I'm also using ~x86 (world up to date as of this morning) and X points to Xwrapper here as well. Are you using the hard-masked version? I've been meaning to give that one a try.

I wonder if Xwrapper is really necessary, or if we can replace it with wrapper.c .....

<sheepish>
Ok, with that simple a patch I should have been able to figure that out myself. :oops:
I was kind of upset though.
</sheepish>

For some reason the patch you quoted back didn't apply cleanly either, but I went in and hand-edited the source and I'm now re-compiling. After I get a chance to reboot I'll see if it's all happy again.

I still think that supermount is a bad idea though :P

From Andrew Morton <>
Subject 2.6.4-rc2-mm1

Added Jens's patch which teaches the kernel to use DMA when reading audio from IDE CDROM drives. These devices tend to be flakey, and we need lots of testing please.

- Re-added the device mapper update

- Brought back Ingo's patch which permits remap_file_pages() to set the memory access permissions on a per-page basis. This is mainly interesting for its very significant performance benefits to UML.
Breaks the build on most architectures. There are how-to-fix-it instructions in the changelog.

- A new version of the patch which permits ext3 quota updates to be fully journalled.

To answer my own post -
I just installed this kernel (which ROCKS btw... the first love-soruces since 2.6.1-love5 that could handle my workload without my starcraft game lagging :D). I used the wrapper.c file, and redirected X to it. my wrapper.c executs XFree86, *not* Xwrapper. As far as I can tell, there is nothing wrong with this, and so far everything works as expected.

It adds lots of patches that are not in the standard kernel. But please, read the changelog in the first page.

If you have questions, please ask :wink:

hi
I have been trying to use love-sources but it always seems to stuck after detecting my hdd. The last lines I see is something that ends with lun0. I am using the same .config as that of gentoo-dev-sources(2.6).
which is here http://www.me.iitb.ac.in/~abeesh/.config.

Could some one point out what to do. Is udev necessary with love -sources.

thanks

It's a bootsplash error. Try upgrading to the latest love-sources and the latest bootsplash. Remember to recreate the initrd before rebooting.

i decided to try bootsplash at a friend, running a kernel, patched with the latest bootsplash, we had same problem there, so it might not be this release of love-sources fault :)

thanks for the reply
The updated bootsplash also gives the same error. I also removed boot splash from the kernel and runlevel but still the kernel refuses to boot. I was using.

2.6.4-rc2-love1 NAME=Spread 'Em

the error I am still getting is at
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0. The system hangs here :(

Thats the first time I'm using the love sources and Im impressed, nearly everything is working :D

I read that you can change the refresh rate with the vesa driver? how can I manage that? which boot option shall I add? Or shall I use the rivafb driver?

thx
