Well, it seems that the ati fix doesnt work with 2.6.10-nitro4 but it works with 2.6.10-nitro2, any thoughts on that?

Is this kernel now based upon mm-sources instead of ck-sources?

Hi all,

Darckness: Great Work!

I am now back where I was 2 days ago with 2.6.10-nitro2, just that it is nitro4... I do have some strange sound problem with UT2004 and AmericasArmy: the sound has some wierd stuttering, and seems laggy. short: It renders the games unplayable. On the other hand Q3A work flawless, and any other applcation that uses sound ( mplayer, vlc, xmms, bmp, rhythmbox, even arts...). Am I the only one experiencing this problem, or is generally known.

I'd like to do some more testing on other kernels, but I don't know which ones support resier4. I tried mm-sources, but it wouldn't compile my ATI drivers, so it was pointless going on... BTW same happens if I try nitro4-mm...

I switched to resier4 with a 2.6.8 kernel, and there it works... lookily I still have this one...

Hey I found some kernel patches on:

http://kerneltrap.org/node/4493

Would this be something to check out when you include it to nitro-sources? If it's crap, throw it away but there have been some positive reactions.

The kernel sounds like a fine piece of work! I can't wait to try it out. Thanks for your work!

jannis: I was looking into them, but I can't get the as patch for some reason. If somebody else has it and could link me to it, I would appreciate it.

Got it working. Awesome. :-)

For those curious...hotplug depends on General Setup -> sysctl. That's what creates the directories in /proc.

This is neither covered in the Gentoo UDEV documentation, nor the guide I used to originally setup UDEV, http://webpages.charter.net/decibelshelp/LinuxHelp_UDEVPrimer.html

Maybe that'll save some poor sap endless hours of frustration.

Nvidia kernel fails to emerge in this kernel?

I am running AMD64 and when trying to emerge nvidia-kernel I get:

Guinpen · Guru Joined: 08 Dec 2004 Posts: 393

I may be a retard, but upon startup I get a message:

Coldplugging pci devices...
... can't load module shpchp
missing kernel or user mode driver shpchp
... can't load module shpchp
missing kernel or user mode driver shpchp

I try modprobe shpchp and get:

FATAL: Error inserting shpchp (some path I don't remember): Operation not permitted.

I don't know what this module is for, and everything seems to be working. But it's really annoying, so anyone have any ideas?

Otherwise, awesome kernel! Waay better than gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.9-r13!!

As bollucks says, there's no possibility of real damage, but it isn't marked as safe yet so I'm just making sure people know not to use it. Otherwise they'll post here to tell me it doesn't work

. I'll remove the warning when I can run it at full stability.

On the next nitro release:
Unless people start giving me tons of patches that they need implemented very soon, or exposing huge bugs in this version, I'm gonna let this one go for a few days. I've been irritating a lot of people on my end with my constant kernel patching, and I think it's time to give them a little break. Of course, if there's need for another release soon I'll be all over it.

Hi!

I’ve been struggling with nitro2 and nitro4 (without mm) to get my soundcard work (onboard SiS 7012). I tied various ways (build-in | module, with and without OSS). There were no errors, soundcard was detected. Aplay, mplayer and xmms played every thing except the fact that I couldn’t hear the sound!
Finally I emerged gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.9-r13 and without changing anything in the alsa config sound works fine.
That’s all

I had problems with ALSA as well. I had to open alsa mixer, and change some of the settings. 2.6.9 and 2.6.10 seem to have different ALSA mixer settings. Try loading alsamixer and checking to see if everything is unmuted/turned up.
