Description Ming-Wei 2005-01-11 15:18:48 UTC
latest stable for irqbalance is 0.08 which is almost one year old, please bump the version to 0.12 (http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/irqbalance/). I did that and it works

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. cp irqbalance-0.08.ebuild irqbalance-0.12.ebuild
2. ebuild irqbalance-0.12.ebuild digest
3. emerge irqbalance

Actual Results:  
emerge completes

Expected Results:  
emerge completes

new version in cvs now.

This does not work as advertised.  It emerges fine, but once I restart the machine, irqbalance does not start automatically.  I have to start it manually after I login.  I'm guessing that something has to be modified in the /sbin/rc file, but I'm not a programmer, so I have no clue on what to change.

The latest version I can use with the stock /sbin/rc file is irqbalance-0.10.  I tried them all in my local Portage overlay several months back, when I realized the versions in the Portage tree were somewhat dated.

I have just notice that too, may I ask how is that thing getting started? I can't find anything in the /etc nor in the ebuild itself

hmm it is in the /sbin/rc, I did a . /sbin/functions.sh then 

        if [ -x /sbin/irqbalance -a "$(get_KV)" -ge "$(KV_to_int '2.5.0')" ]

>                 eend $?
>         fi
 * Starting irqbalance...                                                 [ ok ]

and it starts, so it just won't start during boot

Very strange.

Maybe this should be re-opened?
