ArchCK: 2.6.15-archck1

iphitus · Apprentice Joined: 03 Aug 2005 Posts: 226

ArchCK is a patchset based on the CK patchset. ArchCK aims to include a variety of popular features and updates that have not yet made it to the vanilla kernel, without compromising stability. Con Kolivas' CK patchset is the most important part of ArchCK, as it provides the great interactivity and responsiveness improvements.

Sorry for another late release. I've been making the most of my last big school holidays before my last year of school and the work involved and didnt want to rush out a crappy release. Thanks for the nagging too guys

Thanks iphitus!

Running from your patchset as I type this very message. Works great and the patched rlocate module builds cleanly against it. More than worth the wait and very much appreciated.

Everything patched and compiled cleanly. Haven't tested it extensively, but so far everything is fast and stable.

I've been switching back and forth between preempt desktop and no preempt (low-latency desktop seemed to cause some inconsistencies under heavy load... ofcourse I can't be sure that was it since I'm running e17 which is pre-alpha). So far I'm leaning toward preempt desktop (based on experiances with 2.6.14-archck4/7) as it gives me much better responsiveness durning encodes and I have never experianced the music skipping that some people complain about with preempt, but I will test further. As usual this kernel patch-set is top-notch quality and was well worth the wait (I would rather wait a few extra days for a quality kernel than getting a hastily thrown together kernel earlier). Thank you, iphitus. Your work is greatly appreciated.

I just switched to 2.6.15-archck1 from 2.6.14-archck7 and now my fbsplash is not working? It works perfectly with 2.6.14-archck7. Is anyone else having this problem? Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks.

Since upgrading from 2.6.14-archck3 my alsa has stopped working, I can't remember the error message as I'm in windows. Advice please? I'll try post the error message later if anyone wants it.

It's been thoroughly doscussed in the nitro-sources thread, you might want to update your udev and base-layout to newest ~x86

You can use
http://iphitus.loudas.com/arch/ck/${KV%%-*}/patch-${KV}.bz2"

instead of:
http://iphitus.loudas.com/arch/ck/2.6.15/patch-${KV}.bz2"

So you will have null diff

and new version will be only a symlink.:> It always bugs me. Why portage doesn't use symlinks.....

Is anyone using this patchset and fbsplash sucessfully? It used to work with the 2.6.14-archck7? I made sure it was enabled in the kernel and I tried recompiling the kernel and splashutils. Should I put my .config and/or emerge --info ? thanks

My grub.conf is :

When I first compiled this, fbsplash wasn't working, but it turned out I'd forgotten to enable vesafb and fbsplash, as a lot of things had been reset to default. Just make sure you've enabled everything you had in the previous version.

I can't compile alsa-driver with it.
