@graysky Thanks a lot for the repo it is much appreciated. At the the risk of being cheeky though i would like to ask if its possible to get the 'generic' kernel to be built with 1000Hz enabled instead of 300Hz. Feel free to tell me to $%^£^%"!!
Again thanks for the work Graysky.

Setting 1000Hz as default is part of the patch, so I guess you could argue both ways in terms of "Vanilla package with ck patches".

How do you recommend I use this?
It's designed so that you just patch it in and use it. You shouldn't need to
do anything at all. But since people still want to know every last thing...
THESE ARE OPTIONAL FOR LOWEST LATENCY. YOU DO NOT NEED THESE!
Configure your kernel with 1000Hz, preempt ON and disable dynamic ticks.
What about other Hz, no preempt and dynamic ticks?
The reason I recommend the above settings is these will have the best possible
latencies which is by far the most important feature of a scheduler on a
desktop.

No idea if it makes any difference, although Kolivas describes 300Hz/preempt on/dynticks on as a "suitable android phone setting".


/OT: sorry for the noise on the AUR package, I should read more carefully... second post somehow happened when I tried to delete the first one.

Re: unofficial linux-ck repo with cpu optimized packages is ONLINE

Thanks again graysky; although #offtopic, I wonder which build I should choose for a Centrino Duo (T2300)... what I've heard ranges between Prescott, Pentium 4, and Core 2

Re: unofficial linux-ck repo with cpu optimized packages is ONLINE

Well your Centrino Duo is based on the Yonah microprocessor which is before the Core 2 but after the Pentium 4 so I think "Prescott" would be ok. If not just use Pentium 4.

Re: unofficial linux-ck repo with cpu optimized packages is ONLINE

@1LordAnubis - it depends on the cpu family AFAIK.  Post the output of the following command and I can narrow it down to for you:

Re: unofficial linux-ck repo with cpu optimized packages is ONLINE

After update to kernel26-ck-core2 2.6.37-2 I can't install nvidia-ck-core2. My steps: update kernel package, reboot, login, enter command 'sudo init 3', enter command 'sudo pacman -S nvidia-ck-core2'. I recieve following meassage:

ERROR: Module nvidia does not exist in /proc/modules
In order to use the new nvidia module, exit Xserver and unload it manually.

Re: unofficial linux-ck repo with cpu optimized packages is ONLINE

@unikum - that is the usual message one is presented with when the nvidia module is updated.  Just as an FYI - you do not need to reboot and then install the nvidia module.  Just do it all at once.

Manually unload the old one, then probe the new one and you should be fine.

telinit 3
rmmod nvidia
modprobe nvidia
telinit 5

Not sure what is wrong on your system.  This is what it should look like upon an upgrade:

In order to use the new nvidia module, exit Xserver and unload it manually.

Post /var/log/errors.log

Can you enter X upon a reboot?  More info is needed.

Re: unofficial linux-ck repo with cpu optimized packages is ONLINE

From AUR kernel26-ck

Updated... note that you'll need to use mkinitcpio from [testing] or else you can't install this!

x86_64: pacman -U ftp://ftp.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/linux/di … pkg.tar.xz
i686: pacman -U ftp://ftp.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/linux/di … pkg.tar.xz

but actually i cant install it cause I'm using systemd as init method (which needs a feature from linux-utils-ng-git), and when i try to install mkinitcpio, i got this error:

error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: util-linux-ng and util-linux-ng-git are in conflict (linux32)

One question graysky:
I was just wondering, I have an Athlon II X4 which is supposed to be a k10 family processor. Is there a specific option for this kind?

Or should i use K8 optimized or the generic one?

x86_64 version, btw.
hanks for all your work.

You need util-linux-git, since they changed the name from util-linux-ng.

For makepkg you can just edit the PKGBUILD yourself or put PROVIDES="util-linux-ng" in the PKGBUILD for util-linux-git I suppose.

thank you. I hadn't noticed they had changed the name. I removed util-linux-ng-git and installed util-linux-git, and then the update for mkinitcpio worked.

The generic one will work for any supported processor.  As to your specific chip, the only option supported by the kernel for AMD aside from generic x86_64 is "Opteron/Athlon64/Hammer/K8" which reads as follows, "Select this for an AMD Opteron or Athlon64 Hammer-family processor. Enables use of some extended instructions, and passes appropriate optimization flags to GCC."   If you can verify that the Athlon II X4 is one of those, I'd say go for it.  If not, I'd use generic x86_64.

@unikum - post the output of:

Re: unofficial linux-ck repo with cpu optimized packages is ONLINE

I've installed kernel26-ck-atom, but when I try to boot with this kernel - everything is ok until I try to run Xorg. I'm gettin' my Openbox desktop and I can see some tray utilities too, and there's even wallpaper (which means that cairo-compmgr composite manager started) - but system totally freezing. And I see animated mouse cursor in center of screen. Rebooting works only by hard-reset.

with init level 3 system works in text mode

@narical - i686 or x86_64?  I am running x86_64 on my atom330 just fine... does the 2.26.37-ARCH kernel work for you?

Re: unofficial linux-ck repo with cpu optimized packages is ONLINE

Can you add TuxOnIce patch to the package, please? For the noobs i think will be a great addition.

Edit: Well, after some tries Today I Learn how add a patch to kernel before compiling with makepkg.

Here is my modify PKGBUILD with TuxOnIce patch added (it can be disabled if you want, of course):

http://pastebin.com/jaBRSnsD

I just copy & paste a fragment of the the code from the kernel26-ice PKGBUILD.

Thnxs!!

I'm sure that is maybe a best option, but really i'm a noob in this of compile kernels. For strange reason i can't use compiled-by-me kernel26-pf (well, it was compiled good but when i try to use the network don't work), i think the function of module_db script in this PKGBUILD is the part that make the magic xD.

But of course, i'm going to review with more calm about it.

Thank you.

@Maki - generic packages?  Got any logs for me?

EDIT: I just installed a brand new arch to an empty partition.  Installed kernel26-ck and nvidia-ck as well as xorg and gnome.  I got into gnome with no problems... I suspect the problem is on your end.
