Has anyone actually tried to find which patch breaks the keyboard? I'd |
2 |
like to get this keyboard thing fixed in g-d-s, and since I'm not |
3 |
affected, I can't test it... |
4 |
|
5 |
Also, what are the specific problems preventing us from going up to |
6 |
2.6.8 (and even 2.6.9) over 2.6.7? The main issues that I know of which |
7 |
are not resolved in 2.6.7-gentoo-r17 are: |
8 |
|
9 |
sparc32: |
10 |
* SMP "broken" - for all 2.6.x |
11 |
* Hypersparc DMA broken (patch on sparclinux) - for all 2.6.x |
12 |
* hme doesn't work on Hypersparc - 2.6.9 |
13 |
|
14 |
sparc64: |
15 |
* SMP with high load causes lockup - for all 2.6.x |
16 |
* high load / disk access causes (rare) lockup on UP and SMP (reported |
17 |
for a US II on 2.6.0-test10 and 2.6.9) - AFAIK, for all 2.6.x |
18 |
* stop-a doesn't work over serial console (patch on sparclinux, but I |
19 |
don't use serial console, so I haven't tested it) - for all 2.6.x |
20 |
* keyboard sometimes doesn't work - 2.6.7-gentoo-rx |
21 |
|
22 |
No issues that I see were added with 2.6.8, and additionally, I've been |
23 |
running g-d-s-2.6.8-r10 (with the sparc patch set forward ported from |
24 |
2.6.7-r17) without a hickup for the past day, and it's been constantly |
25 |
running 'dbench 32' for the past 90 minutes... I have a UP UltraSparc |
26 |
IIi... so would someone like to fill me in? Is it a sparc32 specific |
27 |
reason that I missed? |
