The people gettin g hard-lock-ups:

Are you using nforce2 mobos? I noticed the current kernel doesn't contain the nforce2-apic work-around, ie doesn't disable cpu disconnect. YOu can check via this (if your lock doesn't happen too soon):

emerge athcool
athcool stat

It should report that that bit is NOT set. You can unset that bit with this tool. I wonder why Andrew took that patch out.


is the including nforce1 too?

i _ALWAYS_ get some acpi errors, thus it works, atleast i can shutdown my computer :D
but i would like them fixed, as it doesent look cool to get the errors :)

Like... already working?

It includes the bootsplash kernel patch, if that's what you mean. You still have to setup the config files and images from the bootsplash ebuild.

Has the nforce1 a APIC (=advanced programmable interrupt controller)?

APIC vs PIC:

24 (in case of nforce2 AFAIK) vs 15 interrups, thus pci devices share iirqs less often (or in lucky cases all have their own) thus having lower latencies.

I'm uploading the new patch now. It'll take ~5 minutes (56k :() so don't try and download it at the moment or it'll be incomplete.

@Redeeman

Have you enabled APIC in kernel? If yes, you don't have an APIC, so you are not affected of this bug anmd try to cool your athlon by seting the disconnect bit with athcool.

IGP working patch with 340M.

Using this patch (apply inside /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/drm after applying love patch):
http://unixhead.org/docs/thinkpad/patches/pakman-working-2.6.1-love1-igp.diff [updated url]

This may well break radeon IGP working in the 345M or other models so needs to be tested. Works well here though, I now have hardly any texture issues and good fps. I wouldn't advise putting this in the -love series until its tested with some different model IGPs as the vanilla radeon.ko may work for those.

So PrakashKC, will it fix my problem with insmod? Or is it something other?
I mean, the pwcx modul is for 2.6.0 , but i used the 2.5.xx modul with 2.6.0 and it worked.. so.. the new should work with 2.6.1, shouldn't it?

It is no specific insmod problem, so I guess you are experiencing some other bug.

But.. isn't this rc2 now? Or why does it have the same name as the "old" version without these patches?

I didn't think it was worth making a new release for. It just removes a patch and adds another two minor ones, so it's not much different from what it was.

Edit: is anyone else getting messages like these on bootup?:

Nope, perhaps you should compile in frame-pointers.

Yes, i get, but not in the init part.. I searched for the depscan error ( still no fix ) in my logs and saw a long list of bootsplash things.. Mhh.. The rc1-love1 worked better for me, because i got no errors, my webcam works and x works.. Now i got errors ( alsactl, depscan.sh, ALSA ( compiled in kernel bla, but everything is compiled als module ), but it works damn fast.

I don't get why the module don't work.. man, that really makes me sad :( i mean, it is for 2.6.0, but it should work fine with 2.6.1, like the module for 2.5.xx did with 2.6.0 :/

Wedge, please inform me if it works with framepointer, and where to find that option.

Ok, then you have not compiled it into the kernel or the kernel doesn't know about it, as your interrupt table just shows PIC usage.

atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x7a on isa0060/serio0).


Unsure what it refers to, I thought maybe the power control but removed the sleep function ,etc and still this message.

Any ideas?

You should find it in the kernel hacking section of the config, the last option in the list. It's a debugging option, it won't fix anything. There are a few patches to the code in drivers/char/vt.c in 2.6.1-mm1 that are displaying these warnings. I don't know if it just doesn't get along with bootsplash or if there's something else wrong.

Edit: Maybe I should have read the text in the patches :roll:
Code:
The VT code is currently, it seems, full of races, it basically doesn't
do any locking... This patch is definitely not fixing everything, but at
least fixes some of the most obvious ones by putting things under the
umbrella of the console semaphore. For debugging purposes, I added an
is_console_locked() call to kernel/printk.c along with a bunch of WARN_ON
in low level VT functions that I think should be protected.

I suppose we should merge this at least into -mm. Getting the semaphore
around vc_resize, at least, seems necessary to avoid nasty problems with
fbdev's especally when those try to output some debug printk's in the
mode setting code.

So it seems the warnings are just for debugging at the moment, and presumably will be removed at some point. It should be OK to ignore them, I think :) If you'd like to get rid of them I suppose you could just comment out the various WARN_ON lines in drivers/char/vt.c (the line numbers are displayed in the error messages).

Sorry for posting in this thread the xx time but i've got the same errors as the one above me ( edit: not wedge ):

look

I'm starting to believe that something is wrong with this kernel... insmod broken, many errors while booting , etc. Probably it is the mm1 base, because i have heard/read that there are many unfixed things which don't work.. But hey,
i am the newbie in kernel things ;)

I always thought that the might_sleep messages could be ignored, and were completely harmless. I'm having a look through some LKML posts just now to try and find out for sure.

So is everyone who is getting them using an nvidia card? It seems to be mentioning the nvidia module in most of the messages. I have an ATI card and I'm not seeing them.

So it isn't even something in -mm... There were some AGP fixes in 2.6.1, maybe it's something to do with them.
