Patch
Changelog

Ok,
there's been too much delay between 69 and 70, but I was hoping to make 70 the last "Linus only" release before getting together with Andrew and figuring out how to start the "pre-2.6" series and more of a code slush.
Whatever. The end result is a pretty big patch, although a lot of it is due to fairly minor patches. But it's a _lot_ of fairly minor patches, as can be seen from the changelog (also, the acorn drivers got moved around, which always makes for big patches).

So, I see we're moving rapidly towards 2.6.*
COOL

Yup... just finished compiling 2.5.70-mm1 and it freezes X real hard after 5 mins or so... and it's repeatable... don't know what's broke... I used the same .config file as in 2.5.69-mm7. Never came to try out 2.5.69-mm[8,9]. Let see what you people get... I'm using CFQ elevator BTW, haven't tried any other scheduler... but will do so ASAP.
regards

First looks:
>Tux-framebuffer bootlogo is still gone 
>IPtables and Iproute still fail to build running this kernel.
>Furthermore, without making any change (that I'm aware of) I no longer can compile glibc. It's failing with a lot of references to /lib/modules/2.5.70.
It ends like this:

I guess you have noticed no X locking... can you please provide me with your .config file (PM me), I might habe an option set that is bigging my sytem. X freezes hard on me after about 5 mins....
BTW: What does the option pci=usepirqmask does for you?
Thanks alot and regards,

I'm also getting hard lockups after a few minutes of use with 2.5.70-mm1 (ssh'ing in also wasn't possible anymore).
Further problem: kernel oops when ntpdate is started during bootup :/
(work around by rc-update del ntpd default). |

Are you also using CFQ elevator? I haven't tried the other schedulers, but will do so as soon as I get my work done and have some free time for hacking on Linux...

Con Kolivas recommends AS instead of CFQ, even for desktops. AS is constantly updated, while CFQ seems to be more or less dead. Nowadays (according to Con) AS is just as good if not better when it comes to desktop and interactive stuff than CFQ is

Well.... What are you using on your XF86Config file, regarding to NVAgp? If you're using something other then "0", then try that on.
Another thing that comes in mind is ACPI, do you have it enabled?
The NVAgp should probably solve your problems I guess...

Didn't knew about that, I guess that's why AS is default
Going to try it on, on the next reboot

| I think your lockups in X is due to kernel panics. I get kernel-panics connected to lots of things in 2.5.70-mm1. First gdm gave one as soon as I booted, so I disabled that. I tried to emerge nvidia-kernel and got one from ldconfig. I don't remember exactly what the bug was reported to be in, but I can check that in a reboot. |

Still no-go for HiSax/isdn.
(same kstat__per_cpu problem i've had for at least 6 months now)
The maintainer is aware of the problem, as I read in a post from summer/fall 2002, but it sounded like it was a difficult one to fix. |
