Revision as of 06:10, 31 May 2006
I recently tried using the libata-tj patch tarball for 2.6.16.16, applying this against the newly released 2.6.16.18 kernel (released today.) Patch applied cleanly. Upon boot, I immediately get a multitude of "weird" errors -- strange lockups, programs segmentation fault (running "top" resulted in a seg fault), and ultimately a hard lockup.
I booted back to my vanilla 2.6.16.16, ran fsck (appeared to just replay a few transactions, no major damage), and am back to normal. However, it successfully scared me off - unfortunately can't risk too much downtime (or worse, subtle fs corruption) right now on my main system. Anybody have experiences with this on a T43p using piix driver?

The 2.6.16.16 patch works fine on my T43. There's a git tree (mentioned on the patch's webpage) which is closer to 2.6.18, but AFAIK no simple unified patch was prepred.

Cool. If I get brave I'll try it again on the 43p against 2.6.16.16 proper and report back.

Works fine here on 2.6.16. I got only one crash with Suspend to Ram, which I'm unable to reproduce yet. I renamed the acpi event files because at least my acpid doesn't read files that ends with .conf

Update - patched against 2.6.16.19, works fine. It appears my previous problems were due to a disk error unrelated to the patch. Excellent!
