Well hum! So 2.5.66-bk1 built with 2.5.59 on my little test system, and
booted, and after booting it and rebuilding the kernel from make clean
the remake was a tiny bit faster. And the system has stayed up for 80
minutes, and is reasonably responsive. Running X on a P-II 350 with
only 96MB RAM is a good test system, if not much fun to use.
Don't know what changed from 2.5.65 to 2.5.66-bk1, but my /dev/lp0 is
found again. The aha152x module compiled, perhaps it will work after I
put the SCSI hardware back in the machine.
2.5.59:
real 23m45.675s
user 19m46.912s
sys 1m34.438s
2.5.66-bk1:
real 22m30.302s
user 19m39.510s
sys 1m30.998s
I only see a few problems, after normal boot my log shows thousands of these:
Mar 25 15:38:16 oddball kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 0
Mar 25 15:38:48 oddball last message repeated 48 times
Mar 25 15:39:50 oddball last message repeated 93 times
Mar 25 15:40:52 oddball last message repeated 93 times
Mar 25 15:41:44 oddball last message repeated 80 times
Now hdc is a CD-ROM:
oddball:davidsen> cat /proc/ide/hd?/model
Maxtor 90845D4
WDC AC31600H
NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:28C
This started before X, I booted into text mode. There is no CD in the
drive, no automount anything running, and nothing I can see which should
be trying to read the CD. From the dmesg, the first error happens as
soon as the drive is seen, as if the kernel were trying to read a
partition table...

If I explicitly add hdc=cdrom to the boot parameters this doesn't
happen, so I suspect this is some minor glitch in detection.
Another minor issue is that DMA gets disabled on the hdb device, it is
dma capable, or so it claims. And setting the mode by hand has not
resulted in any "learning experiences." This may be caution by default,
I'm just noting it for completeness.
Capabilities:
LBA, IORDY(can be disabled)
Buffer size: 128.0kB ECC bytes: 22
Standby timer values: spec'd by standard
r/w multiple sector transfer: Max = 16 Current = 16

Cycle time: min=120ns recommended=120ns
PIO: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4
Cycle time: no flow control=160ns IORDY flow control=120ns
Other than that I have (so far) no problems, I'm running with NMI and
softdog, and will be doing a number of benchmarks after 12 hours of
assorted compiles and the like.
