Nothing official from OneofOne or Steel300, but it's on the main mirrors.

Just waiting for it to compile here, but I can see that reiser4 is in, win4lin is in, don't know if it will compile cleanly or not yet though.

EDIT: bootsplash is messed up, but win4lin compiles fine, nvidia is okay.

Could somebody say what has changed except the update to mm4?
Are VM settings back?

(Currently using love4, just switched to Reiser4.
CFQ + Nick's patch = great (tested), but with Reiser4 = hyper)

I'm compiling as I type...

It failed for me on ext3 with the following:

Okay, well, despite all, I don't recommend that anyone switches to this love. Supermount works, sort of, but it borks with winex. Bootsplash is borked, nvidia works, win4lin works, reiser4 is there, don't know if it works though, and ext3 is borked, so, unless you really, really need win4lin, don't switch.

Do you know if mouse side buttons work? That's my one annoyance with love4, I love reiser4 but not having side buttons is annoying...

Can't help you there, I don't use reiser4.

No, reiser4 is fine in love4, it's the side buttons that don't work (there's been a problem with them for quite some time, working then not working).

Misunderstood the post, sorry, well, regardless, I only have a crappy two button mouse.

Works for me. Just had to re-emerge nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel, along with linux-wlan-ng for my wireless. Bootsplash, and nvidia work great. Can we "Enable 4KStacks" yet? or do we have to wait for an nVidia fix to be released?

Bootsplash works fine on your end? Weird.... Mine doesn't work, but then as soon as the system "Setting console bootsplash" goes, it sort of works. 4k stacks will not work with nvidia, it is a problem on nvidia's end AFAIK, and if it is ever fixed, I have no idea.

And what would be the point of that? That would slow down the releases!

Just compiled, the ext3 seems to be broken, the bootsplash and win4lin works fine.

hmmmmm, anyone else having reiser4 probs with this release....?
i get a kernel panic at boot telling me reiser4 support for small keys is needed... so i think, damn, did i put that option off...? but i didn't, it still was large keys in menuconfig... i even tried setting this to small keys, but got the same problem...
on 2 other machines of me, i don't have this problem with love5.. i even deleted the whole sources, make a fully new .config, but every time the same kernel panic..

edit: just thought of something -> those 2 other machines are still reiser3..

) i definitely need some sleep...

so anyone else using reiser4 with love5?

Reiser4 does not work for me either. I get the same error telling me that only small keys are available.
Love4 works without any problem though.

Same error here. I ll try to switch to love4 if you say it works.

I compiled it and tried it running with Reiser4 but it was unable to mount my Reiser4 partitions. Kinda f00ked when ur /usr is reiser4

So back to -love4 for me
