has anyone succesfully built a love kernel for x86_64 (amd64)?

or for ppc_32 (G4)...?

Yes, I've tried it on AMD64.
But this kernel won't compile :-(

That's what it looks like:

I'm getting exactly the same error here.

Great kernel. Thanks once again.

I've never been too bothered about bootsplash but now its working it really adds a nice touch . Makes the system look really sharp. Which of course it always was with love kernels , it just now looks that way as well.

GeForce nvidia now seems perfect as well.

The one remaining bug-bear is my USB canoscan locking up but I'm not sure that is a kernel issue. I will probably endup just buying another scanner in view of the time its costing me. Goes a bit against the grain giving up but my time could be better spent.

Off to try Nick's shed. (my kernel line is getting a bit busy, soon I'll need a bigger screen to edit grub.conf !!!)

Great work Steel300, glad you got bootsplash to play ball.

Where is the reiser4 section under fs in menuconfig?
Do I have to enable somthing to get it?

I ran the ebuild for this love and done a `make oldconfig` from
a lokean2.6.5 config, did this removed the reiser4 options?

ty, rel.

I could not get nvidia module to load with this kernel

invalid module format, even on 5536,

This is how i fixed it

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge modutils module-init-tools

recompiled love kernel

then it worked

the standard stable version did not work

@steel300 Thanks for this great kernel. I just went through a 3 hours process of converting all my partitions to reiser4. Man, I never knew it was this fast. Everything working fine *still*, hope it stays that way!
Keep the good work up buddy !

regards,

I'm wondering if you wouldn't be willing to add swsusp2 to love sources... it's definitely superior to the other 2...

The versions that made my nvidia modules load are

module init tools version 3.0-r2
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge module-init-tools
/usr/portage/sys-apps/module-init-tools/module-init-tools-3.0-r2.ebuild

and not

/usr/portage/sys-apps/module-init-tools/module-init-tools-3.0.ebuild

modutils
----------

version 2.4.26

and not
version 2.4.25

Frogot to mention the first time: thanks to PickeledOnion, that fix for the win4lin worked for me.

I don't know about this bootsplash thing, though...

teedon, I have seen the howto; I had it working before (on 2.6.3-gentoo-r1,) and the only thing I've really changed is the kernel.

snekiepete, removing bootsplash from the runlevel gets rid of the oops, but disables bootsplash entirely. Leaving it on causes the oops on bootup, but it still sets the framebuffer images right on the other consoles, (as well as the first one if I switch to another and back,) and it works as expected on shutdown. The oops won't hurt anything if I leave it, will it?

I'll try recompiling the kernel, and reemerging bootsplash, etc, and see if anything works...

Everyone seems to be exited about big speed increase with Reiser4 but I get slightly slower results.

https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=159749&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=reiser4&start=25

Is this normal? Maybe there's a better test that shows performance increase.

What is the best reiser4 setting , long or short keys?

Preliminary tests with a kernel untar suggest no real speed diff, what's the best choise.

Since the two are binary incompatible I would like to set off in the right direction.

Thx.

Same error that I get, makes this kernel impossible to use on my laptop ... *cry*

Searched around on forums and on the kernel bugzilla, but haven't found anything related to this ... did the newest kernel break i830 drm support? (I have an 855GM card onboard, btw) ... I am sad, I want my laptop to have all the love my desktop has =P

Not directly, no.

You need to copy whatever is on the partition you want to convert to another parition, using tar or cp -a (e.g. cp -a /home /backup), unmount the partition, convert to reiser4 and copy back the original info.

What do I miss out on by not using DRM? I mean, I don't do any gaming or anything like that ... I guess I'm kinda fuzzy on what it does, since my desktop uses an Nvidia driver and I don't have to do this drm stuff =)
