2.6.5-love5 aka "Still Ruler Of The World"

For those that need it, here's 2.6.5-love5. I removed v30b from this release, it doesn't compile with SMP enabled. I put it online for those that want to try and apply it and don't have a need for SMP. It doesn't apply cleanly, but the rejects are easy to fix.

I am really wanting to try this out, yet I don't know how to make my own ebuilds or add them to the portage for that matter. Could anyone direct me to the doc or the thread that talks about it? I have looked for a bit and haven't really had any luck.

Did I miss the howto for renicing X.ORG's server?

Normally I'd be all for testing, but I'm going to Rome tomorrow and I don't want the system to go nuts while I'm away. Plus, 2.6.6-rc1 is out which means the -mm won't be far behind.

I have a very n00b question: how is that 2.6.5-love5 is 574K and 2.6.5-mm6 has 1,9M, although love5 includes mm6?

So, it's better to apply the mm patch first and then love, right?
Is there any difference if i use mm4-broken-out or mm?

And another question: Let's say i have patched the kernel with love4. When I want to patch it with love5 too, I have to reinstall the sources? I ask that because whenever I do this, it's asking me something about "previous patch, apply? , ignore? ". What should I do?

Will ati-drivers work with this one? Has anyone tried yet?

I couldn't get fglrx to load. I believe that last time I copied fglrx.ko from /usr/modules/kernelversion/video. I did the same last time and i could modprobe fglrx, but this time it didn't work period. No doubt I did something else last time in addition, but I was just dicking around don't remember. Performance was poor anyway.

I am using the Xorg wrapper without incident.

What does Kernel Internal Timer Frequency do? I really have looked and had no luck. Currently I have it at 100.

hi,
since love4 i'm experiencing again those annoying hardlocks. Did you remove some nforce2-patches or something in the last two releases?
I'll set pci=noacpi again n try if it gets stable, but normally i would like to use acpi ;-)

Maybe s/o has a hint what to do, but the old love-sources have proved stable for me, the new ones don't; and i didn't change my config.

Hi,

I'd just like to clarify the process for love kernel installation.

love5 patchs mm ; mm5 patches gentoo-sources 2.6.5

Does this mean I need to explicitly emerge the gentoo-sources then emerge mm5 then emerge love5 or is this all taken care of by emerge love-sources?

I have been using love for a couple of months and find it great, but I have been unable to get my USB scanner working. I thought maybe I had not correctly installed love-sources.

Thanks.

Gentree-

The ebuild for love-sources takes care of all of this.

You should run the command 'ebuild /usr/local/portage/sys-kernel/love-sources/love-sources-2.6.5-r5.ebuild digest'
and this will download the necessary kernel, mm, and love patches and digest them.

Now you can do emerge love-sources and all is taken care of.

Running love5 and reniced Xorg, very fast as usual.
I'm quite content to have switched over to love-sources as of a few weeks ago.

Thanks steel300.

sweet... I've been waiting for this release b4 I recompile
my kernel... I'll have to do it in the morning since

crossed.

@steel300
Ahem, I think i am too stupid to resolve the rejects when adding v30b ontop of love5. Some numbers are simply different eg struct members, so I dunno whetehr to leave them or to use them from the patch. Could you be so nice and upload patched include/linux/sched.h and kernel/sched.c ?

Can someone explain to me what re-niceing the X.org server is for? Thanks

Steel since your still getting lot's of questions about installing the love, why not put a link to my howto on the first post, along with the changelog? It's a little hard to find nowadays.
