<0> i'm facing a strange problem: there's a function in drivers/input/input.c that is never executed, but the code in it affects the whole system: if it's empty (or removed) everything works fine, but when it contains any code everything is awfully unstable
<0> a lot of segfaults and things hang
<0> what might be causing this?
<1> what is the smalest kernel with USB support . i am trying to create boot floppy with usb support with mkboot
<2> I'm having a really strange problem. Sometimes my machine seems to slow down (even under no load) and when doing a "hdparm -T /dev/hda", I get:
<2> Timing cached reads: 96 MB in 2.05 seconds = 46.93 MB/sec
<2> which is about 10x slower than the normal value.
<0> rambo3: i would guess around 800kB
<1> and that would be version?
<3> Hello, are there any tweaks that can be used on 2.6 series kernels to increase packet/sec rate ?
<4> omi: you realise the kernel handles low level things like mtu/mru right?
<3> ok, what I was thinking of is there are some tweaks that can be done to the timing when packets are sent out
<3> or low level tweaks that would prioritize network IO over disk io for example
<4> omi: there are lotsof things you can do via many differing queueing methods, but these are more too do with slowing down traffic in order too provide decent throughput
<3> for now I just want to max out packets rate, I'm aware of QoS
<4> like traffic lights depending on the packet content
<4> for what purpose?
<3> experimentation
<4> too kill your hardware or too kill suymone elses hardware :)
<4> ok theres a whole section devoted too network testing in the kernel
<4> with a big dangerous label attached too it
<3> SWEET!
<3> I've got hardware to spare
<4> hehe lucky you, send me some :)
<3> I have low end boxes
<3> I'm not sure they are worth shipping
<4> hehe
<4> thats what I tell araujo bout the toshy notebooks I get
<3> hehe
<3> I'd take micro atx boards though regardless how bad it is :D
<4> theres usually good reasin ppl send them too landfill
<3> 5 routers in a small desktops is nice regardless :D
<4> although sometimes I jag a decent one like a PIII which despite being a painful PoS I've managed too get battery working again with a paperclip& it too bootup by jamming its caps lock key betweeen ram & cover
<4> still crashes occ***ionally due too overheating cpu though :(
<3> hehe
<4> downloaded a 2.6 kernel too try on it,but I'mloathe too try it in case it crashes more regularly
<5> hi
<5> UDF issue in 2.6.14: I formatted a dvd+rw with mkudffs. When mounting it, it has rwxr-x--- and belongs to root:root.
<5> I can chown and chmod whatever I want, as root, as user, on the mount point, on the mounted disc, it all comes down to: can't write data as user.
<5> I noticed that there's a patch for the 2.6.15 kernel that adresses some issues with udf permissions and packet writing, but haven't quite figured if that my issue is adresses here.
<6> hi
<6> wht will happen if i take spin lock and then go to sleep
<7> Hi, I have to write my own filesystem and my design enforces me to change inode-numbers of files. Is that possible?
<8> Folks, I'm receiving a error while compiling.
<8> It is:
<8> http://pastebin.com/533673
<8> It's the current git tree from Linus
<9> I have a consistent hang in fsync() on a raid1 pair at the end of mkreiserfs. All disk accesses hang up at this point, even to unrelated partitions. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
<10> hi
<10> is anybody can help me solve some touchpad problem
<10> the only matter to get it work is disabling ACPI (acpi=off)
<10> others options or solutions i've does not work:
<10> i tried: pci=noacpi , i8042.nomux , echo -n "psmouse" > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/drvctl
<10> i disabled ACPI/PnP
<10> please help !
<10> and still no touchpad
<10> which is not a synaptics it's recognised as a standard logitech ImPS/2 mouse
<10> is anybody here ?
<11> Do you know about the huge Linux-kernel licensing error? the GPL says "This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License." and about two thirds of all files in teh kernel source tree have no notice about licensing at all. I have written to the FSF about how the kernel sorce may be used.
<11> and under "How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs" in teh GPL it says "each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found"
<12> so you say, that one cannot determine if those files can be distributed at all?
<11> mmc: exactly
<11> this is probably Torvalds fault because he doesn't seem to have read the GPL at all
<11> otherwise he would have known how to use it
<11> mmc: do you think I am right or wrong?
<12> PsySine: yes, i see the problem.
<13> I am trying to modify menuconfig on a xen kernel build so that a driver shows up. e.g. "make ARCH=xen menuconfig" doesn't show me any SCSI drivers.
<13> It looks like I should be able to configure this through Kconfig files but I don't see the difference between a pristine kernel and xen's in the arch folder.
<13> Can anyone explain or direct me to a resource for how the Kconfig's get put together for a custom kernel?
