Are you using preempt with gentoo-sources-2.4.25? I copied my .config from 2.4.20 to 2.4.25 and made oldconfig. In 2.4.20 I am using preempt, so if preempt is in 2.4.25, I was using it. So to answer directly, afaik yes. I'm testing 2.4.25-r2 again to see if perhaps I built it on a bad day or something. I notice that 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/lowlatency' doesn't work anymore. Perhaps this is the cause of slowness? What happened to the lowlatency patch? A lot of patches were removed from gentoo-sources due to the MANY instability issues, and to make the kernel more maintainable. Can you tell me how I get the patches from an earlier version of 2.4.20? I understand that for many folks it was unstable, but for me it was perfect, and I want my machine to run smoothly again. I think I'm most intersted in the low latency patches. Thanks VR How well does gentoo-sources-2.4.26 work for you? There is nothing that is x86 specific, that's why I'm assigning it to kernel@g.o instead of x86-kernel@g.o x86-kernel@gentoo.org is part of metadata.xml and that's where bugs should go for this. Supposedly. If you wish to change it; please feel free to do and then bounce this bug back :-)... Please reopen bug with info requested in comment #6 Closed due to lack of info. |
