A fast and dirty (only safe if you have a single processor system, but if you dont, you wouldnt have that error anyways) is to comment that line out.
Simply add a "//" in file arch/i386/kernel/setup.c line 919:

//set_bit(smp_processor_id(), &cpu_online_map);

The changelog has very good news regarding the slowliness

Has anyone got -mm8 to compile and test it against CFQ/AS? I haven't got around getting it done, still busy sorting out evolution-1.4 vs. ORBIt2-2.7.2...

regards,

Well, I'm using it with AS, and it feels MUCH BETTER!!

If you're using mm6/mm7 at the moment, then don't even think twice, just do the upgrade for cryin' out loud! :wink:

(yes, it's better, but far from perfection)

when I compile mm-sources-2.5.70-r8 my computer hangs right from the start

This happens for me whenever I compile a broken kernel. Fiddling around with the Makefiles for the 2.4.20 kernel has resulted in a few kernels that did that for me.

Try unmerging the mm-sources (after saving your .config file in your home directory if need be), making sure they've really gone by checking the relevant entry in /usr/src/ is no longer there, and then emerging them again. I've managed to successfully fix a couple of kernel compiles like that - also make mrproper *should* do the same thing, unless something is REALLY broken, and is a little less drastic and much quicker!

I'm nearly finished with my new installation, but there is a problem related to ALSA!
I can't install emu10k1.ebuild! The ebuild complains about the .config in /usr/src/linux and that the build can't find it, although it's there.
I also can't install alsa-tools, but I'm not sure if this problem is related to either gcc3.3 or development-sources-2.5.70!

However. Has anyone got an emu10k1 SoundCard to work with the 2.5.70 Kernel?

Thanks for the help. I did make mrproper and have been going at it step by step. I just got my network card working after disabling ACPI. So far so good..

Cool... let see what this one promises... Anyone knows the changes in the synatic mouse patch? There are two in there... I used to remove it because loading the modules with that **specific** option (I really can recall) didn't work for me... what now?

regards,

Just got -mm9 to compile and it boots fine, but the skipping in xmms ist getting even worse... -mm5 is the only one working fine wihout this skipping with both AS/CFQ... I tried with all possible output plugin in xmms, be it streaming music from the internet (shoutcast) or playing off the HD, no improvements... That's my only grieve about this kernel, apart from that everything else works fine; will be doing some heavy compilation (mozilla is always a good choice) under X Windows to see if it locks up my system.

Hmm,

I added the ALSA Support (and also support for emu10k1) in the kernel, but there are still some problems for me!
I can't install alsa-drivers because it thinks that my gcc Version doesn't match -> I checked it and I only have gcc3.3 installed.
There are quite some more problems:
sun-jdk won't install because of some problem (found thread in fourm) and arts also refuses to compile. There is not a single windowmanager that worked for me, ...

However, I found some threads in the forum about my problems and so all I can do is wait!
I talked about the emu101k (or even emu10k1-cvs) ebuíld. I needed it because I use an external amplifier in kernel2.4.20! Don't I need it with 2.5.70 anymore?

a bit OT.
i was wonder if there is a way to change scheduler in run time?

I was running with mm5 since it has been in portage. After reading this thread about improvements in mm8, I got the wise idea to update to mm8. Thats when the disaster started.

I emerged mm8 and walked away to make dinner. When I came back, not only had it emerge mm8, it had unemerge X11. Yikes.

Instead of trying to re-emerge X11, I decided to do a clean install on my second hard drive, using mm8 right from the get-go. Everything worked great until I rebooted with my new mm8 kernel. The kernel loads and starts going through device initialization, until it gets to my 2940uw. The system freezes before identifying any scsi devices (two hard drives and a cdrom).

Anybody else have problems with scsi init (specifically Adaptec 2940uw in my case) with mm8? mm5 works fine.

@darktux: Okay, that's true.
But what do I need then?
BTW: To install other applications correctly: Do I have to do an "emerge -i alsa-driver"? So KDE, ... will work correctly?
