Hi,
Out of curiosity with the current power issues, I'd like to perform power tests for every kernel revision of every ubuntu version. For example, for 11.04 I'd like to test 2.6.38-8, through 2.6.38-11. In addition, I'd like to specify boot options (like pcie_aspm=force) that need to be tested, so that all unique combinations are tested. Since options generally have a "starting point" for when they start to do something, that would be nice as well (to cut down on unnecessary testing). Also, different shells would be nice (unity vs classic).
In summary, I'd like to test (using pts/battery-power-usage) all the unique combinations of:
- Every kernel revision for the currently installed ubuntu
- Different switches (only when relevant)
- Different shells
Reinstalling ubuntu (to test different releases) is unavoidably a manual thing to do, but I'd prefer everything within an ubuntu version to be automated. Since this involves a lot of reboots and selecting different shells at login, is this even possible with phoronix test suite?
Greetings,
Erwin Junge
PS I've made a bit of a start on 11.04, but that took a lot of time and manual work (lots of reboots and changes in grub). The result can be seen here (naming is a bit messy, a decent naming scheme would be a bonus): http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1...GR-1107245GR40
