| |
I switched from 2.4.22-ac4 to 2.6.1-rc1 in the hope that perhaps if I could reproduce the hangs my SIIG SIi680 Ultra ATA 133 controller is causing in a 2.6.x kernel, the people on this list might be more forthcoming in suggestions for debugging them (I've received no responses at all to my request for help debugging the hangs with 2.4.22-ac4).
I've had to switch back to 2.4.22-ac4 because 2.6.1-rc1 regularly, reliably locks up on me under heavy load. I don't think this is related to the IDE controller lockups I'm seeing occasionally under 2.4.22-ac4, because it happens reliably under heavy load and the lockups under 2.4.22-ac4 weren't nearly as reliable.
Furthermore, even before it looks up, I find that the performance under heavy load is much slower than 2.4.22-ac4's performance.
I understood how to get the ac kernel patches to make a 2.4.x kernel into something useful, but I don't know if perhaps there's something equivalent for 2.6.x kernels which I'm not doing but should be. Alan doesn't seem to be putting out patch-sets for recent kernels. I see the "mm" kernel mentioned regularly on this list, but I don't know if that's something I should be using instead of the plain kernel, and if so, how to get it (for the ac patches, I have looked in ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/alan).
I'd appreciate any help and/or suggestions you can provide.
Thanks,
