Does your NIC uses the Tulip driver?

I've seen Conexant NICs that do that, and they tend to perform real bad with the Linux Tulip driver.

It does use the tulip driver. I went as far as to make a separate thread about this with more details in hope that someone might have a solution, but being such a strange bug I'm not optimistic.

It's almost reminding me of that one iptables port forwarding hell I had with the certain nitro-sources as you can remember since you tried to help

. But the good thing is that went away with a new release.

Still having wierd problems with rm and my reiserfs raid array. When deleting large files, I get load averages above 10, and the system is barely useable. Something with the scheduler?

Actually, the unique thing--in my case--I forgot to mention about vim is that I only get the weird write delays when editing as root.

I don't know if its my keyboard dying or aliens having taken over my computer, but when I login, the prompt starts acting all weird. It doesn't catch most of my keystrokes, and I have to type something like 2 times to get it right. Even more weird is the fact that this problem does not exist on Gnome/X...

I blame Clint Eastwood...

EDIT: for everyone using kde: if you update using kde-live, you will get rc1 now

Hi, I am an Ubuntu user, and the kernel compiled and installed fine, however, fglrx 8.19.10 does not work. It compiles, but it gives me

Code: Select all

 FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.14-nitro2/kernel/drivers/video/fglrx.ko): Operation not permitted

in dmesg i get

Code: Select all

 [4330289.684000] [fglrx:firegl_stub_register] *ERROR* Unable to the open some already present DRM kernel module!

In the 2.6.14-rc3-nitro1 their was also an error with fglrx but someone posted some code to change in one of the files, however that code is already their in 8.19.10. Any ideas on how to get it working?[/quote]

Remove any drm modules from kernel config (disable direct rendering manager and all drivers for it), i think its under drivers->character devices...

Hey, thanks so much, that worked! God knows why i didn't think of that (my idiocy may have something to do with it), seems kinda obvious now

Thanks again though.

is suspending to a file (and not to swap) relatively stable (and ready to use with this kernel) ?

Tiger683 · Post by **Tiger683** » Mon Nov 14, 2005 1:20 pm

brot: i will test it sometime today....

brot · Post by **brot** » Mon Nov 14, 2005 3:02 pm

i am bored, and so i will test it too

lets see if we come to the same results

Anyone having similar trouble as me? It seems that it's been this way since the 2.6.12-nitro5 release on my box, however its only on my reiserfs array (500gb).

Tiger683 · Post by **Tiger683** » Mon Nov 14, 2005 3:57 pm

i have a two disk raid0 with reiser4 on it, device mapper raid.

Nothing similar...sorry

EDIT: i use libata sil680 driver, so it is handled as scsi, if it's a difference to your setup....
otherwise, no idea :/

Hey Tiger, last time I forgot to ask you... Is it OK if I distribute Fedora RPMs based on your patchset? I know we're in an open community, but I thought I'd ask, anyway

tagwar · Post by **tagwar** » Mon Nov 14, 2005 10:32 pm

great kernel! only problem i have is, that when resuming from suspend to disk (swsusp2), i get a short moment of disk activity, and then nothing happens, means the system hangs...

I realy love suspending my notebook, so this is something I realy hope can be fixed.

working good on a dell 9300 laptop. Nice work man. I love the nitro series.

Tiger683 · Post by **Tiger683** » Mon Nov 14, 2005 11:31 pm

Thetargos: sure you can, next time no need to ask

tagwar: suspending to swap works just fine here,
still didn't try to custom file, so i don't really see anything to get fixed, unless we'd have any error to start with....

tagwar · Post by **tagwar** » Mon Nov 14, 2005 11:37 pm

tiger: I know it's not much information I have to offer. Can you give any hints on how to find out what the problem is?

If you read this before you go to bed, how did you fix the header problem for the centrino patch?? (diff -Nuarp or something?)

And thanks for letting me redistribute your work, man!

Edit
Nevermind

I managed to solve the issue, was very simple, actually.

The kernel is running solid, and adds some responsiveness to my system....

Excellent....

A question though... I assume that this patchset is more bleeding edge than the acid sources (acid sources being more sane), am I correct?

Keep up the awesome work.

I don't know, I've already been having some badass lockups with this kernel. Nothing I can replicate or any error messages I can dig up. Just random lockups and problems. I haven't changed anything else on the effected system. Strange things like xorg locking up while taking the entire system down with it. Or the tulip problem. I might have to actually go back to the ancient .12 nitro sources.

Hey, it's open source

btw, i couldn't restrict something that's already gpl anyways, and linux kernel certainly is
