2.6.12-rc4-no2 Too Bleeding Edge for you ?


I Backed out a few patches so that you don't have to use the nvidia-kernel ebuild we provide. I dropped NVIDIA_KERNEL_HACK.patch due to this.
The one from gentoo portage should be sufficient.I added xbox-sources back in It seems to compile fine if APM Support and CONFIG_KEXEC is disabled.
Thanks to predatorfreak we have a new version of unionfs Filesystem. I'm also working on a staircase 11.2 cpu sched release for those of you that
want the newer version.

[CHANGES]
Note for Nvidia UsersYou no Longer Need to use the Ebuild provided. The Nvidia-kernel ebuild from portage should be sufficient.
Code:

+ 2.6.12-rc4-mm2-xbox1.bz2 | Please note that this is experimental. (Make sure apm support is not enabled in power management.)

+ patch-unionfs-1.0.12a.diff | New version of UnionFS Filesystem thanks to predatorfreak

+ Made a 11.2 Staircase version of no-sources.

- NVIDIA_KERNEL_HACK.patch | This changes _GPL symbols to normal symbols.

[Staircase]
I'm using Staircase 11.2 on for 2.6.12-rc4-no2 release along with:

schedrange.diff |* Infrastructure for more policies */
schediso2.12.diff |/* SCHED_ISO for soft realtime scheduling */
schedbatch2.7.diff /* SCHED_BATCH for idle scheduling */
smp-nice-support.diff

[CPUSCHED]
Code:

{ There are 5 available cpu scheduler you can choose from , either from the kernel config or by using cpusched="nicksched" in /boot/grub/grub.conf
  (assuming you are using grub) as a kernel parameter.

  Available options are:
  cpusched="nicksched"
  cpusched="staircase"
  cpusched="zaphod"
  cpusched="spa_no_frills"
  cpusched="ingo"
}

[Nicksched]
{
Also available is the the option to change sched_base_timeslice variable.The recommended setting is 64 for desktop. In an earlier release I used
32 which didn't work too well. Tasks that needed a longer timeslice were not responding too well. limewire and amarok to name a few. 64 seems to
work very well. It is also what Nick piggins himself recommends for desktop. Remember you can also change sched_base_timeslice via /sys/cpusched/nicksched/
example echo "64" > sched_base_timeslice.
}

[NVIDIA]
{
You must use the nvidia-kernel.tar.bz2 provided. This ebuild adds class-api_nvidia.patch.txt to the nvidia-kernel which you will need
in order to play with the latest mm-sources. We take care of the kernel side with export-class-api_kernel.patch.txt using NVIDIA_KERNEL_HACK.patch
that the no-sources team broke-out for conveniance.
}

Patches
Code:


+plugsched-4.0-for-2.6.12-rc3-mm2.patch | Multiple cpu schedulers.

+cflags-moo.patch | Compile Kernel with diffrent cflags.

+1g_lowmem1_i386_mm-sources.diff | support for 1gb of memory without the 4gb overhead.

+daconfig-2.2.0-modified.patch | Damouses' cool script.

+config-nr-tty-devices-r1.patch | Chooses the amount of ttys in /dev directory.

+fbsplash-0.9.2-r2-2.6.12-rc4-mm1.patch | spock's framebuffer splash screen patch.

+vesafb-tng-0.9-rc6-r2-2.6.12-rc1.patch | vesafb alternative.





+squashfs2.1-r2-patch | Compressed File system support.

+lufs-0.9.7-2.6.10-rc3-no2.patch | Linux userland filesystem.

+wifi_update-v2.patch | adm8211 support wireless Driver support.



+default_io_scheduler.patch | Choose what I/O scheduler you want as default.

+mapped_watermark3_for_mm-sources.diff | Con Kolivas swap hack.

As Most of you know I strongly disagree with most of Mr Bush's decisions. I'm am not for another war. I just know with his stupidity the chance of NK being next are not as slim as I may think they are. But thats neither here nor there. This is probably subject for another topic in off the wall or something.
I apologize for the name just was in my head at the time.

I think it's funny.

I have a dark sense of humour...

I agree, the name is okay. Some people need to lighten up a bit though. I mean, come on....its just the name of a kernel. Its not a headline in newsweek, you know 8).
