Zen Kernel Discussion/Support Thread - Part 2

[r2dtu]

FYI reiser4 with cryptocompress is broken on 2.6.32-zen1. I don't blame zen though. I think it is generally broken on 2.6.32.
The errors happen when writing to reiser4 compressed partition. Once files are written to under 2.6.32 they become broken. The reiser4 volume can't be written to (or unmounted) once you try to read a file that has been broken. It is quite annoying since fsck.reiser4 can't fix it (segfaults). The only solution I've found is to delete the broken files.

i'm getting this error:

Settle down guys, I just made the base yesterday - I said i'm ironing out problems still It's not like i released it yet.

For the reiser4 problem, definitely give me more details and i'll report it to reiser4-ml or even better if you posted it on there yourself (i took reiser4 exactly from dec. 4 mmotm)

Please try the following patch on top of 2.6.32-zen1 (zen-stable master, that's the one that's broken now right?)

This is the patch we sent to edward and he seemed to ignore it in favor of something different, but I'm not so sure so please try it over zen-stable master and report back, i'm ready to push it if it works.

Thanks

When i want to power off, sometimes, my laptop finishes all the 'init 0' stuff and prints "[Power Off]", and waits.. Until i press the power off button. Why is this happening?

[albright]

I am happy to report that with git stable zen 2.6.32 my
tuxonice problem is fixed

many thanks


(now if I could only figure out why googleearth will only
run in opengl software emulation mode ... but that is
not a zen problem)

System locked up a few hours after I started a few things before I went to sleep. The panic was partially on my screen this morning and I noted that it complained about preemption. Disabled by goign to server profile, but I still get this when I hit up sync right after booting:

Hi,
Just a small request. Currently uname -a reports the kernel version as 2.6.32zen1 . This causes the script /lib/udev/shell-compat-KV.sh to return an error (error returned is 32zen1). This script is used during the boot process when udev is started. So if you could change the kernel version number to 2.6.32-zen1 I think this problem would be resolved.

Cheers
Rahul

cp+paste from another thread where info wasn't going anywhere useful.

My experience today upon trying this shiny new kernel from git (my first zen kernel actually), rebooted and all seemed perfect until after ~15mins got a hard lock - was tarring up files so thought perhaps stress related anomaly then upon reboot 15mins into a movie and starting an emerge it went again. Gave it one more chance and same again got maybe 10mins out of it, no warnings no log just dead. Only thing I can think is I was writing to my reiser4 portage partition at the time, as per the issues noted above perhaps this has something to do with it?

Be nice to know i'm not alone and it's less likely to be my config as I sure spent my time with it and would be lost as to what my problem might be :/

I used pappy's 2.6.32-zen0 seed and changed only what I know should work for me.

Similar experiences?

Edit: lots

I installed 2.6.31-zen9 from portage using same .config as in zen8, which AFAIK was stable and this is what I got today. I restarted afs-client and I'm able to work again (2 hours so far):

2.6.32-zen0. Same problem as with 2.6.32-rc8-zen1

Boot, execute sync. I get this.
I have 4 disks.
A partition from each is combined in LVM2. Another partition from each is raid0'd with btrfs. the LVM2 grouping is formatted with btrfs.

Edit
http://pastebin.com/m5726722c <-- I was told I omited frame pointers on accident, fixed now.
http://pastebin.com/m7a8afe1 <-- my .config unless I'm missing something else I shouldn't
