| That error can appear because of the new changes in the x86 arch. |

| Code: | if (aper_size < 64*1024*1024) {
printk(KERN_ERR "Aperture too small (%d MB)\n", aper_size>>20);
return 0;
} |
According to this, if you have an AGP aperture size lower than 64MB, you'll get this error. |

Hello.
I've just switched back to Gentoo and I've used your kernel in my installation.
There's a problem, though. When I compile stuff the whole system lags. It becomes very unresponsive and the cursor lags like hell.
I've got a E6400 and 1G ram, so my hardware specifications are ok.
Here's my .config file: http://rapidshare.de/files/38176289/.config.html
I'm afraid I've "optimised" the kernel too much.

As for the b43 thing...the firmware put in those folders, and no dice...I don't get why it is doing it, but the modules aren't loading and when I modprobe, nothing happens. I'm sick of using ndiswrapper.
Oh...and it is the zen kernel sources that are not allowing things to be compiled against anything other than the original source. Something is wrong with the headers when they are put together that is keeping things from working properly..I'll figure out which files it is missing, and then look into some code, I guess...

x86 32bit here
problem with modules_install
doesnt make /driver/ata/ of the modules directory
and when i do mkinitcpio i get:
| Code: | ERROR: module 'pata[-_]sis' not found
ERROR: module 'ata[-_]generic' not found |

I just pushed the firmware files to zen... It should work now... Sorry about that.
The master .gitignore file has a *.o.* directive, which caused git to ignore the firmware files, and since I had them locally, but they were not pushed, it worked for me, but not you.
P.S. Sorry about the delay. |

that's (still) default CFS behavior (I got that too, irrespectively what I set up  )
hopefully that will be fixed in the near future 
please report that to ingo that he can reproduce & fix it
some part for me was caused by compiz & nvidia-drivers, so it could be also something similar for you ...

Thank you for suggesting me what may be wrong in my configuration.
I'm having trouble with nvidia-drivers, too. I can't get the AGPGART support to work. I tried installing gentoo-sources, but I still can't get the nvidia drivers to load AGP.
I tried installing the drivers with gentoo-sources, too. No success. 
My video card is a GeForce4 ti4200 (yes, I've installed the legacy drivers) and it worked perfectly in ArchLinux. It's not an hardware related problem.
Could it be a problem related to the kernel configuration?

this is what i do;
i leave out completely agpgart in my kernel config.
then
i tell xorg to use nvidia's;
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA GeForce"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NvAGP" "1"
dunno. maybe you have already tried this.

I can't believe it! The AGP support is back again
I suppose you're compiling the x86 kernel, because I had to manually edit the Kconfig file to disable the built-in kernel AGP support.
@Waninkoko
In /usr/src/linux/arch/x86/Kconfig, line 415, could you modify it this way:
| Code: | -bool "GART IOMMU support if EMBEDDED"
+bool "GART IOMMU support |
Lines 412-413:
| Code: | # Mark as embedded because too many people got it wrong.
# The code disables itself when not needed. |
But if one really wants to disable it...?
I know it isn't a problem directly related to zen-sources, but it would be nice to have a properly configurable kernel.

I am not if you fixed you issue already...
Try to disable the FAIR_GROUP_SCHED. I had some weird issues listening to music while compiling. after removing that option everything turned back to normal.
cheers

I don't observe this issue, meaning that compilation does not affect:
mouse
windows moving,
music playing
general system responsiveness is not affected
or anything else
with
CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED=y
so either this is your config or other(e.g. hardware) problems? |

it must be dddddddddependent on the scheduler (just compiling some stuff niced to +15 / 15
and you see the loads of d's I justtttttttt wrote (and the t's)
this happens with core2 duos (laptop & computer) and centriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiino (dothaaaaaaaaaaaaaan) cpu's
-> x86 and amd64 / 64 bit kernels, it's also independent if I usee ati-drivers or nvidia-drivers, preemption & soft-irq, hard-irq, whatever - is enabled ...
this all began wwwwwwwwwwwith usage of the cfs scheduler ...
... I'm hoping that ingo knows a fix foooooor that / improves the scheduler that ttttttttthis will stop in the near future ...

@KernelOfTruth: this might be another FAIR_GROUP_SCHED issue...

I have a centrino duo processor, and have no such problems. I do however use Low Latency Desktop.
P.S. I have FAIR_GROUP_SCHED enabled w/o problems. |

I had the same problem on my laptop (core duo) with kamikaze kernels and solution/workaround was to set CONFIG_HZ_100=yes. I actually alwasy get better performance with CONFIG_HZ=100 then with other options.
According help the best option for desktop systems with dual core processors is CONFIG_HZ=4* but in my case that caused problems to, before with kamikaze kernels. now with zen works nice but I feel 100 is still better. |

have you enabled PATA_SIS and ATA_GENERIC? they can both be found in "Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers".
and from the error output it guess you have to build them as module.
cheers

this is your error:
if you don't need any of these remove specific entry from mkinitcpio.conf
if you need these, add specific entry to your kernel .config file
I would assume though that with sis pata, you will need ata generic to boot system at all |

Does I do something wrong? But why I have to download all the 200MB tree everytime I make "git pull"??? I also try to delete all the sources an make a new tree, but than the same problem.
and there are a lot of errors like that:
| Code: | error: refs/tags/v2.6.24-rc6-zen0 does not point to a valid object!
|
also If i tape git checkout:
| Code: |
git checkout
fatal: failed to unpack tree object 12843b660588f8775b72e2662fbf0bb6c2c594c7
