So what's new?
All latest CK's patches to optimize this kernel for desktop use
omnibook
cdfs
acx
reiser4 is updated (yes yes, the latest snapshot!)
packet writing support for cdrw's
software suspend 2
orinocco monitor patch
intel pro wireless (centrino) drivers
But there is a little problem ...
The ebuild doesn't work 
ebuild is at http://www.sepi.be/nitro/2.6.8.1-nitro2/nitro-sources-2.6.8.1-r2.ebuild but it's broken
The error log can be found at http://www.sepi.be/nitro/2.6.8.1-nitro2/patch-2.6.8.1-nitro2.err
If anyone knows how to fix this, let me know please.
So if you wanna install this release, you have to patch it manually without portage. Here is how to do this:
How to install this:
1. Download the 2.6.8.1 linux kernel at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.8.1.tar.bz2
2. extract linux-2.6.8.1.tar.bz2 to /usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1-nitro2
3. Download the nitro sources patch set at http://www.sepi.be/nitro/2.6.8.1-nitro2/patch-2.6.8.1-nitro2.bz2
4. cd to /usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1-nitro2/ which contains the 2.6.8.1 kernel
5. patch it (make sure that you are in /usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1-nitro1 which contains the 2.6.8.1 linux kernel you've downloaded):
| Code: |
bzcat /path/to/patch-2.6.8.1-nitro2.bz2 | patch -p1
|
6. done, now configure & compile it, I assume you know how to do this.
Warning
Please note that this patchset is very experimental. There are 49 different patches in and not everything is tested well, so stuff could be broken!
Thanks to
Dryre, Lith, DaMouse, PickledOnion and all the other people from #nitro-sources for helping me me with swsusp2, reiser4, and testing.
Sorry again for the broken ebuild, butI really don't know what's wrong with it. It looks like it patches with -p0 instead of -p1 for some reason. If you know a solution for this, let me know please.
Enjoy

Working perfectly here. Nice job.
Oh, and as for the ebuild not working: trying to patch at -p0 is normal for epatch. It does a dry-run at every p-level, and then patches at the one that succeeds. Scroll down a bit in that log, and you find | Quote: | Attempting Dry-run:
cmd: patch -p1 --dry-run -f < /var/tmp/portage/nitro-sources-2.6.8.1-r2/work/patches/1/patch-2.6.8.1-nitro2.patch

I got that working now. I configured from scratch, I guess 2.6.8.1 didn't like 2.6.8, and development-sources-2.6.8.1 compiled fine but I now have a new set of errors /w nitro (.tmp_vmlinux1):

Same thing with my second laptop, but the problem is, i cannot see the logs before the stack dumps. I told seppe about the problems but i have no idea why he released it. I did get this Nitro2 to work tho, 2.6.8.1-nitro2
It's pretty nice but it's buggy.. Things like if you don't enable swsusp2, things break. The vesafb-tng is broken if you don't enable it, etc..
Here's my config, this one does compile and boot:
Here
Seppe, perhaps you should pull this until we fix more things.. I made a new patch that addresses a few of these issues but I never got the chance to talk to you.
This is lith btw, jewps is my forum nickname |
