Deleted the old patch and ebuild, remerged and recompiled love-sources, but bootsplash still doesn't work as it should...

4k stacks is known to break the nvidia module; that won't be fixed except by nvidia.

As for register arguments, that completely breaks binary compatibility, so nvidia has to either turn it on, or turn it off, and then insist that you use the same setting for your kernel. Since it's a relatively new option, they're sticking with backward compatibility, and it's off. That's my understanding, anyway.

Thanks, but what's really the performance with :
[ ] Use 4Kb for kernel stacks instead of 8Kb

sorry, I can't speak english very much.

@nforce trouble:

Could you please do a "dmesg|grep halt"? Does then "using C1 halt disconnect friendly idle threads." appear? If yes, you need to report to Ross Dickson (just post at lkml), so he gets in contact with to update the patch. I am now using the C1halt patch for a couple of days and system runs fine (and of course survives hdparm -t).

BTW, was the patch stable for you with past love kernel? I mean _I don't know whether Len's patch (which remaps timer irq to APIC, check with cat /proc/interrupts) is in vanilla kernel.

Nothing appears on "dmesg|grep halt", though it's still hardlocking. :/

The last release with the C1halt patch wasn't more stable.


But with that new release bootsplash now works for me. :)

Then I suspect steel300 didn't properly patch the kernel. I haven't tried this love sources, so I cannot tell for sure. But as you don't get the message I posted, the patch is not active and as such you get hard-lock-ups. steel300? Comments on this?

To be honest, I don't even find the patch in love. O_o
Have I missed something?

I'll try to patch it manually now.

I just cleaned /usr/portage/distfiles and /var/tmp/portage, did a digest for love-sources, remerged and recompiled it another time... didn't change anything.
This is the error-message I get: http://home.arcor.de/tazok/bootsplash.png

@PrakashKC
Could you send me a patched process.c as I seem to be unable to patch it myself?

Or do you have any ideas about it?

I think the copy and paste and post f#cked up the tabs or alike. I'll send you the patch, so you can use it on future kernels, if necessary.

"compile without erros, bootsplash works fine but I get an error when I emerge nvidia-kernel:"

Try :
