Link to git posted above doesn't work- all I get is:

It has changed again to 'git://zen-sources.org/kernel/zen-stable.git', just alter your .git/config accordingly.

kernelOfTruth,
Thanks for the info. In my post above (2nd edit- maybe you missed it)), zen-stable wound up at 717mb.
However, all the 2.6 kernel.org sources I've ever used (hundreds) are all around 400mb, even patched heavily.

The only reason I used git clone was because this was the first time using zen git on this box.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but your post above seems more complicated that I thought this stuff was going to be.

I thought I just did the git clone routine the first time, and then for future zen-x versions on that base (e.g. linux-2.6.31, or whatever) I just needed to do a git pull in that directory to update the zen version, and then recompile.

That's wrong?

I've never read anything in "zen" threads about having to maintain a second "offical kernel.org overlay."

@kernelOfTruth,
As always, I benefit greatly from all your detailed and informative posts over the years, and always appreciate your willingness to spend time helping us Gentoo users. I'm sure I speak for a lot of people on this forum.
Thanks again!

curiosity is killing me (

) so, after having tried bfs303 with zen-stable (all ok), I tried new zenunstable

I've been following the Zen Sources for couple of month's now ... And I just want so say thanks for such a great contribution... Zen stable ... has been working great with BFS on my Core2.
On earlier releases I had some issue's with reboot's and shutdowns & BFS instability. Since the recent git pull and a rebuild... Its stable, and is a pleasure tweaking to my hearts content.

I noticed on gitweb that the zen-overlay is missing, and from a recent layman -S ...? Am I assuming their will be no more zen-overlay with ebuilds..?

hmm, current zen-stable git (5692deda2c65ef19b303c96c8524dcacb310bc70) locks up when luks is about to open my partition. no message on screen, no kernel panic.

strange. fortunately i have -zen1 as a fallback, which is surprisingly stable (for me).

does anyone else have similar behavior?
