Are you going to be adding supermount to love-sources?

That's a pizza. Check the last love-sources thread. Any qestion about supermount results in the asker buying me a pizza.

As always, a BIG thank you for keeping these releases so up to date.
Great job. Compiling right now 
UPDATE: For some, still unknown, reason this kernel froze X at startup. I'm going back to 2.6.2-love1 until I can figure it out...

This seems to be breaking initrd when highmem is enabled:
initrd extends beyond end of memory (0x37feffc9 > 0x30400000)
disabling initrd
BTW, did you take out all nforce2 patches? (I haven't tried this kernel. I am still trying to find out whether previous love kernel is stable for me or not. It at least seems to be stable...) |

HI all,
I made a patch for the 2.6.2-love1 kernel (my first kernel patch ever) but now I see there's a new love release
Anyway the patch includes the au88x0 sound card drivers (actually I "ripped" it from the alsa-driver tar.gz )  , it's 44k, You have to
| Code: |
cd /usr/src/linux/sound
cat /path/to/au88x0.diff|patch -p1 --dry-run # and if it works
cat /path/to/au88x0.diff|patch -p1 # then
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
........................
|
But the problem is I don't have where to put it, so please tell me where I could put it (if you are interested in this patch)

The nforce issues have been fixed in mm (so he claims).

The latest reiser4 patches are from 2004.02.06. I have libaal 0.5 and reiser4progs 0.4 and it works fine here.

I'm afraid I don't think so... as the kernel froze kernel at X startup. I'm going to try disabling APIC, as that usually does the trick. I'll update as I see the result.
UPDATE: Well it appears everything is workin with APIC disabled... So I guess the nforce2 fixes didn't work. At least not for me...

I don't mind at all. I'll be glad to include it in future love-releases.

Nvidia is being a pain when it comes to there integrated stuff. The APIC mappings ae all wrong and they're not helping any. Do you need APIC?

@steel300
Where did you read that nforce issues are gone? I just saw a irq patch included. I don't think this alone will stabilize APIC.
At least Asus, MSI and Shuttle users should have a BIOS fix. |

12: 45002 IO-APIC-edge i8042

15: 27 IO-APIC-edge ide1
16: 0 IO-APIC-level Skystar2
18: 31849 IO-APIC-level libata
19: 54551 IO-APIC-level nvidia
20: 4897 IO-APIC-level ohci_hcd, eth0

looks much nicer. When leaving out usb, no interrupts are shared.  |

The APIC on the nforce boards are causing an unexplained shift in the IRQ numbers. The IRQ patch should have unshifted the APIC shifts.

| steel300, have you seen the nifty ionice feature of CFQ in -ck? If I missed something and love-sources includes this, you should be advertising it. I haven't played with it much, but it seems to work well. I got reiser4 to compile in 2.6.2-ck1, but adding elv-select is really a pain. It compiled after some work, but the resulting kernel froze at about the point where it checks the floppy drive(s). I didn't try to debug. I may have made some mistake manually fixing the failed patch hunks and compile-time errors. Perhaps you would have the C skills to integrate the ionice-able version of CFQ into -love. |
