========================================
warning: Do not bug the gentoo devs abouts this patchset
If you have problems, contact Tiger or me, or post in this thread.
========================================
Beyond Sources
From the makers of -archck, and -nitro. iphitus and Tiger683
That single patchset has arrived, -beyond. Beyond will have both, a stable (ArchCK/CKO like) branch, and an unstable (nitro like) branch available via git.
The beyond stable tree is a patchset based on the CK patchset. It aims to include a variety of popular features and updates that have not yet made it to the vanilla kernel, while remaining relatively stable. Con Kolivas' CK patchset is the most important part of beyond stable tree, as it provides the great interactivity and responsiveness improvements that it is noted for.
VMWare users need to use the ~arch package
Undervolt patch users:
The order of the voltage table for undervolting is the same as beyond2, which was reversed from beyond1. Please keep this in mind if you use it, and adjust appropriately to avoid hardware damage!!!
If you use wget to download files from beyond-sources.generation.no, use the "--user-agent=WHATEVER" as command line option
at the _end_ of the command! example: "wget http://someaddres/somefile --user-agent=MyFunkyUserAgent"
Full changelog on homepage.

About unstable branch:

Ebuilds, nicely formatted post and gentoo stuff will be here soon. In the meantime, use http://beyond-sources.generation.no/gentoo/2.6.16-beyond2/beyond-sources-2.6.16-r2.ebuild
and rename it to beyond-sources-2.6.16-r3.ebuild. Apparently this works.
Cheers,

No ebuild??
EDIT: copying the old -r2 ebuild to -r3 loads beyond3 just fine...if you're not going to host ebuilds, maybe suggest that for current beyond users?

Hi alll
I am having issues with vesafb-tng. The booting and all is fine. But after X is started, if i try to go to the terminal, I get the following error
on the monitor. What's the reason for this?? Though the system doesn't lock up, I can't use the console part!!!
thanks
Saurabh

Try lowering your refresh rate.

it has the feature. use it only if you have a big fileserver, as kernel configuration help suggests.

i had to reduce my resolution in console once with some patchset since vesafb-tng got a little broken at that time. i used 1280x1024 and i reduced to 1024x768

Hi guys I installed this kernel here too and nearly everything seems to work except an earlier fixed bug I reportet on kernel.org's Bugtracker.
Could you iphitus or Tiger point out the sata changes between beyond2->beyond3? Because there must be a change that causes the problem again.
Thanks in advance!

between 2 and 3 the only changes are those from the 2.6.16.y releases that could affect sata
although that bug is suspend related, so it could have been the suspend update. |

Broken out is the collection of separate patches that make up the one big patch.

Ok, but it has nothing to do with the suspend2 patches, because they don't acutally change the sata code... But we'll see...

Hi, I reduced the resolution, made it the same as X, and the frequency also. Now the problem is gone. But isn't this some bug of fbsplash?? I think it is trying to keep the same refresh rate as X, while keeping the resolution it was given, and hence the error came, as 1280x1024@85 is not possible on my monitor. Kindly som1 correct this

This kernel works just perfectly, not a single problem here. Since I'm a Nitro-switcher, I first stuck with the -dev branch, but there's not much going on there right now (quiet before the storm I hope.. ), so tried the stable branch and I have to say... I like it. It's definitely going to be put on some of my more "mission critical" machines..
