kernel 2.6.0-test11 custom compile weirdness
by RaXeT
Something I've noticed and not sure why. When compiling a custom kernel
the entire process works flawlessly except that after make install, all
the driver permissions aren't properly set. I had to do chmod 744 with
-R to get the permissions right.
Also I noticed that on arjanv's test11 that I immediately received a
kernel panic on (0,0) for kernel-2.6.0-0.test11.1.102.i686.
Currently have a very stable NON custom kernel-2.6.0-0.test11.1.100.i686
in operation grabbed from arjanv's
http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.5/RPMS.kernel/ site.
I'm thinking that somehow my sata drive is at issue. Issuing an lspci I
get the following address for the Promise RAID controller:
0000:02:04.0 RAID bus controller: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC20376 (rev
02)
Any ideas why custom kernel building creates a non functioning, kernel
panick for this kernel? I have built many custom kernels
and not sure what is causing this problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

ACL support
by Richard Houston
I have a need for acl support. I will be replacing a Novell server with
rather complex access permission.
Will there be acl support in the fedora kernel anytime soon. If not would
anyone be willing to help me out in getting the patches installed. I would
also like acl support for JFS.
I am currently using a SUSE kernel on fedora FC1 and the acls works fine
but the gnome desktop seems to be a little flake with the suse kernel.

What does REDHAT recomend for 3D video card?
by Stephan Schutter
I have got the impression that RH does not respect NVidia much because
they will not give their code away... and well... sometimes there are
issues with the RedHat kernels and nvidia (sometimes they are compiled
with a different compiler than the one that is distributed with the
system?). Soooooo.... The big question: What video card am I supposed to
use? What DOES RedHat recommend?

Aside from the fact that this way OT - this email is by far the most
hilarious yet. I'm not waging a personal attack, but come on - "If you're
not a gamer or only run 3D occasionally you may have to """settle""" for a
Radeon 8500 or 9200??? That statement is hilarious! Both these cards are
capable of 3D graphics FAR beyond what the human eye can appreciate -
unless, of course, you're one of the people that believe they can actually
_see_ Unreal @ 90+fps.

fc1_x86_64 preview on tyan thunder k8w (S2885ANRF REV .03)
by Rob Myers
hello-
thanks for getting fedora working on x86_64!
i've tried to search linux-kernel archives, archives at www.x86-64.org,
and bugzilla at redhat.com, but i haven't found all the answers i'm
looking for. is there a faq anywhere for linux on x86_64 or even for
fedora on x86_64?
my system is running fedora core 1 x86_64 preview updated to kernel
2.4.22-1.2129.nptlsmp on dual opteron 248 2.2GHz tyan thunder k8w with
4gb of ram. acpi=off is passed to the kernel as a boot parameter or
else it hangs with dma errors during or after boot.
first, i've got 4gb of ram in the machine, but cat /proc/meminfo only
reports 3.5gb free:
total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached:
Mem: 3539730432 91926528 3447803904 0 24104960 29126656
Swap: 4186656768 0 4186656768
is this a bug or am i missing something? i also tried passing mem=4G
with no success
second, AMD-8111 IDE has dma timeouts if acpi is enabled. is this a
known issue?
third, just to report my experience: (i think these are known issues)
- the onboard broadcom 5703 based gigabit does not work properly with
tg3, but broadcom 5701 based 3Com 3C996B-T does work properly with tg3.
- the onboard sil SATA controller does not work
- kernel-smp-2.6.0-0.test11.1.100.x86_64.rpm from
http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.5/RPMS.kernel does not boot, just
oopses to the console.
thanks for any help, info or pointers.
rob.
ps- dmesg attached in case that will provide any useful info.

Totally OT, but 90fps does not mean that the picture is actually smooth.
Go watch a 24 fps movie in the theatre and a 50 fps 3D game and you'll
notice that movements in the movie are much smoother, while in the game
they stutter/jump/are jerky/unnatural.
So pumping 100 fps might lower this problem, but not eliminate it.
It is like 1024x768 3D game screenshot still looks much more artificial
that a 640x480 screenshot from a movie.
High numbers are not everything.
So just because a 8500 can render 1024x768@60fps does not mean that there
is nothing to improve.
Whatever,

No, hardware raid is a struggle. Software raid is easy.
Software raid is also more flexible! You can raid partitions, instead of
whole disks.
