nitro-sources-2.6.15-r2 "Freshness"

Disclaimer
This patchset is in no way affiliated with the Gentoo Foundation and so it's
use does not imply any more or less official support from the gentoo developers.
Do NOT, EVER, post bugs regarding a kernel patched to nitro-sources to
_bugs.gentoo.org_. Post your problems in this thread instead.


If you use this kernel on partitions created with reiser4progs 1.0.4 or older, or you will not be able to mount them with kernels older than 2.6.12!
for details look at this thread

What is it?
Custom kernel patchset, based upon ck-patchset from Con Kolivas and
many additional features usually requested by users.

What's in it?

IMPORTANT UPDATES AND EDITS:
** To be continued...

Howto install
Quote:

GENTOO:
1)create directory <OVERLAY_DIR>/sys-kernel/nitro-sources (substitute <OVERLAY_DIR> according to overlay path)
2) PROMPT>cd <OVERLAY_DIR>/sys-kernel/nitro-sources
3) PROMPT>wget http://www.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~uyavl/public/nitro-sources/2.6.15-nitro2/nitro-sources-2.6.15-r2.ebuild
4) PROMPT>ebuild nitro-sources-2.6.15-r2.ebuild digest
5) PROMPT>USE="symlink" emerge nitro-sources
6) PROMPT>cd /usr/src/linux
7) configure, compile and install your kernel
if in doubt about how to do it, consult the documentation in the kernel source directory

ALL OTHER DISTROS:
1) PROMPT>cd /usr/src
2) PROMPT>wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.15.tar.bz2
3) PROMPT>wget http://www.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~uyavl/public/nitro-sources/2.6.15-nitro2/patch-2.6.15-nitro2.bz2

7) PROMPT>patch -p1 -i ../patch-2.6.15-nitro2
8) configure, compile and install your kernel
if in doubt about how to do it, consult the documentation in the kernel source directory

NOTE:
for rpm based distros, try doing "make rpm" after menuconfig, although this is untested


And now, even more important part:

EBUILD
PATCH
BROKEN OUT TARBALL

MANIFEST FILE
DIGEST FILE

SHOWTIME !!!!

compiling right now. btw I have record load on -nitro1 without system stutter :

02:17:16 up 29 min, 4 users, load average: 5.58, 3.74, 1.99

This is a PIII 800Mhz mind you :)

Tiger thanks for your efforts.

Here's an LKML thread worth watching, some performance enhancing patches might come out of it :

http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/10/433

UPDATE == up and running , very solid , very performant.

Hey dude, wanted to thank you. VMWare compiles fine(tho when I _first_ ran it I had a panic...), ATI drivers work perfect, no more lockups with k3b when searching for devices... fun stuff. Love the nitro kernel, thanks for keeping it updated!! BTW, good luck this semester ;-)

Up and running here. Will stress the hell outa this new kernel to see if it locks ;) Good work, Tiger!
[EDIT] It kinda feels snappy...interesting...

[EDIT2] Devices and folders show up correctly in the "media:/" kio_slave. Mounting works correctly. I'm running HAL-0.5.5.1-r3 (not CVS).

With this kernel I am getting these log entries every 2 Seconds:

Code:

Jan 14 02:05:55 boogie ata2: command error, drv_stat 0x51 host_stat 0x0
Jan 14 02:05:55 boogie ata2: command error, drv_stat 0x51 host_stat 0x25

Jan 14 02:05:55 boogie ata2: command error, drv_stat 0x51 host_stat 0x0


Is this something to worry and how can I disable these logging?

Thanks,

Looks like this holds in your case:
Code:

   case HSM_ST_FIRST:
      /* Some pre-ATAPI-4 devices assert INTRQ
       * at this state when ready to receive CDB.
       */

      /* check device status */
      if (unlikely((status & (ATA_BUSY | ATA_DRQ)) != ATA_DRQ)) {
         /* Wrong status. Let EH handle this */
         ap->hsm_task_state = HSM_ST_ERR;
         goto fsm_start;



which then gets caught by this block in the state machine:
Code:

   case HSM_ST_ERR:
      printk(KERN_ERR "ata%u: command error, drv_stat 0x%x host_stat 0x%x\n",
             ap->id, status, host_stat);

      ap->hsm_task_state = HSM_ST_IDLE;
      qc->err_mask |= __ac_err_mask(status);
      ata_qc_complete(qc);
      break;


Looks like the error is on your device's side and it was always there, only earlier
libata didn't handle it properly (read: didn't recognize the error)

to get rid of the printk open the file /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/libata-core.c
and comment this out:
Code:

   printk(KERN_ERR "ata%u: command error, drv_stat 0x%x host_stat 0x%x\n",
             ap->id, status, host_stat);

carpman: if it works in vanilla, open /usr/src/linux/drivers/input/mouse/synaptics.c

and comment this out:
Code:

   /* Synaptics can usually stay in sync without extra help */
   psmouse->resync_time = 0;


Tell me if it then works, as it could make a potential candidate for a nitro3 patch.

Weird, it works fine with me...
Looks like /dev/input/event2 doesn't exist anymore. Try changing
Code:
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2"
to
Code:
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
or similar.
