How 'bout us Arch users? Will zen-sources be showing up in AUR?

Thanks.

if someone commits while you clone the git repo, it fails.

All the squashfs-lzma problems have been fixed. There were some problems with headers location and some missing files.

Are you two (Waninkoko and rmh) accepting suggestions for patches to include? If so, an interesting patch (though it may need some changes to work in a current kernel) is the Fortuna CSPRNG (/dev/random) patch. It adds an option to replace the default Linux RNG with a stronger (and about 5x faster) RNG that uses the CryptoAPI for its ciphers and hashes instead of implementing them (incorrectly) itself. It also seems to be tunable (!), allowing you to select the cipher and hash it uses via /proc/sys/kernel/random/{cipher,digest}_algo. The latest version is for 2.6.12, but AFAIK the CryptoAPI and Character APIs haven't changed all that much. The homepage is at http://jlcooke.ca/random/ .

OTOH, if it's too much trouble, just ignore this.

Vmware-modules 1.0.0.15-r1 refuse to compile. This is the version that is pulled by vmware-server.

I like to add some experiences with 2.6.24-rc3-zen0:

1.
On two different computers (AMD Athlon, Intel Core2Duo) I get a kernel panic message during booting about APIC. In both cases 'noapic' as kernel parameter helps. But I never got this problem before with e.g. 2.6.23-kamikaze5 or 2.6.24-rc2-kamikaze1.

Any reason for this behaviour?

2.
As reported with 2.6.24-rc2-kamikaze1 now I also get the same problem with 2.6.24-rc3-zen0 after booting of Core2Duo:
clocksource tsc unstable
clocksource acpi_pm installed

2.6.23-kamikaze5 and 2.6.24-rc2 (without kamikaze) have started without this problem.

Any reason?

Thx for any help.

My experiences with the -kamikaze sources have been limited, I have only tried 2.6.23-kamikaze5 ("Vipernicus") before. That version ran nice, pretty good responsiveness.
Unfortunately I had some issues with this kernel, and I'm wondering if these may be gone in newer versions:

- My P4 (Prescott) SMP cpu's aren't detected properly.. Their speed is 3GHz, but sometimes with -kamikaze they are detected at 2.3GHz. Random which cpu is lower each boot.
- VMWare boots WinXP very slow.

These issues aren't there with the gentoo .22 sources.
