Hey all,
emerging nvidia-kernel when using nitro-sources fails with a bunch of errors. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Follow the instructions. Create /usr/local/portage, put the ebuild there, put "sys-kernel/nitro-sources ~x86" in your /etc/portage/package.keywords, go to /usr/local/portage/sys-kernel/nitro-sources and run the "ebuild filename.ebuild digest" command, then emerge nitro-sources.

thanks, i will do that. i also remember that there was some mirror which already had nitro-sources. so i only had to add that to make.conf and then do emerge sync. this way i dont have to digest any ebuilds. so i was wondering if anyone knows of any of those mirrors. if not, then i would just follow the normal procedure. by the way, i am running amd64, any thing special for that?

As far as I know all the mirrors either have files or not - that being the point of them being "mirrors"?

Emerge has just finished successfully - hopefully I'll be posting from the new kernel in a few minutes :-)

Hmmmm.... locks at boot with
Code:

Cannot open root device "hdb3" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)


/root is reiser4. Obviously I've compiled support in, and stacks are on 8k.
I suppose it could be unable to find the hdd itself, but I can't see any reason why not - it's just a secondary IDE HDD, nothing too complex....
Any ideas?

Ooookay.... The size of stacks is configurable in this kernel. Typical choices are 4 and 8 - 4 minimises memory usage. Reiser4 is 8k-only so if you want to play with that I'd stick with 8k.
Yes, you can run reiser and reiser4 on different partitions.
fstab entry is pretty much normal - just use "reiser4" for the fs type.
You create a partition using fdisk as normal, then use mkfs.reiser4 on it (again, basically the same as any other filesystem).

Hey Archangel,
I get these errors when i play around with my .config and choose too much stuff as modules in the block device and/or
IDE section of Kconfig, hmm , what was this again...... well, try compiling the stuff like chipset and ide that you know u have and
you know it will not change into your kernel....

cheers,

T

EDIT: I saw the patch for bogus ide numbers after the release and then, somehow, i forgot to apply it.
Will update, i hope darckness will also update the version that currently is online....

I just wanted to record this so I don't forget. I'm not that much of a kernel hacker, but I've found out that my force feedback patch doesn't need to be applied - the root of my force feedback problems is in drivers/usb/input/hid-ff.c :

This function is returning null:
Code:
static struct hid_ff_initializer *hid_get_ff_init(__u16 idVendor,
                                                  __u16 idProduct)
{
        struct hid_ff_initializer *init;
        for (init = inits;
             init->idVendor
             && !(init->idVendor == idVendor
                  && init->idProduct == idProduct);
             init++);

        return init->idVendor? init : NULL;
}


Because it can't find my joystick (?) in this list:
Code:
static struct hid_ff_initializer inits[] = {
#ifdef CONFIG_LOGITECH_FF
        {0x46d, 0xc211, hid_lgff_init}, // Logitech Cordless rumble pad
        {0x46d, 0xc283, hid_lgff_init}, // Logitech Wingman Force 3d
        {0x46d, 0xc295, hid_lgff_init}, // Logitech MOMO force wheel
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_HID_PID
        {0x45e, 0x001b, hid_pid_init},
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_THRUSTMASTER_FF
        {0x44f, 0xb304, hid_tmff_init},
#endif
        {0, 0, NULL} /* Terminating entry */
};


...it should be matching hid_pid_init. I'll investigate further tomorrow.

BTW I'm in love - I had no problems installing/compiling/booting the rt kernel, and it booted so fast. Yay :D

[EDITED]
Apparently, this is where it resides in nitro-rt and also under Kernel hacking in normal i think, make sure you run nitro AT ALL!

Aww, I wanted to complain one last time...
Well, I'll do it anyway. RT worked famously, except it would crash (black screen) when I switched virtual terminals, or went to shutdown.

I look forward to IT. :D

Awwwww.... I hadn't even got it working yet :-P

Thanks for your earlier suggestion; I spotted a couple of options left unselected that look frankly pretty silly (don't know what I was thinking...), so hopefully I can make a bit more progress :-)

How much of an improvement does this offer over the 2.6.11-rc4-nitro sources? Worth the upgrade from a stable system?

My current system has been stable and happy on that since they came out almost without glitch. I was rather pleasantly suprised how painless using them with all reiser4 partitions, and pure udev. For being fairly new to gentoo I knew I was stepping into deep water but nitro seems to have done to trick!
