thx! had have to disable 4kstacks anyway for nvidia, if i recall correctly.
yes, riser4 option is there now, thx again.

@seppe.. maybe you could adjust some default settings of the kernel? maybe it saves others some headache as well.
otherwise: nice job sofar!
will report back if i get in troubles.


the new nvidia drivers work with 4kb stacks

Thank you Seppe, for this wonderful nitro. It is the fastest, most responsive kernel that I have found, and I have been pushing the load average well above 10 just to see if it'll hang or break, and so far... nothing.

warren@Tidus ~ $ uptime
03:42:25 up 14:13, 10 users, load average: 6.29, 6.04, 5.34


I've had it that way for the entire 14 hours it's been up. I believe that you have a lifetime nitro user, Seppe.

Mmmm, nitro.

EDIT: Oh yes, I forgot to say that it's stable enough on this computer that it's the only kernel in my bootmanager. Absolutely zero problems with my setup.

Any way of disabling the staircase scheduler?
Optimally, i would like a way of disabling it runtime...
will pluggable cpu schedulers be in nitro soon, as staircase makes sound lag in warcraft, but increase doom3 performance?

Well, nitro-sources aren't faster than ck- or cko-sources. Nitro doesn't have any patches that really improve performance, and all those patchsets uses ck-sources as a base.

Why? Nitro is almost the same as cko, and contains no additional speed related patches compared to cko. Both are good patchsets.

As Oktane already said, almost all desktop patchsets are based on Con Kolivas -ck patchset (as in they are just ck + some other things like fbsplash/reiser4 etc). That's where all the speed/interactivity patches come from. All praise for speed improvements should be directed there too.

Con's working on it for ck-sources; check his mailing list. I believe that he had a patch released for plugsched against 2.6.10.

The plugsched patches can be found here:
http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/plugsched/

But they are only against -mm ATM.

gonna hack em, in a way so they apply against nitro4 :)
staircase does wonders for doom3 timedemos, i saw a 50%increase with sc&latest nvidia drivers :)
plugsched should be included in the next nitro :)

nitro3 works with the same config.

download file http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/2.6/2.6.9/2.6.9-ck3/patches/2.6.9-usb-visor-fix.patch
copy it in /path_to_kernel/ and do
Code:
patch -p1 ./2.6.9-usb-visor-fix.patch -R

then rebulid kernel (make && make modules_install)

I've had it that way for the entire 14 hours it's been up. I believe that you have a lifetime nitro user, Seppe.

if an uptime of 14 hours gets you excited, i really wonder what kernels you tried sofar :lol:


Well, I've tried both vanilla and gentoo's 2.6.5, 2.6.6, 2.6.8, and 2.6.9, all were either too slow or extremely unstable, and any 2.4 kernel will break an NPTL bootstrap. the only reason it had only been 14 hours when I posted that was because it had rebooted after a power failure. stupid power failures.... I need to invest in a UPS. Normally, I can get a 30 day uptime out of my linux before stuff starts acting screwy / i have a power failure / etc.

Well, i'm using the iteraid patch, but i can surely apply it myself if no one else is using it...


I was using it too, but now I'm trying AC's new ITE8212F driver from this patch with this nitro and everything is working nice so far.

I think there's a newer version on 2.6.9-ac12 but haven't checked it out yet...

Seppe, maybe you can include this new driver in nitro.

Thanks guys!
The patch gave no chunk errors on my 2.6.9-gentoo-r6 kernel.
I put supermount on and am compiling the new kernel.
I will post if this worked.

I noticed somebody mentioning a new automount method.
I guess I missed out on that 1, can anyone post what is meant here?

thanks

Just a side note for all P4 w/ HT owners trying to run reiser4 filesystems...

The patch by Pepek, while it may bring nitro4 in line with the cko3 patchset, does NOT work. Enabling P4HT and reiser4 still lock up after it tries to do any work, such as boot.

Oh well.

I'm seeing a 20% performance loss with this kernel on a simple "hdparm -t /dev/md1" compared with my previous 2.6.8.1-love1 kernel... also CPU utilization on long/heavy disk operations is much higher.

Any ideas of why is this happening?
Have anybody seen anything like this?

Maybe you are talking about ivman? It works really good and is totally user-space. Usually I just need to...
Code:
emerge ivman && /etc/init.d/ivman start

Thanks for the tip. I might try it later because I got supermount working. Do you know if this also solves the problem with mounting usb-sticks several times, so it will appear as the same device?

I don't know what you meen with userspace, is that just plain user functionality, like I don't have to fiddle with /etc/fstab?

in that case I might change things back and try it.
:D

thanks for any info!

someone in this thread mentioned, the nvidia drivers now run fine using 4k stacks. however, if you emerge the alsa-drivers, you might notice they compile fine, but you get a kernel Oops at BootUp.
i was first wondering, but then thought about 4K stacks, disabled this, and voila - alsa drivers are OK now.
just thought i mention this in case someone else is running into the same problems ;)

OTOH, if in KDE and i set my sound to FullDuplex (ES1370 card) from kcontrol, the complete system locks up tight as a drum ;(
i dont know if this is also related to the kernel. i am investigateing this right now. if one of you mates has a workaround this would be welcomed!
system is a test system running nptl/nptlonly, and ithreads in perl. prelinked as well. just if it matters.. playing "bleeding edge", ya know ;)
