2.6.21-viper1: The Quick And The Dead | (SDv0.46)

vipernicus

Viper Sources is pretty much my playground for new patches.
The main goal of this patchset is pretty much to offer the latest features, decrease latencies, decrease overhead, and improve interactivity. The only difference is experimental versions of everything. I boot test each release and run for an extended amount of time.

/* Notes */
04/27/2007
Updated to 2.6.21, SD 0.46. Dyntick is default in 2.6.21. If you want CFS, check out -nicus.

Extended changelog, downloads, and support requests have been moved to http://forums.nesl247.org/viewforum.php?f=18

Slavo: as kernel changelog reports, the builtin alsa version is 1.0.14rc3, which is also the latest available in portage
Vipernicus: what about coretemp patch? Ive just compiled it, Im going to reboot now and post results

edit: coretemp driver works

ah time to update, I'm still running a .19 kernel

I hope you used latest tp_smapi in the thinkpad patches.

Thanks in advance!

The new kernel looks not that bad, but I can't get phc to work.

According to the documentation here: https://www.dedigentoo.org/trac/linux-phc/wiki/UsingTheSysFsInterface i should be able to use the sysfs under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/op_points_table

but I don't even have that entries.

Anyone here using newer undervolting patches?

Or what am I doing wrong?

By the way when I set the kernel config option: [*] Use ACPI tables to decode valid frequency/voltage pairs (deprecated)

then I have that sysfs entry, but whenever I try to access it the process hangs.

Great kernel! Works fine (so far) here.

Keep up the good work!

Is there a way to disable 4k stacks? I can't seem to find an option for it in the "Kernel hacking" section and I think the driver for my wireless-card doesn't like them

module-rebuild populate
module-rebuild rebuild

Hello, ok have one small problem while trying to update from 2.6.17-beyond3, on boot i get error:

Dottout · l33t Joined: 07 Mar 2006 Posts: 882

it looks like you didnt enable cpufreq. upgrading a kernel to a pretty different one with make oldconfig can mess up things. try to clean kernel src and restart from a make menuconfig

If any of you would be interested in a "lighter" patchset, check http://vipernicus.org . Don't ask for an ebuild for those two.
