2.6.12-rc2-nitro1 "bzImage strikes back"

Tiger683 · Posted: Fri Apr 15, 2005 6:04 am Post subject:

Changes going into rc2 combined with the fact, that swsusp is for rc1 only as of this moment,
I'd say we have to wait for a swsusp release for rc2, which combined with a few more requests/bugreports might trigger
a next release, unless someone can give me an exhausting debug output.

@Robin79:

Look on first post,
I added the patch against nitro right under the patchset downloads.

@Ricky:

this is strange...
Your config lacks a few things i havent seen lack at anyone else's computer,
but to fix your issue,
go to "Power management options (ACPI, APM) --->"
and mark the option [ ] Power Management support ( becomes [ * ] Power Management support )

cheers,

I notice that an option to set the variable stack size is missing. Reiser4 users wouldn't be able to use the kernel unless they can set the stack size to 8K. Or I am doing something wrong?

there are only two options: 8k and 4k.

If you do not select 4k stack, it automatically is at 8k.
if you do, you can't select reiser4 (it is a default behaviour of a reiser4 kernel).
The varstacks patch was my creation , but :
1) i don't have it handy right now
2) it is pretty stupid by design.

So yes, technically you are wrong, but it can be confsing at first look

Glad to see so much positive response...
Also, as i see my probs with vfb-tng were none other than (my system)-related,
and this has implied my decision i just made:

Tiger683 is moving to gentoo

Yeah , great news, but it also might mean, that when i start there might be quite a few hours in which i am not responsive
to any requests, however gotta sift through the gentoo handbook first.

Any suggestions about how i should do it (NPTL is a must-have, and is there any gcc4 branch?)?

Also there was a quite interesting discussion raised in the JadeX thread, which leads to the conclusion,
That Jadex will in the future be the alternative (second in the bootloader) kernel for those, who like nitro,
but need also something for professional audio, with low latencies for sound-servers like jack.

cheers,

T

NPTL is good and rather trivial to turn on in Gentoo. Just add nptl to your USE flags. I think GCC4 is in portage, but it is masked. You'll have to unmask it to use it. Expect things to break though.

Update: http://www.gentoo-portage.com/sys-devel/gcc

Heya,
Im posting from the livecd right now, god bless lxnay...

Keep in mind, if you plan to beat some uptime records with this one, nogo.. 2.6.12-rc2 has a memory leak, (
lkml message )still no fix for it, so Robin79, you should not wonder, i never have uptimes of longer than 4-5 hours, computer parts have also a limited
lifetime so i dont leave my box on without purpose....

lets wait until the fix gets to lkml, ill make a new release then really soon....

cheers,

T

Im tested last days many of combinations

I was at full JFS also. EXT3 with dir_index feature ( yeah , b-trees for ext3 , not only reiserfs has it

) is a better choice for overall IMO
