Is anyone else having the problem I describe here:

Basically, none of my memory is being used for buffers. As a result, a good number of programs are starting slowly & my mouse cursor jerks under heavy load.

I've just tried nitro-sources for the first time with this version, and I'm happy to report that I get a small speed-boost as well as no loss of stability.

I plan to try some other optimisations pretty soon, but thanks Seppe, for the nitro patchset.

I couldn't wait for seppe to come out of hibernation, so I whipped up a new version of nitro which applies on top of 2.6.9. It has the following patches:

Hi all!

I just emerged nitro4 and I'm attempting to configure it on my Athlon XP. Problem is I can't find the options to enable Reiser4: I tried both make menuconfig and make config, but the Reiser4 options just do not appear on the list.

I checked my .config and I have none of the following lines, which other people positng in this thread seem to have:

If you had serached for it in the this threads you had find the issue.. Disable this in the kernel... Kernel hacking >> disable Use 4Kb for kernel stacks instead of 8Kb and resierfs4 is there

Nitro4 does not seem to work on my laptop. It boots just fine but when the X server starts all I get is a black screen (not even the gray screen). Using the gentoo-dev-sources the X server does start correctly. I'm using the Xorg-x11 6.7.0-r2 server with the ati-drivers and GDM. Does anybody know a solution for this???

Also quite disappointing that swsusp2 doesn't work with the ati-drivers. I want to use it to quickly shutdown/restart my laptop when I need to swich trains when traveling to work. Using the radeon driver will increase the average load on my laptop and stopping and starting will also be a very high load for it. I need to minimize the load to save as much power as possible so I can work on the battery the whole trip.

Correction: my X server is working again. I was missing some things in my kernel config. It now correctly finds my touchpad. Didn't see the error message because of a problem between the radeonfb and fglrx drivers.

The vesafb-tng driver however does not seem to work and results in some kind of error message...

I have found the problem why my MSI mainboarded PC won't shutdown without powering off since kernel 2.6.9-xxx.

IT S A WRONG DSDT BIOS VERSION FROM MSI! :twisted:

I tried the HowTo from WIKI "Howto Fix Common ACPI Problems" and found
the hint. No Errors while reompiling my dsdt but my MSI DSDT makes some
OS specific checks for:

"Microsoft Windows"
"Microsoft Windwos NT" and
"Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition".

If none of these above Opration Systems are matching the bios is using a fallback mode.

This mode seems to be without good SMP+ACPI poweroff issues.

Are there people here who uses this kernel with IPW2200 driver? Mine give errors. Or will there come a fix for it?

Hrmm. seppe still hasn't gotten back to me yet. I suppose if I don't hear anything back from him by Wednesday or Thursday, I'll post it here since I've been running it with perfect uptime since Saturday.

Don't get your hopes up though. This will be even more experimental than the normal nitro-sources.
