Another fine release. Thank you for your hard efforts.

Can someone please tell me where I can find the latest Nick Piggin patches ? I am aware of http://www.kerneltrap.org/~npiggin but that doesn't seem to have any of the patches that make it into love. I'd like to do a minimal patchset for myself.

Thanks!

My bootsplash does not work.

///grub.conf/////////
title Gentoo Love7
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage_love7 root=/dev/hda3
video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1280x1024-24@75
initrd=(hd0,0)/boot/initrd-1280x1024
////////////

Is this a proper entry for the framebuffer?

Probably the problem is related to this:

well; I seem to be having some issues with my sata drives...

They're detected by the kernel, but I can't mount them. the devices don't exist.
I copied the .config from my previous installation (unpatched kernel 2.6.7), and put it in /usr/src/linux after making a new symlink to kernel-2.6.7-love7.
then I did make && make modules_install, added a few lines to my grub.conf, copied the new kernel to my /boot and rebooted.

well that's when the bad things happen

everything seems to be working, except my sata drive.

Here's what I get in my /var/log/messages:

Question:

Con Kolivas has all his interactivity work and up-to-date patches on his website.

Nick Piggin does not. His latest rev there is v30b. Just were are you guys getting the latest NP work, directly from Nick? I would really like to know, because I have taken to patching my own kernel rather than relying upon love.

I would like to know also. Also, what is the best way to test actual performance of the schedulers. Do you time file copies and program executions? Or do you just go by feel? Or is there a set of programs to bench on?

I would like to setup some graphs on the differences in performance between Nick's and Con's. Also the differences between anticipitory/cfq with these schedulers. I know I can't cover all the circumstances, but I would like to try to provide some informative info for the typical desktop user/gamer.

Thanks.

You can do some statistics of sheduler latency for example via this http://www.kerneltrap.org/~npiggin/schedlat3/sched2.c.

I think is many of CPU shcedulers to use at the moment nick`s,staircase,spa,spa staircase hybrid,ebs,hydra

the best soultion is to test all of them ,i`m going that way

greetings

@ryszardzonk how do you specify your boot line? I'm getting that blasted invalid mode error. I've checked it against the guide, but I'm not sure I'm not missing something...

boroshan

in my /etc/lilo.conf exept the usual stuff I have
video=vesafb:ywrap,vram:16,1024x768-16@85 splash=silent
initrd=/boot/initrd-1024x768

do not put vga=791 or vga=... at all as it is not nessesery

As far as the initrd itself I just copied one that was there in /usr/share/bootsplash/ after I emerged it.

I do not kow if bootsplash works at higher depth than 16bpp, so you may try that first

and goodluck
