There are so few changes from -10 that I'm not bothering with it until mm-sources are in Portage.

How long for an ebuild?

I know I could just get it from kernel.org, but I'm lazy and feel dirty using anything that doesn't come from Portage. ;)

Just take your test 10 ebuild and rename it changing the 10 to an 11, you could be nicer though, and find a kernel.org mirror and use that.

Is the preempt fixed in test11?

That would make me upgrade now.

I can't wait for this bad boy to go "official" and be released in Portage. I'm still a bit timid about running "unstable" code.

Why? It seems extremely stable to me... I'm, on test11 now and hope preempt is fixed...

I love it, it's a clear performance boost over 2.4, plus I can run the latest stuff...

I am not using the ~x86 flags since I had errors previously... :P But I am running test11 :)

if your system is not a production system, this kernel should be more than stable enough.
However even with a production System I would think about trying it out, due to the perfomance gains compared to the 2.4 series.

But, compiling a new kernel is fun. :-)

Yes compiling kernels is fun. I get the same feeling I got on christmas when I was around 10 and got to open all these nice presents. You know something good is on the way... at least most of the time :-)

Yeah, I can't tell any difference between test10 and test11 so far. The only thing I wish is that they would apply the bootsplash patch into the kernel, so I don't have to every time.

Maybe you should try gentoo-dev-sources? That's what I'm using... bootsplash and supermount added in. They'll be gentoo-sources when 2.6 goes official.

Wow, I knew there had to be some difference in the sources, I just hadn't figured out what yet. Thanks for the tip! That'll definitely be the next I try.

love-sources also includes bootsplash amongst other things.

Well, it looks like I have some testing to do. First, gentoo-dev, then love-, then who knows, I might like some of the mm patches. Or wait, maybe I can mix and match the patches that would affect me. Ah, you gentoo kernel people are crazy. I normally like choice, but it sure is time consuming merging three different sources you want to try out. Maybe I should start a poll- "Which 2.6 patchset is best?"

The mm patchsets are usually included in love-sources, so that saves you a bit of work :P

I've spent a good portion of today getting 2.6.0-test11 going, up from 2.4.20-r8 and so far so good. Got my video, sound and externel serial modem going - yay.

Only one bizarre problem, vi segmentation faults now (only vi so far), it's really strange... have tried re-emerging vi, no luck though. Small files don't seem to be affected???

Can someone else with 2.6.0-test11 try doing:
Code:
vi /usr/src/linux-beta/.config
or
vi /usr/src/linux/.config

see if it seg faults on you?

Works fine here.

vanilla 2.6.0-test11 (.config copied from test10, make oldconfig in test11)

Did you try moving your .vim* files around?

Now that 2.6 development has really 'settled down', I thought I'd give it a shot (with gentoo-dev-sources).

I've gotten to the point where it boots without many problems, but nvidia won't work with me. I remerged nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx and it does load the nvidia module. The X error tells me that it can't find /dev/nvidiactl :/ Any way I can solve this? Putting everything back in order, remerging nvidia-* with kernel 2.4.20 (gentoo-sources)makes it work again.

PARENA make sure the 2.6 kernel you are currently using is linked to /usr/src/linux otherwise building the nvidia drivers fail miserably.

Yeah, I know. Just to be clear, this is what I did:
Code:
cd /usr/src
rm linux
ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-test11-gentoo linux
cd linux
make menuconfig
---bla bla make the whole thing and stuff---
emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx (it emerged for the 2.6 kernel I saw, and it removed my old instance)


I even did a reboot after that, but to no avail. I compiled in devfs support, so that's not the problem either. I'm clueless here, this is usually good when playing with the 2.4 kernel. :/
