With nick's new scheduler, is it still recommended to renice x?

yeah, if you use xorg then use steel300's xorg wrapper @ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~jpcox/xorg_instructions
CaribbeanKnight: please try what i said again.
after it fails with error do :
nano arch/i386/kernel/vmlinux.lds.s
ctrl + w then ctrl + t then 660 [enter]
delete that line and 2 lines below it.
save the file then type make
(don't at any point type make clean or it'll get messed up).

peace

StardusT linux #

and i can't find a bzImage in arch/i386/boot... am i doing something wrong here..??


I got an very similar error when trying to compile the latest love, so I just commented the mentioned lines, which had the following content in my case:

Code:
 #ifdef CONFIG_MKI
 #define TIF_MKI_RETUSER      /* 15    need to call MKI retuser hook */
 #endif


After that, it compiled cleanly.
But be careful with doing the same, because I have absolutely NO IDEA, what this would change. :D

Unfortunately, Bootsplash still does not work right, although I did a clean install.
Wondering, if I am the only one with this problems...

This one is an easy fix, and is mentioned in the last (or the one before that) love-sources thread by Steel.

Go into mki26.c and replace PF_IOTHREAD with PF_NOFREEZE. It occurs four times, at lines 569/570 and 1750/1751. In the changelog to 2.6.6 they changed the name due to something else having the same code, blah.

Hi,

Have 2.6.6-rc3-love2 working, and it seems to fly as before, thanks

Remaining problems are:
- bootsplash is back -wow- but fills and scrolls only 24 lines (in an 1024x768 screen); further (post-boot) fb consoles are ok
- had to abandon win4lin because mki26.o error (reported in former msg)
- met the three #... lines error in vmlinux.lds.s at line 1536 (as already reported)

Well to actually fix the error, just move the comment so the constant gets defined:
Code:
 #ifdef CONFIG_MKI
 #define TIF_MKI_RETUSER      15   /* need to call MKI retuser hook */
 #endif

That should fix it.

i've done this & didn't work
here is a piece of vmlinuz.ld.s
Code:


/*
 * thread information flags
 * - these are process state flags that various assembly files may need to access
 * - pending work-to-be-done flags are in LSW
 * - other flags in MSW
 */






 #ifdef CONFIG_MKI
 #define TIF_MKI_RETUSER 15
 #endif









 

   #define _TIF_MKI_RETUSER   (1<<TIF_MKI_RETUSER)





/* work to do on interrupt/exception return */



Code:

epoch linux # make
make[1]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' est? actualizado.
  CHK     include/linux/compile.h
  GEN     .version
  CHK     include/linux/compile.h
  UPD     include/linux/compile.h
  CC      init/version.o
  LD      init/built-in.o
  LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
ld:arch/i386/kernel/vmlinux.lds.s:1354: ignoring invalid character `#' in expression
ld:arch/i386/kernel/vmlinux.lds.s:1354: parse error

why?

No, I have just done the same thing to test it. I ran win4lin for a quick test run and all was fine.

I don;t know what other effects deleting those lines may have as I have gone back to my original kernel so don;t know long-term effects.

About nvidia-kernel:
since this very version of love, the module is compiled as nvidia.ko (formerly was nvidia.o). All seems working fine on this side.

Thiis is in reply to the following compile error:
Code:
LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
ld:arch/i386/kernel/vmlinux.lds.s:660: ignoring invalid character `#' in expression
ld:arch/i386/kernel/vmlinux.lds.s:660: syntax error
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

There is a formatting error in one of the preprocessor commands. A modification will need to be made to the 2.6.6.-rc3-love2 patch file. You will need to change lines 170147 - 170149 from:
Code:
+ #ifdef CONFIG_MKI
+ #define TIF_MKI_RETUSER                15      /* need to call MKI retuser hoo$
+ #endif

to the following:
Code:
+#ifdef CONFIG_MKI
+#define TIF_MKI_RETUSER                15      /* need to call MKI retuser hoo$
+#endif

Notice the elimination of the space before preprocessor commands. For those of you that have already installed the distribution and do not want to do it again you will need to modify the file "/usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386/thread_info.h". You will need to remove the space preceeding the preprocessor commands on lines 155-157.

thanks, i'm recompiling to test this out right now and i'll put a new patch up asap.
PickledOnion: thanks, i also applied your modifications.

afaik all gcc-3.4 fixes gone mainstream (accept the warnings fix in love).
so yeah it does work.
i compile it with CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -ftracer -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mfpmath=sse -ffast-math -fweb -funit-at-a-time" and it compiles/works just fine.

Still some trouble for the peace: on line 111758 of 2.6.6-rc3-love2 (bunzipped), offending spaces between '+' and '#define _TIF_MKI_RETUSER' have escaped the vigilance of the guardian.
When removed, compilation is ok.
