Hi everybody! I compiled my Suse kernel with the Con Kolivas patches applied (as changed by Andreas on [1]). But the new kernel crashed when I started this command: nice find / -exec usleep 0 \; Which will result in a low priority process that does disk IO and calls sched_yield() very often. This causes my kernel to oops. However, when I take a clean 2.6.12 kernel and apply the _original_ Con Kolivas patches, everything works. Also works for the default Suse kernel. So I think that the patch must be broken, maybe it is something that "patch" couldn't find. Or maybe I just can't compile right ;) It would be really great if everyone that uses the ck patches could run the above command for a minute or two and tell me if it crashes on your system. Maybe you should close your apps before you do that! Cheers nordi [1] http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/10.0_beta2_i686_SUPER#Con_Kolivas

Yeah I have had bad kernel oopses too with the patches I did. Even sometimes straight at boot. I just am totally aware that I am no programmer and the patches I did are a crude hack. If anyone here feels more confident in doing it, I would be happy not to have to do the kernel mods myself ........ at this stage I even consider dropping them since the SUSE scheduler is pretty decent and without any programming skills it would be fairly silly to include them in anything people will run on their systems. What do you think? Andreas
