I'm compiling love-sources now :)

But I'm impressed .. is it really true that enabling preëmptive kernel causes a slower system?
Oh and I use these CFLAGS for my kernel:
-oS -pipe
Because -oS gives smaller executables, and I want my kernel to be as small as possible.

Anyone have other tips on love-sources?

If all you are adding is -Os you may be better served by going to General setup -> Configure standard kernel features (for small systems) and selecting "Optimize for size". If you're really concerned about kernel size you could remove some features in there too, like disk schedulers you may not be using, or kksymoops (don't send an error report with those disabled however).

That is not love-specific but it may be right up your alley.

i want to tell you that you forgot something for the dxr3 drivers.. like the modules are built, but on make modules_install they arent installed :-|

i really wanted to check this out, cause this has been the first 2.6 kernel i've seen with dxr3 support. i stoped using my card when i changed to 2.6, and now this made me really happy, try to fix it :-)

This is a reminder to myself and a note to anyone that wants to do some light hacking about:
Hidden deep in kernel hacking there is already an option to modify the compile arguments. Kernel hacking -> Kernel debugging and Kernel hacking -> Include kgdb kernel debugger -> Add any additional compile options -> Additional compile arguments.

I propose we replace the current hacking patch with something simple that makes that option independent of kgdb. If I ever find time to get to it, I will.

I have to use driverloader, and dldrconfig won't compile with the current mm sources. Here's the output it gives me.
Code:
rm -f *.o GPL/*.o *.ko GPL/*.ko *.mod.c GPL/*.mod.c .*.cmd GPL/.*.cmd  /lib/modules/2.6.5-mm5/build/.tmp_versions/driverloader.mod
(cd /lib/modules/2.6.5-mm5/build && make "KERNELSRC=/lib/modules/2.6.5-mm5/build" "SUBDIRS+=/usr/lib/driverloader/modules" "SUBDIRS+=/usr/lib/driverloader/modules" modules)
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-mm5'
Makefile:954: target `/usr/lib/driverloader/modules' given more than once in the same rule.
Makefile:970: warning: overriding commands for target `/usr/lib/driverloader/modules'
Makefile:955: warning: ignoring old commands for target `/usr/lib/driverloader/modules'
  Building modules, stage 2.
head: error reading `/usr/lib/driverloader/modules': Is a directory
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-mm5'
mkdir -m 755 -p /lib/modules/2.6.5-mm5/misc
rm -f "/lib/modules/2.6.5-mm5/misc/driverloader"*.ko
install -m 644 driverloader.ko /lib/modules/2.6.5-mm5/misc
install: cannot stat `driverloader.ko': No such file or directory
make: *** [minstall] Error 1

If anyone has gotten driverloader working with the current mm sources or love sources, let me know how you did it. Its worked for me up untill mm2 or love-2.

Steel, you let me know if there's anything at all I can do to help out. If you would like, contact me through one of the IMs in my profile.


I'm having the same error as your are, across multiple versions of mm-sources. Infact, I haven't been able to emerge one since 2.6.5-rc2-mm3, which isn't even in the portage tree anymore. Has this been resolved yet? It's getting to be really frustrating...

I've also noted a number of other programs failing to patch as well, including glibc, binutils, and a couple other packages. After 5 or 6 retries the emerge works. Very, very weird.
