is that a dual core machine or no?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 21, 2008 1:52 PM, Dexter Filmore <<a href="mailto:Dexter.Filmore@gmx.de">Dexter.Filmore@gmx.de</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Posted this on user list, no response, possibly a kernel config thing so I'd<br>like to bring it up here:<br><br>Machine:<br>AthlonXP 3200+ @2.2GHz, 1GB RAM, nForce2 mobo.<br><br>Operating systems:<br><br>-Kubuntu 7.04
with 2.6.22 kernel backported from gutsy, X on free r300<br>-debian 4.0r2, kernel 2.6.18-k7, X on free r300<br>-Slackware 11, kernel <a href="http://2.6.17.9" target="_blank">2.6.17.9</a> custom, X on ATi fglrx<br><br>VMware6 installed on all 3 OSses, all can access the same VMs, I used the same
<br>WinXP on a 384MB RAM VM on all three environments, latest VMtools installed.<br><br>Results:<br>Slackware performs blazing fast, restoring the suspended XP takes 1 or 2<br>seconds before Windows responds, about 15-30 seconds before the VM is fully
<br>restored. Suspend happens instantaneous, less than a second.<br>Can switch between VMware and other apps with neglectible performance impact.<br><br>Debian: similar, resume takes a little longer, up to about a minute, then
<br>everything is smooth, suspend instantaneous as on Slackware.<br>Can switch between VMware and other apps with neglectible performance impact<br>as on Slack. Kaffeine, Opera with Java, Google Earth all running, all fine,
<br>video encoder running in the VM.<br><br>Kubuntu: VMware complains that /dev/rtc is not available because it is used by<br>anothe application. lsof shows nothing accessing rtc. Hints on VMware site<br>unuseful: this cpu doesn't even have throttling.
<br><br>Resuming the suspended WinXP VM takes between 4 and 5 minutes (!!).<br>The system performs afterwards as if it was runnign on 256MB and with L2 cache<br>diabled. Working impossible. Suspending the VM takes about 20-30 seconds.
<br><br><br>Useful hints on where to investigate most welcome.<br><br>2.6.22 was backported to Feisty by me due to USB issues with the stock 2.6.20,<br>but tests show same behaviour with 2.6.20.<br><br>Dex<br><br>--<br>-----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK-----
