compiling as well, it's not too often you get a new kernel to play with every few weeks!

|
|
2.6 test10 increased my glxgears scores by 50% and my
SIL3112 Hdparm by 50 % as well. I am well aware that for
some of you guys these results are not special but since I have been
trying for days to increase my performance this was really a very nice surprise.
| Code: |
localhost root # hdparm -Tt /dev/hde
/dev/hde:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 1508 MB in 2.00 seconds = 752.23 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 128 MB in 3.04 seconds = 42.17 MB/sec
|
and
| Code: |
root # glxgears
2833 frames in 5.0 seconds = 566.600 FPS
2928 frames in 5.0 seconds = 585.600 FPS
2919 frames in 5.0 seconds = 583.800 FPS
3380 frames in 5.0 seconds = 676.000 FPS
2899 frames in 5.0 seconds = 579.800 FPS
2902 frames in 5.0 seconds = 580.400 FPS
2894 frames in 5.0 seconds = 578.800 FPS
2869 frames in 5.0 seconds = 573.800 FPS
2924 frames in 5.0 seconds = 584.800 FPS

Yup this kernel is a rock. I've been playing with app-benchmarks/stress:
| Code: |
top - 00:30:07 up 1:29, 1 user, load average: 874.75, 411.90, 175.38

They've fixed the PS/2 mouse problem right? Just thought I'd ask before bothering with the compile.
I'm still using test8-mm1.  With a 21 day uptime. |

I am a bit nervous about the instability possibilities he mentions in his announcement. I hope it doesnt happen to me.  |

@nickp
Could you tell me what kind of HD you have connected to the sil3112 and which mobo you are using? I have a symsung drive conneted through a sata adapter an an abit nf7-s mobo, but for me hdparm only gives 25/mb/b, which is better than before but still way slower than 2.4.22-ac4 kernel. |

Wow nice. I think I'll try installing it after my laptop has completed it's update...
How is it on laptops compared to the 2.4?

RealTek gigabit ethernet drivers
Prism54 Wlan drivers
Broadcom gigabit ethernet driver
nForce ethernet driver
bootsplash
supermount
gentoo-dev-sources will become gentoo-sources once 2.6 is released. If the current gentoo-sources is any indication it will include patches for new hardware, extra features (bootsplash, supermount, etc), performance enhancements and pretty much every other available patch that will apply.

@sepp
What are your relevant parts in XF86COnfig? In 2.4 I set it to auto and it didn't work in2.6. But using IMPS2 (or alike) now, it works. |

the problem is that the mouse doesn't work on the console so I didn't look at XF86 at all yet. |

The 2.6 kernel rocks on laptops compared to the 2.4 (well, it rocks on desktops, and servers and just generally wipes the floor with 2.4 everywhere). The acpi support has been greatly improved and it just generally rocks.
Go 2.6!
Although I think I may wait for a mm-sources or love-sources before I give test 10 a whirl (currently on test 9 love 4)

Same here, at least until I log into KDE believe it or not, then the mouse (actually trackball) works, but the touchpad still doesn't. Oh, and my netgear fa310tx doesn't seem to work either, but then I haven't done much troubleshooting yet.
Well, that and I'm as newbie-ish as it comes to Linux, so I'm not expecting miracles yet.  |

Thx, unfortunately our configurations differ too much. Gotta find a native SATA drive to test...
BTW, can you do hdparm -d1 /dev/hde?
I know that hdeparm reports DMA is already on, but when I try to force it, it get all kinds of errors and have to push the reset button. BEWARE, you could loose data if same happens to you. |

hdparm -d1 /dev/hde works for me and dmseg reports no errors.
( it did not work with the test9-mm5 kernel)
