I've tested today patched default x86-64 kernel from OpenSuSE 11.1 repo (2.6.27.7-9). The kernel was built from source using SRAT/NUMA patches by Kurt Garloff. Kernel w/patches works OK w/my Supermicro X8DTi mobo (w/dual Nehalem Xeon E5520). So the problem is solved. But as I wrote in my previous message here, this problem remains w/11.2 kernels (I checked default binary 2.6.31-4.1 version). Taking into account that Xeon/Nehalem platform is now popular, I beleive this problem is quite common, and may be it's reasonable to insert this patches into 11.2 kernels.

[opensuse-kernel] proc/<pid>/stat timestamp will not be altered
by Stefan Haas 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

Hi, I'm trying to readout some load values out of the /proc/<pid>/stat file. As I want to do this only when there were some values changed I do a fstat beforehand on this file to check the modification time. Unfortunatelly, this value never changed even I this file was altered (it is working systems with kernel 2.4). I've tested it on several 2.6 kernels. So, is it possible to enable the "timestamping" for procfs (again) or do you now some workaround how I can check if some values has been changed without parsing the stat-file it every time.

[opensuse-kernel] kvm broken in current factory?
by Andreas Jaeger 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Just tried to boot the current NET Media (openSUSE-NET-x86_64-Build0265- Media.iso - same result with the i586 one) on my Intel Laptop with kvm and it stops very early, last line on the console is (see also appended screenshot): CPU0: Intel QEMU Virtual CPU version 0.10.50 stepping 03 Any ideas what's wrong? Does it work for others? Btw. I had to unset MALLO_CHECK_ first, otherwise qemu would crash (I opened a bug for that already).

Re: [opensuse-kernel] Using Multicore with 2.6.30.5 OpenSuSE 11.1
by Wong 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Dear Dennis, Marcus, & Greg, Thank you very much for kind help and advises. Finally I succeed to compile my "own style" Kernel 2.6.30.5 for SuSE 11.1. I did a "hybrid" trick of .config that use my favorite setting and the CPU section I pick from OpenSuSE stock setting. It runs as I expected.

[opensuse-kernel] Using Multicore with 2.6.30.5 OpenSuSE 11.1
by Wong 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

Dear List, I want to compile kernel 2.6.30.5 in openSuSE 11.1 to be able to use multicore of Intel Q8200. Here is my options: CONFIG_SMP=y CONFIG_MCORE2=y CONFIG_NR_CPUS=4 CONFIG_SCHED_SMT=y CONFIG_SCHED_MC=y CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y **** make make modules_install make install **** But kernel seems did not recognize the setting I choose. Need advise what wrong I made. Thank you so much for your help Rgds, Wong -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] Y here, M there
by Jan Engelhardt 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

Hi, this seemingly illogical choice in Kernel:/HEAD/kernel-source-rt.src.rpm's config/*/* is puzzling, or just wrong. $ diff -dpru config/i386/{default,pae} (some happens on config/{i386,x86_64}/default) -CONFIG_X86_MSR=m -CONFIG_X86_CPUID=m +CONFIG_X86_MSR=y +CONFIG_X86_CPUID=y -CONFIG_IPV6=m +CONFIG_IPV6=y -CONFIG_LIB80211=m +CONFIG_LIB80211=y -CONFIG_ATA=m +CONFIG_ATA=y Just what is the purpose of doing that for the PAE/x64 config? It's like all but the i386-default config is horked. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] guards definitions
by Jan Engelhardt 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

The guard expression logic seems to be rather blunt, or how does one express if (i386 && (syms || !foo)) that/config if (i386 && (syms || foo)) that/other/config in guards logic? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help(a)opensuse.org
