For 2.6.19.*, does .config contain any CONFIG_ATA* entries?
FYI, in 2.6.19, CONFIG_SCSI_SATA* config symbols were renamed to
CONFIG_ATA*, so just using an oldconfig won't be sufficient
for SATA support.


You are 100% right, I was lazy, thanks for the gentle blame.
2.6.19.5 vanilla works perfectly, 2.6.20.1 vanilla too!

Strange error, due to a partially corrupted MBR (?):
2.6.19.5 with incorrect .config, lilo, SATA missing
reboot with old 2.6.18.7, OK
2.6.18.8 with old .config from 2.6.18.6,
lilo objects not seeing /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc,
reboot and kernel panic,
reboot with 2.6.18.7, OK

3c59x new version, help me please with the new kernels

2001-02-27 Thread Mario Vanoni

PCI 3COM 3C905B COMBO Etherlink XL 10/100Mbit BNC+RJ-45
running a LAN with 3 machines 10MB with BNC/RG-58U cable.

2.2.12 ... 2.2.19pre7aa1 no problems,

kernel with modules, /etc/modules.conf:
alias eth0 3c59x
options 3x59x options=0

kernel _without_ modules, my usual and preferred mode,
with the following little patch from Andrea
in /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/3c59x.c, original:
static int options[MAX_UNITS] = { -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1,};
always manually changed to:
static int options[MAX_UNITS];

booting message without modules:

eth0: 3Com 3c905B Cyclone 10/100/BNC at 0xa000,  00:50:04:9b:f0:b8 IRQ11
  8K byte-wide RAM 5:3 Rx:Tx split, autoselect/Autonegotiate interface.
  Media override to transceiver type 0 (10baseT)
  Enabling bus-master transmits and whole-frame receives.
(the 1st line after 00:50 ... is different on all 3 machines!)

Works since over an year perfectly.

2.2.19pre15aa1 (same effect with 2.4.2pre?):

neither telnet nor mount -t nfs work,
rebooting to 2.2.19pre7aa1, _all_ works always perfectly.

Checked with 3c59x as module, without modules,
with/without Andrea's change, rien ne va plus.

gcc-2.95.3.test3, all kernels since test1 compiled with in
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/Makefile:
ifdef CONFIG_M686
CFLAGS := ... -march=i686 ... in place of -m486
(stolen from 2.4.2pre?)

All machines PIII550, 2 UP's 512MB mem, 1 SMP Dual 1024MB.
glib-2.1.3
base old SuSE 6.4 with many updgrades via sources
*.tar.gz/*tar.bz2, never with rpm!

Not in lkml, CC if necessary.

I will do every test is needed/requested !!!

Regards and many thanks
Mario

PS Why _all_ machines swap copying 545MB, 5 files ~115MB,
   from a mounted /cdrom to /tmp?  With the newest kernels!
   AT SVR2...3.2 in over 12 years newer swapped with cp(1).

2.2.19pre9 Kernel panic aic7xxx

2001-02-09 Thread Mario Vanoni

1st correction in drivers/scsi/hosts.c (Shane Wegner),
see lkml, otherwise does not compile.

Hand written, may not be 100% correct:

Detected CD-ROM sr1 at scsi0, channel 0, id 5, lun 0
(scsi1) BRKADRINT error (0x4):
Illegal Opcode in sequencer program
(scsi1) SEQADDR=0x58
Kernel panic: aic7xxx: unrecoverable BRKADRINT

In interrupt handler - not syncing


The machine waits "ad infinitum".


Software: base SuSE 6.4, glib-2.1.3, gcc-2.95.3.test3.
Two little changes in kernel:
drivers/net/3c59x.c: static in options[MAX_UNITS];
(needed for connect eth0 RG58-U, from Andrea Arcangeli)
and
include/linux/sched.h: #define _STK_LIM (64*1024*1024)
(from SuSE sdb to increment users files max size).
Kernel compiled _without_ modules!

Hardware: SMP Dual PIII550 1024MB memory, rest see attach,
/var/log/boot.msg describes all HW in pure Linux jargon.
Kernel 2.2.19pre7aa1 running since 10-Jan-2001, no problems.

CC if needed, not in lkml

Mario

Little patch (from Andrea) in drivers/net/3c59x.c.

All perfect, compiles _AND_ works perfectly!

Patched with Andrea's 2.2.18aa1, with more loads,
latency always minor 1-2 seconds.
Impossible to reproduce 75 seconds!

2.2.18 vanilla on SMP, latency

2000-12-11 Thread Mario Vanoni

Same latencies as 2.2.16 and 2.2.17 vanilla,
over 75 seconds to wait on an other screen!
And top(1) on a serial VT510 freezes.

Machine loaded with 2 setiathome and
Doug Ledford's memtest.

ASUS P2B-DS Dual PIII550 1024MB memory,
only SCSI devices (no IDE!).

Andrea Arcangeli's ..17pre6aa2, ..18pre17aa1
and ..18pre21aa2 reduced the latency <2 secs.
