The only problem I'm having so far is that whenever I boot I get a message sayin "CONFIG_HOTPLUG is not set", even though it is. Hotplugging still works fine though.

Wow, this is great, nitro1 was nice n fast and stable, im not trying nitro2 with a risk, im setting the kernel cflags with my cflags
Code:
-Os -march=athlon-tbird -fomit-frame-pointer
        -pipe -frerun-cse-after-loop -frerun-loop-opt -fexpensive-optimizations
         -falign-functions=4 -mmmx -m3dnow


and so far things are going smoothly. Seems like things compile under alot less load, for example, compiling alsa (for some reason i don't like using the kernel tree alsa) used to bring me to a load of like 1.90 now with nitro2+kernelopts it seems to stay on 1.40.
I know its not wise to use extra CFLAGS, but i wanted to see how it goes.

PostPosted: Thu Oct 28, 2004 11:00 pm    Post subject: Lock-ups Reply with quote

Hello,
I've been using the nitro kernels for a while, and love it. Right now I'm still using 2.6.9-rc1-nitro4. all the times after this when I try upgrading, I get the same problem. As listed before about the preempt stuff with SMP. I disabled preempt in the kernel, and it still locks up on me... When I first rebooted, I got to where I compiled madwifi, atidrivers, and then started a recompile on the kernel to remove the preempt so I didn't get any errors. It locked up. when I recompiled it w/o preempt, it froze during boot (right before it does /etc/init.d/local.start). Does anyone have any ideas on this??? My system specs are:
P4 3.2g Extreme Edition with HT
1gig Ram
2 60gig HDDs
Radeon 9700 Pro
If I can help anymore, let me know. I don't have anything in logs due to Reiser4 not saving the files right away, so I lost the logs with all that.

Do you remember exactly what it said upon freezing? any errors?

No.. it just locks.. I remember I could switch consoles... but when I tried to login.. it did nothing... when I did a sysrc+b.. it said "SysRq: rebooting..." which i've never even seen before.. I know when I went to F12 for the current log... it had the smp_preempt with a program name and PID, if you look a few posts back they have a link to another article listing these errors, plus I think someone posted it on the first page. I've noticed this since the rc2 nito release(s).

Hmm, never had that error ;\

But i noticed something with this kernel, it may be because i used extra optimizations, but my sound now skips ahead a few seconds when using BMP.

sedorox: I've been having the same lockup problems with previous -nitros (P4 2.8Ghz). It could be a Staircase problem - Staircase has had problems with hyperthreading for a while now, but it was supposedly fixed. Hopefully I'll get around to trying this version eventually, but you might want to try disabling hyperthreading in your BIOS if possible. (I tried recompiling a kernel without SMP support, it still hung, so completely disabling hyperthreading is the only other thing I can think of.) It could also be Reiser4, unless I hear of someone getting lockups with a different FS.

No, CK uses hyperthreading himself so that is well developed. The only staircase instability ever was versions 8.2->8.B and were not hyperthreading specific. It's almost certainly something else.

KK... I'll give disabling it a try and I'll let you all know... I'll edit this post... see what happens...

[Edit]
Sure enough... disbaled hyperthreading and I was able to compile alsa-drivers without a problem (got another one.. but I know what that is.. the FB stuff mixed with the radeon drivers... anyway... not a problem).... Soo... I wonder if the other people who had this problem were also using hyper threading.....?? ANyone confirm?

Did you disable it in bios or did you disable smp in the config or smt in the config?

I still have SMP enabled in the kernel, but I disabled HT in the Bios.. haven't tried removing the SMP and keeping it on. I'll mess with that tomorrow... passed midnight (getting my Logitech Z-5500 Digital's working with spdif out in all aspects, yay). So I'll let you all know what I come up with tomorrow... but I've been up for this long compiling, recompiling, and God knows what else, without any freezing.

Well, lirc for one requires a kernel patch and the userspace tools, so it's not redundant or anything...


wrong, the 0.7pre serie can build modules with 2.6 kernel without any patch needed.:wink:
I'm currently using it with a ck kernel...

I'm not sure, but I think it goes the same way for lufs.
yeah, lufs works fine from portage, but https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67212 works better.

I am trying to compile the lirc stuff directly with this version of nitro and I get this:
Code:

  LD      drivers/char/lirc/built-in.o
  CC [M]  drivers/char/lirc/lirc_dev.o
  CC [M]  drivers/char/lirc/lirc_gpio.o
  CC [M]  drivers/char/lirc/lirc_i2c.o
drivers/char/lirc/lirc_i2c.c: In function `add_to_buf_haup':
drivers/char/lirc/lirc_i2c.c:170: error: structure has no member named `c'
make[3]: *** [drivers/char/lirc/lirc_i2c.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [drivers/char/lirc] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/char] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2


when I try to compile. Anybody see this before. Also if I try to use lirc's latest snapshot from their website to create modules, I get a segfault when I try to insmod on lirc_i2c although lirc_dev gets loaded just fine. In general should I try the lirc support in the kernel or through this external module?

patching win4lin vesafb-tng didn't work anymore.

Reemerged without win4lin patch, now working fine.
hmm... it seems the problem can be attributed to the win4lin patch.

xconfig is broken again:

Code:
  HOSTLD  scripts/kconfig/qconf
/usr/qt/3/lib/./libqt-mt.so: undefined reference to `__pthread_register_cancel@GLIBC_2.3.3'
/usr/qt/3/lib/./libqt-mt.so: undefined reference to `__pthread_unregister_cancel@GLIBC_2.3.3'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/qconf] Error 1

Patchset looks GREAT. Gonna make menuconfig, see if I can get this baby working.

No clue? I thougt that this driver is normally also in the vanilla sources?

from: http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/bttv.html

Quote:

bttv 0.9.x

This is the current, actively maintained version of the bttv driver. It supports the v4l2 API and is included in the 2.6.x kernels.


Am I blind or is the bttv driver really no in it?

I think you need to remerqe Qt, there's some libc breakage.

I've just used 2.6.9-nitro2 on a fresh install, and I am getting the same lockups with Reiser4. It seems to happen with any disk-intensive task, like compiling or copying between drives. I run an Athlon-XP, so I doubt HT is part of the problem.
