I'm trying to solve a problem of unusably slow KDE on my new 9.2 Pro install, http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-Dec/1198.html. It seems that my HZ setting from grub and timeslice settings from sysconfig/kernel are not taking effect. I removed 'desktop' from menu.lst so it now reads: kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 vga=0x317 selinux=0 splash=verbose resume=/dev/hda1 elevator=as showopts In sysconfig/kernel I set the timeslices as: SCHED_MINTIMESLICE="1000" SCHED_MAXTIMESLICE="30000" Yet after a couple of reboots 'sysctl -a' shows: kernel.HZ = 1000 kernel.min-timeslice = 5000 kernel.def-timeslice = 105000 How do I get my settings to stick? Also, where can I find documentation on all the options available to the kernel line in grub's menu.lst? Jason Joines =================================
