2.6.11.10 much slower than 2.6.8
I upgraded my Kernel to 2.6.8 using official Debian Sarge package and
everything went fine, no problem. Then I decided to compile a
newer kernel version and do some optimisation (compiling
a new kernel is fun you know...). Well, after some errors and
corrections I managed to install and boot succesfully to
2.6.11.10. I was happy awhile but then I noticed that this
newer version was muuuuuch slower that official Debian 2.6.8.
It is impossible to watch for examle dvd because video quality
and audio is so poor (frames are lost etc.)
If I boot to older kernel version, I do not have these problems,
totem plays dvd correctly. So the problem is in kernel that is
how I have made it.
I have studied and studied .config of 2.6.8 and all relevant settings
should be the same in .config for 2.6.11.10 but this performance
problem remains. If I used 2.6.8 .config to make 2.6.11.10, the
kernel didn't boot, so I have had to edit .config that came with 2.6.11.10
release.
Any idea what could be the reason? Do I have to change some
kernel header files (which ones) or what?
