[coLinux-users] Colinux 0.7.2 hangs on startup XP

[Paolo M. <pao...@gm...>]

Hi Henry,

I checked my old kernel configuration of 0.7.1 that was very very
stable .... Never an hang of my system !

I had

#
# IO Schedulers
#
CONFIG_IOSCHED_NOOP=y
CONFIG_IOSCHED_AS=y
CONFIG_IOSCHED_DEADLINE=y
CONFIG_IOSCHED_CFQ=y

CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL=y

as you say.

This is the real thing. It is not the theory. The old configuration was stable.

But I cannot understand why  disabling CONFIG_PREEMPT and
CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL can produce deadlocks (or have more chances to have
deadlocks).

I decided to disabling these because I am not interested in improving
the responsivity of my colinux. I am only interested in performance.

Today I'll reconfigure as you saied me.

Bye,
Paolo
