Question...If I download and install the ebuild, do I still need to apply the patch ? Or does the ebuild contain patch fixes? Just not very clear :P Or is the patch for users using old nitro kernels ?

The patches are handy for those not using Gentoo, but if you are, the ebuild does all the work.

Yeah, it works for me, what is the problem?

No problems at all, I just wanted to hear someone got it working before trying.

just to help:
I checked v4l patch (all in one) and seems to work, even if (I used the original gzip file) I had some audio trouble [caused from alsa I think.....
via chipset audio :? ]
only issue patching with original file is some dvb files written outside linux
directory (I used -p0)

No problem, I plan to (make the attempt to) continue hacking together alsa patches that apply cleanly to nitro. It's good practice for me, and makes less work for you. :wink:

Just out of curiosity, has anyone got this to work with Reiser4 without lockups? I got some weird warnings compiling it (see my post on page 3) and it locks up on heavy disk access.

i cant speak from personal experience but i think many other users of this kernel are using it flawlessly with reiser4

Works fine. Reiser4 all the way 8) However, I didn't get any warnings (except Repacker-thing but that's normal)

Thanks for the patchset Seppe. Btw, if your looking for new patches for nitro, perhaps you'd want to check out the new -ac patchset from kernel.org. The newest one is 2.6.9-ac4. The patchset (at least used to be some time ago) mostly IDE fixes. I've never tried it though so I don't know how it works.

Using nitro-sources for the first time, and it works like a charm!!!

I am using:
- Preempt
- fbsplash
- vesafb-ng
- udev (well, I only deactivated devsd and emerged udev, you know my point)
- nVidia drivers
- alsa
- USB mass storage
- Supermount (looking forward to do this through udev, maybe next weekend).

It's just fine!!! Running way smooth here, I think a bit faster than gentoo-dev-sources (I was using 2.6.7-r8) and definetely faster using xcompmgr. All my devices work great.

Although I have a prob with fbsplash (this is a bit OT, ignore the question if you feel so). When I was using bootsplash on gentoo-dev-sources, the "silent" image only dropped to the verbose screen for a 1/2 second when loading the "bootsplash" init.d script, the last time for a second before KDM loading. Now, the "silent" image drops to verbose screen way before the "splash" init.d script inits. How can I avoid this?

Thank you in advance, man :D

I have very strange problems with nitro-sources:
it fails playing sound (using muine): i don't a get a "no sound issue", it seems like it plays a loop on the first 1/10 second of the song. Same problem when i play a video: sound looping on the first 1/10 sec, video ok for a moment then crash after 10 sec...

Even more strange: when i play music with xmms it's ok, tvtime's also ok for both video and sound 8O

I don't get any error msg when i launch apps from the console and my dmesg seems to be ok at the exception that i don't get any ouptout from snd_via82xx (but as it's loaded and it works for xmms&tvtime, i don't think it's the problem)

Any ideas??

-Edit: no ouptout from snd_via82xx with a working kernel: definitly not the pb

Is anyone else having trouble getting packet writing to work with this kernel?

My cdwriter is /dev/hdd.

gungholady ~ # ls -al /dev/pktcd*
brw-r--r-- 1 root root 97, 0 Oct 25 06:10 /dev/pktcdvd0

/etc/conf.d/cdrw:

Quote:
# List the CD-Rom drives you wish to enable packet writing on here.
# Some examples follow:
cdrw_list="/dev/hdd"
#cdrw_list="/dev/sr0 /dev/sr1 /dev/sr2"
#cdrw_list="/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /dev/cdroms/cdrom1"
#cdrw_list="/dev/cdroms/cdrom0"


/etc/init.d/cdrw

Quote:
#!/sbin/runscript
# Copyright 1999-2003 Gentoo Technologies, Inc.
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: $


depend() {
need localmount
}

start() {
DEVICES="hdd"
#${COUNT}=0
for i in ${DEVICES}
do
ebegin "Enabling CD-RW packet writing on /dev/${i}"
pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/${i}
#${COUNT}=${COUNT}+1
eend $? "Failed to enable packet writing on /dev/${i}."
done
}

stop() {
for i in ${DEVICES}
do
ebegin "Disabling CD-RW packet writing on /dev/${i}"
pktsetup -d /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/${i}
eend $? "Failed to disable packet writing on /dev/${i}"
done
}


Packet writing and udf filestystems are compiled into the kernel.

I do the following command and get the resulting error:

gungholady ~ # /etc/init.d/cdrw restart
* Enabling CD-RW packet writing on /dev/hdd ...
open packet device: No such device or address [ ok ]

I do have udftools emerged and it worked to format the cdrw disk. What am I doing wrong?

I can't get ndiswrapper 0.11 to compile against this kernel... 0.10 works ok. Actually, 0.11 also wouldn't compile with 2.6.9_rc3-nitro2 I had before. I read on bugs.gentoo.org it would compile on vanilla and gentoo sources, but not on mm. Haven't read anything about ck, though.

Anyone got it working?

Nitro has been running great for me all weekend. Its the first version I've used with noticable performance increase on my hardware.

I am using:
- Preempt
- fbsplash
- vesafb-ng
- udev
- alsa

Thanks Seppe for the nitro-sources.

nitro-sources-2.6.9-nitro1 compile without problem and works great; but I can't
shutdown or poweroff since kernel-2.6.9.
I've been usuing the gentoo-dev-2.6.8-r11 just to be able to shutdown.

Here is my specs:

Mainboard: MS-6728
chipset: Intel 865PE.

Anyone having the same issue please report.

.11 compiled without a hitch for me. Definately can't say the same about -mm patches though.

On my other box this seems to also be the case. The cure? Don't shutdown ;oD

So far I haven't been able to find anything to fix this. I'll maybe try a 2.6.8.1 kernel later this week, see if that works better at all. If anybody can help me to debug this to a point where I can make a bugzilla report it would be greatly appreciated, all that happens now is I hit shutdown and I get a blank screen.

I don't know why it's doing that to me... maybe staircase 9.0 related problem ?


Here it also randomly locks up, switching back to 2.6.8-r6 once more...
Too bad the nitros are so unstable most of the time :(



Me too, my system hanged when i use my kmail. I already tried to re-emerge kdepim.
Can anyone help ?

ALSA don't sounds good att all.

Code:

# lspci | grep audio
0000:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60)


using the via-82xx moduls its just wery muth noice, still OSS works fine - but I want ALSA. Is it a fird party ALSA driver or something like that that works better.

ricce_n: What version of alsa are you using? You might want to try my alsa patch (on the first page of this thread I believe) and see if that works better.
