hi to the list!
i am new here ( i subscribed yesterday ) and i am really happy that i
have found this list finally, because i hope that i can get some answers
here, which i do not get in the LAU.
first about my setup: using ibm-thinkpad-R50e with the rme-multiface on
a debian-testing, using selfcompiled jack/alsa/music appi's.
i begun with the 2.6.12-mm kernel from demudi, but with 2.6.13 i am
compiling the kernel my self (got my first .config as a present from my
neighbors! ).
another important information about my setup is that i am accessing
internet vie an ad-hoc network using the usb-atmel driver (at76_usb)
from the git sources.
in the moment i am writing from 2.6.21.3-rt9, and just yesterday i
managed to implement the high-resolution-timer - the joke was really to
disable all the acpi stuff.
so toggling with menuconfig for about a year 'n a half now, there are
still come options, which i am not sure if i am answering correctly, and
googling for them, i only find some pages with no answer for me ( too
complicated kernel-hacker-language).
that's why i ll put the questions here in the hope that someone of you
will have time/passions to answer some of the neewbe questions!?
i ll try to structure the questions so, that it might be easy to answer
with just short instructions, please apologize if i am wrong.
so, here it goes:
-block layer
-IO shedulers
-anticipatory
-deadline
-cfq
-default-cfg(?)
i have marked all tree possibilities, the default one is cfg - please
comment!
..........................
-processor types and features
-local apic support on uniprocessor
-IO apic support on uniprocessors
is it recommended to activate or not?
not sure if this is the something to do that i managed to change the
irq's via bios for my yenta-socket (which is now almost alone at the
irq10)?
.........................
-networking
-networking options
-QoS and/or fair queueing
-timer interrupt (choosed in the moment)
-gettimeofday
-CPU cycle counter
any idea of which option could be recommanded?
..........................
-device drivers
-RTC
-sysfs
-proc
-dev -which one to choose?
-set system time from RTC on startup - do we need this?
...................
-device drivers
-character devices
-generic /dev/rtc emulation
do we want this emulation to work or not?
.....................
ok, that was it - i know it is a little much and it is not 'one question
per thread' style, but i am thinking that this way is good too and that
i ll get some (for me) useful answers/suggestions?!
cheers,
doc
