 Posted: Wed Jan 15, 2020 6:37 am Post subject: XanMod kernel ebuild |
 |
|
Is anybody interested in testing the XanMod kernel on gentoo? It recently got some good press...
I hacked together a working ebuild for the long-term support (4.19.x) series, but I guess renaming the ebuild and adjusting the xanmod version variable should make it work for the latest stable kernel (5.4.x), too.
Regards |

I am going to test it and post back if i have problem .this sounds like a good gaming/Desktop kernel for my Area51m. it would be nice if you release a
5.4.x right away.

Seems to work quite well. Made my own repository, used old kernel configuration with olddefconfig and compiled it without having any errors. However, I don't know how much I'm going to benefit from this. I haven't had any issues yet. CPU doesn't seem to spike unlike on CK patched kernels 
Here are my specs for my modded Dell Optiplex 7040 SFF if they're needed for anything.
| Code: |
CPU: Intel Core i5-6500
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti LP (4GB)
|
Thanks for the ebuild!

| No MuQSS? Seems like a glaring omission for any desktop-oriented kernel. |

I just want to report that my computer is more responsive than ever with xanmod kernel. Old i3-2100 6gb ram, lto-overlay.
My kernel was ck-sources before.
EDIT: What is your experience? |

First problem i got now with xanmod-sources. I bought a nvidia 1050 card and its so lag with xanmod-sources. I end up with gentoo-sources again and its so smooth and good. I dont know what cause this i have almost same config with both kernels.
I tried everything with xanmod but its just lag, desktop and games.
Any thoughts?
EDIT: Games is good enough but desktop plasma is awful. |

Hi,
i saw you are still providing the newest XanMod Kernel at your overlay.
I tried to install it following the instructions at the Gentoo Handbook for a manual config.
But when i build it, i ran into issues i was not able to resolve.
Now i compiled everything with genkernel all ... This worked and i booted into my Gentoo and it says i am on XanMod Kernel now. Am i? Or do i have just the name ?
What i've done:
1. emerge sys-kernel/xanmod-sources
2. make olddefconfig
3. genkernel all
was this a proper approach ? |

| I've been using the xanmod-sources from the src_prepare-overlay overlay. Currently using 5.10.12, works great. |

that approach works . but if you have a working kernel :
| Code: |
make olddefconfig && make && make modules_install && make install
|
will do the trick
EDIT: if you like to try xanmods own .config . just head to https://github.com/xanmod/linux.git to take his .config and try it out.

i am glad to hear it works for you as i am maintaining sys-kernel/* with a good friend at src_prepare-overlay . on my own overlay "hedmos-overlay" i have IUSE="experimental" patches for the cacule scheduler but ATM the patch is old and cannot recommend to use it. |

Oh! Thank you for your work, it's been buttery smooth. I'm really looking foward to xanmod-5.11 and the Ryzen schedutil work that's in there. |

No, it probably was not.
Please pay attention to genkernel's output. It probably did not use whatever you expected from `make olddefconfig`, instead it probably used genkernel's default kernel config.
Please read man page and learn about "--kernel-config" parameter.

Now on 5.11.3, absolutely no complaints. Although I noticed that despite USE=symlink, /usr/src/linux is not getting symlinked when installing xanmod-sources. |
