Could you bring back the Boost-X patch... it was one of my favorites: http://skunk-sources.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/skunk-sources/2.6.22-rc4-skunk2.x/mingo/sched-cfs-auto-renice.patch
It applied to -r3 with out any rejects.

Also, there is a patch in LKML which resolved from journaling latencies introduced by the CFS merge which improves disk IO. Maybe you can keep an eye out for that.

boost patches caused problems (I think). Maybe I readd them in kamikaze5.

++

boost patches sucked pretty much for me since they made my GUI lag a lot during input & sound stutter

so an option to enable / disable them would be nice, for those who need it ++, for those who hate it -- :wink:

well the Boost-X patch did create a Kconfig option, and the only reason why I want it is because I can boost X durring the bootprocess...
most of the display managers wont met me prefix the Xserver command with nice... so I need the kernel to automatically do that until I can set the nice back from useland

Good news: kamikaze5 will include boost and tunables patches!! :) (with its option to enable/disable task renicing)

PD: btw, rmh3093, I haven't found the patch you said :(

Running kamikaze4, works great... Undervolted with the latest nvidia beta driver, Xorg 1.4.0, compiz on Debian sid. Works great. Great work!

I have a request:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/7/1/51

It's a b44 NIC driver patch that enables us to turn off the hardware.... yes, by default its always on, even if we don't have the module loaded.

My inpirion 700m has that kind of NIC.

btw, thanks a lot for the kernel, i was patching everything by myself, but finally I have a kernel that has everything i need. Power usage is much better in this release (according to powertop).

One question, I noticed 864Hz as an option. Is there a specific reason for this value vs 1000hz? I also tried 1500hz, but compiz got worse.

Everything *seems* to work fine, though coming back from suspend to ram gives me the following message:
Code:
ACPI Error (psloop-0136): Found unknown opcode 17 at AML address f08763c3 offset 0, ignoring [20070126]
ACPI Error (psargs-0355): [DBþÿ] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND
ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed [\_PR_.CPU1._PCT] (Node dfff23c0), AE_NOT_FOUND
ACPI Exception (processor_perflib-0170): AE_NOT_FOUND, Evaluating _PCT [20070126]


Suspending appears unharmed, though.

EDIT: This apparently happened on kamikaze3 and I never noticed.

I also have the strange issue that coming in and out of suspend causes cpufreq-info to print only one processor active (no or unknown cpufreq driver on this cpu). These appear to be related, since the ACPI error coming out of suspend concerns the processor which can no longer be seen by cpufreq.

EDIT2: acpi-cpufreq is the culprit. Without this module running, there are no errors.

I do not recommend running anything but 1000Hz.... My reasoning is that I think the 2.6 kernel is optimized for it. You can reduce the HZ but then you loose preemption granularity and loose interactivity. You can increase the HZ but then you introduce extra latency. You experienced the latency issue with compiz. Thats just my 2cents.

Sorry for probably dumb question, but I can't find software suspend 2 on my config. Should I make some additional steps to have it enable?
This is my power management options:

So, I've been running Gentoo-sources 2.6.22-r8 for over a month now without a hitch (almost everything works on my laptop). I found kamikaze-sources and decided to give them a whirl. To make a long story short: I get through the kernel boot process up to where it says "Updating /etc/modprobe.conf by hand..." and then the boot process goes no further (USUALLY). Occasionally I'll get 'lucky' and it will boot, but only occasionally.. Any ideas? Like I said, I've got Gentoo-sources 2.6.22-r8 running perfectly, so I guess that I'm not sure what is going wrong. :( Thanks in advance!

Hi,

great thanks for all the effort!
Unfortunately my intel-wireless with iwl4965 doesn't work with the latest (r4) version
of these wonderful sources. Everything was fine with the last one (r3).
I'm getting strange 500ms timeouts and can't connect.
Errormessages:
Quote:

iwl4965: Error sending REPLY_RXON: time out after 500ms.
