2.6.2_rc2-love3 aka "Poos Liks A Buffalo"

steel300 · Veteran Joined: 10 Jul 2003 Posts: 1155

Now we're back on track. This will be the third -love release in two days. Man, I need to get a life. Anyways, here's the notes for this release. I was able to get evms support added in. The reiserfs acls are very challenging though. I fixed support for the siimage 3152 drivers. There's a new vm-swappiness patch as well as new LIRC stuff.

*update* apart from those badness warnings,
which i disabled with some help, it seems to
work fine for me.

thanks

Ohh... and it's the third time today :lol:

EDIT:
I still appear to get warnings in dmesg regarding sched.c

Nice Steel300!

I'm on it, gonna mirror it.
Can't wait to try it out on my new install.

compiling now, good luck on the reiserfs acl patches hope you figure out whats wrong, sad that the sysfs class for vc devices had to be reversed because i use udev now and this might present a problem, i've applied the patch by hand because this patch hasn't presented a problem for me at all so far.

*EDIT: *update* compile done with the vc sysfs class patch and its running fine, but it may have something to do with the fact that i use udev and not devfs, just posting my experience with the patch.

kernel/built-in.o(.init.text+0x9b5): In function `sched_init':
: undefined reference to `spin_lock_dont_check'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

on AMD 64

Well, finally back on love-sources!
I think Steel will be relieved of me stopping to nag about compilation failures ;-)

@Q: Can't confirm this, AMD64 here, compiled fine.

steel300, after you figure out how to fix patch/compile problems, do you edit the patches to patch/compile cleanly? If so, I would like a broken-out directory with the fixed versions of your patches so when 2.6.2 comes out, I can patch it with what I want and not worry about potential -mm problems.

Thanks again steel!

Anyone else experiencing freezes with bootsplash?
When booting with splash=silent, the system hangs at hotplug.
Could udev be held responsible?
On the other hand everything works fine with splash=none...

@Steel300

Wow another release, I think my T-birds gonna burn up.. Hey, I spotted this today, anything worth getting excited about? http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/1/29/230

[update]: Well, I thought as I was compile the new love, I thought I'd stick in this bit of Nick's for a laugh.. Applied almost cleanly apart for one easy hand edit.. Anyways, all seems good -nice and speedy, but I don't know if this patch has anything to do with it - What the hell, live dangerously :wink:
