Thanks for the mppe-mppc patch . And btw, I've always asked myself what does the "build" flag do.

Thanks for the new release, it works great. I think I can notice a slight improvement in latency again on my laptop. Firefox started a bit quicker this time.
I'm not a christian or religious, but that bootup logo is quite chigldish again (please don't take it offensively). Isn't it possible to create someting professional which can suit everyone and all systems? The logo actually looks well drawn compared to the biohazard, but on a same if not even lower level of class.
I might as well not even try future logos if I'm going to have to waste time recompiling after seeing them each time I try a new release, as it seems that's what I'll have to do with this one. Things like that belong as tattoos or doodles, but not for any professional purposes, especially involving computers.

Why the hell is the few second long boot logo so important!? And why does it have to be "professional?" It's his kernel, he should pick a logo that _HE_ likes! Then people can simply use a different logo if they don't like that one. You are using a hacked kernel with the name of "acid" and expect it to be a corporate professional product?
Now for Tiger, is there a way to reuse the old .config from the first release without having to use make oldconfig? I don't feel like having to answer a question for everything in the config.
Edit: After going through and configuring this all, it fails to compile with this:
| Code: | UPD include/linux/compile.h
CC init/version.o
LD init/built-in.o
LD .tmp_vmlinux1
fs/built-in.o: In function `longterm_lock_znode':
: undefined reference to `rw_zlock_is_locked'
fs/built-in.o: In function `longterm_unlock_znode':
: undefined reference to `rw_zlock_is_not_locked'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
|
I have no idea where/what that is? Any ideas? |

disable reiser4 debug mode 
it makes things LOTS slower AND causes this error

Professionalism is simply logic and common sense, someday you'll outgrow your childish ways. Would you not complain if someone made an awesome kernel patchset but used tubgirl or goatse as the logo? This isn't directed toward's Tiger, but rather your pathetic post. Get back to worshipping satan and sacrificing goats.
Aso, fuy if you have your boot partition mounted it takes the old config from there as far as I know. You don't have to do oldconfig, just do menuconfig for the first time and have your boot mounted and all the settings will be there.
Once I get my other box back online I'll give it a shot at helping Tiger. |

1st part: That response was rather childish actually. Yes I admit that professionalism is good idea in certain situations, for example when your target audience is a production environment. However, a high performance kernel patchset is going to generally be more targetted toward the common tinkerer and tweaker. An audience that will have little regard for requiring professionalism.
Further, no I would not like it if a patchset used that as their bootlogo, however instead of complaining and trying to get them to change it, and then complaining about the change they made, I would rather just turn off the bootlogo and/or make my own. It's not like it is that difficult to turn it off. Perhaps people should start posting a shot of the included bootlogo so that you won't have compile it in, then recompile without it (not sarcastic).
And now the reason your response was childish itself. I do not worship satan nor sacrifice goats. It is simply a nick name that has caught on over the years and been used online. Under your logic, I should tell you to get back to worshipping Hitler and hating Jews.
2nd part: Thank you. I'll have to give that a shot sometime. It'd save me a great amount of trouble/time. Thanks again.
And finally, this is not the place to start arguing over these things. Let's keep it on topic now. However if you feel the need to continue it, you can always PM me about it.
P.S. I wish I could see the bootlogo in the first place! I have never seen ANY bootlogo of ANY kernel I have used. Nor do I ever see that annoying Nvidia logo everyone complains about. I have no idea why, but they never come up... |

The old .config is ported automatically, but if it isn't you can just copy the file in /usr/src/linux.
@Tiger You haven't answered my question about the "build" USE flag. Thanks.

there are no use flags in the ebuild
orphen:
upstream bug in the stuff you emerge, i didn't touch the things it complains about, wait
until the developers fix compatibility with 2.6.14 (64 bit systems are less external-module friendly anyways, although, it could
also be a swsusp2 bug as well)
cheers

@Tiger
So it's a kernel-sources flag, as when I do 'emerge -a acid-sources' it shows 3 useflags : build, doc and symlink. Do you know what that flag means, though?

Would it be possible to add the patched orinoco modules and the hostap modules? I use acid on my desktop and they are awsome. On my laptop i have to use nitro (nothing wrong with them by they way) because the have the hostap drivers built in. For some reason i cannot get the pathed orinoco modules or the hostap modules to work. They compile just fine and load just fine but dont detect my cards.

Sorry guys, i could only debug if i had same problem,
my mem usage is about 200M in a full-blown KDE system after over one day uptime and some heavy emerging done... Take a look at your configs again,
this patchset is pretty different than the ck based ones
cheers

Also using same .config as for my ck kernel... Any config option that i should look up more carefully?
and another thing
| Code: |
p238 linux # make menuconfig
scripts/kconfig/mconf arch/i386/Kconfig
acid/Kconfig.acid:259: unexpected 'endmenu' statement
|
Dont know if it is of interest. Or maybe my fault?
Excuse my poor english |

I have my problem fixed with ram, i forgot to enable 1 gb support on "Acid Features" as i was using my .config from ck-sources and ck-sources dont need to enable high memory, on acid-sources i had to enable that feature so that my ram wouldnt go up for no reason at all .
Fixed .
Still waiting to see if there are any "improvements" on acid that i cant get on ck-sources

If by improvements you mean your desktop will magically become 1000times faster and your I/O will take off at warp speed, then no, there are no improvements
