Article at 2CPU.com - Linux 2.6 and Hyper-Threading
by Marc Schwartz 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

Hi all, Just as an FYI to the group, the following article is new at 2CPU.com: Linux 2.6 and Hyper-Threading http://www.2cpu.com/articles/ht_linux/ The final paragraph: "The final word on Linux and hyper-threading? While the majority of benchmarks we've looked at here today have shown improvements, it's still important that you do your own testing with the applications you use on a daily basis. On the surface, HT certainly looks promising but it's clear that there are still situations out there where HT is going to negatively impact the performance of an application. Before rolling out those new workstations or servers, do your own testing in pre-production to find out what hyper-threading can do for you." Enjoy, Marc Schwartz

2.6.1-1.65 crash/burn repeatable
by Neal Becker 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

I am running 2.6.1-1.65 (last kernel I can test) on reiser/lvm2 (yes I'm brave/stupid). Every time I fire up amanda the system eventually freezes. AFAICT, it is running tar at that time. There are no clues in /var/log/messages.

Re: where to announce and discuss test updates (Re: Fedora Core 1Test Update)

In fact the update rss feed is even part of the Fedorapeople blog aggregate: http://fedora.linux.duke.edu/fedorapeople/ An rss feed for the test announcements would be harder, and would i think involve more human effort. I'm pretty sure fedoranews is creating their update rss feed from the fedora-announce-list which is just for released updates announcements, the low traffic nature of that list makes it much easier to regenerate announcements as an rss feed. Someone needs to approach the fedoranews.org maintainer about creating an rss feed for the test annoucements as well. And that someone should be prepared to volunteer their time actively watching the fedora-test-list for the test announcements and compiling those notices into something that can be rss'd. -jef"no time"spaleta

kernel-2.6.3-1.100 reiserfs ok, shmat strangeness (invalid arg)
by Bernhard K. Weisshuhn 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

Hi *, The sleep_on() dependency of reiserfs seems to be gone now, thanks Dave! But something seems to have changed wrt shm: After booting the prebuild smp kernel all applications failed on shmat(). Logs say something like this: shmat(id=229378) failed: Invalid argument After I compiled my own kernel from the same sources (kernel-source-2.6.3-1.100), the problem went away. Everything runs smooth now. Strange, huh? Anyone want my .config? cheers, Bernie

25 Feb '04

Anyone else seeing Mozilla just close when viewing certain sites (espn is one of them) with the latest rawhide updates? No, mozilla was not one of the updates. -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "You think it's funny until someone gets hurt...Then it's hilarious!"

Re: Wierdness with Internet
by Jim Shepherd 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

I possibly have the same problem. I installed Fedora Core 2 Test 1 and had no problems with network connectivity, even after running yum several times to update the packages. Today, I updated again and now I can only access internet sites on the other side of my home router (Wireless Linksys) by using the actual IP address, name resolution fails. My other computer on the home network running RedHat 9 still has full network connectivity. I also tried disabling ECN: I logged in as root, typed: echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn and still had the same problems. I even restarting network services after disabling ECN without success. I also checked resolv.conf and it is the same as the RedHat 9 computer. Any ideas? -Jim

Re: Still Problems/Solution with Discovery of Creative Labs/Ensonic PCI 1371 Card.
by Peter Banks 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

Just for grins, (being unemployed I have lots of time) I deleted the hwconf file in /etc/syscconfig directory and the lines in the modprobe file to determine if kudzu would properly discover my Creative Labs/Ensonic PCI 1371 Card. (I update my Fedora system everyday.) Now kudzu selects the right driver in the "alias sound-slot-0 snd-ens1371" statement but the install sound-slot-0 state does not load the driver. After a lot of attempts to get the line to work, I gave up and loaded the following two lines in the /etc rc.local file: modprobe snd-ens1371 alsactl restore Works great! Regards, pab

Perl/mod_perl test update
by Chip Turner 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

Hey folks, A perl and mod_perl update have been placed into testing. The goal is to releasse perl 5.8.3 into FC1 by Friday, March 5th. The update should be fairly smooth, but please test against all of your weird perl modules (and especially with anything that embeds perl itself) and note any breakages via bugzilla. All perl modules and apps that embed perl should work properly. Apps known to embed perl that ship with Fedora: gaim, vim, xchat2, mod_perl (part of this update). Thanks, Chip -- Chip Turner cturner(a)redhat.com Red Hat, Inc.
