Re: Changing CPU Speed while running Linux

2001-06-13 Thread Magnus Sandberg

Hi,

I have a brand new Dell Inspiron 8000, laptop. It can run in 700 MHz or
850 MHz. The manual says that the machine/BIOS switches speed dependent on 
CPU load. I have not installed Linux yet, but it works with Win2000.

It is also possible to force the BIOS to one speed if the OS don't like 
speed changes.

Would Linux accept sudden changes of CPU clock rate or is it only the the OS 
initiate the change of speed it is accepted?

I agree with you that it should be a generic thing. I guess that more and 
more laptops will get dual-speed CPUs.

I have a module for the K6 PowerNow which allows you to do

echo 450 > /proc/sys/cpu/0/frequency

and does the right thing wrt udelay / bogomips etc..
I can dig it out if you want.. sounds like this should be a more generic
thing.

Hi,

I guess there are no simple answers... Below I have 3 different answers to
my
previous questions. As they relate to the same problem,I descided to put
them togheter in this mail.

Mark Hahn don't realy seams to agree with Andre about if noapic is
crippling
the system or not.

Alan Cox says that VIA and SMP are not supported for the moment by 2.2.
What does that mean? Can I use it at all or do I risk to get hardware
damage
of my motherboard or just an unstable system?

Shane Wegner seams to have some sort of work-around by mixing new and old
versions of IDE-patch.


>From all this I have a new three-stage question;

Is it just luck that Shane got it working?
Or do I have to wait for 2.2.20 or go for 2.4 (which I'm not mentally
prepered for...)?
Or how crippled is a system without APIC?

noapic is *not* semi-crippled.  it may even be faster than apic mode.
turning off udma, though, that's definitely crippling.

2.2 does not support VIA SMP. 2.4 should get it right. 2.2.20 may support
it
but I'm working on a 3 month schedule for 2.2.20

Not presently however an older one can.  I posted on this a
few weeks back and what worked for me was to get the IDE
patch ide-2.2.19.05042001 from
ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hedrick/ide-2.2.19.
That is the most recent as of this writing.  Then replace
the via82cxxx.c driver which that created by patching
2.2.18 with ide-2.2.18.1221.

This allowed me to boot fine with VIA SMP and everything
works well.

Shane

Hi,

I need some help with Linux kernel 2.2.19. I added Andre Hidrick's IDE-patch 
to get Ultra-DMA for my IDE disk. That kernel has worked for a month. 
Yesterday I decided to activate SMP to really use both of the CPUs in the 
system. That didn't work. The system hangs during boot phase, no oops or 
other error messages, just a silent stop.

First of all I have a question, should SMP work with Hidrick's IDE-patch?
If so, what could be wrong?


For the moment I don't have to much information to give to you, but I can 
get what ever you want when I get back home from work.

I compiled the none-SMP kernel at 22nd of April, which means that the 
IDE-patch must be older than that. I run a Debian 2.2 (Potato) system.
The motherboard is a Micro Star 694D-Pro with two PIII-850 CPUs,
256 MB RAM, etc.

The only information I have for the moment is a "dmesg" output from my 
non-SMP functional kernel and two .config from /usr/src/linux/ one from the 
functional none-SMP and the other for the problematic SMP-version.

Of cause the dmesg outputs differ depending on the kernel type but I have 
inserted a pointer that show where the SMP-kernel friezes. As the kernel 
friezes I have to write don't the output by hand and I din't have the time 
to do it yesterday evening.

Problem with kernel 2.2.19 Ultra-DMA and SMP, more info

2001-06-01 Thread Magnus . Sandberg

Hi again,

Earlier today I wrote about my SMP and Ultra-DMA problem. Now have I
written
down the boot information. I hope that the attachment show the correct
information, it was written in W*rd so some lower case chars can have been
converted into upper case...

I also checked the IDE-patch and the filename was
kernel-patch-2.2.19-ide_20010325-1.tar.gz.
Could a newer IDE-patch handle SMP better than this one?


Thanks!

Problem with kernel 2.2.19 Ultra-DMA and SMP, once more

2001-06-01 Thread Magnus . Sandberg

Hi once more...

I'm sorry for the layout of this mail. It is written in a web mail
system...
The attachements are in ASCII format even if the web-mail make it base-64

Now I have compiled a vanilla 2.2.19 kernel and have SMP working, without
Ultra-DMA. I used the functional kernel config from 2.2.19-ide and just
activated SMP.

From that I have 3 very simular kernel configurations:
2.2.19 with Hidrick's IDE-patch, no SMP: working
2.2.19 without IDE-patch, with SMP: working
2.2.19 with IDE-patch and SMP: not booting

With all the information I hope that someone can help me with the
IDE-and-SMP
problem.
