I installed 7RH.2 and downloaded 2.4.17 sources to run on it, since newer is better :) Never had any problems. (I hope you did not specify DELL Support in the options, did you?) Than I bought myself an Inspiron4100 which is now running 2.4.18. The only flaky things I've seen Is sound support on KDE, but that might have been related to aRts, and the ide-scsi driver does not Seem to work anymore since 2.4.17. Rest is all fine, even APM and the stuff. I usually have uptimes of 8 hours, during the week, and 2.5 days over the weekend. I compile newer kernels for my Inspiron always with DELL Laptop Support, which I never do for my C600. Both are currently happily running 2.4.18. Both kernels supports ext3 and all filesystems except /dev/cdrom Are running ext3. X Environment is XFree4 with ATI Mobility Radeon M6 Drivers. Kernel doesn't do any Framebuffering whatsoever, but supports the AGP Drivers for Radeon. X Desktop is KDE2, or KDE3RC3 depending on what I want to do :) Compiler: gcc 2.95.x Just my $0.02, Guus -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org [mailto:linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org] Im Auftrag von Bill Davidsen Gesendet: Mittwoch, 3. April 2002 06:03 An: Linux-Kernel Mailing List Betreff: Ext2 vs. ext3 recovery after crash I have a laptop (Dell Inspiron C600) which, like most Dell laptops, crashes every time I log out of X. On some occasions on reboot I get a message about replaying the journal, while occasionally I get a full ext2 style multi-pass 12 minute recovery. I don't see why the ext3 isn't always used, I know it's going to crash, I always do a sync and wait ten seconds for journal writes, etc, to take place. I have tried all the usual, Redhat kernels, 2.4.17, 2.4.19, -aa, -ac, disable io-apc, disable apic, disable all power management, boot noapic (someone swore it wasn't enough to pull it out of the kernel ;-) all producing about 20% chance of slow reboot. Since I would have to spend my own money to replace this device with something functional before 2003, is there something I'm missing about why it does the slow cleanup? It was Redhat 7.1, updated fsutils and modutils, pcmcia packed, etc, to latest of Mar 15 this year, in case that matters. All kernels have ext3 compiled in, all work "most of the time." -- bill davidsen CTO, TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with little computers since 1979. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
