| I've had a nitro-sources machine up for 90 days once, but then something crashed. Not sure what. It ran the 2.6.12-rc2-nitro1 or whatever that was. |

Hey, nitro on FC4 is sweet (as it is on Gentoo  ) |

It's out, see in this thread. Please note that it's still under testing status. Reiser4 is still untested and so it's always possible that 2.6.13.1-nitro1 will totally b0rk up your Reiser4 partition. Watch the thread for updates .. when the "STATUS: TESTING" leaves in the threadtitle, then it should be safe to use Reiser4.
Have fun

I have to say that this still is my favorite nitro release. Works perfectly since July.

Ditto here. I used newer kernels for a while but I came back to this. This one just works so well!

Yes, this is one of the best nitro releases so far.
Hope there will be a release as good as this in "near" future.

| Hasn't anyone looked at acid-sources by Tiger yet? It's on the forums and my laptop is faster after upgrading to it. Everything works nicely. |

Yes I had, but I got extreme hangups during high harddisk io and/or cpu load, which I never got with nitro. So I switched back to this goodie here.

__NEVER__ use acid with a siply copied-over nitro config , this helps out with most issues...

What's wrong on using the old config from the old kernel, whatever it is that old kernel?

config options present in both will
get selected like in the old one and stuff compiled because of this might interfere with other things ONLY in the new one, which would also get selected/not selected by user/defconfig.
Ever wondered if single patches from ck would act the same as in a fully ck-based kernel? This is another aspect and the answer is NOT ALWAYS.
cheers

| I didn't copy my config, but I had boot mounted which had nitro-sources configs in it and acid sources took the settings. Is that just as bad or did it adjust them? Things seem to be running smoothly for me. |

| Use the old config. Just run 'make oldconfig' before you run make. |

I've been using this kernel since it first came out until this afternoon. I changed it for 2.6.14-gentoo, since there was a weird kernel panick resulting from an amarok + external hdd combination while using nitro. If I used xmms instead of amarok, it was fine, but using amarok for a while caused a hardlock (as hard as they get...). After the 10th time or so, I decided to try to change the kernel rather than the player... Amarok's been playing for an hour and a half now and it seems fine... Keeping fingers crossed...
Sorry that this post isn't horribly informative, but I don't understand what happened either and I don't really want to continue reproducing the issue. Btw, that's the only issue I've had with this nitro release.

I have a similar setup (amarok+external hdd), and I've never had lockups (well, amarok locks up quite frequently...)
Alas, I had to move to a 'nother kernel version, as this one didn't allow lirc to work with my my 5-dollar cheapo remote that I found. Also, not having a new enough inotify for new versions of beagle and kat was kinda sad.
I've been using 2.6.14-archck3 since this morning, and it's almost as good as this nitro ever was.
