I've only seen a "kacpid" (unkillable), managed to stop ACPI services with
init scripts but xruns are still there (a few less).

 Hi,

 I've recently compiled a vanilla 2.6.21 kernel, patched with Ingo
 Molnar's rt-8 patch, as I was unable to compile with rt-7.

 I needed it because I'm using audio applications (tests were made with
 FrugalWare, but I don't think it's a distro issue).

 Everything was allright until I changed my motherboard for an  Asrock
 4coreDual-Vsta (I formerly used a Nforce4 one), with VIA PT880 Ultra
 chipset.

 I've justed switched the hardware, as Linux is neat enough to boot
 without having to reinstall the whole OS.

 Since, I get tons of xruns when using RT applications, and the only
 solution I've found to fix it was to disable ACPI at boot time.

 Interestingly, this looks very similar to a problem I had... Could you,

I've only seen a kacpid (unkillable), managed to stop ACPI services with
init scripts but xruns are still there (a few less).

 Moreover, I get this message at boot time :
 PCI: BIOS bug: MCFG [EMAIL PROTECTED] is not E820 reserved
 PCI: not using MMCONFIG

 I've also tested this hardware setup with a UbuntoStudio kernel
 (2.6.19), and everything works flawlessy (no XRUNS, no kernel
 messages) !

 So here is my question (I'd like to understand what's happening) :
- is it a kernel (or patch) issue ?
- is it a bad chipset support in the latest kernel versions ? -
could this be related to BIOS issues only (I've tried all available
 versions without any change) ?
- should I use special settings in the .config in order to avoid
these
 problems ?

 I wasn't able to detect what causes these XRUNS, so if anyone has
 clues ...

Interestingly, this looks very similar to a problem I had... Could you, 
please, verify if acpid is running (with ACPI configured on), and if yes - 
stop it and retest for xruns?

2.6.21-rt9 problem : xruns

2007-06-29 Thread skyball000
Hi,

I've recently compiled a "vanilla" 2.6.21 kernel, patched with Ingo Molnar's
rt-8 patch, as I was unable to compile with rt-7.

I needed it because I'm using audio applications (tests were made with
FrugalWare, but I don't think it's a distro issue).

Everything was allright until I changed my motherboard for an  Asrock
4coreDual-Vsta (I formerly used a Nforce4 one), with VIA PT880 Ultra chipset.

I've justed switched the hardware, as Linux is neat enough to boot without
having to reinstall the whole OS.

Since, I get tons of xruns when using RT applications, and the only solution
I've found to "fix" it was to disable ACPI at boot time.
Moreover, I get this message at boot time :
PCI: BIOS bug: MCFG [EMAIL PROTECTED] is not E820 reserved
PCI: not using MMCONFIG

I've also tested this hardware setup with a UbuntoStudio kernel (2.6.19),
and everything works flawlessy (no XRUNS, no kernel messages) !

So here is my question (I'd like to understand what's happening) :
   - is it a kernel (or patch) issue ?
   - is it a bad chipset support in the latest kernel versions ?
   - could this be related to BIOS issues only (I've tried all available
versions without any change) ?
   - should I use special settings in the ".config" in order to avoid these
problems ?

I wasn't able to detect what causes these XRUNS, so if anyone has clues ...
