It's the new CFQ. I'm thinking of getting rid of that for now.

I was also thinking the same. It might also win us some friends from x86_64, I think it's breaking their compiles (although it looks like just missing syscalls and shouldn't be a big deal to fix).
Is there anyone that actually cares about the extra IO features? |

I suggest dont release too many love sources
or test it on a small group then release it here public a kernel is too important to install broken stuff |

I'd say it's up to the end user to decide which kernel he wants, either he wants a stable one or tries the bleeding edge at his own risk

love-sources ARE bleeding edge (for the most part). That is the original purpose of them. If you don't want it, use something else. That's what choice is for.

|
|
Hello Everyone,
I decided to test drive the love sources to see by myself why are they so praised on the forums. So far I've managed to compile and boot without problems, but I wanted to take advantage of the High Refresh Rate patch for frame buffer, but it doesn't seem to work.
I want to use Bootsplash plus vesafb at resolution of 1024x768@85Hz. So far Bootsplash works at the resolution I want, but only at 60 Hz.
Any ideas were is the problem coming from?
Below I include the result of the the script to set the refresh rates and my grub conf:
| Code: |
# The contents of this file were generated automatically.
# Please do not modify them, unless you are sure what you're doing.
# Format: HorizontalSyncTotal, HorizontalSyncStart, HorizontalSyncEnd
# VerticalSyncTotal, VerticalSyncStart, VerticalSyndEnd
# Flags (0 = hsync+, vsync+; 12 = hsync-, vsync-; 8 = hsync-, vsync+, 4 = hsync+, vsync-)
# Pixel Clock Rate (Hz)
# Vertical Refresh Rate (in units of 0.01 Hz)
#define VIDEO_VESAFB_CRTC_DATA
# 320x200 @ 85Hz

This is my grub.conf:
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 30
fallback 1
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Linux Bootsplash (2.6.4 love-sources)
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.4-love1 root=/dev/hda2 vga=0x517 splash=silent video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr
initrd (hd0,0)/initrd-lintoo-1024x768
title=Linux (Old Kernel)
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/kernel.backup root=/dev/hda2 |

you need to chmod +x scripts/vesa_modeline_gen.pl
anwere the questions, then recompile 
I am currently running with bootsplash enabled on my 1280x1024@85 vesa frambuffer
hope this helps

| I thought about trying the love-sources ebuilds. I can't get the Win4Lin patches to work with either the love-sources nor the mm-sources. I can get the patches to apply manually to ck-sources. When I try to manually apply to the love-sources, there are errors when making the modules. Looks like I'm stuck with either the development-sources for which it applies without errors or the ck-sources. |

evil-sources has the win4lin patch included and i have a tracker bug on http://bugzilla.andrewnelson.org (bug #2) because i don't own win4lin, all i know is that the win4lin code compiles cleanly.

| Win4lin did not work neither did my bootsplash. I used the same configuration that I use for the ck sources with which win4lin and bootsplash work. |

ok, might want to file a bug report with the wolk project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/wolk) because they are the people behind the patch.
