Question...If I download and install the ebuild, do I still need to apply the patch ? Or does the ebuild contain patch fixes? Just not very clear  Or is the patch for users using old nitro kernels ? |

The patches are handy for those not using Gentoo, but if you are, the ebuild does all the work.

Yeah, it works for me, what is the problem? |
No problems at all, I just wanted to hear someone got it working before trying. |

just to help:
I checked v4l patch (all in one) and seems to work, even if (I used the original gzip file) I had some audio trouble [caused from alsa I think.....
via chipset audio  ]
only issue patching with original file is some dvb files written outside linux
directory (I used -p0) |

No problem, I plan to (make the attempt to) continue hacking together alsa patches that apply cleanly to nitro. It's good practice for me, and makes less work for you.

| Just out of curiosity, has anyone got this to work with Reiser4 without lockups? I got some weird warnings compiling it (see my post on page 3) and it locks up on heavy disk access. |

i cant speak from personal experience but i think many other users of this kernel are using it flawlessly with reiser4

Works fine. Reiser4 all the way  However, I didn't get any warnings (except Repacker-thing but that's normal) |

| Thanks for the patchset Seppe. Btw, if your looking for new patches for nitro, perhaps you'd want to check out the new -ac patchset from kernel.org. The newest one is 2.6.9-ac4. The patchset (at least used to be some time ago) mostly IDE fixes. I've never tried it though so I don't know how it works. |

Using nitro-sources for the first time, and it works like a charm!!!
I am using:
- Preempt
- fbsplash
- vesafb-ng
- udev (well, I only deactivated devsd and emerged udev, you know my point)
- nVidia drivers
- alsa
- USB mass storage
- Supermount (looking forward to do this through udev, maybe next weekend).
It's just fine!!! Running way smooth here, I think a bit faster than gentoo-dev-sources (I was using 2.6.7-r8) and definetely faster using xcompmgr. All my devices work great.
Although I have a prob with fbsplash (this is a bit OT, ignore the question if you feel so). When I was using bootsplash on gentoo-dev-sources, the "silent" image only dropped to the verbose screen for a 1/2 second when loading the "bootsplash" init.d script, the last time for a second before KDM loading. Now, the "silent" image drops to verbose screen way before the "splash" init.d script inits. How can I avoid this?
Thank you in advance, man :D

I have very strange problems with nitro-sources:
it fails playing sound (using muine): i don't a get a "no sound issue", it seems like it plays a loop on the first 1/10 second of the song. Same problem when i play a video: sound looping on the first 1/10 sec, video ok for a moment then crash after 10 sec...
Even more strange: when i play music with xmms it's ok, tvtime's also ok for both video and sound 
I don't get any error msg when i launch apps from the console and my dmesg seems to be ok at the exception that i don't get any ouptout from snd_via82xx (but as it's loaded and it works for xmms&tvtime, i don't think it's the problem)
Any ideas??
-Edit: no ouptout from snd_via82xx with a working kernel: definitly not the pb |

Is anyone else having trouble getting packet writing to work with this kernel?
My cdwriter is /dev/hdd.
gungholady ~ # ls -al /dev/pktcd*
brw-r--r-- 1 root root 97, 0 Oct 25 06:10 /dev/pktcdvd0
/etc/conf.d/cdrw:
| Quote: | # List the CD-Rom drives you wish to enable packet writing on here.
# Some examples follow:
cdrw_list="/dev/hdd"
#cdrw_list="/dev/sr0 /dev/sr1 /dev/sr2"
#cdrw_list="/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /dev/cdroms/cdrom1"
#cdrw_list="/dev/cdroms/cdrom0" |
/etc/init.d/cdrw
| Quote: | #!/sbin/runscript
# Copyright 1999-2003 Gentoo Technologies, Inc.
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: $
depend() {
need localmount
}
start() {
DEVICES="hdd"
#${COUNT}=0
for i in ${DEVICES}
do
ebegin "Enabling CD-RW packet writing on /dev/${i}"
pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/${i}
#${COUNT}=${COUNT}+1
eend $? "Failed to enable packet writing on /dev/${i}."
done
}
stop() {
for i in ${DEVICES}
do
ebegin "Disabling CD-RW packet writing on /dev/${i}"
pktsetup -d /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/${i}
eend $? "Failed to disable packet writing on /dev/${i}"
done
}
|
Packet writing and udf filestystems are compiled into the kernel.
I do the following command and get the resulting error:
gungholady ~ # /etc/init.d/cdrw restart
* Enabling CD-RW packet writing on /dev/hdd ...
open packet device: No such device or address [ ok ]
I do have udftools emerged and it worked to format the cdrw disk. What am I doing wrong? |

I can't get ndiswrapper 0.11 to compile against this kernel... 0.10 works ok. Actually, 0.11 also wouldn't compile with 2.6.9_rc3-nitro2 I had before. I read on bugs.gentoo.org it would compile on vanilla and gentoo sources, but not on mm. Haven't read anything about ck, though.
Anyone got it working? |

Nitro has been running great for me all weekend. Its the first version I've used with noticable performance increase on my hardware.
I am using:
- Preempt
- fbsplash
- vesafb-ng
- udev
- alsa |

Thanks Seppe for the nitro-sources.
nitro-sources-2.6.9-nitro1 compile without problem and works great; but I can't
shutdown or poweroff since kernel-2.6.9.
I've been usuing the gentoo-dev-2.6.8-r11 just to be able to shutdown.
Here is my specs:
Mainboard: MS-6728
chipset: Intel 865PE.
Anyone having the same issue please report. |

.11 compiled without a hitch for me. Definately can't say the same about -mm patches though.

On my other box this seems to also be the case. The cure? Don't shutdown ;oD
So far I haven't been able to find anything to fix this. I'll maybe try a 2.6.8.1 kernel later this week, see if that works better at all. If anybody can help me to debug this to a point where I can make a bugzilla report it would be greatly appreciated, all that happens now is I hit shutdown and I get a blank screen.

I don't know why it's doing that to me... maybe staircase 9.0 related problem ? |
Here it also randomly locks up, switching back to 2.6.8-r6 once more...
Too bad the nitros are so unstable most of the time  |
Me too, my system hanged when i use my kmail. I already tried to re-emerge kdepim.
Can anyone help ? |

ALSA don't sounds good att all.
| Code: |
# lspci | grep audio
0000:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60)
|
using the via-82xx moduls its just wery muth noice, still OSS works fine - but I want ALSA. Is it a fird party ALSA driver or something like that that works better. |

ricce_n: What version of alsa are you using? You might want to try my alsa patch (on the first page of this thread I believe) and see if that works better.
