========================================
warning: Do not bug the gentoo devs abouts this patchset
If you have problems, contact Tiger or me, or post in this thread.
report bugs at http://iphitus.loudas.com/bugs/ instead
========================================
New Bug Tracker
http://iphitus.loudas.com/bugs/
Please report any bugs here, along with .config, dmesg, the errors, and any other relevant info. These threads can become a mess at times, so the bug tracker will make things much clearer.
This release should have fixed suspend.
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.

Great, new release! 
First, thanks for all the work both of you are doing.
Second, it seems that the problem with madwifi driver (0.9.1) persists, so I created a patch to export the "jiffies_to_timespec" function included in the hrt-dynticks patch. In my system (amd64) it works:
| Code: | *** /usr/src/linux-2.6.17-beyond2.2/kernel/time.c 2006-07-22 16:04:43.000000000 +0200
--- linux-2.6.17-beyond2.2/kernel/time.c 2006-07-22 14:45:08.000000000 +0200
***************
*** 786,791 ****
--- 786,792 ----
value->tv_sec = div_long_long_rem(nsec, NSEC_PER_SEC, &value->tv_nsec);
}
+ EXPORT_SYMBOL(jiffies_to_timespec);
/* Same for "timeval"
*
* Well, almost. The problem here is that the real system resolution is

Hope it helps! |

Hi,
first of all, thanks for your work iphitus!
Sadly, this kernels suspend2 still has problems here. When I hibernate, all looks well until "Doing atomic copy", then I get a kernel error about saying it was "scheduling while atomic".. there's a lot of stuff around it, but that seemed to be the main message.
If I remember correctly, this is a problem that was often found in earlier versions of suspend2, so might be its just a bug in mainstream suspend2... |

so far very good kernel. Thank you.
But I have problems inserting wlan module (madwifi 0.9.1) into kernel. The error is
| Code: | /lib/modules/2.6.17-beyond2.2/net/wlan.ko needs unknown symbol jiffies_to_timespec
|
Any ideas? |

Yeah, hrtimers and dyntick have bust it up. there'll be a fixed suspend in 3 which is uploaded, but not officially released as i've yet to test it. i've got my laptop back so i can finally test suspend2 out again. |

If you're interested in beta-test-results, .3 works here, hibernating included...

With beyond2.2 when hibernating I get a message stating I don't have Suspend2 in my kernel, even though I do..
With beyond3, it hard locks at 'Doing atomic copy'.

I get the above error trying to build arpstar kernel module. Please tell me how to rectify this.
also I get the error "DDC transactions not supported by the video card" error at boot, and the system freezes there.
thanks

Try coimiling against a vanilla source outside of portage. Then, if you see the same error, file a bug upstream.

I guess what he meant was the -3-pre version that iphitus had "not so officially announced"... see some posts above.
It seems iphitus got something new for us speed-and-reliability-fans tho... iphitus?

Amazing kernel and booting fine with vesafb. Kindly do something about the vesafb-tng problem reported above.
