 |
|
Nitro2 may be blazing fast at ut2004 and Doom3 but when I'm trying to play Warcraft 3 using Cedega 4.1, the IO for the hard drive has such low priority that the sound effect end up being SEVERELY delayed.
My control of the units and such in an online game worked fine. I'll test with ck3 and report back my findings as I imagine nitro3 may use those patches as well.... |

| Code: | | Kernel panic - not syncing:VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown-bloack(3,3) |
keep getting this error with nitro2.
grub.conf is
| Code: | root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/nitro-sources root=/dev/hda3 |
it boots up but when it tries to mout root it cant. i did not check the 4kb option in the kernel. anyone have any ideas? do i need to manually patch the kernel (i thought it was patched automaticall when ebuild and emerge it).

| Tried the ck3 kernel and got the same error in Warcraft 3 along with that nifty kswapd bug of death. I'm using 1GB lowmem. libata with the Silcon Image sata driver under scsi. |

It might be nice to know what fs is on the to be mounted partition 
Did u indeed compile the modules for that fs in the kernel? |

As I read in this topic is problem with win4lin and software-suspend 2 with nitro2. I read that win4lin + nitro2 works fine, swsusp2 + nitro2 works fine too, but win4lin + swsusp2 + nitro2 doesn't compile. So I've made some patch for that problems. This patch include software_suspend-2.1.2 and win4lin. It's now work fine for me with fbsplash and vesafb-tng, but I don't use win4lin and swsusp, so I don't test that and this post is request for tests. You can download patch here : http://www.pepek.neostrada.pl/software_suspend-2.1.2-and-win4lin3-for-2.6.9-nitro2.tar.bz2 and this is archive with software_suspend directory and patch is in that directory. For patch your 2.6.9-nitro2 kernel try sth like this : | Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
patch -p1 <path_to_patch |
Cheers.  |
Dunno how u did it but thnx mate.. Gonna try this one
[edit]
Why does it do this....:
| Code: |
patching file net/sunrpc/svcsock.c
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
|
Thats not nice... stops my kernel once more from compiling

WineX based things are known to have scheduling trouble with 2.6 and even more so with staircase. Make sure wineX and your games are all run nice 0. If there's still a problem, try nice +19. |

Would I have to be root to run a game as nice 0? What would be the syntax of that?
nice 0 'cedega war3.exe' |

Maybe your's download file is corrupted. Try download again. I download this and patch is ok for me (without this "patch unexpectedly..."). If you will have this problem again, then f**k it and try compile (net/sunrpc/svcsock.c is the last patching file in my patch).
Cheers.

Hooray for b0rkage. I finally got a machine running with gentoo 2004.2 and I tried making 2.6.9-nitro2 last night.... no go. It seems like the ancient as fsck laptop that I'm using doesn't like the nitro set. The last nitro I got to run on this thing was 2.6.9-rc1-nitro1 
Also, why is vesafb-tng always broke? I can never seem to get it to work, but oh well. VesaFB eats up way too much CPU time, so I just run consoles in real mode.

You only need root privileges to get a negative nice value. Staircase is designed to run all userspace things at nice 0 or positive. Some wrappers for X, UT, cedega etc will start them -nice using special sudo privileges. The eaisest way to check is to look in the NI (nice) column when running 'top'. Check that X and cedega are 0. If they are and you're having audio troubles, try cedega at nice 19 using the syntax above. |

Random rebooting is usually a hardware problem or a kernel bug. I guess you can hope its the latter. I went back to good ole' 2.6.10 vanilla and things have been fine for me since.
