Hello,
I'm current using linux-ck-k10 3.16.1-1 and everything is fine. If I update for 3.16.1-2 the kernel does not boot, keeps restarting after syslinux stage.
Does it happen with the ck-generic 3.16.1-2 package?

Testing... .... .. ck-generic 3.16.1-2 working fine.

Ps.: ck-k10 have a other error when uninstall:

Maybe you updated your kernel (or a few kernels in a row) and didn't reboot?
Check the output of

uname -r
pacman -Qs ^linux | grep linux

OK, so it seems there's an issue with the specific GCC architecture rather than the CK patch as a whole, which is a start.

I think that's normal because the ck-k10 headers would have been removed before the ck-k10 package, causing it to be unhappy when it runs the post-remove/install script.

My CPU architecture is dubbed 'Clarkdale', CPU family 6, model 37. Should I go with the generic build or can I take advantage of any of the other optimized builds?

*EDIT*
Nevermind, 'Nehalem' should do it as it's intended for 1st-gen i processors.

I have a question about using tp_smapi with repo-ck. I installed the following package:

tp_smapi-ck 0.41-44

Then I tried to load the tp_smapi module but it fails as follows:

~ sudo modprobe tp_smapi
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'tp_smapi': Invalid argument

With the default kernel it works without any issue.

graysky · 2014-09-21 11:42:38

The PKGBUILD for tp_smapi-ck contains some variable redirects that are complicated to me. Did it build properly? You should post to the AUR page for that package, open a thread specific to it, or email the maintainer.

orschiro · 2014-09-21 13:54:17

Did it build properly?

Thanks for pointing that out. I forgot to rebuild the package after the latest kernel update...

Will need to remember doing this regularly somehow.

pablox · 2014-09-22 02:29:02

I found a weird issue now that I'm trying this repo (and kernel specifically). Sometimes, when I ran any command, like "ls" for instance, it doesn't do anything, until I press "C-c", and then the command is executed. Taking a look at htop or top doesn't show any changes either.

This doesn't happen with any other kernel (custom, lts, pf-kernel, stock...). I found out, that if I have two terminal windows opened and I run a command, sometimes it only actually runs after running a command into another terminal.

1. I have one termite windows opened
2. Open a new terminal (it doesn't load the shell)
3. Press "enter" on the first termite window
4. The shell loads

Does this have to do with bfq or something like that? O.o

❯❯❯ uname -r
3.16.3-1-ck

msx · 2014-09-22 02:45:42

Weird
Does it happen with any terminal/console? I use Konsole + tmux + Fish and so far so good, tried to reproduce your issue on a urxvt running Bash too but so far so good.
The scheduler has nothing to do with that btw, it's related with the kernel's latency when resolving operations. And @graysky's kernel doesn't ship the BFQ scheduler http://algo.ing.unimo.it/people/paolo/disk_sched/ but the BFS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_Fuck_Scheduler

Are you sure? The Wiki page says so though:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Li … _Scheduler

msx · 2014-09-22 04:46:21

I just went ahead and skipped the wiki (graysky, you rock!), thanks for the heads up ^_^

Anyways, pablox's issue can't be related to the scheduler be it either of the two...

graysky · 2014-09-22 11:00:48

Actually, linux-ck does ship with both BFS and BFQ, but BFQ is not enabled by default; users have to specifically enable it. See the linux-ck wiki page for more.

pablox · 2014-09-22 13:00:49

ARG, I made a typo , I was asking if it has to do with BFS, not BFQ. Sorry =P.

Anyway, this happens only in the -ck repo, -lts repo works fine O.o. Any clue what could be?

No ideal; been running ck1 kernels since 2010 without seeing this.

blackout · 2014-09-30 14:29:48

installed
linux-ck-piledriver 3.16.3-1
woks fine but one thing I wonder.
set BFS, BFQ (no further testing),
I have mesa-dri-git 10.4.0_devel.65468-1 installed
but when I play games (openarena or sauerbraten(cube2)(I have no other games)) it doesn't matter if i set vsync or not the framerate is always the refreshrate.

any ideas?

ps: with the "default" linux kernel, same version the refreshrate is the maximum of the hardware with vsync off.

can anyone confirm or deny that hasswell optimized linux-ck works on haswell generation Celerons (like Celeron 2955U found in many Chromebooks) since they don't have AVX/AVX2 extensions?

@danij - I don't know offhand, but if you haven't already, see the repo-ck wiki page and inspect the output of your gcc command therein. If you believe your chip lacks instruction sets, I wouldn't recommend using the packages that depends on them. If you have two kernels installed, just try it and if you system freezes or whatever, just boot to your other kernel and recover.

danij3l · 2014-10-02 06:13:36

@graysky - will try

ty for all work (this repo, aur, sync projects ... ) you really are an asset to arch community

chaonaut · 2014-10-02 14:00:18

used ck kernels from repo for a while, but last night recompiled current one with native gcc optimizations, and built an older 3.14-ck with additional rt patch. nice work, thank you @graysky.

graysky · 2014-10-05 08:36:40

Due to the recent Arch News item, I created a corresponding nvidia-340xx-ck package set. Users of older nvidia cards mentioned in that news report will need to manually swtich from nvidia-ck ro nvidia-340xx-ck for module support.

manolomartinez · 2014-10-10 12:34:15

Let me add my vote for a westmere flavor. And I'm also not sure whether nehalem isn't just as good...

Manolo

bwmcn · 2014-10-13 02:57:24

+1 Westmere. Using Nahalem now.

I also want to give my vote in favor of Westmere

Nordic89 · 2014-10-14 17:03:12

Can I use tomoyo without issues? Does the kernel support it?

FYI

Download problems in today update, three machines upgrading linux-ck-sandybridge, linux-ck-atom and linux-ck-k10. Pacman under yaourt using wget reported corrupted file or key.

Repeating the updates eventually solved the problem.

Also two additional problems, again on separate machines... .. .

:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/qt4-4.8.6-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).

Thanks again for all your good work... .. .
