What's different between this and the one you put out already? Or is it the same one and if so, where'd all the posts go?
Edit: ok just saw the other board has been "deprecated" so what's the difference between this one and the previous acid release? Also, what, if any, GCC4 related things have been added. And to answer your question on the other board, I am using gcc4 for just about everything now. |

You should update your howto section - it still mentions rc4.

Excuse me for my ignorance, but i didn't read the previous acid post and I have a question: "Is acid-sources the predecessor of nitro-sources? There won't be nitro anymore?"

Ahhh thank you for the clarification. Perhaps that's why i was still confused since it still mentioned the rc4 in the howto. Downloading now.
So when do you we get to hear about your gcc4 project? |

Is this possible to include the mppe-mppc patch? maybe as an USE flag?

on a PIV (chipset i865PE), this "patchset" doesn't detect my second raptor... 
i have the same problem with 2.6.14-rc4-acid1 but not with 2.6.14-rc5-archck1 and 2.6.14-archck1...

Sure
EDIT:
Until next release, here you go:
mppe_mppc+iptables_layer7-2.6.14-acid1.patch

Hmm, strange enough... Does archck include the libata.git patch? thats the only thing i can think of....
Try reversing it , it's the one in 2.6.14-rc5-mm1 broken-out directory on kernel.org.

Nice work, but sadly I get a kernel panic with this one whereas rc4-acid1 works just fine with exactly the same .config... very strange.
You don't happen to know by any chance what could be the cause?
Anyways, thanks in advance for your time. |

A kernel panic can have many causes...
Please, include debug output with bugreports,
system specs and possibly .config -> but do not paste it here plz (pastebin ?).

Here's my config :

have you got support for the relavent file system compiled in? (not as module?)
Can you at least post part of the error?
Is it something like
VFS: cannot mount root
?
@Tiger: thanks for the patchset. Suffering a bit of a performance hit compared to nitro, but it's a bit more stable... Ah well..

Shado23: Only thing i could think of right away is your HZ value.
Please try setting it to 1000. If it helps then you might have discovered a bug with ktimers2.
Also: do you have any sophisticated hardware? (i didn't look into the drivers that much....it's soooo long )
cheers,
T

I'll try that and report back.
Concerning the hardware - nothing out of the ordinary: geforce 3,sblive,usb gamepads and logitech mouse/keyboard,3com ethernet card, dvdr drive. |

Unfortunately that didn't work.
The error is something about a NULL pointer dereference at adress 00000064. duh.
Anyways I'm going to try a vanilla kernel tomorrow an see how that goes. |

| Ok, it works with the vanilla kernel with the same .config, so I'll try reversing patches one by one later to find the culprit. |

I have 2 big problems with both acid releases and the last nitro , as well. Everything works fine on 2.6.13.2-nitro1.
1. My desktop hangs, but I don't know where to look for some debug messages. I tried to change the ktimers frequency(from 1000Hz to 100Hz), also to change the sched , but no luck.
This is my .config, if it helps
2. My net.ppp0 init script doesn't get up the tunnel, although it starts at boot time as it suppose to be. I have to restart it for everything to work.
This is my rc-status
| Code: |
Runlevel: default
acpid [ started ]
coldplug [ started ]
hotplug [ started ]
ivman [ started ]
lm_sensors [ started ]
local [ started ]
mpd [ started ]
net.eth0 [ started ]
net.ppp0 [ started ]
netmount [ started ]
smartd [ started ]
splash [ started ]
sshd2 [ started ]
syslog-ng [ started ]
vixie-cron [ started ]
xdm [ started ]

Have you tried updating your reiser4 partition already?
I had the same problem (desktop hanging after a fewminutes) after nitro-2.6.13.2 (incl. acid-2.6.14-rc4 and 2.6.14 ofcourse). I just updated my reiser4 partition to 1.0.5 and the problem went away.
BTW: Tanks Tiger, great job.
