@ L124RD

Many thanks for your reply, I did fix the missing 802 file situation but when i diffed the file to make the patch it wasn't picked up (no idea why but there we go)

Anyway, if people are having trouble with the ipw2100 compile then enter the follwing code for a simple fix:

I must be doing something wrong... I get the following when I attempt to compile.

Anyone have a idea what I may be doing wrong? Maybe I am not patching correctly?

From /usr/src I run:

hmmm, does anyone know where to get the latest nick's scheduler & nickvm patches? i only see rather old patches against 2.6.4 on his kerneltrap site...

You need IVMAN ???????(' :?:

Look at all the gnome dependencies......................

I'm curious: which bootsplash and vesafb-tng patches did you test out for love5?

Right now I'm running 2.6.7-love5 with:

bootsplash-3.1.4-sp2-2.6.7
vesafb-tng-0.9-rc2-2.6.7

Both applied cleanly and work fine for me. Then again, I usually have more luck at this than most people (lucky at kernels, unlucky at love, as the saying goes...

).

So if anyone's itching for some adventure:

http://www.bootsplash.de/files/bootsplash-3.1.4-sp2-2.6.7.diff
http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/vesafb-tng/vesafb-tng-0.9-rc2-2.6.7.patch.bz2

My specs for reference:
Athlon TBird 1400
IWill KA266-r (ALi magik chipset)
GeForce3: Using the new 6106 nVidia drivers

PS: bootsplash-3.1.4-sp2 is "better" because it was made to be framebuffer independant, so you can run it on things besides vesafb (like rivafb or radeonfb).

hmmm, interesting, as i can't get bootsplash to work using 2.6.7-mm5 + vesafb-tng-0.9-rc2-2.6.7 + bootsplash-3.1.4-2.6.7-mm5...
so the only difference is the bootsplash version, guess i'll try that one and see how it goes....

If I start with a default .config file I can compile successfully. Does anyone know what kernel config setting would cause the reisfer4/debug.c file to fail to compile?

Frodg, are you sure you don't have gnome in your USE flags? To me, it looks like the hal-cvs ebuild has gnome enabled.

dolio, can you maybe tell me exactly how you patched those 2 patches to love5 cleanly..? if i try to apply them, they both fail at several hunks...

I'm beginning to think I didn't...

Let me get back to you. I need to pay more attention.

It's official: I'm an idiot.

I did get vesafb-tng to work, for what it's worth. Removing the rrc patch and applying tng went fine for me, and as far as I can tell, it boots fine.

Bootsplash I applied and fixed by hand, but it still doesn't compile right off the bat. When I "fixed" the code to compile, it boots, but it automatically ignores the initrd and goes with a plain fb console. Once the bootsplash init script runs, though, my framebuffer got reset to some strange, non-standard resolution, and my attempts to use fbset to change the resolution just froze the console, and I had to use the magic sysrq button to escape.

So bootsplash needs work (there are fbcon changes in mm4 and mm5). I don't know what problems people are having with vesafb-tng, though. It seemed to work fine to me.

I apologize for getting your hopes up.

Just thought I'd clue anyone in who's experiencing issues not being able to access www.gentoo.org, bugs.gentoo.org, or dev.gentoo.org. Some weird bug exists in mm-sources, I'm honestly not sure if it affects everyone or not. If you want to fix it though here are the commands that fixed it for me.

ahhh ok, nevermind then...

that seems like the same sort of problems i was having trying to get it to work... i also got a framebuffer console using vesafb-tng, but bootsplash does nothing....
but i think the problem is with the combination vesafb-tng and bootsplash... as i got them to apply cleanly to 2.6.7-mm5 but still i had the same problems..

So there has to be something spooky with the new love

hi,
just to report: update applies & compiles cleanly, everything ok, including nvidia. But i don´t use bootsplash nor framebuffer for i´m a speedfreak, so nothing to tell about those :-)

the love5 patch seems to work ok.

I tried the update patch, and that gave me nvidia problems. Further examination revealed that register arguments had got itself turned on again. Dunno how that happened. Now all is working apart from bootsplash.

Qingy works! Hooray!

Boot time seems to be longer than I'd expect, and there seems to be a bit of sluggishness to X. Nothing compared to the occasional long lags with rc2-2 and rc3-1 mind. It could be purely subjective.

On a slightly different note, did anything come of the suggestion to set up a love sources archive? I know this is bleeding edge stuff, and I don't mind the occasional shaky release - mainly because with love sources, you know there'll be another one along shortly and it won't be too long before you get one that works for you.

But if we're going to get longer release times (and I appreciate that devs have lives too) the some way to get back to the last stable version would be useful.

All that being said: OneOfOne, it's nice to have you (and love) back.

OneOfOne: You can try the bootsplash patch, but I think it won't work. It looks like the fbcon changes in mm4 and mm5 killed it for now.

My problem was that I made a 2.6.7 kernel folder named 2.6.7-love5, and then got distracted, and when i came back I forgot I hadn't patched it.

There is an -mm5 patch for the non -sp2 bootsplash on bootsplash.de. I haven't tested them yet, though.

Do you have codepage 437 enabled in your kernel config?

It's in Filesystems --> Native Language Support

It's usually enabled by default, but it could have gotten turned off somehow.
