| I agree, this kernel even better than 2.6.12-nitro5. Very stable on very high load, no locks, IO schedulling is acceptable, for glxgears a get even more FPS as usual. Very good kernel for video editing, and vmware hosting. And best for Desktop. |

Here (amd64) it builds and runs fine.
Good Work! |

My system sometimes locks up (for about 10 seconds) when I am doing a bunch of CPU-intensive tasks at the same time, but that could easily be the fault of some bug with E17. If I remember to, I will try it out on XFce.
As a side note, I get this lockup with any kernel I try (basically nitro--even 2.6.12-nitro5!--and acid, as I don't feel like patching others to include reiser4).
EDIT: Oh, and I am using amd64.

This is probably a bug of E17 as it gets better/worse with updating E17 to CVS at my sys |

Time for updating from the legendary 2.6.12-nitro5 to this one. 
Works great so far. I had one little 2 seconds hangup a few minutes ago, hope this won't happen to often in future...
Thanks for the work, Tiger!

I feel kind of stupid... Sorry about my stubbornness, Tiger 
Indeed this kernel works incredible!! Now onto building some .rpms for my Fedora systems  |

Works like charm and it's very fast, too. Great job.

Is that included readahead tune patch the same one that was removed from -ck because of issues?
Sounds very nice otherwise (especially the latency improvements for low CPU% tasks in staircase 13), can't wait to try it out

Silly question: Where can I set/choose IO schedulers?

No, not the adaptive readahead, and none other from ck.

Hmm... my Fedora system for some reason stalls at activating swap space with -nitro2 on x86_64 (gentoo goes just as fine as always), and apparently I've pinpointed this out to -ck... The strange thing is that I'm using the same config on both systems, and only the Fedora one hangs at enabling Swap, what could the reason be?
Other than that, this kernel's sweetness  |

Now compiling...
I was on 2.6.12-nitro5 hope it is as good.
Anyone with an nVidia card (gForce2 to be exact) recommends some nvidia driver version? When I tried 2.6.14-nitro1 my actual nvidia driver (1.0.6629) didn't like it. It worked with ~x86 but wasn't so stable...
thanks |

Try disabling swap-prefetch for the fedora box.

You may try 7174 or one of the early 7x series, as the newest 7676 I think removes support for GeForce, GeForce 2 and TNT cards. |

I'm giving that a try right now... We'll see if that's the reason for this "hang"... Quite strange I must say, since has never happened before... |

| Has anyone moved to this one from acid2? Could someone give an idea of how this one compares to the acid2 kernel? |

I moved to it from acid2. It feels a bit snappier to me. I just want to know where the IO schedulers are!

| Cool, Getting it now. Just curious though, what version of ALSA does this have and does it include the iptables layer 7 as well? |

i never undetstood what you mean by "very fast"
does it improve overall performance significantly? fast in the sense that it has better memory/cpu usage? |

Works like a dream! Is much more stable and performs even better than previous release. Good job!

It is all in the patch listing in the announcement....
ipt_l7 is in it, so is mppc-mppe and git-alsa, and a few others.... just read it...
