 |
|
New release, sorry it took so long, but I've been both lazy and busy lately, with a lot of things you can't really plan for popping up on me.
| Quote: |
Release: 2.6.22-dark4
Name: Under Jolly Roger!
Patchset produced by: predatorfreak
Comments: Updated to CFS 19.1, some cleanups from -mm, NCQ support on nVidia chipsets supporting it set as default.
Build and boot-test certified: Built with a modified Arch Linux kernel26 config, booted on my system, seems to run fine.
Additional Information: To adjust the CFS granularity, use sysctl kernel.sched_granularity_ns = VAL, where VAL is the proper value.
To disable NCQ on nVidia chipsets which support it, either pass swncq=0 to the kernel (if sata_nv is built-in) or put options sata-nv swncq=0
in /etc/modprobe.conf (optionally including that file in your initrd if you use one).
Uvesafb: Gentoo users should refer to http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/uvesafb/ for help setting up uvesafb, skipping the parts pertaining to patching
the kernel. Arch users wishing to use it should use the v86d and klibc PKGBUILD's at http://www.dcaf-security.org/abs/local/.

I hope someone picks it up too--which I think will happen. It's too good. I think Con is moving on to other things, unfortunately.

Yeah, I should have posted them earlier. My .config is here and my arch is x86_64 with 2 gigs of RAM.

Waninkoko is going to port CK patches to every new kernel release. |

Urg, for some reason, BadRAM either really likes x86_64 or really hates it. I think I'm just going to drop the patch, as it constantly busts sooner-or-later.
Edit: Try this patch here: http://www.dcaf-security.org/dark-sources/patch-2.6.22-dark4-r1.patch.bz2
It removes the BadRAM patch and doesn't touch anything else in the tree.

will you upgrade your patchset? It would be great to see .5 kernel and v20 CFS
And thanks for your work! |

Actually, I've got -dark5 sitting here, let me tar up the broken-out and bzip the patch, then I'll release it all.

hello, i'm in the middle of installing Gentoo from a stage3 tarball using Conrads Live CD and the v4 "Flying Colors" Guide (lol.. it's just my timing to have done this the week before Conrad v5 will be released). I was going to use the viper2 patches, but they aren't available now 
I just got done doing emerge '-e world, etc-update, emerge udept, dep -s'
i was about to use patch-2.6.22-dark4-r1.patch.bz2 before compiling the kernel, but i see here dark5 is almost ready.
Should I wait for dark v5 ???
note: I am installing x86_64 with reiser4 and dmraid. Are reiser4 and dmraid in the 2.6.22 kernels by default (if not, are they in dark v5 ? ).
My other option would be to emerge the vanilla sources or gentoo sources and then apply the reiser4 patch and follow the gentoo wiki guide for installing with nvraid support using dmraid. (Wait a minute, does GRUB support Reiser4). Help me please... LoL  |

Don't wait for -dark5, CFS v20 is unstable and causes my box to hardlock. Reiser4 is not in any mainline kernel nor dark.
Edit: I figured out what the problem was, apparently, you need to rebuild the NVIDIA module after updating to v20 or it hardlocks the system.
