Why is this version so damn buggy? I mean.. everything worked for me with 2.6.1-rc1, and this should be the _stable_ ... But i don't want to change back, too.. But thanks to wedge for the big support :) I hope my insmod problem and the other thinks will be fixed in another version of the kernel ;)

Wedge: I think they are basically harmless, but a lot of people seem to get them and may be confusing them for other problems..

EG: Look at this post

I know it's not your responsiblity but if you do find something then we can spread the word that they are harmless or what to do to fix it...

I am still looking myself.

Searching through the LKML archives, there are lots of posts that mention this type of message. They seem to occur in lots of different situations for various different reasons. I remember getting them occasionally a couple of months ago, and they seemed to be related to the ATI fglrx driver. They just stopped appearing at some point, either a driver or kernel upgrade must've fixed something.

Anyway, I'm hoping to find a magical post that basically says "They're harmless. Ignore" :lol:

If anyone wants to get rid of all the bootsplash warnings, apply this patch. It doesn't seem to cause any problems for me.

Sorry for the constant stream of posts here :)

I was looking at the messages PickledOnion posted, and went to try and find out where they were coming from. kmem_cache_alloc() is in mm/slab.c, and is just a wrapper around a function called __cache_alloc(). This function calls a pair of debugging functions before and after doing whatever the hell it does :D The second debug function has it's entire body inside an #ifdef DEBUG. The first debug function looks like this:
Code:
static inline void
cache_alloc_debugcheck_before(kmem_cache_t *cachep, int flags)
{     
   might_sleep_if(flags & __GFP_WAIT);
#if DEBUG
   kmem_flagcheck(cachep, flags);
#endif
}

That appears to be where the messages are being generated, and it just looks like the might_sleep should be inside the #ifdef. Can one of the people affected try making that change (mm/slab.c, line 1868) and see if it fixes things?

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.

Does adding "pci=noacpi" to your kernel command line help?

Wedge - just changed line 1868 in mm/slab.c and recompiling now.. don't know if it needs a recompile but it won't take too long, report back in a minute.

Edit: It's all gone horribly wrong...I will start again and see how things go - perhaps it is an nvidia thing but don't know if it was the patch to halt errors or the editing slab.c. I get a black screen at login now... I'll keep you informed.

Edit2: Thank goodness someone has said ignore them! I am trying to fix the mess I made and am now using generic nv drivers....
Lesson #1: Don't change more than one thing at a time when trying to find out where errors are :oops:
Lesson #2: Write down the changes you make or make some attempt to remember them :lol:

:( I'll try doing the change in slab.c myself, see if does the same thing.

Edit: No change, but that doesn't prove much since I wasn't getting the messages beforehand.

@Reedeman

I said *APIC* not ACPI. Two different things...

@Wedge_

Those warning with nvidia is fault of nvidia. The don't appear if you turn this spinlock checking off in kernel config. (Dunno exact option, it is right beside frame pointers.) I once asked on lkml and they basically said ignore/tell nvidia to fix it.

I think it is due to their drivers not being compiled for 2.6 kernel.

Right, so it's OK to ignore them?

Edit: I really have to start reading right to the end of sentences :P Thanks for the information.

What problems are you still having? According to PrakashKC, you can ignore the messages starting with might_sleep, and the vt.c messages can be removed by applying the patch I posted.

for all people getting weird oops/sigfaults it is module-init-tool's fault, if you're using the 3.0_pre* downgrade to 0.9.15_pre14.
i found out this after recompiling the kernel 5 times....

peace

Well since I never was using 3.0 pre, I don't think that's it :) but rather this instead (least here)

My original thought is about Rusty.

The `check for truncated module' patch is clearly triggering when it should
not be. It then incorrectly returns "success" from load_module() even
though load_module() failed.

A `patch -R' of

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.1/2.6.1-mm1/broken-out/check-for-truncated-modules.patch

should fix it up.

For what it's worth reversing ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.1/2.6.1-mm1/broken-out/check-for-truncated-modules.patch has allowed me to run 2.6.1-mm1 without any more problems.

Unfortunately I can't say if Love1 is stable. (Stupid me, it didn't compile cleanly after reversing Reiser4 so I went ahead and tried it with the Reiser4 sources installed but Reiser4 unselected, currently restoring two reiser 3.6 partition that fsck won't recover.).

amd64 takes a specialized patchset. :( Andi Keen mantains the patchset and I believe you can find it (or at least a link to it) over at http://www.x86-64.org/

2.6.1-rc2-mm1 worked without adding any patches, 2.6.1-mm1 fails when linking. AFAIK x86_64 patches are included in Andrew's patchset

Andrew syncs to Andi's patchset periodically (I'd thought I'd seen a note that it was broken last patch but don't have time to track it). Last bug report I saw asked folks to test against Andi's patches (since that it the "official" x86_64 tree). I haven't seen any bug reports on linux-kernel for 2.6.1-mm1 referencing x86_64. Have you tried against the base mm1 patch or just the combined love1 sources?

This seems to be the only x86_64 change I've seen for 2.6.1-mm1 vs 2.6.1-rc2-mm1:

+kgdb-x86_64-support.patch
kgdb for x86_64

Think I'm going to bed rather than look at anything else in the forums :) This is the second time I've not written all that I meant to say and as a result am giving misleading information. Good luck and sorry for the confusion.

Is the 2.6.1-love1-r1.patch.bz2 already incorporated into love-sources-2.6.1-r1 or is a patch for it?
If the second... how do i use the patch?

I cannot "insmod" my webcam modul: computer freezes. With 2.6.1-rc2 i could.

I'm getting some "Calculating Dependencies failed!" Errors while booting, it's about depscan.sh and net.eth0 ... It says i need to run that script, i ran and the same again.

That makes me somehow... mad... I mean, the error.. i could ignore it. But what about the insmod? I need that modul. Really. And i don't want to have reboot my computer manually if i do an insmod.
