Well, in this kernel it no longer hangs and does pretty much nothing(love 3)... it will sync this time but then immediately drop the connection... which cause pppd to fail connecting...
Any ideas?

neocore: if u are using the eciadsl drivers, then update to v0.9, that made it work for me. i was having issues with my modem, but they fixed them i was reading apparently there is some bugs in the usb modules, there are patches on the website. i dunno if these patches are useful apart from for eciadsl modems
site for eciadsl drivers
no word on why lirc was dropped?
thx alot for a great kernel |

LIRC wasn't dropped, just forgotten. My mistake, I'm still trying to gather all of the old patches I had. They'll be in the next release.

I'm getting poor performance with Ati-Drivers, but apparanty fglrx is loaded and opengl-updated, so something is wrong somewhere. Performance is otherwise love-sources-esque (preempt is off). Additionally Konq can now rip CD's properly. I used to get a device timeout with my previous kernel (2.6.3-love6).
Thanks for continuous hard work.
PS:Is renicing X still suggested?

I've heard a lot of troubles with the ATI drivers recently. I'm still working out a solution.
Renicing X is still suggested. I'll post a howto with the next release specifically for Xorg.

I remember that there was a big deal about there being much faster audio CD ripping due to a patch added to the kernel at some point. I assume that programs don't have to be coded to use a new way to rip the discs.
The reason why I ask is because I use KDE's audiocd:/ kioslave and it's about as slow as I remember it being before. |

A patch was propsed to use DMA instead of PIO when reading data from CDs. This mainly improved ripping performance, but added enhancements else where as well. I think the problem lies within kde's audiocd:/ method of ripping cds, which was never optimal in the first place. Try grip or the like and see if it still uses as much CPU time.
A side note: If you're haveing problems building external modules (vmware, nvidia, ati, etc.) reverse the kbuild-external-module-support from mm's broken out directory.

i find that even the audiocd:/ method in kde is faster with the dma patch, but i think that the performance is dependent on the speed of the encoder, the most noticible performance increase will be when you are ripping directly to an uncompressed wav file.

The audiocd kio slave from KDE uses cdparanoia to read the CD. AFAIK Grip uses cdparanoia too, thus they should not differ much in their performance. |

Am I the only one for which bootsplash doesn't work yet?
If not, why is it still included?
If so, how can I make it work for me too  Have I missed any tweak discussed in one of the love-threads?

No, you haven't missed anything. Bootsplash is working perfectly over here.

Hmmz. Strange. What video-card are you using?
The latest love-sources that gives me a working bootsplash is love-sources-2.6.3-love4. All later kernels break it for me on my NVidia GF4 Ti4400 card.
Framebuffer works, but I get the Love-penguin instead of my fullscreen bootsplash, untill the framebuffer RC-script executes which displays a few segfaults and puts the appropriate picture on my console.

No Bootsplash here either .
Did not bother posting since it is not a priority but you're not alone.
The liveCD did have it (2.4.2 kernels) but all my installed dont see it. |

I have just compiled the new love4 and my usb scanner either locks up or gets device busy.
This was the same under love2 and I believed it was something that I still needed to work on. Hwvr, yesterday I tried ck2 kernel and it came straight up and worked like a dream.
I have seem other comments that ck2 handles USB more reliably.
In other ways I prefer to stay with love but this is an essencial function for me and I need to get it working if I am to stay with love kernels.
Is this a surmountable problem? Any help? 
Thanks, Gentree. |

I'm so sorry! I meant framebuffer as well. Aaarh... must remember stop doing drugs.

So what doesnot work? Framebuffer as well on your system, or frame buffer as well as bootsplash. |

Is GigaRaid in there? I had to manually add it to 2.6.5-r2 even though it was in the notes.
[edit] Also, is it better to have the preemtable kernel option on or off? |

Framebuffer works. And in the case of bootsplash I don't know, I haven't used it since xmas.

I just noticed that 2.6.5-mm5 has arrived... why doesn't it show up on the main page of kernel.org?

Andrew is disowning mm5. It's horribly broken and beaten up.

GigaRaid isn't in there. If you have the patch, please email it to me and I will include it again.
Preempt is one of those things that works well for some people and slows things down for others. Try both and see which one is better.

It's already been merge IIRC. If it hasn't then it's in mm and therefore in love.

Just mm5. He releases an mm5-1, but that isn't that much better. He's still going to release a rocking mm patchset, but this one just had too many issues.
