Is the USB unplug problem fixed? Guess I'll find out soon enough.

Compiled and booted. Using Genetic Nicksed (with both testing options) & anticipatory i/o sched w/ genetic lib. Previous release was amazing, didn't suffered any problem, great performance. Hope this one is better...

Thanks a lot, fallow... lovely job!

Why don't you just set a different I/O scheduler for your usb device in /sys? Or set a different I/O scheduler globally at boot?

Nevermind, I had a typo in my /etc/make.conf, I didn't check it carefully enough. :oops:

I also came to the conclusion that Genetic is causing the USB drive problems.

I love your sources so i'm just turning off Genetic stuff until this is resolved.

Later!

I'm having some trouble loading the fglrx module (ati-drivers). I compiled love-sources with the same config I used for my other kernel, only when I boot with love-sources, I can't modprobe fglrx. It gives me this error:

I too would like to confirm that unplugging USB devices (specifically USB storage) causes kernel panic with Genetic stuff turned on. Currently I have the Genetic Library compiled in, but nothing else. I'm guessing it does nothing without enabling the Genetic schedulers (Anticipatory and Nicksched).

Now running without Genetic schedulers, USB storage working smoothly.

Cheers

at now :

If You have oops with usb deplugging , Just don`t enable genetic anticipatory (in menuconfig)(is off by default) , genetic nicksched is safe - You can still use other IO schedulers and "normal"/ regular anticipatory . look to the previous release - this release is a some kind of fixes from love1 updates, is a less new stufff here.

I prefers genetick nicksched + deadline for ex

in this release has also most fresh cfq2 .

Nevermind, I fixed my problem. I just had to remove the DRM manager from my kernel config. Funny, it worked fine in gentoo-dev-sources.

Another butt-kicking-love-release.

There are definitely no better sources for use with Reiser4.

thanks people

it seems to be not so bad

I was really disappointed because of this usb bug in this release.

I think many bugs from previous (love1) are fixed now ... is still this damn

usb-unpluging.

Will be great if somebody will send me shot or maybe some text , EIP etc. -> fallow@neostrada.pl
I`m going to send this problem review to maintainer of Genetic Lib and Genetic Anticipatory.

Maybe we also will try to fix it - if I could have oops text

I can also prepare a patch to reverse genetic anticipatory implementation from love2.

however - it seems that using of Genetic Nicksched with CFQ,Deadline,Regular/Normal Anticipatory don`t gives problems

and we decided also to make a longer testing period , before any next love sources release will be official.
at this stage any help or bugs reporting on the irc will be very useful

cheers.

Great job fallow!

I can finally get back to using love sources after being "stranded" with nitro for quite a while

.
Since I am getting those USB oopses I'll just stick with deadline as you have recommended. But I'd like to know, how does
deadline perform with multiple heavy I/O operations at once?

Also, has anyone tried benchmarking genetic schedulers versus normal schedulers (both CPU and I/O)?
They feel more responsive, but I'd be interesting to see some numbers. I lack the time to do proper tests.

i have a couple of problems with love-sources
-----------------------------------------------------
i'm not really good at this stuff, but i tried love-sources 2.6.11-r1 and on some heavier compilations (those lasting longer then 25min) my system would go into complete halt. CPU was extremely hot at that moment (i cannot tell you exactly, but the very air inside of the box was at least 40C, which is absolutely rare for me). it happened numerous times on love-sources. gentoo-dev-sources work all right all the time, however.

i'm not an overclocker. i don't do things like that. i have an 1.7Ghz celeron (pentium4-compatible cpu)

i did not use clock modulation features in kernel config, the config was the same as in my gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.10 kernel. i only enabled love-specific features.

so,umm, what did i do wrong?

oh, by the way - i cannot get framebuffer to work with love-sources, but it works on 2.6.10-r6 with the same setup. (i mean links -driver fb complains that device /dev/fb0 does not exist on love-sources, but it works with gentoo-dev-2.6.10-r6 (and older dev-2.6 as well)). (i'm using udev btw.)
