 Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2002 3:46 pm Post subject: XFS - 2.5.x kernel questions |
 |
|
Ok, after having millions of problems with Alsa, I just went ahead and compiled support for my soundcard into a 2.4.18 kernel. The sound quality isn't great, and I heard that 2.5 sound support is a lot better.
However, I'm using XFS on my boot and root partitions, and there don't seem to be any 2.5/XFS sources. Is there a way I can make a 2.5 kernel that will work with XFS? |

Given the question described, sounds like you're past the initial installation. Therefore, moving this from Installing Gentoo to Other Things Gentoo.

| How is the 2.5 kernel now? is it relatively stable? |

Why is 2.5.x sound support better? All I heard was that it includes ALSA drivers in the kernel, so you can select 'em in make menuconfig. I don't think the sound quality will (at this moment) be any better then when using ALSA drivers and a 2.4.x kernel.
I wouldn't use an unstable kernel branch (that needs to be manually patched first) just for integrated ALSA sound support.
But nevertheless, I guess it's worth a try. You can always downgrade to a stable kernel again. |
