2.6.7-love5 aka interim

cold_flame · Posted: Sun Jul 04, 2004 1:53 pm Post subject: adsl patch

hey thanks for a great path

adsl modems using the eciadsl package have been having some troubles using kernels 2.6.7 and up, and greater success has been achieved by applying this patch

link

i don't know if it will break other things as if i try to patch manually, it says that the file has already been patch so (i assume) the line numbers are all out, but it would be a good inclusion for adsl users

thanks for a great pathcset

I just want to clarify the problem with network perforance. Are all kinds of network connections affected by the bug in this kernel or is it only ADSL connections? I connect to the web using a cable modem and I too seem to be experiencing poor speeds.

Should I apply the patch posted by evermind, or cold_flame, or both?

Thanks.

use the evermind patch, cold_flame's patch is for a specific set of adsl modem drivers that seem to have problems with kernels 2.6.7 and up.

the patch i posted is from the eciadsl package webpage

it only applies to people using not just ADSL modems, but people using that specific package. (ie not people who use rp-pppoe and other variation of ppoe.) just for eciadsl

also, i've been taking a closer look at the patch, and the file it's meant to patch, and it looks like it might be mostly applied already in some other form. i'm not sure about this as my kernel hacking skills are non-existant.

but if you experience instability, you might want to try manually doing it.

good luck

Hi,

When I enable SMP in this release, my Promise Ultra133 TX2 goes bananas and I get loads of lost interrputs and finally a dma_timer_expiry: dma status: 0x24 and Primary/Secondary Channel Reset on the connected disks, but it seems that this only happens when I compile the kernel with SMP support, and only in 2.6.7-love5; if I try 2.6.7-r3 for example everything works.

I have tried with both love-sources and redeeman-sources, same thing, and since I have Reiser4 I'm kinda stumped when it comes to trying any other 2.6.7-release since I really don't know what else to try that has Reiser4-support.

Anyone got any ideas or tips for another patchset to try out?

All works well including the bootsplash here. Thanks for this awesome patchset.

I have an ATI 8500 Radeon AIW and have compiled fb support for it (exclusively) and used the settings suggested in the initial post. I am using the love5 with patch-3. The frame buffer works fine until I exit from X (xorg). The fb is active but the screen does not clear and the lines of text have black rows of pixels across the screen. The prompt is clear and responsive, it is just the junk that does not clear. I do not have an initrd defined in grub for a bootsplash. The bootplash was not active when I ran menuconfig. Maybe I should be using the VESA fb instead? When I tried fb with VESA and love5 with patch2 my machine would dump on boot when activating the fb.

What is the patch-3 ?

Do you succeed running bootsplash from the very beginning of the boot ? (how ?)

Thanks

No one a clue about why AdvanSys SCSI drivers are GONE from this kernel, while the driver files are there :?:

I want my nice old pretty HP (true)SCSI CDRW working nicly with IVMAN!

Not only does bootsplash not work for me but neither does Win4Lin. Its back to linux-2.6.7-rc3-love2 where everything is working for now.

Hi,

I just tried 2.6.7-love5+2.6.7-love5-np-bootsplash.update, it seems that not me, but lots of other people are having the problem that compiling of lirc_i2c breaks:

Hey all,

This is strange wierd stuff. I've upgraded from vanilla to love5, and everything is working (except for supermounts, but that's another issue).

/bin/vi[m] is now acting up.

Here's the behaviour:

# echo test >> test.txt
# cat test.txt
test

# vi test.txt
" Press ? for keyboard shortcuts
" Sorted by name (.bak,~,.o,.h,.info,.swp,.obj at end of list)
"= /tmp/test/
../
test.txt
~
~
~
"" [New File] 4,1 All

---
*snips*
I get the contents of the directory in vim!

Any ideas? I don't want to have to move to emacs! :)

Cheers,

-- M.
