really? I have absolutely no idea why that would happen (which probably doesnt help much ;). At least I can verify that this bug doesnt occur in the latest stable release of gkrellm in portage, which is 2.1.10. I have composite chart in my config and it works perfectly in 2.6 and 2.5 (at least everything since 2.5.67 which is the first 2.5 I remember playing with). Since I am in 2.6.0-test1 and gkrellm is working for me I'll try to see if I can reproduce this with the 2.1.14 release. works for me (TM). composite chart, hda chart, and hda6 chart all show activity properly when I fgrep my home dir. Try booting up your 2.6 kernel and re-merging, perhaps? Also, this may have to do with your config for the new kernel. You know. What's more likely to have happened is you didnt make the sysfs mountpoint, which is a new fs in 2.5/2.6 designed to take over the procfs overloading we've seen of late. mkdir /sys and reboot, sysfs isnt optional as far as i know so you dont need to recompile. ayanami root # cat /sys/block/hda/hda6/stat 30087 612012 2012 36288 If this filesystem doesnt exist for you, then you need to mkdir /sys which is indeed very important in 2.5/2.6. Good call Travis Tilley, mkdir /sys did the trick. HEADS UP to the bug-wranglers, this bug can be closed. Possibly add a comment to the end of all new emerges of the 2.6 kernels (or do it automagically) to create a /sys directory. kernel issue |
