<aXp> hop
<the_empty> Is the NOARP stuff confirmed to work in 2.6 kernels?
<vbhanu> Hi, I just manually compiled the 2.6.13 kernel and i ended with quite a small 1.9M kernel
<vbhanu> but it is slow
<aXp> vbhanu, right processor?
<vbhanu> i have everything working, the X network
<vbhanu> what cud be the possibility
<vbhanu> yes pentium 4
<aXp> what do you mean with slow?
<vbhanu> processor type and features ->pentium 4
<vbhanu> i mean the earlier kernel 2.6.11 which was compiled using genkernel a script which is used on gentoo is 2.8M
<vbhanu> but after i do startx it takes 30 secs for kde to start
<vbhanu> but with the new kernel it takes 40 secs
<vbhanu> and also the videos play slow
<vbhanu> mplayer says that your system is slow to play this file
<vbhanu> the same file work fine with the old kernel
<aXp> what does "hdparm -d /dev/hda" print
<aXp> agp support could be th thing
<vbhanu> using_dma = 1 (on)
<vbhanu> this is what i get
<vbhanu> yes even i think thats the reason
<vbhanu> agp
<aXp> fine
<aXp> or some DRI stuff
<vbhanu> what happens is this : in the old kernel i was loading agpgart and intel_agp
<vbhanu> modules at boot time
<vbhanu> but with the same modules file and the new kernel it says failed to load the module
<vbhanu> where can i correct this
<aXp> what exactly did u do to compile your kernel?
<vbhanu> i configured it using make menuconfig
<vbhanu> and then compiled using $make bzImage
<vbhanu> then make modules
<vbhanu> then make modules_install
<aXp> depmod -a
<vbhanu> no output
<aXp> that's ok so
<vbhanu> :)
<aXp> modprobe agpgart intel_agp
<aXp> or cd into: /lib/modules/2.6.13
<vbhanu> ****, i had booted using the old kernel--i am extremely sorry will get back in 2 mins
<vbhanu> please wait
<aXp> heheh
<vbhanu> aXp : am back
<aXp> fine!
<aXp> bootup seems to be fine and fast ;)
<vbhanu> :)
<vbhanu> so may be X is the problem
<vbhanu> :)
<vbhanu> using_dma = 0 (off)
<vbhanu> this is what i have in the new kernel
<aXp> hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda
<vbhanu> i think this is wrong somewhere coz this error does not come in the old kernel
<aXp> which error?
<vbhanu> setting using_dma to 1 (on)
<vbhanu> HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
<aXp> hehe
<vbhanu> :)
<aXp> send me your .config
<vbhanu> i am working as root
<aXp> via dcc send
<vbhanu> aXp : i am not so familiar with irc, i have no idea what dcc send it
<vbhanu> *is
<vbhanu> please explain
<aXp> ok you make a "/dcc send <file>"
<vbhanu> i am behind a proxy server this will not work probably
<aXp> give it a try
<vbhanu> yeah i gave the command and it is still in the waiting list
<aXp> do you have any other possibilty to send me the file?
<vbhanu> see the file here http://rafb.net/paste/results/Bf1iXT16.html :)
<aXp> give me the exact link of the file bcause i got an 404
<vbhanu> shall i mail you the file?
<aXp> i have it already
<aXp> give me 5 minutes
<vbhanu> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3263
<vbhanu> i have pasted it here as well
<vbhanu> sure
<aXp> sorry i think i can't help you very much! but hold on for a few more minutes
<aXp> you use the gentoo-patched sources which i don't have and therefore you have many other options
<vbhanu> oh
<vbhanu> one thing i would like to tell u is : lsmod does not give anything
<vbhanu> no modules are loaded
<aXp> but the thing with the DMA should be found in Device Drivers -> ATA**** -> and then search for DMA stuff and enable it! AGP should be in the character device section
<aXp> look into /lib/modules/2.6.13-gentoo-r3
<aXp> or do a " ls /lib/modules/2.6.13-gentoo-r3
<vbhanu> is this the one : Generic PCI bus-master DMA support
<aXp> yep
<aXp> and enble dma default or something like this
<vbhanu> yeah i enabled it
<vbhanu> and also there is an option to make it for only hard drives i enabled that as well
<aXp> hold on for a sec
<vbhanu> yeah sure
<aXp> do "vim <kernel-directory>/include/linux/libata.h"
<vbhanu> yeah
<vbhanu> i did that :)
<aXp> no tell me what u see on line 40
<aXp> .s/no/now/g
<vbhanu> BUS_PACKET = 9,
<vbhanu> this is what is there on line 140
<aXp> line 40
<vbhanu> plz tell what is that .s/no/now/g ?
<vbhanu> #undef ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI
<vbhanu> am sorry
<aXp> here u make an #ifndef instead of #undef
<aXp> in the next line the same
<vbhanu> oh
<vbhanu> so do i change the code?
<vbhanu> and the compile the same way
<aXp> jop you just became a hacker ;)
<aXp> do you know vim?
<vbhanu> yes i do
<vbhanu> :)
<aXp> :x
<vbhanu> i have to close that ifndef with an #endif where do i put that?
<aXp> and the compile your kernel with make clean make make modules make modules_install
<vbhanu> it is not compiling
<vbhanu> i di d not do a make clean
<vbhanu> it is compiling
<vbhanu> :)
<aXp> ok! good n8 and have fun! maybe we see tomorrow again! cu
<vbhanu> cu bye and thanks a ton
<aXp> one kilo is enough ;)
<vbhanu> :))
<tinghich> could we write more than 4k out to a proc entry ?
<tinghich> from kernel
<tinghich> got the answer..thanks
<ratonn> EXT3-fs error (device ide1(22,2)): ext3_readdir: directory #3801095 contains a hole at offset 471040
<ratonn> is it referring to /dev/hdc?
<prabhu> i have a query regarding vfs
<prabhu> is any one here
<prabhu> can any one tell me the difference between vfs inode and ext* inode
<usn_router> hi folx
<usn_router> good morning, can somebody tell me how to get a unique identification for a SCSI device, usable with udev? Udev syntax isn't the problem, but getting the information from the disk. Maybe somewhere in /sys, but where...?
<pauly_> usn_router you are trying to find out what kinda SCSI device you are running basically?
<usn_router> pauly_, no, I want to have an unique identifier in order to keep device names consistent in case scsi device order changes somehow (in a SAN this easily happens)
<pauly_> usn_router I undersand but cannot help ya sorry
<weissi> hi guys, is there a possibility to disable swapping for one process/process group? e.g. for a db-server (on linux 2.4/2.6)
<prabhu> i have to open a file in a module and read it. can i use read , open system calls directly
<aristocrat> if i type init 0 or 3 or 4, where is it being logged ?
<_RADIOhead> Rupert-Giles, :) morning
