It's in the works

. I think there are some patches not cooperating right now, but hopefully it will be very soon.

Edit: I don't know if they are being created off of that specific patch set, but they are from the newer ck sources.

Could you try adding this patch? I'd like to try it, but am too much of a n00b to hack in kernel patches myself

.
Though 500Hz is a little extreme, the amount should prob. be configurable in the menuconfig... (default being something sensible like the 125 theoretical maximum)

@Dryre:

Are you seppe, or are you taking over the nitro patches.

Seems a shame we haven't heard from seppe for some time (unless you are him, of course

)

Just wondering.

I am not taking over them (still a n00b). I am trying to help him with some of the patches and learn at the same time

. He asked for some help with the swusp2 patches in another thread and I thought I would dive in to see what I can do.

I have talked with him some through a couple of pm's though, so I know he is working on one through a later ck patchset.

very good work - i used love xx mm cko ck kernels (i play a lot in americas army) and i must say it - the 2.6.8-rc3-nitro1 is working great - thx for it - and i waiting for next releases :-)

I made a new release 2 times, but there is something wrong with win4lin and I didn't had the time to fix them.

Soon I'll have Gentoo on my brand new laptop (dell inspiron 8600) so I can test swsusp2 as well (but now I'm a bit addicted to doom3

)

I'll host the new (but broken) patchset somewhere, so maybe anyone can help me out. A #nitro-sources IRC channel will be created too

me too have problems writing cdr with this kernel,

gets to about 80% then system seems to crawl to a halt, cannot type anything, mouse barely moves, eventually stops, have to reboot, made 3 coasters! used both cdrecord & cdrdao (using gtoaster)

works fine with 2.6.8-rc2-love3

Seppe, I am close to having the swsusp patch finished. Hopefully I will have something by this weekend.

Does any one use vmware here?

Well, I *try* to use 4.5.2.8848-r1 version, but I'm having problem powering on vms - nothing happens visibly and this is logged the in UI log:

Probably the most responsive kernel I've had the pleasure of using since the 2.6.6 line of kernels.

Also the first time since that kernel that a form of bootsplash (via gensplash) has worked since that same line of kernel.

I created a new patchset but it's broken.
Compilation failed, probably due to reiser4 which doesn't want to work with win4lin:

I'm menuconfiguring it now... I notice there's no longer a big (EXPERIMENTAL) next to NTFS write support, does that mean it's safe to use now?

I wouldn't use it. It still is very limited as to what you can do. From the help:

i've just discovered very strange behaviour of nitro-sources (2.6.8-rc3-nitro1)

my system just hangs when i try to compile something

a tried to emerge konverter and i got crashes while compiling mplayer (dependecies of konverter)

then i tried to do emerge -uD system, and during compiling of glibc got the same. The strangest thing is that lockups where completly random (somtime it was only error during compile, but system still worked, sometimes it just hung - total lockup of the screen), at different places, after different time.

Right now i'm on xx-sources (2.6.8-rc1-xx2) and glibc is still compiling (almost 20 minutes now with no hangup - that's the record for today)

what the fart is going on :?:

[edit]

i think, i'll wait for 2.6.8-nitro (don't want to install another rc ;-)

please, hurry with next release
