sorry but this kernel quite sucks here. It freezes randomly, for example while emerging somthing. Is there any relevant new option that could cause this?

Ok I had some troubles with undervolting that was the reason for the freezes. So now everything seems to work again, including suspend2, standby and finally hdaps.
Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot iphitus!
Works perfectly here on an AMD X2 and a Pentium M Notebook. Suspend to Disk works as always, suspend to ram is quite funky... I have a feeling that it works as long as I dont suspend to disk.... after doing suspend to disk, coming back and doing suspend to ram, I get some graphic-errors which are quite ugly and the system will hang if I try to switch to the console.
But at least, suspend to ram works somewhat...  |

Thank you!
Working great here, nothing fancy, just an ordinary Pentium 4 without hyperthreading or anything.
Good responsiveness even when a root process ran away to 100% cpu usage. |

Hi Iphitus,
Alan's IDE PATA patch is not included in beyond 2.6.17. Is it due to this ?
| Code: | patching file include/linux/libata.h
Hunk #2 FAILED at 123.
Hunk #3 succeeded at 452 (offset 4 lines).
Hunk #4 succeeded at 581 (offset 4 lines).
1 out of 4 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file include/linux/libata.h.rej |
Alan's patch expects a vanilla 2.6.17, and wants to do this:
| Code: | ATA_DFLAG_LBA48 = (1 << 0), /* device supports LBA48 */
ATA_DFLAG_PIO = (1 << 1), /* device currently in PIO mode */
ATA_DFLAG_LBA = (1 << 2), /* device supports LBA */
+ ATA_DFLAG_HPA = (1 << 3), /* device has an HPA */ |
But of course, it fails because patch-2.6.17-beyond1.1 applies this change to vanilla:
| Code: | - ATA_DFLAG_LBA48 = (1 << 0), /* device supports LBA48 */
- ATA_DFLAG_PIO = (1 << 1), /* device currently in PIO mode */
- ATA_DFLAG_LBA = (1 << 2), /* device supports LBA */
+ ATA_DFLAG_LBA = (1 << 0), /* device supports LBA */
+ ATA_DFLAG_LBA48 = (1 << 1), /* device supports LBA48 */
+
+ ATA_DFLAG_CFG_MASK = (1 << 8) - 1,
+
+ ATA_DFLAG_PIO = (1 << 8), /* device currently in PIO mode */ |
This change is actually part of 2.6.17.2. Now, does someone know if everything is ok, if we trivially update Alan's patch so it would apply cleanly on top of 2.6.17.2 ? In other words, is it still safe to add ATA_DFLAG_HPA = (1 << 3) as in 2.6.17 ?
Thanks
PS: the "key" change seems to be this part of the 2.6.17.2 patch, in libata-core.c:
| Code: | /* initialize to-be-configured parameters */
- dev->flags = 0;
+ dev->flags &= ~ATA_DFLAG_CFG_MASK; |
Now, if ATA_DFLAG_HPA is supposed to be reset during this "initialize", the value of (1<<3) is fine. But if it mustn't be reset (same as ATA_DFLAG_PIO), then it needs to have a value of (1<<9) or above... |

Hey iphitus.... just wanting to make sure I'm not doing something wrong.. but the two 2.6.17 releases so far have not had the server kconfig stuff in them, right? I haven't seen the options, but your site says it's included. Thanks!
Oh... any chance of including the web100 patches? |

Can someone please explain to me why NO_PREEMPT is the default option in preemption as well as CONFIG_HZ default value is 100? It seems I've missed a few episodes on Staircase development and I'd like to get back in the game

NO_PREEMPT because Con believes that there is no need for preemption with schedulers. I'd agree as I haven't found a system yet that is more responsive with preemption enabled. Though I know there are others that prefer preempt+scheduling.
CONFIG_HZ=100 is the server patchset default. The regular default *should* be 1000. |

It works just fine on amd64 here... so don't worry.. either set ~x86 keyword for this in package.keywords or change the ebuild... |

| Yes, I agree. And mm5 patches are out. If they could merge suspend2 into mm5 would be great! Swsusp doesn't work for me. It messes with fan on my laptop. It turns on while starting swsusp and doesn't turn off after resume. If manually turned off then doesn't turn on if cpu is hot. It works with suspend2. So, I'm stuck with ck patches, but mm feels so much faster... Also suspend 2.2.7 is out! |
