2.6.18-viper1: Mutatis Mutandis

antares2001 · Guru Joined: 02 Mar 2004 Posts: 339 Location: Germany

With vanilla-sources or ck-sources (2.6.18 both) my TV card works charming without any problems. I can compile it into kernel or as module and both works.

I also noticed that if I compile it in viper as a module and activate autoloading for modules in kernel, the nvidia-drivers (beta 9er series) don't start X any more and my PC hangs during X startup...

Hope this helps.

vanilla works fine.

maybe it has something to do with the mm-patches?

Here you get an excerpt of my .config for the ck-kernel where it works:

# Multimedia devices
#
CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L2=y

#
# Video Capture Adapters

CONFIG_VIDEO_BT848=m

#
# Encoders and Decoders
#
CONFIG_VIDEO_MSP3400=m

#
# V4L USB devices

CONFIG_USB_PWC=m

# Digital Video Broadcasting Devices
#
CONFIG_DVB=y
CONFIG_DVB_CORE=y

# Supported BT878 Adapters
#
CONFIG_DVB_BT8XX=m

relative portion of my .config emission-sources when it works.

Too bad the system freezes randomly under heavy CPU load (distcc compilation)

Maybe I'll try Desktop instead of Low-latency Desktop and disabling compcache, but alas, it's a pity because the patchset looks tempting, plus it runs VMWare which -no2 does not.
Anyone else having similar problems?

I think -viper2 is coming out in a few days from internal talks so please bear with vipernicus and Astorm.

Is it possible to add libata pata drivers into this patchset?

I know it's buggy and .. and ... and ... ;P

but driver for nForce is done and works really good with my nForce4 based motherboard..

I would appreciate the libata pata drivers to be included, too

since it's now the only "real" way (high performance + working with all bios settings) to get my IDE-harddrives connected the JMicron-controller to work

the non-libata Jmicron drivers works fine but not always ..., the libata-drivers "feels" more mature (just a feeling :roll:

)
