I don't have a patch, I just modified drivers/scsi/Kconfig and drivers/scsi/Makefile by hand.

Man, I love love-sources :)

I had some problems with APIC on my NF7-S 2.0 board with the latest gentoo-dev-sources. I found love-sources through some forum-searching and ended up building 2.6.5-love4 and what a relief! I have apic enabled and was able to play Unreal Tournament "classic" for 45 minutes until I got tired of it :)

XMMS too doesn't produce crashes as it did before.. Man, is love-sources really something!! :D *loves*

Praise steel300 and lovechild!! :D :D :D

Thank you. I was looking for that.

    download the ebuild
    stick it in /usr/local/portage/sys-kernel/love-sources
    make sure you have PORTAGE_OVERLAY set
    emerge love-sources
    ebuild /usr/local/portage/sys-kernel/love-sources/love-source<whatever>.ebuild digest
    emerge love-love-sources
    cd /usr/src
    then compile your new love kernel as you would any other


there's a love sources howto somewhere on the forums that goes into more detail.

failing that patch -p1 < patchfile from the top level kernel source directory should do it

you do the ebuild digest before you emerge love-sources and if you add digest to the end of the FEATURES variable in make.conf you don't even need to worry about doing the ebuild digest part

but that'd mean downloading the patch and the base kernel source and anything else needed first and slapping them in distfiles. If you emerge it twice you get the downloads done for you

I didn't realise there was an auto-digest FEATURE though

No, it means download the ebuild (the 1k file) and put it in your portage overlay directory.

Then simply run
Code:
ebuild love-sources-ebuild digest
this will download the relevent files for you and create the correct files in the portage overlay directory. No need to download patches, etc by hand.

Then, you emerge love-sources to build the files downloaded from the ebuild digest command.

or you can run "emerge love-sources --digest" and it will download the files, digest them, then patch/install them

I always use the same configuration for love-sources but now I tried do disable preemption and experienced lock-ups..... my whole linux was frozen. I compiled it again.... same problem.

Now i've enabled preemtible kernel again, problem solved... (for now) but I want to disable preemption because it's makes your linux a little slower.... (<-> manual...)

What could be the reason for this?

Good work steel! Love is the only kernel installed on this system....

I don't think the issue here is anything specific to love-sources, I'm getting the same problem (fglrx.ko not compiling right) here with vanilla 2.6.5-mm4.

It's a problem with mm. See my note above about reversing the kbuild-external-modules patch.

I must be blind, because I don't see where your note about "reversing the kbuild-external-modules patch" is. Is it in another thread?

I tried 2.6.5-love4 using the same config as my 2.6.4-love1 which works flawlessly and the old issue that i had with the 2.6-test kernel came back of the system hardlocking under any kind of heavy IDE transfer. I checked and the nforce-apic patch to arch/i386/kernel/mpparse.c had been removed from 2.6.5. I was wondering if this was on purpose or...? Anyway adding it cleared my issues again.

I have the same USB ATMEL device (Ver 2.8 ).

Which drivers are you using ? I use the 0.12b drivers from
http://at76c503a.berlios.de/ . After each new kernel install I do a make clean - make - make install using these drivers and have not had any problems.

How about 2.6.5-mm6?
Is it also unstable?

Haven't tried it yet out - why I ask this. Maybe someone got some info on that?

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?
