One user has run into this problem that keeps the kernel from booting (rc5-zen1 32 Bit)...has it been fixed already, or is this a weird problem?:

Am getting this error as well although the pc boots fine.

Do I need IDE support at all, if I'm planing to use new PATA stack (Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers (ATA)
)?

hello,

it's just a debug info,... harmless

Using this new kernel I cannot mount most of my dvd (It doesn't matter if it is new or old driver stack)!

Automounting fails, when I try to mount it manually I get every time same message:

What could be the problem? Should I report this to kernel developers?

EDIT: k3b gets confused too, definitely a kernel thing:

See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9370

I'm going to temporarily revert it until it gets fixed upstream.

EDIT: Ok, reverted it.

[kriko]

@eatnumber1: thanks, but.. how to revert it?

@eatnumber1: thanks, but.. how to revert it?

Not quite sure what you mean? I already reverted it in the repository, and will revert the revert once it is fixed upstream.

[kriko]

Oh, you reverted in zen-sources repo. I thought you reverted only locally for yourself
Thanks, pulling now.

Not too sure how to fix it properly, but if you enable PERFMON, the kernel will compile.

hello,

you should try a ' livecd ' , boot with ' docache ' and check your DVDs again

maybe it's not kernels fault

check for ' firmware ' update too

Works in windows. I know that Optiarc/NEC drives gives trouble under linux (at least my previous NEC and current Optiarc + NEC of my friend reports multisession DVDs as broken, so automounting stops working, btw works in windows again).

I'll upgrade firmware from 1.03 to 1.04. My drive is Optiarc AD-7170A.

EDIT: @CooSee thank you for reminding me about firmware upgrade, now it reads every DVD, seems like this drive had partially broken firmware (was working fine in win).
It is slower now when detecting dvds, but it works (knock, knock).

thanks it works

i've got an optiarc dvd drive at home, and I'm having problems with it is well. k3b would hang for like 2 minutes, because of the dvd drive, but then would work normally, or it won't unmount/eject cds/dvds properly. Hope this will get fixed soon...

genetics = more throughput over a longer period of time (tens of seconds); on some tests genetics is the fastest, and others the slowest... since it has to relearn the i/o pattern each time you are never guaranteed a certain latency or throughput. I would argue its best usage is for a predictable server pattern, or long file transfer.

so throughput is the only thing that matters to you?

actually, the genetic libs are very VERY customizable, right now I think all process experience the same genes, however the kernel now supports grouping of processes in many different ways so we might be able to assing a particular pid or group a set of genes or phenotypes, or give them different mutation rates, etc.

in other words, the genetic libs are implemented one of a million possible ways, the genetic libs are only limited to our imaginaion and programming skills

now if you think about it for a second, what do you actually do in real life on your computer that lasts shorter than a few seconds, every game you play im sure you are playing for a minute or longer, everytime you emerge --sync, everytime you emerge world....... emerging is by far the most cpu + disk intensive with gaming close behind and both of these usually last for minutes or longer, show me a real life task or multitasking situation where genetics doesnt kick ass!

if you can show situations were genetics sucks then maybe we can tweak things for the good.... benchmarks are highly missused, they are like laboratory experiments, how much real world validity do they have, and I NEVER sceen anyone average multiple trials together or use any sort of statistic

I am not trying to dismiss anyone's claims specifically, I just want people provide enough details so others can reproduce things..... try to make things more scientific

has anyone ever noticed how mingo and ck released "stressor" apps to test their scheduler changes so that everyone knew exactly what they were trying to do.

Yepp, they know their stuff. Too bad that CK left the kernel development...

i have problems with ntfs partition

Code: Select all

NTFS-fs error (device hda8): ntfs_read_block(): Failed to read from inode 0x5, attribute type 0xa0, vcn 0x0, offset 0xa00 because its location on disk could not be determined even after retrying (error code -5).
NTFS-fs error (device hda8): ntfs_read_block(): Failed to read from inode 0x5, attribute type 0xa0, vcn 0x0, offset 0xc00 because its location on disk could not be determined even after retrying (error code -5).

this error is because kernel or gcc4.3.0 ?

Could You add the "USB Hid Interval Pooling" patch, as i have Logitech MX510 mice and i would like to change that from 10 to 2
I actually use 2.6.23-kamikaze5 and i had to apply that patch manually...

Thanks!

[kriko]

@dodo1122: Try to upgrade firmware if possibe. Unfortunately Optiarc doesn't provide firmware on their page, you have to go to your service and flash it (yes, this sucks - no fun).
However here you can get firmwares for your drives:
http://liggydee.cdfreaks.com/page/en/

and here is binflash for flashing, which works perfectly under linux too:
http://binflash.cdfreaks.com/

Trick: you should use old IDE drivers and disable dma (ide=nodma) for successfull flashing (otherwise it aborts before it starts). There is no way to damage the drive (unles a power interruption occurs), in missflash it will blink and be still available for reflash.

Can you provide a link? And possibly a link to some info on the patch?

Interresting. I have a generic logitech mouse, using lomoco program I can set it to 800dpi (instead of default 400dpi), which increases precision.
Would this patch increase precision even more? What about cpu usage? Will this change polling interval only for specific device or whole usb system?
