I wanted to try out blk-7 to see if it cured the abysmal I/O performance on 2.4.0-test10, but it won't boot on my system. The last message I see is the banner of the SCSI host adapter init (it found the card) but it never actually lists the devices on the host... weird place to crash actually. I tried it twice, and waited about a minute each time for it to make progress. In other words, this appears: (scsi0) found at PCI 0/11/0 (scsi0) Wide Channel, SCSI ID=7, 32/255 SCBs (scsi0) Downloading sequencer code... 392 instructions downloaded scsi0 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 5.2.1/5.2.0 But it never makes it to: (scsi0:0:0:0) Synchronous at 80.0 Mbyte/sec, offset 15. Vendor: SEAGATE Model: ST39102LW Rev: 0006 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 (scsi0:0:2:0) Synchronous at 80.0 Mbyte/sec, offset 31. Vendor: IBM Model: DNES-318350W Rev: SA30 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 Does this ring a bell? I tried using SYSRQ and it shows the 'current' as kapmd-idled and the showPc shows the PC at c01108ff -> apm_bios_call_simple. Hmm. I'll try any subsequent patch you can offer. My system is a single processor Athlon 700, 256mb ram, 2.4.0-test10 plus blk-7. David Mansfield P.S. I added the #define ELEVATOR_MERGE_HOLE 3 like someone else mentioned, and the patch applied cleanly except filemap.c which was offset -20 lines. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
