| yes eiffel, but you have to copy ioctl32.h file from vanilla or .21 kernel |

Very good patchset, using it on my laptop, only had a slight issue with the generic ide driver giving me 2M/s throughput, but once I disabled it back to 35M/s. Using it on what I kind of call a livecd running on the hard drive, using squashfs images for everything layered together through aufs, and then booted. Works pretty well, one thing that I didn't expect is hibernate fully works on this monstrosity. Definitely this has been one of the best gentoo reinstalls that I have done. Good job on the kernel.

Both the menu option and the option in kernel config are simply missing.
I think enable-4k-stacks-default-2.6.22.patch is responsible for that behaviour and it would be cool if you could remove that patch in kamikaze5.
/edit: This patch does the same as yours but doesn't remove the menu option

help
If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the
kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates
running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure
on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option
- will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace.
+ will also use separate 4Kb IRQ stacks to compensate for the
+ reduced stackspace.

Thanks,

so just reverse waninkoko's patch:
| Code: | | patch -p1 -R < ../4k-stacks_no-ption |
(?)
then replace with yours | Code: | | patch -p1 < ../4k-stacks_with-option |

p4ddy, I am using ndiswrapper on my x86 box with this kernel and i have no trouble at all. Ndiswrapper just prints warnings, they are not errors and I have not had any connection troubles thus far.

Hey, thanks so much for this! This is my first Kamikaze kernel and I am very impressed.
I do have a question though, is there a setting to enable CFS in the kernel config? I only have no-op, CFQ, and deadline that come up as scheduler options, although I do get the CFS tunable configs. I have searched all over and heard nothing about needing to config CFS so I assume the patches make the kernel always use CFS. Is this the case? For example, what happens if I choose "deadline" as the default scheduler in the Kamikaze sources?
Ati-drivers: there is a problem with ati-drivers and the 2.6.22 kernel which has nothing to do with the Kamikaze patches. Go here for the patch. |

No-op, CFQ and deadline are "i/o" schedulers.CFS is a "cpu" scheduler and it is always enabled with this patchset. |
