unofficial linux-ck repo with cpu optimized packages is ONLINE

Thank You graysky!!

Finally, the ISP sorted out my connectivity issues and the repo is up and populated. Remember to modify your /etc/pacman.conf to reflect the name change of the repo:

[repo-ck]
Server = http://home.comcast.net/~repo-ck/$arch

Then just refresh and update:

# pacman -Syy && pacman -Syu

As usual please report only repo/packaging related problems to this thread and open a new thread for non-repo related problems.

i did nothing but only update to linux-ck (and modified grub/kexec, and reboot)

and then i found bfs module is missing.

[ 10.109246] elevator: type bfq not found
[ 10.109331] elevator: switch to bfq
[ 10.109332] failed

any ideas?

Zom · 2011-08-13 01:38:57

That's bfq. It has nothing to do with bfs.

Also, from the aur page:

Almost forgot to mention that Paolo hasn't released a BFQ for the 3.0 series yet so this package is shipping without it! I have the relevant section in the build function commented out so even if users enable it in the options, it won't build.

graysky · 2011-08-13 03:22:45

@enihcam - what zom said

Try this on your machine:

$ dmesg | grep BFS
[    0.563174] BFS CPU scheduler v0.406 by Con Kolivas.

i install linux-ck-k10 but there is no arch logo on boot up.

did you remove the logo graysky?

<headsmack> - I had it set to "n" in the PKGBUILD by mistake. I'll rebuild and reupload. Thanks for pointing this out.

LeCrayonVert · 2011-08-13 09:07:01

Thanks graysky ! Everything works fine with linux-ck-core2

I installed linux-ck-k8, but the /boot/kernel26-ck.img file is missing.

EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out.

Well I spoke too fast...there is one strange issue....timing cached reads (hdparm -T) is very slow since the upgrade :
/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 274 MB in 2.00 seconds = 136.99 MB/sec

Any idea ?

graysky · 2011-08-13 16:32:37

@Crayon - please open a new thread since this isn't related to the repo or packages.

twilight0 · 2011-08-15 22:30:22

graysky I have upgraded today and I noticed that the BFQ scheduler was not found by mkinitcpio's automatic run. I also tried modprobe -l | grep bfq with no result. I ve read your blog about the patches for the new kernel... How do I apply them? I am willing to update the wiki page as well.

graysky · 2011-08-15 23:40:30

@twilight - Paolo hasn't released a BFQ patch for version 3.0 yet. Here is the quote I posted in the AUR on 11-Aug: "Almost forgot to mention that Paolo hasn't released a BFQ for the 3.0 series yet so this package is shipping without it! I have the relevant section in the build function commented out so even if users enable it in the options, it won't build."

Hello graysky,

since tuxonice is not working so well anymore with current linux-pf and I found out about uswsusp working out of the box on my machine, I’ve switched to linux-ck and enjoy your target specific kernels.

Thank you very much for your work and enthusiasm through which we are able to profit from as users of your repo!

Best wishes,

Jakob

@graysky... Thank you very much once again, your help is really much appreciated.

graysky · 2011-08-16 20:10:10

@jakob and twilight - thanks for the kind words. Always glad to give back to the Arch community.

gee · 2011-08-18 03:32:20

Thanks for the package, I wanted to try bfs for some time again, but got tired of compiling my kernels after using R4 for years

Would there be any benefit in having a kernel made for Core iX or Core2 is roughly the same?

Thanks!

MrCode · 2011-08-18 04:39:36

Would there be any benefit in having a kernel made for Core iX or Core2 is roughly the same?

The only thing I can see that could be beneficial building with e.g. -mtune=corei7 would be SSE4.1/2 instruction usage, but I'm not sure how much this would improve performace, if at all…

Maybe I'm clueless here, but that's what I got from gcc's man page, so…

@MrCode - good questions. I posted this request for information back in feb when gcc was version 4.5.2. I just updated it asking for i7/5/3 users to post again under current 4.6.1

Triver · 2011-08-18 09:18:02

Hello, I also downloaded and installed your prebuilt kernels (linux-ck-atom) however Im not sure if I installed it correctly, he gives me an error when I try to boot:

Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/sda4 ...
Root device '/dev/sda4' desn't exist. Attempting to create it.
ERROR: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device '/dev/sda4'.
You are being dropped to a recovery shell

and here is my grub boot line:

title Arch Linux-ck
root (hd0,3)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26-ck root=/dev/sda4 ro vga=789
initrd /boot/kernel26.img

what am I missing here?

@Triver -
1) Do you have a separate /boot partition or is it contained within your root partition?
2) You're using the outdated names for images. Example from my system:

initramfs-linux-ck.img
vmlinuz-linux-ck

EDIT: also, you're mixing up the stock ARCH kernel with the ck kernel (read your post carefully and note that you're missing the "-ck" in the .img file).

thx that was my problem, I just got confused with the image names

graysky · 2011-08-19 01:08:36

All - please update your /etc/pacman.conf to reflect our new server's domain name (no more shitty comcast)!

[repo-ck]
Server = http://repo-ck.com/$arch

Packages have been updated and are online now.

Also, I added two new CPU-specific arches:
ck-corei7 ==> Intel i7/5/3 based CPUs EXCEPT Sandybridge.
ck-corei7-avx ==> Intel Sandybridge i7/5/3 based CPUs.

Should you wish to use one of these, remember that you'll need to uninstall the current package first since they all conflict with each other.

Example using groups:

# pacman -Rs ck-core2
checking dependencies...

Remove (5): linux-ck-core2-headers-3.0.3-1  linux-ck-core2-3.0.3-1  mkinitcpio-0.7.2-1
            mkinitcpio-busybox-1.18.5-1  linux-firmware-20110727-1

Total Removed Size:   115.51 MB

Do you want to remove these packages? [Y/n] Y

<<<Now install the new packages of your choosing>>>

# pacman -S ck-corei7-avx
:: There are 4 members in group ck-corei7-avx:
:: Repository repo-ck
   1) broadcom-wl-ck-corei7-avx  2) linux-ck-corei7-avx  3) linux-ck-corei7-avx-headers
   4) nvidia-ck-corei7-avx

Enter a selection (default=all): 2 3 4
