Con's patches are useful only on P4's with hyperthreading. He has added many hacks into sched.c which only help the P4 w/HT. The way he modified sched.c is almost unnatural.

|
|
I realize these are alpha drivers at best, but my CX88 based tuner (MSI TVAnywhere) card is absolute crap.
Attempt #1: Compiled V4l2 & the cx88 drivers as modules. Modprobed V4l2 modules in w/o problems. Modprobing cx88 returned a seg. fault & crashed my system hard. No keyboard, no mouse, no ssh from another machine.
Attempt #2: Complied V4l2 & the cx88 drivers into the kernel directly. I was able to cat /dev/video0 well enough, but TvTime just showed static & was unable to change the channel.
No sound what-so-ever, but I was expecting that based on the feedback.
Has anybody been able to get this card working at all?

I have everything working except sound on my NF7-S.
I was doing a new install, and noticed love4 came out the day before so I used it. I keep trying different things, but looking in this thread like a fool. I'm gonna try and re-compile with direct PCI access instead of both, and see what happens.

I don't have that specific card, but my cx88 based Hauppauge kinda works with love1, but only if I compile the drivers into the kernel. I can't try love4 because the driver for my nic is b0rked.
('kinda' in the above statement means I havent found a tv app yet that shows the colors right. Seems like a channel swap or something. But sound works (except for muteing) and channel change works.) |

Based on what's on that page, plus the stuff on kerneltrap, plus the fact that he's announcing it on lkml, it sure as heck looks like a general kernel to me. Sure there's stuff in there to help people with hyperthreading, but that doesn't mean it's meant exclusively for them.
/me is glad to see Con back in action, since -ck was my favorite patchset from 2.4. |

The HT support that he has added actually hurts the processors that don't support it. It's on by default, not selectable.

I have 3 different revisions of the NF7-S(1.1,1.2, & 2.0), and I can't get sound working on any of these with with this kernel patch. Even using the config that works perfectly with rc2 I can't get it working. I don't know what else to do.

How does it hurt them? What would be the effect of running this kernel on an Athlon MP?
Thanks! |
