 Posted: Fri Mar 17, 2006 4:52 am Post subject: 2.6.16-rc5-no3 "Tea Time"|(-MM Based)(Splashutils |
 |
|
This release status:unstable - Reason: kernel pre-release (RC)
2.6.16_rc5-no3"Tea Time"
What is it?
No-Sources is a patchset completely based off of Andrew Mortons -mm kernel. It includes a lot of additional patches that users demand and want, and it includes some performance based patches, as well as -ck patches. It also includes a custom modified suspend2 patch to work with -mm.
-----
Splashutils Overlay
You may know that splashutils currently does not work with 2.6.16 kernels, I have created an overlay that resolved this issue.
(Place in overlay in media-gfx folder)
http://no.oldos.org/files/2.6.16-rc5-no3/splashutils-overlay-for-2.6.16.tar.bz2

SUPPORT
IRC: #no-sources (at FreeNode)
Otherwise, post in this thread
Please do not bug the gentoo devs with any problems from no-sources! cheater-conrad/joecool would much rather hear the problem 
-----
[_CPUSCHED_]
(Default = Ingosched)
| Code: | { There are 9 available cpu scheduler you can choose from , either from the kernel config or by using cpusched="nicksched" in /boot/grub/grub.conf
(assuming you are using grub) as a kernel parameter.
Available options are:
cpusched="nicksched"
cpusched="staircase"
cpusched="zaphod"
cpusched="spa_no_frills"
cpusched="spa_ws"
cpusched="spa_svr"
cpusched="spa_ebs)"
cpusched="ingosched"
cpusched="ingo_ll" (low latency)
} |
-----
NICKSCHED TIMESLICE
The nicksched timeslice is set statically in the code to 128, it is very easy to change, it can be changed by editing.
kernel/nicksched.c
Just search for 128 (only 1 entry) and change it to what you wish.

| Code: |
NOTICE: If you are looking for the reiser4 patch, reiser4 is included in the MM patchset
so there is no need for a seperate patch because this kernel is based off of -mm.

Very good reason, it is understandable atleast.
Plugsched, probally the most important and meaningful patch in the patchset, has no -rc6 version yet. Once they make a -rc6-mm1 version I will bump it up to 2.6.16-rc6
Plugsched (-mm version) is too important for me to attempt to fix on my own

@ fixing the overlay.
make sure you are using the latest splashutils "media-gfx/splashutils ~x86" in package.keywords
@ no sound
Check your kernel config, re-do alsa configuration.
@ kernel panic
Double check your Kconfig, I booted with ingo,ingo_ll,and nicksched flawless.

To be more clear, re-merge klibc as reccomended by someone else

You might want Xtables support.

Hi,
I have 2 problems with this kernel:
1. On my Laptop, if I compile usb not as a module (uhci), the kernel panics while booting.
If I compile usb as a module, the kernel panics when modprobing the module.
2. I can not emerge svgalib, rt2500 or x11-drm. All fail when the kernel modules are compiled.
Using 2.6.16-no3 |

Hi,
I was experimenting with cpuschedulers, and I can say that working with ingosched and ingo_ll on amd64 is not possible. During emerge it consumes big amounts of memeory blocking all other apps to work. It can't also release memory afters all jobs are end, f.e. uses 500 Mb od ram + 200 mb of swap after 6 packages was merged - with no X runned. So please be aware.
p.s. nickshed works great |
