ok , new vv_e based on 2.6.10-rc2. I think is good idea to stay with on O)1 CPU Scheduler partial mm fixes/patches.

main mission objectives

:
- 2.6.10-rc2 with O)1 cpu sched + mm fixes.
- fbsplash , vesa_rrc/tng selectable via USE
- reiser4 from latest mm`s + fixes
- partial fixes/speed-up`s from mm.

Okay, I got this one compiled last night, emerging with USE="vesa_tng" and otherwise just doing a make oldconfig with my config from 2.6.10-rc1-vv_e2. I didn't need to do any patching of my own for nvidia - looks like you took care of that already. Seems to be stable and fast - nice job, again! :-)

Apt-get segaults with this kernel and then basically brings down my whole system and then requires a hard reboot.Does not happen with 2.6.9-cko3.It appears to be a bug in the reiser4 code,when I reboot into that kernel I will grab the output and post it back here.

ok- w8ing.
on my x86 - amd1.0 there are no problems with r4 (all partitions except /boot at now) .

greetings

ooooh nice kernel. i really think morton's kernel tree is a nice, but they do put too many experimental stuff in it. (i guess it's just a testground) i can see how much work you put into this with everything you have there. i couldn't even fix the hunks on vesa-tng when i tried to patch 2.6.10-rc2

my reiser4 port was a complete failure also... lol.
getting tired of ck based kernels anyways, i can't wait to give this a shot

EDIT: actually i think it was gensplash that i was trying to fix hunks on... two files were a mess, one of them being fbcon.c

EDIT2: wow i just noticed you did manage to get gensplash in here. way to go man! i praise you

nice chickaroo

I also like mm , but not with all stuff . partial mm is good solution imho

mm is good testground hehe , but many of mm patches are in vanilla now. so, why not to add a little more hehe

greetzz

LUFS was broken tho, i noticed an unknown symbol.

gonna see how well this kernel passes my Doom3 test on "ULTRA"

hmm... *scratches head* i have plenty of swap, and this never happens with the ck based kernels i've used recently. think this is something to do with dealine? or maybe the cpu schedular?

EDIT: happens everytime i try to load a new game, after abuot 3 minutes loading, my system kinda freezes for a bit and then it kills doom3.
(just for the record, i have a *relatively stable* OC'd 2.5GHz Athlon XP with 512MB dual channel ddr400 and 781MB swap) -- passes all stress tests i through at it

EDIT2: booted in 2.6.9-nitro4 right now (with ck3 staircase and cfq2) and it loads considerably faster, and no oom issues either.
i'll experiment with some of the other io schedulers in vivid if you think deadline could be causing some of this.

hm .
I don`t have experience with games , I don`t have any game on my linux box.
Nitro is ck based so have Con`s vm work , vivid in the past was based on ck also , but I decided to do O)1 cpu sched + partial mm fixes , without staircase since 2610rc.
wchich cpu scheduler is better is a long long story hehe

I prefer staircase and o)1.

I don`t have doom3

I can`t test it .Imho is quite possible that erros is in deadline side, but You can test it by switching io scheduler at runtime

We have also release based on 269 and ck with of other stuff patchlist -> https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=1767728#1767728

I think that erros can by generated by vm side...If you have time and If you will of course ,maybe reversing vm part helps.

I try to test vm side of this release ...

hmm
actually i spoke too soon. after writting that last post, i tried to switch back to my other console running doom and my screen froze lol. rebooted and fsck'd my reiser4 partitions (getting errors like always of course) and tried to load doom again. oom... must be something in the vm that isn't managing memory too well.

could be 2.6.10-rc2 or some of the mm patches, althuogh that's kind of unlikely since you only mainly included the fixes

ok , patch for vm alternative -> http://www.munet.eu.org/~fallow/vv_e1/vm_alt1.diff.bz2

this patch reversing mm`s vm fixes (mm* and vm*) , and provides Con`s

OK,the segmentation fault does not seem to be happening anymore since I booted into cko3.It now works correctly in both 2.6.10-rc2-mm2 and your kernel.And now that I remember right I did actually save the output when it happened but because of the hard lock the journal did not save it apparently and so I lost the information.I believe it is just in a bug in your kernel(or one of the patches you are using) as I don't seem to remember it happening in the 2.6.10-rc2-vanilla.Too bad I can't reproduce it now

still getting those OOM messages. it must be the 2.6.10 kernel that still has some bugs.

that 2.6.9 vivid wouldn't startx with nvidia properly, system froze. maybe i'll try it again though., i could have had something wrong

hm, nobody said that is something wrong with vivid 269 and nvidia (working for me and troll (troll doing this line of vivid) so maybe something behind Your side )

maybe it`s some bug in 2610rc2 but , I`m going to do some new release ( today or tommorow ) , so I will select patches for vm* and mm* more carefully ( maybe none vm* and mm* patch from mm tree) and add Con`s vm from CK as standard.

in addition (imo) to stay with O)1 Scheduler is a good idea

greetings

hmm, maybe the newer kernel is just more sensitive to memory intensive applications. (doom3 sucks the life out of my box lol) i stuck another stick of 256MB DDR400 and it runs beautifully now with vve1 + alternate vm. (768MB total mem now)

i'm gonna try out the original with the O)1 schedular soon
