Linux-2.6.0

I was about to update my kernel to the new stable 2.6.0, but notice Jens has added some changes since test11. Is there any reason to suppost the test11 patch wouldn't work? I guess this is just a way of saying 'Can we have a 2.6.0 patch please Peter?' -- Richard A Downing FBCS http://www.freewebs.com/109bean/ Anyone sending unwanted advertising e-mail to this address will be charged $25 for network traffic and computing time.

optimum power calibration and DriveReady SeekComplete Errors
by Alimin Bijosono Oei 01 Oct '04

Hi guys, I recently upgraded to kernel 2.6.8.1, applied the latest patch packet-2.6.8-2 and also patched udftools. Now I can't use the cdrw drive to format a disc or write any files to a udf-formatted disc. I can mount the disc and still see the files in it. I have tried on many discs to see if it is disc problem but i think it is not the case because none of them are working. I tried using the writer under windows to see if the drive fails but it is working just fine. Btw, this is a DVD/CDRW combo drive on a Compaq Presario laptop. Upon rebooting into linux again, I checked the dmesg message, there was this error message which caught my attention: [root@compaqlinux dev]# dmesg e Clock Driver v1.12 Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones agpgart: Detected an Intel i845 Chipset. agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 439M agpgart: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0x60000000 Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 8 ports, IRQ sharing enabled ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ttyS2 at I/O 0x3e8 (irq = 3) is a NS16550A RAMDISK driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 16384K size 1024 blocksize divert: not allocating divert_blk for non-ethernet device lo Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00alpha2 ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx ICH3M: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:1f.1 PCI: Enabling device 0000:00:1f.1 (0005 -> 0007) ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:1f.1[A] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 ICH3M: chipset revision 2 ICH3M: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later ide0: BM-DMA at 0x4440-0x4447, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0x4448-0x444f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio hda: FUJITSU MHT2060AT, ATA DISK drive Using anticipatory io scheduler ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 hdc: DW-28E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 ide2: I/O resource 0x3EE-0x3EE not free. ide2: ports already in use, skipping probe hda: max request size: 128KiB hda: 117210240 sectors (60011 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63, UDMA(100) hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4 < hda5 > hdc: ATAPI 24X DVD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 1698kB Cache, DMA Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 ide-floppy driver 0.99.newide usbcore: registered new driver hiddev usbcore: registered new driver usbhid drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.0:USB HID core driver mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice i8042.c: Detected active multiplexing controller, rev 1.1. serio: i8042 AUX0 port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 serio: i8042 AUX1 port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 serio: i8042 AUX2 port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 serio: i8042 AUX3 port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1 Firmware: 5.8 180 degree mounted touchpad Sensor: 29 new absolute packet format Touchpad has extended capability bits -> 4 multi-buttons, i.e. besides standard buttons -> multifinger detection -> palm detection input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad on isa0060/serio4 serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1 input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0 md: md driver 0.90.0 MAX_MD_DEVS=256, MD_SB_DISKS=27 NET: Registered protocol family 2 IP: routing cache hash table of 1024 buckets, 32Kbytes TCP: Hash tables configured (established 32768 bind 9362) Initializing IPsec netlink socket NET: Registered protocol family 1 NET: Registered protocol family 17 ACPI: (supports S0 S3 S4 S5) md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE.

Problems with disks created by Roxio DirectCD
by Patrice Mandin 08 Sep '04

08 Sep '04

Hello, This is a reply to this message (I don't have the list archive to make a correct Reply-To): http://lists2.suse.com/archive/packet-writing/2004-May/0014.html I experience the same problem, and I still use 2.4 kernels. I know it worked with older kernels, so I tested them: linux-2.4.20 with udf-0.9.6: works linux-2.4.22 with udf-0.9.7: works linux-2.4.26 with udf-0.9.8-cvs: does not work (note: the 'cvs' part is what the kernel tells me when it loads the udf module). So it is clear for me that the problem appeared with updates between udf 0.9.7 and 0.9.8. I would like to test 2.4.27, but the packetcd patch is still not final, and don't apply to the 2.4.27 kernels without errors: http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/patches/packet/2.4/packet-2.4.27-rc2.pat… So will the packetcd driver for 2.4 kernels be updated ? Do latest versions of udf fs driver works with Roxio-formatted discs ? -- Patrice Mandin WWW: http://membres.lycos.fr/pmandin/ Programmeur Linux, Atari Spécialité: Développement, jeux

pktcdvd and udev
by Dirk Heinrichs 07 Sep '04

07 Sep '04

Hi, I've setup packet writing on kernel 2.6.8.1 on an udev enabled system, using packet-2.6.8-2.patch. It works so far, but after loading the pktcdvd module I first get a _character_ device /dev/pktcdvd with major:minor 10:62. This confuses pktsetup. However, if I remove this device file and create a directory /dev/pktcdvd, everything works fine. Don't know if this is pktcdvd or a udev issue, though. Any hints? Bye...

terrible performance with "sync" mount option (needed for subfs)
by Frank Steiner 06 Sep '04

06 Sep '04

Hi, my system is running SuSE 9.0, using kernel 2.6.8.1 with the packet writing patches from http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/patches/packet/2.6/ as well as the bugfix patches from the LKML from the thread "Packet writing problems" (August 16th). I also applied the udftools patch for 1.0.0b3. I setup the drive with pktsetup and mounted it with "mount -t udf -o rw,noatime /dev/pktcdvd/mycd /media/udf" and everything works fine. However, what's not working is the "sync" option. When I mount with "-o rw,noatime,sync" and start copying a 49MB file, it takes more than one hour until it's finished. With ls I can indeed monitor the copy progress is about 10kb/s. Is that a bug, or a design problem in the kernel? Note that with the "sync" option working, subfs could perfectly be used for packet writing! I tried it with "mount -t subfs -o fs=udf,rw,noatime dev/pktcdvd/mycd /media/udf" and it works great. You can even access the drive in parallel via /media/udf and /media/cdrecorder (which is setup with subfs, too). But to avoid users removing the cd before its written, the sync option is neccessary with subfs... BTW, copying a 100MB file with dd to the cd and syncing afterwards took 3:45 minutes alltogether with a 4x cd-rw. Is that an acceptable speed? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.
