| |
<off-subject> Linus should be tired of reading messages regarding compilation problems of 2.3.99-pre2, but I found 2 of them: a missing #include <linux/module.h> somewhere in shm.c and a static variable from sb_mix that should be global... </off-subject>
I notice a general slowdown in linux 2.3.99 from my previous working version (2.3.48). Some operations became very time consuming without wasting any CPU. The most obvious one in my system was gnome-terminal, in 2.3.48 it takes less then a second to run but in 2.3.99-pre2 it takes 10 sec just to bring the screen! After loading it seems to run at full speed. (the .config used in 2.3.99-pre2 was copied from my 2.3.48 and updated)
I also saw a severe file corruption problem as reported by Simon Kirby in my 2.3.99-pre1 trial. Some files was overwritten with binary data and after reboot the filesystem had a lot of errors, cross linked files and so on.
Any ideas? I can make some tests to try to spot the problem, but I have no clue....
Regards,
Miguel Freitas
