Warning
Nitro-sources is not well tested, things could always go wrong. My advice is to keep a second stable and bootable kernel image ready in your boot manager for 'just in case'.

apologies if this is a duncehead question, but (in theory) should ck-sources, and thus nitro-sources, be AMD64 compatible? If there's not a specific reason why not, then I'd be happy to run extensive tests (in a few days; Hurricane Frances delayed only one part to my new a64 box (GAAA)). |

Very nice release - everything works perfectly and nice and resposive under high cpu load and disk activity.
Cheers seppe
[edit]
Umm, spoke too soon. After 10 mins of active use (just testing it) all keyboard input stopped (I noticed in another forum I was replying to that my sentence stopped hlaf way through), opened a terminal & open-office and indeed, all keyboard activity had stopped. couldn't three fingure out and the F keys I had setup stopped working.
When I right clicked and tried to exit fluxbox, got a blank screen and solid lock. Only the magic Sys key worked to reboot.
Most odd, Almost the same thing as last time (except it was my mouse and not the keyboard). I will investigate to see what may be causing it in my setup.
Oh well, back to 2.6.7-ck5. |

If I didn't add that add_kobject_get_path.diff, then I wouldn't compile here with kernel-events enabled. This patch (add kobject) makes a function which is needed by kernel-events, and which couldn't be found when I left out this patch (add kobject get path).
Removing add_kobject_get_path.diff
Do this only if compilation fails with 'kobject' stuff in the error. This error:
Code: |
lib/lib.a(kobject.o)(__ksymtab+0x8): undefined reference to `kobject_get_path'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
|
1. Download add_object_get_path.diff
2. Go to your nitro3 directory and reverse it:
Code: |
cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-rc1-nitro3
patch -p1 -R < /path/to/add_kobject_get_path.diff
|
3. done!
Now you should disable kernel-events, because I think it won't work without this patch. It doesn't work for me so ..
Oh the problem with nitro2 was 1g_lowmem2, I replaced it with the normal 1g_lowmem and it all works fine here now. _________________ nitro-sources, because between stable and experimental there exists only speed

First time nitro user, compile went fine, but during boot total messup:
After "Mounting local filesystems..." suddently my screen starts filling up with the "%" sign, it keeps going and going as if that key would stuck on my keyboard. The boot-process is going on normally, but I can't log in of course this way, due to the "%" signs, which are still comming up at the login prompt. Besides this problem, the keyboard is definitely working, and also I can not enter anything of use, I still can control+alt+del to reboot. Pretty weird, isn't it?
I used the same .config file, like I do with 2.6.9-rc1-love1 and 2.6.9-rc1-mm3, but those are fine.
This machine has nforce2 chipset, using reiser4, and it's a MS Wireless Natural Multmedia Keyboard.
Anyone else experiencing such a strange keyboard behavior?
Have to go back to 2.6.9-rc1-love1, until a solution is found. _________________ Las torturas mentales de la CIA |

Working here!! Very fast!! And very smooth!!
As we say here in Brazil: redondo!!
Edit:
Ooops... maybe a problem with the kernel or with me.
free reports tha the memory is never been cleaned (like garbage collected in java)....
I'll try with older kernel...

what video mode did you select in vesa-tng?
Nice kernel, compiles cleanly with me.. The harddrive activity problem I had a few releases ago seems to be gone. Hope it stays out
I don't really notice a speedbump over the mm patchset. Maybe under some higher loads. I'm going to see if it holds up _________________ If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit. |
