2.6.2-love1 aka "Shiny Techno Dancy Guys"

[GentooBox]

has the SCSI part of love-sources been edited since 2.6.2-rcx ?

When i bootup, it hangs at detecting my SATA harddisk, it reports this: "DMA timeout"

my hdparm hasent changed since last love-sources

[bdonlan]

bdonlan,

emerge ucl

That fixed it, thanks!

Ok, so I have experianced this problem before using a VIA-chipset motherboard with SATA. That motherboard had so many other flaws that i got it changed to a nForce anyway.

Now with the 2.6.2-love1 kernel I get interrupt lost when booting without the "ACPI=off" parameter. This does not happen with 2.6.2_rc1-love1, so my conclusion is that something broke and I have neither skill nor sanity to check it out.

If my sig does not reflect it I have an Epox 8RDA3+ with SIL3112A SATA

I also have a nForce2 motherboard with a promise SATA.
I´ll think i move back to the old love-sources untill its fixed.

@Seymour & Sindre -- this might help you as well:

Change your PCI access mode from Auto to Direct
In menuconfig: Bus Options --> PCI Access Mode

The new option MMConfig seemed to wreak havoc with my ACPI/APIC stuff -- IRQ/DMA timeouts, eth0 seeming to work fine but not, etc...

Worth a try anyway.

What's wrong with it?

EDIT: why do you need to turn ACPI off?

There has been a change in the pci access mode. MMConfig has been added and it seems to be borked for nforce mobos. Just go to the "PCI ACCESS" option and change it from "Any" to "Direct" that should work

That hasn't been the case for me on my a7n8x-dlx.

My .config can be found here.

My SATA harddisk gets timeout.

My SATA harddisk gets timeout.

Is it an added promise SATA board?

Thanks! That did the trick.

For users of Vmware....

There is a new any.any patch which sorts out the compile problem conflict with the gcc-35-exit-fix.patch

You can get the vmware patch here: ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/vmwa ... e50.tar.gz

So steel300, you won't need to back out that patch in future as long you've updated your vmware

Notes:

vmware-any-any-update50.tar.gz
Fix support for 2.6.3, which removed _exit() function from kernel.
Work around SuSE brokeness - they distribute kernel sources, but without
.config file - so vmmon/vmnet build fails with error saying that
current kernel is built without CONFIG_MODULES support. Now you'll
get a bit better diagnostics.

PS> I haven't tested this myself yet

[steel300]

For those having issues with lost interrupts on sata drives: you need to pass
"hdX=autotune" to the kernel. Do this for each drive that is losing an interrupt.

I'm experiencing 100% CPU load when playing music in Juk or any other program that routes through aRts. I'm using alsa for my sound card, a es1370. Any ideas what could be causing the problem?

[zerojay]

Nevermind, switched to threaded oss and it's working fine.

I looked at the change log and I don't see the ati igp patch or the omnibook patch. What happened to them?

It looks like they slipped under the radar this time. I'll be sure to include them in the next release.

forgive my dumb comment, but is there an official page where rober love keeps his full patches???

rml area on kernel.org had only scattered patches...

RML hates patches. His area on kernel.org are all of his patches that he has released. He hasn't released anything lately concerning his new Kernel Messaging Layer.

On a side note: these patches weren't started by Robert Love.

ok, so i got the name wrong?

i mean, that big patch that is repeatedly referred along this topic belongs to whom?? and what is the homepage where it usually is more frequently updated?

as for a site - i think you mean this

I recently found out that the nforce2 apic patches make my clock tick too fast, causing all kinds of troubles all over the place (a mouse which loses synchronization a few times per hour for example). While it's better than your computer locking up, I suggest that nforce2 owners either upgrade their BIOS (which is reputed to fix it for some motherboard manufacturers) or disable APIC.
