fine then

problems with it:
1. i2c doesnt work. complains about not having /proc/i2c, looked everywhere but I still cant find the module setting in the dir or the kernel config
2. snd-pcm-oss doesnt load automatically on startup. Ive done a quick hack of the line in init.d/alsasound but its messy and me-specific

any solutions?

heres a fix to lots of stuff not working in 2.5.67-mm4, 2.5.68, and 2.5.68-mm1, its mostly terminals and the likes not really working: compile the psuedo terminal stuff (pts) (im sure thats not what the s stands for, but its 3:15 am and i forget.) into kernel and add this line to your fstab,

Have anyone that experienced the degradation from the "interactivity" patch that got in 2.5.65 tried .68? I could only spot one possible changelog entry that could be related to perhaps fixing it.

2.5.64 and 2.5.65+ multitasking performance is like day and night for me, apparently not everyone is experiencing it but some are. Con removed the interactivity patch that he backported into his ck kernel because alot complained about heavily decreased performance.

It did work OK on my work computer, but the notion of having to wait a couple of seconds for stuff to get responsive (getting proper interactivity boost) doesn't really fit my description of being responsive.

I'm stuck on .64 until it get fixed

When I try to open a terminal I get
"Can't open pseudo-tty -- no such file or directory"And it only happened after I upgraded the kernel so I'm assuming this is the reason, I hope. Any ideas?

I added

the interactivity stuff/anticipatory scheduler is in mm-sources I believe.

Hi!

I am using 2.5.68-mm1, anyone has tried it using framebuffer?

Mine doesn't work if I append vga= to grub, the screen just stays black, but it boots fine (without FB), if I remove that bit from grub.conf.

Anyone experiencing the same problem? :roll:

Hello darktux,

I've got Framebuffer running. What does your .config file look like?
But I must say, I just got the vesafb running. I have an ATi video card and I've nerver succeded to get accelerated FB support on it, but the vesafb works perfect.

regards,

have you got the right number after vga=?

For me its vga=0x317 for a 1024x768 16bit console

I've got a little problem that I don't know how it is caused, however, it has not appeared to me before 2.5.68. Where do the new kernels make their modules? I do make bzImage && make modules, but in /lib/modules their is not created any 2.5.68-mm1 directory or such. Any ideas?

those using a yamaha pci sound card might find that they get better performance compiling the driver as a module rather than into the kernel.
