ebuild at http://www.sepi.be/nitro/2.6.8.1-nitro5/nitro-sources-2.6.8.1-r5.ebuild
Con Kolivas did some great work on Staircase8, it gives my system a huge performance boost (apps start up even faster than before).
Oh, and as you see, software suspend 2 is out, but dryre is working on an addon patch.
Talk to use at #nitro-sources (irc.freenode.net) if you need more help or if you have suggestions.
Good luck! _________________ nitro-sources, because between stable and experimental there exists only speed
Latest release I made: 2.6.13.2-nitro1 |

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.

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

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. |

I can verify that swsusp2 works. Thanks for the patch. Also, Code: | media-gfx/splashutils | works as advertised too.
Thanks for the kernel patch set. |

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
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 ? _________________ " Fast Lane Equals Fast Cars, Fast Corner Equals Fast Driver "

Yeah, go into Kernel Hacking and turn off the 4k stack. |

I don't know anything about Nvidia stuff, but I do know that if you want to use Reiser4, you have to turn off the 4k stack. |

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.
Code: |
merlin@seele ~ $ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1036136 171020 865116 0 5620 63512
-/+ buffers/cache: 101888 934248
