I ran into a problem with intebench in that if running in non-realtime mode the memory load test would never finish (and I left the computer "do its thing" for almost 9 hours!). Oddly enough the numbers were strange, if running in RT mode the latencies would be higher than in normal mode, especially ...

Have you tested again with 2.6.17? What application did you use to benchmark, and what methodology?

Broken out is the whole set of patches (individually) that integrate the whole patchset. The regular is a condensation of those.

I've ran into a problem when using the broken out patches... I can't bulid sched.o, here's the output:

Are you building an SMP kernel? Otherwise use the Flat memory model.

I'm on AMD64 too, and have had no tourble building the kernel on this platform. How are you configuring it?

Cheers.

Sry 4 bad english

In what way are you expecting to work better than gentoo-sources? Are you expecting to work way faster on this kernel?

Read above, he gets a lot of disk activity when using VMWare.

Under General at the root of menuconfig Just bellow the Swap option.

A long shot, but you may try turning swap prefetch off, as it may be the responsible for your unwanted disk activity.

This may be unrelated, but I thought I'd ask... I was looking at the help item for the CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT item in the Kernel Hacking section of menuconfig, and was wondering what would the best setting be... Te help says that for uniprocessor systems (i386, pressumably) the best option is to set ...

But CK5 puts CFQ as the default sched

Maybe the reason some people is experiencing problems with their RiserFS partitions and Nitro2 is due to a problem actually found in CK5 (reported to the CKML), regarding an issue with CFQ scheduler. Have any of you with the problem tried anticipatory I/O sched only? In the report to the ML they say ...

Bur you are using ReiserFS 3.6, don't you? Because Reiser4 requires you to have ReiserProgrs 4

I'm in the process of building another test case, without debugging options (I left them in thsi test case to see if it catched anythig, boy did it catch something!) Oddly enough with Gentoo sources (or reference Fedora kernel), this does not happen... I just hope this is not caused by setting low ...

That's exactly my problem! I don't have 3Gigs to spare My poor HDD needs a buddy desperately!)

I was afraid you were going to say that... If I only had the spare HDD!

I'm thinking on upgrading it... I'll try one last attempt at this, see if I can get it to segfault again, if it does, upgrade time.


BTW, do you know if it possible to cross-build for x86 on x86_64?
TIA!

[OT]
Not nitro related, but has anoyone else noticed some GCC 4.x hiccups? It already SEGFAULTed on me TWICE and I'm like WHAT?!?! 8O GCC actually SEGFAULT ing, what the heck?!?! This was with GCC 4.0.1, by the way.[/OT]

Edit
By the way, this was once on Fedora and once on Gentoo... EXTREMELY ...

And thanks for letting me redistribute your work, man!


Hey, it's open source ;)
btw, i couldn't restrict something that's already gpl anyways, and linux kernel certainly is :D
Just the same, I thought I'd let you know what I was about to do ;)

And still thank you: For the effort put into ...

emerge new hibernate script (i use 1.12).

now im off to bed, eyelids go down already....
If you read this before you go to bed, how did you fix the header problem for the centrino patch?? (diff -Nuarp or something?)

And thanks for letting me redistribute your work, man!

Edit
Nevermind :oops ...

Hey Tiger, last time I forgot to ask you... Is it OK if I distribute Fedora RPMs based on your patchset? I know we're in an open community, but I thought I'd ask, anyway

Does your NIC uses the Tulip driver?

I've seen Conexant NICs that do that, and they tend to perform real bad with the Linux Tulip driver.

Could that be a problem on how VIM is built (what options you used, etc) and an interaction with the rest of the system? A long-shot, I know, since that includes a LOT of ground to cover, but could be worth trying to build it with more standard options...