<13> Or direct me to another IRC channel?
<0> is there any mechanism in the kernel to check the memory consistency after boot?
<0> like find a checksum of the running kernel
<14> hi all
<14> I just tried to patch a 2.6-kernel driver (pre 2.6.13) to work with >=2.6.13 versions. therefore I replaced the cl***_simple_** calls with the corresponding cl***_** calls. now it compiles fine but on loading I get unknown symbols:
<14> windrvr6: Unknown symbol cl***_create
<14> windrvr6: Unknown symbol cl***_device_create
<14> windrvr6: Unknown symbol cl***_device_destroy
<14> any ideas about that?
<14> I thought it might be some linkage issues, but couldn't find anything about that...
<15> hi does anybody know if the find_first_bit etc functions take the size in bits or bytes as argument?
<14> Eisregen: sorry, no - but are you by accident familiar with the cl***_create-commands?
<15> no sry i have never written something for the scheduler
<15> or isnt that scheduler stuff?
<15> "@size: The maximum size to search (may be rounded up by BITS_PER_LONG)"
<15> i guess this implies it is bits
<14> Eisregen: no, don't thing it has anything to do with the scheduler. just registering of devices
<15> ah ok
<14> up to 2.6.12 there were cl***_simple_**-calls, but they are removed now. I patched a driver to use the new ones, but it spots unknown symbols to the new functions
<15> hmm
<16> Hi
<4> medium
<17> I'm testing kernel 2.6.16-rc1 and my ps/2 mouse stopped working
<17> Lights are on this time, but no response of it whatsoever
<4> MegaByte: sack the bugger then
<17> what does that mean?
<4> yes
<17> Do you know why this is going on?
<4> most likely user error, replace user & press any key too continue
<13> gb <--- robot
<13> gb <--- and annoying robot at that
<17> I should have known...
<17> onweald_tim: anyway... why is this going on?
<4> onweald_tim: type carefully if you desire too remain in here
<4> ahh stuff it, I was going too get you too provide information in order too ***ist yourself but if you cant be bothered then neither can I
<17> onweald_tim: hey
<14> no ideas about that cl***_create-problem?
<4> _julian: lots of ideas about cl*** creation, just none related too the linux kernel :)
<14> heh... this is making me nuts (c: - that driver really worked great with 2.6.12...
<4> _julian: impossible too make you something you already are :P
<4> mm 2.6.12 is a long way from 2.6.15.2
<4> how bout any of the kernels after 12 before 15?
<4> like 14.5
<4> why did you want too change from 2.6.12 anyway if it worked ok?
<14> gb: I am running 2.6.14 atm - but the change was from 2.6.12 to 2.6.13 - there are a whole lot of patches like mine for several drivers on the net...
<14> gb: I had to change because of the linuxtv-drivers, which do not support <2.6.13 anymore
<4> ahh ok, like I said before try something before 15.2 after 12 like 14.5
<4> not sure when it broke, chances are the author of the code is not aware of it either till you tell them :)
<4> it compiles ok??
<14> it compiles fine with my patch, without it warns about unknown functions (cl***_simple_**)
<4> ok on which kernel?
<18> gb: what about the framistat?
<4> bronze: What about it?
<18> is it turing complete?
<4> bronze: you'd have too ask Alan :)
<18> hmmm.
<4> bronze: my sentiments exactly, im too tyred too be ircing
<4> you could say I'm bicycle
<18> "tyred", your a UK bot then?
<4> bot?
<18> <13> gb <--- robot
<18> <13> gb <--- and annoying robot at
<4> bronze: don't believe everything you read, especially things typed by nicks that dont appear on the chanserv list for this channel
<18> Thats why I was turing testing you.
<18> ;-)
<4> like I said, you'd have too ask Alan
<4> I think his name is one l
<18> NP
<4> might be difficult seeing he's pushing up the daisies though I think :)
<18> So he's "complete".
<4> np complete?
<18> zehr gut.
<4> wow this caffiene kicks in quick
<4> feeling quite zleepy now
<4> as for my language, alook at my hostmask will give a hint as too why I dont type like a yank
<4> nini kiddies, any more male bovine faeces from you onweald_tim and I will add you too the autorem list
<19> hi, I'd like to crosscompile a kernel for arm on a i386. I installed the scratchbox gcc3.4-arm toolchain (put in /scratchbox) but when I do make I get arm-linux-gcc not found
<19> I tried to add it to my bash's PATH variable but when issuing make it still says arm-linux-gcc command not found
<13> gb: I just got back to my computer. Sorry about that. The "replace user" message looked like a bot I had seen before. :-)
