| |
Hi -
I have been looking into the tux2 webserver - Man, what a thing of beauty. A web benchmark that sends the load on the web server to 150 when running apache results in a load average of maybe 2 when running tux, and much faster results to boot - anyway, I digress....
I built 2.4.16+low-latency+preempt+tux2, and started testing it. To my horror, the webserver died - I checked the logs and found an oops - (for your edification, I attach it below)
So, I figured, preempt and low latency don't mix well - I'll just build a kernel with tux and preempt.
To my horror, the new kernel without the low latency patch oopsed immediately as well, as soon as I started an apachebench run from a remote testing box.
(for you edification, I include this oops also)
I removed the preempt patch and basically compiled just 2.4.16+tux, and hammered on it for several hours - rock solid.
So, there is an issue with tux and the preempt patch - I've got big plans for tux atm, so for now I will have to do without preempt -
Thanks & Regards,
jjs
