[testing_release/period] 2.6.12-rc4-love3

fallow

this is testing version , not official release.
If everythings will be ok , it will be marked as official release.
If not , then will be cancelled .

!!! This RTP version is working OK on x86 non-smp,non-ht
!!! We dont know about SMP and HT
!!! Potential bugs can be with LLD mode on x86_64 , FullRT on x86_64 should be fine.

FOR STABLE Release use latest stable version :: 2.6.12-rc3-love1

Love-Sources 2.6.12-rc4-love3 "The Fishslapping Dance"

This is testing_period now , If will be some errors by any other patch
we can reverse it just before final release

After trying it for almost an hour here is how it turned out for me (copied and pasted because I'm lazy).

Booted fine, played ff7 on epsxe for a hour, too bad madwifi doesn't like the rtp patchs ... (Same undefined symbol as before - current cvs head & bsd)

@fallow:
if the madwifi fix from two posts up works maybe we should include it in the next release?

I would like to add that the IDE wait patch is pure evil, it violates IDE specs, and it might cause serious problems on older hardware - remember when you are enabling that you are going beyond what your hardware is specificed for so if it breaks you get to keep both pieces.

another great release! using default RT options things are running smoothly. Furthermore, my little alsa problem is solved with latest mm alsa update... so, great!

cheers fallow

mission faild :cry:

thanks fallow, with FullRT mode kernel its compiling fine. but when im booting, framebuffer fails, and when i turnoff the fb, when is 'testing NMI watchdog...' everything freeeeze. i again dont have an idea.

anybody at amd64 do this?

ps kernel.org -> rc5 is released

fallow · Posted: Wed May 25, 2005 11:28 am Post subject:

use rc3-love1 , this is stable also on x86_64 .

I personally see some mistakes in rc4 vanilla , rc3 vanilla runs more "smoothly" here.

in Low Latency Destkop-LLD mode rc3 based RTP love (rc3-love1) is better than rc4-love3 imho.
Im using rc4-love3 in fullRT and rc3-love1 in LLD now.

cheers

we'll see rc5 + RTP in near future

If need be, I have a working live cvs ebuild for madwifi-driver, with branch selection (head/bsd) & ratemodule selection (onoe/amrr/sample) via use flags, just pm me if you want it

gimpel · Posted: Wed May 25, 2005 2:22 pm Post subject:

runs very smooth here! nice!
i also use it in full preempt mode... playing around with new m-audio delta soundcard.. so latency simply owns massively in full preempt

one issue i have with _all_ -rc3 and -rc4 kernels: as soon i start X, or when i switch to a console, dunno exactly, my framebuffers get b0rked, no matter if i use vesafb-tng or don't. just some big green and pink pixels... no prob with that on =< -rc2, pretty strange... anyone else got that?

A little warning message in dmesg after loading nvidia, in full rt :

playfool · Posted: Wed May 25, 2005 7:38 pm Post subject:

well, get nvidia to agree to GPL the sourcecode and I'm sure that bug will go away - I'm also sure someone could hack around it, but that would be nasty.

Two other things in my current dmesg

NiLuJe:
this oops with FullRT or LLD mode ?

( LLD is more safe than FullRT <-> FullRT is more risky than LLD )
( recommended is LLD IMHO,FullRT becoming more and more stable day by day but isnt 100% stable yet )

cheers.

be warned, FullRT will not work with CPUFreq on amd64 at all, it will make your kernel panic at boot! At least in my experience, compiled without it though it works fine.

FullRT is very snappy, it reminds me of my BeOS days.
