something got really really messed up in the loop.c code, that's why loop-aes works (it makes its own loop module).

They are not kernel source patches, they are scripts to demonstrate a technique. This is something to be implemented outside of kernel space - ie in user space.

Just tried it. Still no "love". BUT, upgraded util-linux to 2.12-r4 and, guess what?
 All better.
[EDIT]
 ack! cancel that... I messed up the kernels in /boot. Even with util-linux-2.12-r4, no loopy love... will have to try mm2 sometime and see if it works there...

Does anything appear in dmesg? Do you have module unloading support in the kernel? (sorry, had to ask  ) |

How's the supermount situation that packetios reported back there? I'm thinking of upgrading, but without it working I'd rather wait... Does it really oops?
BTW, I've noticed there's now version 2.0.3b of the supermount-ng patch, but I can't see what's new because sorceforge is down for maintenance...

This is with the options "dev=/dev/cdroms/cdrom0,--,users" . Also, whenever I use bash to go /mnt/cdro<tab><tab> it freezes for a few minutes, and this is with sysctl -w dev.cdroms.autoclose=0. When the fs finally mounts and I access it, the directory appears empty (YES, there is a cd-rom in the drive ) So, yes, this is a problem. |

| i hope supermount gets fixed in the next love revision, luckily i found the bug before i changed my fstab, so i will avoid supermount until this bug gets fixed. |

Hi,
Here's a problem that had me pulling much hair with love-sources so I thought I'd share....Packet writing. I've been trying this on and off for ages but never got it working, but when having another go with love-sources I hit a new problem. It kernel ooped on me when mounting the pktcdvd device. Long story short, packet writing doesn't like any IO scheduler other then the anticipatory scheduler, dunno why I'm not an expert. Setting the scheduler for the cdrw drive to anticipatory fixed this problem. As these two features are both included in the sources, perhaps this should be highlighted as an issue? Or is this a quirk specific to my system? Anyone else tried packet writing?
BTW The problem I'd always had with my Acer 20x10x40 drive was that it couldn't read udf files properly, never mind write the things....files kept getting the ends cuts off them. Turned out the be the drives firmware, so now after umteen million attempts I appear to have packet writing working *crosses fingers*.
Cheers,
James |

Hey guys I got packet writing working!!!
Not that I did anything personally  ...just followed the instructions at [url]packet-cd.sourceforge.net[/url] and it worked fine.
Of course this was after upgrading to 2.6.1-love3. At present it only works on cdrws'...which is a pity but I am sure that will be fixed soon.
@c0bblers:
Check the forum thread for 2.6.1-rc2-love.....Wedge gave me instructions on how to set it up for love sources. I have a LITE-ON CDRW and it worked fine for me.
Lemme know...

Hi,
I have packet writing working (though haven't tested it that much), I was just relating my experiences with the io scheduler problem I ran into. I've also added the pktsetup command to local.start and local.stop and added an entry to fstab. Mounting a cdrw is now two mouse clicks away with Nautilus....nice
Cheers,
James |

@cobblers
Yeah I added it in fstab too.....was wondering how to rig pktsetup and you gave me a hint...local.start and stop. So thats what those scripts are for.. ...
But I am not sure that is the right place for them.....suppose you setup during boot and copy some files and then you want to burn some stuff (on an ordinary cd i.e. not cdrw). Then you will probably encounter some problem until you tear down the interface via "pktsetup -d".
Will experiment and let you know.
| Quote: | | Setting the scheduler for the cdrw drive to anticipatory fixed this problem. |
How the heck do you do that?? I thought there was just one scheduler and once it was set (via elevator= at boot), thats it. Can you set different schedulers for different kinds of operations?

|

Hello,
thanks for these patches. The new kernel works fine. But now I have some serious problems. And I want to know if it possible that this relates to the knew kernel.
1st. couldn't compile dc-gui and fluxbox
2nd. old version of fluxbox works, but gnome 2.4 doesn't do his job, complete systems freezes after logging in.
I appologize for the bad word constellation and hope you can help me.
Thank you,
Tiggar |

Works ok for me.....maybe its not the best way to do it.....I might fiddle around with a script of some sort if I can be bothered....

You can change the scheduler individually for each drive via sysfs thanks to Nick Piggin's runtime selectable I/O scheduler...for example, I (now) leave the default scheduler on (i.e. I don't pass anything at boot) and switch on cfq scheduling for my hard disk in local.start

Ah, that's what was doing it. Thanks, I'd run into the same problem a couple of times. I'd guess it must be something wrong with the packet-writing code rather than CFQ, but I don't know for sure. At least it's nice and easy to change the scheduler

How about hacking prism54 cvs drivers and swsusp2 (software suspending next generation) into love sources? Those patches apply cleanly.

I think the prism54 drivers are on the todo list for the next release.

I'm just double checking, but...
The next release (2.6.1-love4?) will be jumped to mm3, correct?
I only ask, because the mm3 changelog indicates a few keyboard patches/fixes for my laptop...

Hi, I have successfully compiled and booted the current love-sources. They are working great so far, but I have encountered a big problem: I can neither mount cds nor dvds. My system is keeping me telling this:
| Code: |
unable to mount: wrong filesystem type, illegal options, superblock of /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 damaged or too many filesystems mounted
|
(the above message is translated because I have set LANG to de_DE@euro)
dmesg reports the following when mount a cd in my DVD-ROM:
| Code: |
hdc: packet command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: packet command error: error=0xb0
hdc: request sense failure: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: request sense failure: error=0xb0LastFailedSense 0x0b
Unable to identify CD-ROM format.
|
so, does anyone have a clue how to fix this? I didn't have these problems with development-sources-2.6.0 and I would regret if I had to switch back
