Currently: 2.6.19-git6 2.6.19-git17 still shows some problems, as well: ipw3945 driver did not compile (not sure why) - possibly can solve on my own though. (primary laptop is Acer with ipw2200) ATI driver did not compile (showstopper)
synaptics driver: - untested in 2.6.19-git17 as ATI driver necessary. - still breaks down - over a couple of days - on 2.6.19-git6. Suspect timing problem - and also suspect hardware problem. Breaks down in about an hour or two if kernel is at 1000Hz timer.
CD recording : recorder no longer detected by "wodim" software set in 2.6.19. I suspect it's a bug in the software... but don't know where to look for changes. 2.6.19-rc5 worked. hardware: IDE MATSHITADVD-RAM UJ-820S (2.6.19-git6 also fails with external LiteON USB DVD burner)
SATA: 2.6.19-git6: long delay booting up (up to 30 seconds!!!). Intel 945G hardware. These laptops (HP/Compaq nx6310) will not boot with any kernel below 2.6.19. They also use Intel 3945 wireless drivers. (we're shipping this model with linux - and haven't found a comparable model price and feature-wise that does not use the same chipset) These also are Pentium M Yonah CPUS - not properly supported by cpuspeed. Not sure how much that's affecting things either.
SATA units use a flash hard drive. This may be a factor as well.
Any help at all in solving these would be appreciated.
Any suggested kernel patchlevels? Any specific areas to test? Configuration settings that matter?
for the ATI driver: it's not for distribution but for my primary work computer - so anything goes. I just want it to work. Everything else here however is quite important. - Teunis -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
