Desparately wanted: intelfb modesetting in mainline

2008-02-02 Thread Hubert Tonneau
As a probable result of Intel opening specifications, it is now fairly easy to buy a business computer that will run Linux without loosing weeks hacking to get it up and running: just go with an intel graphic board since Intel X11 driver now works just fine. Well, this apply only if you run

I gave this one a spin, and my laptop locked hard after something like one hour (everything frozen). As a result what I report is probably not very helpfull. It was the first time I was trying an RT kernel, and the stock kernel works ok on this laptop (except suspend, but one can do without it).

2.6 upgrade overall failure report

I started to move production servers to kernel 2.6 a year ago, but the strange situation is that one year later, most of them are back to 2.4 This did not append with 2.0 -> 2.2 or 2.2 -> 2.4 upgrade. Here are the factual technical reasons: Right from the beginning, the core 2.6 kernel was rock

Memory leak report

I have a set of computers that seem to have memory leak under 2.6 kernels (2.6.9 and 2.6.10) The set of machines that suffer this memory leak are the ones using ICH5 SATA and Broadcom gigabit (tigon3) on PCI Express, as opposed to other machines with IDE and Intel gigabit. Both sets of machines

MPT fusion still unable to recover properly under 2.6, ok under 2.4

2005-01-26 Thread Hubert Tonneau
I have a Dell PowerEdge 2600 than run smoothly on Linux 2.6 for 6 monthes, then three days ago, it started to have tiny problems on the SCSI. Now the bug is that 2.6.9 is unable to recover from these tiny problems (it enters an infinit loop that locks all processes attempting to access disk)
