Here is the swsusp2 patch. I don't use it, so I can't test it to see if it works correctly. I did test compile scenarios and didn't have a problem. Just apply it on top of nitro5 if you need it.

patch-2.6.8.1-nitro5-swsusp2

Strictly an updated version of software suspend. It has more functionality than the one build into the kernel.

Thanks!

How to use portage of gentoo.de in connection with the official portage:

Methode I:
SYNC="rsync://rsync16.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-merged"
into your /etc/make.conf.

Methode II:

1. echo "app-portage/gentoolkit-dev ~ARCH" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

ARCH... set your arch.

2. emerge gentoolkit-dev

3. /etc/gensync/gentoo-de.syncsource:

id="gentoo-de"
description="gentoo.de Portage Overlay"
rsync="rsync://rsync.gentoo.de/gentoo-de-ebuilds"
// !!! set overlay for your needs !!!!
overlay="/root/overlay/"

4. run gensync gentoo-de

You have now the portage from gentoo.de in the overlay dir.
Also run this command to update the portage.

And here is the link to the WebCVS: http://www.gentoo.de/viewcvs/gentoo-x86/

NOTE: WebCVS needs some time to sow the fresh ebuilds, i think about 30 minutes.

this kernel is working great, better than the mm based sources. The ck's are just much more responsive and way faster at loading, starting up. I turned off Pre-emptive and I think it helps even more.

BUT! Nvidia-driver is broken with this release, and the last release too. When I do a startx I get only a black screen. On the last release I even tried patching it with the Nvidia-diff patch.

The default Xorg NV is holding me off for now, but I want to play UT2004. Anyways, you have converted me from Love to Nitro!

hmm.. im experiencing something weird here.. when i first rebooted, the mem used is very little and instead the swap is used heavily. I dunno what might causes this. After 15 min of use, the system starts to crawl :cry:

i reboot back to my old kernel 2.6.8-nitro1 , and everything goes normal. swap is not used at all and instead the memory is being use. anyone have any ideas ?

I don't know about Nvidia, but with the newer reiser4 snapshots you cannot compile it with 4k stacks.

I have the same problem as fro5tbite.

It seems that it loads everything to the swap partition so the hd is busy all the time even though I have lots of free mem left.
