Well we finally have a 2.6.32 patch out and it is for 64bit systems. It has been tested on an Atom 330 cpu and works great. You can get the patch here:

wget http://www.linuxdna.com/dna-2.6.32.7-intel64-3.patch

wget http://www.linuxdna.com/dna-2.6.33-rc7-atom-intel64-2.patch

wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.32.7.tar.bz2

It has been tested to work with the latest version 11.1.064 and .059 compilers and kernel 2.6.32.7. earlier .32 kernels *do not* work, fyi!

Have fun :D

Is there a chance to use genkernel with ICC and that patchset?

Probably not with out a bit of hacking. I will look in to it though!

I just noticed some things in the genkernel help output which could be a clue.


genkernel help wrote:

In my case I need the initrd to be able to boot...

You should not have to use genkernel just to have initird... but why do you have to have initrd? (just out of curiosity)

btrfs as rootfs, but btrfs compiled as module so I don't have to recompile the kernel on every patch applied...

But make is quite intelligent anyway and would only recompile those modules that have changed.

FYI the patch should work with 2.6.33-rc6. Luyi used that to run benchmarks.

EDIT:

This one should be better:

with the patch it hangs all the same with make && make modules_install.
if i simply source icc, but don't apply the patch, it compiles fine.

What version ICC are you using? Also, what patch and kernel are you using? 64bit or 32bit?

icc-11.1.064. am using the 64bit patch for a 32bit core2 intel mobo. whatever, with the various intelwrappers(different flags)
or without the wrappers and the patch it still hangs. it makes me think that the patch isn't responsible for it.

It actually has not been tested for 32bit systems. That could be it. I am actually out of town right now and Luyi has not had time to test it on 32bit. You could try the 2.6.30.5 patch however which is 32bit.

yes it looks like it's the 64-bit patch on 32-bit.

Ok we'll try to get a similar 32bit patch out asap.

Still have not had a chance to try it. It could be that genkernel explicitly relies on gcc or you may simply be able to get it to work with something like:

Code:

genkernel all CC=icc HOSTCC=icc


Why not give it a shot and see what happens?

A few more questions:
What cpu are you using? What command do you use to source the compiler?
