**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Nov 06 02:59:57 2010 Nov 06 12:26:15 rcn-ee, poke poke Nov 06 12:29:42 rcn-ee, any interest in spinning a kernel with some crack patches applied? :D Nov 06 14:02:16 cwillu_at_work, sure, do you have them hiding somwhere? Nov 06 14:02:31 rcn-ee, I'm interested in a 2.6.36-ck2 :) Nov 06 14:02:37 link in a sec Nov 06 14:03:13 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/ck/patches/2.6/2.6.36/2.6.36-ck2/ Nov 06 14:03:44 build with sched_bfs and hz_1000 (or whichever that one is) Nov 06 14:04:00 ah i see.. ;) yeah those would be interestint to see how they run on an omap. ;) Nov 06 14:04:06 yep :) Nov 06 14:07:32 I'd plan on doing a side-by-side test with otherwise identical configs Nov 06 14:08:11 "I plan" rather Nov 06 14:27:25 cwillu, give them a test. .;) http://rcn-ee.homeip.net:81/testing/2.6.36-ck/ Nov 06 14:29:44 that was quick Nov 06 14:32:15 it would have been faster... ;) i haven't enabled the new btrfs stuff from 2.6.37 on my system. ;) Nov 06 14:32:20 rcn-ee, thanks. I'll be at the shop this afternoon, I'll give it a try then. (Already loading them onto the board, but I've got no way of actually checking for performance from here :p) Nov 06 14:32:22 rcn-ee, heh Nov 06 14:32:44 was this omap native, or cross compiled? Nov 06 14:33:18 it'll be cool to see your results.. it was cross compiled..a full build will take awhile. ;) Nov 06 14:33:35 btrfs on small devices is much nicer in 2.6.37 now too Nov 06 14:33:59 specifically, small devices can use a single block group for both metadata and data, which saves on some annoyingness Nov 06 14:34:16 I can't remember, did lzo make it for 2.6.37? Nov 06 14:34:55 that's another big one if compression is at all interesting to you Nov 06 14:34:57 i think it did, last i tried it actually wouldn't boot.. but that might have been when it first entered.. Nov 06 14:35:10 lzo being so incredibly faster than gzip Nov 06 14:35:23 it's not a format change; you can select between gzip and lzo Nov 06 14:35:38 * cwillu checks the changelog Nov 06 14:36:03 nope, didn't make it Nov 06 14:37:39 okay, bed for a couple hours, and then ck-fueled crack-fun! Nov 07 00:48:13 rcn-ee, booting it now Nov 07 00:48:24 (only have time for a quick test, will be looking at it more tonight) Nov 07 00:49:58 rcn-ee, appears to have locked up mid-boot :p Nov 07 00:51:01 might have been network related Nov 07 00:51:08 (i.e., that lovely ks8851 driver :p) Nov 07 00:51:16 booted fine when I disconnected the network Nov 07 00:58:04 actually, that may have been my mii trouble still Nov 07 00:58:18 given that this image still has that enabled Nov 07 00:59:26 hmm, nope Nov 07 00:59:44 locked up about 30 seconds after I had a network address assigned Nov 07 01:00:06 k, resetting it and heading back out for a bit Nov 07 01:00:29 (with the network disconnected); if it's still alive when I get back, I'm going to assume that's what it is **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Nov 07 02:59:57 2010
