Description

From: Hans v. Mangoldt

source: http://bugs.ecomstation.nl/view.php?id=2230

I give this report via bugtracker because the "next" button of the "Feedback Wizard" is greyed out. The computer is connected to the internet over a permanent connection.

First of all thank you very much for your great work up till now. But this does not mean that there are not remaining some errors ... First of all with the Dell Latitude D530 with "/FS /PIC /SMP" parameters of ACPI.psd USB-ports stop to work after a while. So USB-Mouse or USB-Stick are not working any more. Plugging in the mouse in another port does help sometimes. This happens, too, in single CPU mode. Ommiting out the "/FS" parameter cures the problem. But in "/SMP" mode eCS 2.0RC5 does not boot up without "/FS" parameter.

Second, in SMP mode eCS is working slow. Windows are filled slowly after beeing opened. You can even look at the characters appearing on the screen while typing on the keyboard. The archivers ZIP and ARJ are at least 5 times slower with two cores than with only one (ARJ 3.10 slows down less than the built-in ZIP with two cores). All these problems are not existing in single core mode. Third, shutdown with power off is not working, neither in APM nor in ACPI mode.

I checked out the ACPI versions 3.09 and 3.11.

Thank you for your help!

e-co:

OK, the notebook seems modern http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/latit_d530?c=us&l=en&s=biz&cs=555

Does acpi-test.cmd show errors?

attach acpi logs, http://ecomstation.ru/projects/acpitools/?action=logs copy acpica$ acpi.log

yes acpi-test.cmd shows problems. I added the output of the script (acpi-test.cmd >file) to other acpi.log files incl. IASL output. It's all in acpi-logs.zip.

Waiting for tester..

It's necessary collect logs again, with Uni kernel, SMP: irqstat utility output, etc.

I only added logs with SMP-Kernel (14.104a) because eCS 2.0 RC5 does not boot up with Warp or Uni 14.104a kernel. By the way: eCS 2.0 RC6a CD does not boot on the laptop but hangs with the bootscreen (eCS 2.0 RC6a displayed). I hope these logs are helpfull ...

e-co:

Dell => always use /FS

Please try boot is SMP APIC mode, /SMP /APIC /FS or /SMP /APIC /FS /CD

If you continue to use PIC SMP then

Pasha:

RUS: PIC так тем более, а USB на IRQ9 так это однозначно надо валить на APIC

ENG: USB occupied IRQ9 - it's ACPI IRQ, please free it via BIOS setup (move devices to other IRQs).

Hello e-co,

yes, "/FS" is used all the time. I now used "/APIC"- instead of "/PIC"-mode. eCS 2.0 RC5 now even seems more slow than with "/SMP" and "/PIC" - PM-windows are built up pretty slow and one of the CPU-cores is occupied nearly 100 %, changing every second from one core to the other. With "/APIC" enabled the broadcom NetXtreme? driver (9.07) does not load because it does not like high interrupts ... I will add another ACPI.LOG with "APIC".

e-co:

Repeat please, what is the main problem? run network adapter?

Broadcom Nextreme Gigabit driver should work in SMP APIC.

Did you tried Genmac Wrapper? UNSUPPORTED mode, do you know how to use it?

are there patched drivers for Broadcom for APIC? ACPI docs -> drivers supported in SMP APIC http://ecomstation.ru/hardware.php?action=category&section=net&page=2

e-co:

OK, you are in SMP APIC, now let's tune the work of notebook.

Please try boot withoud uniaud driver (rem it in config,sys)

try disable USB legacy in BIOS Setup

try Panorama VESA video driver

Pasha:

use TOP utility (or CADH) to view list of processes, which one overloads the CPU?

Version: 3.113.14

comment:11 Changed 15 years ago by ecsnl

For the Nextreme NIC support try this driver with APIC mode.

comment:12 Changed 15 years ago by eco

e-co:

Please disable UNIAUD, network adapters.

Try SMP APIC again.

Does the computer work slow? Let's view the logs.
