2.6.10-ck1-nitro1 "Less Verbose"

Gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.9-r12 breaks the nvidia drivers on my box (just finished install lol), so i guess I'll be trying this... my last working setup consisted of 2.6.9-nitro4, so maybe this one'll work?

machine in question is the one named Tidus in my sig.

@ ^ : My make oldconfig fails at the exact same point. I'm not able to compile, either.

[kind of off-topic]

I like the work that is being done with these nitro patchcollections. However, it still looks like a lot of trial and error work. A forum thread on the gentoo forum for every release and a strong dependancy on the 2 people (Seppe, Darckness) that currently defined the collection of patches that make up a nitro release.

Would it be an idea to formalize the nitro activities somewhat? For instance by defining it as a project and thus getting some facilities within Gentoo or by signing up at SourceForge or a simular site. This would create a formal home for the nitro sources so everybody can find it and the current ebuilds (and patches) easilly and allow concrete discussion etc. on dedicated mailing lists.

Just a suggestion. I have no experience in organising this so I don't know how easy this would be but as a "nitro user" I would find a permanent home for the nitro-sources very handy. What does the rest of you think about this?

I'm not really sure what's going on with I2C, but my theory is that something in the ck patch broke it somehow.

For those of you who aren't having luck with alsa-1.0.7, I've posted the alsa update patch that I use, so try reversing it (`patch -p1 -R < alsa-1.0.7.patch`in your /usr/src/ directory).

I'll include that iteraid fix in the next version. The SK-98xx driver error is somewhat puzzling as well; I can't find those two functions in that source file ANYWHERE. Make sure the md5sum of your patch file is the same as the one I posted on the first page.

there is a -ac patch!
it works with the nitro-sources for me, i only had to manually patch 3 files

rommel · Posted: Tue Dec 28, 2004 8:45 pm Post subject:

well morph-sources work also, i added mouse polling to them and am runing bonnie++ now... so i am guessing its the updated alsa driver messing with via82xx for me in mm and now nitro.. i'll try reversing and let you know if the error abates. as for sk98lin... i am using this driver and its worked in every source ive booted so far. anyone having an issue with it might make mrproper on the src dir then reconfigure your kenrel and try compiling it again.

edit:
well it might be something i am missing but that alsa patch doesnt reverse cleanly... so i guess i'll stick with morph and see what comes next.

still cannot emerge alsa-driver 1.07
use this patch
http://kem.p.lodz.pl/~peter/cko/fixes/2.6.10-cko1-950-alsa-fixes-already-in-bk
can compile alsa using kernel default

Alright, I'm working on the next nitro. It's taking me a little while because I'm trying to get a big update to reiser4 and some extra alsa fixes in. With my luck, Con Kolivas will probably release the next ck just as I finish.

ETA: ~1 day if all goes well and I have enough time.

This is kind of off-topic, but is there any reason why this kernel is so fscking slow on my computer?

2.6.10-nitro1
boot time: 1:58.12
shutdown time: 0:32.06
x start time: 0:05.40 (still using twm until kde compiles)

2.6.9-gentoo-r12
boot time: 1:36.50
shutdown time: 0:34.31 (

)
x start time: 0:05.34

i'm not griping, because 2.6.9-gentoo-r12 has problems with my videocard, but why the really slow boot times?

only 22 seconds difference.

a logn dhcp, no connection to your printer with cups/hpjo, no unmounting the boot--partititon,....

My boot-time is 25 seconds!
The longest thing is mounting the partitions.

x-start time ...
well, when u compiling s.th..... it could take more time

search in the Documents/Hot-To's, there are some threads, wich tell how u can optimize your boot-time

You can also try the morp-sources

well the new morph-sources release added alsa-1.07 and via82xx works with it... so i am not sure what is wrong with nitro1 or mm and this driver. seems odd since both nitro and morph i think are basically ck.

is this kernel faster with Desktop applications? What should I enable?

I don't think that benchmarks on nautilus are realistic; I tried:
