I don't know if this is valid, but it relates to an earlier discussion. |
2 |
I synced my portage 3 days ago. Did a sudo emerge -fDN world (to get |
3 |
all the source code needed) and then did just sudo emerge -DN yesterday |
4 |
evening. I got up to find my computer frozen, (and the screen blanked) |
5 |
rebooted it and started the emerge -DN again. Again it froze on |
6 |
tar-1.15.1 (I think that's the version) I rebooted and recompiled my |
7 |
gentoo kernel without preemption, and did the emerge -DN again after |
8 |
rebooting with the new kernel and that went fine. |
9 |
|
10 |
I had PreEmption enabled and also SMP, since I do have a Dual-Processor |
11 |
machine, now does this mean that the premption doesn't perform well on |
12 |
SMP either or what? And is this just in compiling? I never had a |
13 |
problem with emerging snes9x or totem or libxine, and I think two other |
14 |
packages, so could someone explain this to me? |
15 |
|
16 |
Since I do run a Desktop machine, and not a number cruncher or anything |
17 |
like that, can I compile a kernel with preemption for normal use, and |
18 |
one without for emerging and have them use the same /lib/modules? As |
19 |
far as I understand it the modules are loaded depending on the output of |
20 |
uname, and as long as they are both off the same kernel tree with the |
21 |
same, or no, local version, it should work. Am I correct in this? |
