Marc,

yes... something was changed in the "sync" for vfat filesystem. Don't trust me too much, but it's something like this:

- Before (2.6.11) data gets writen to disk and then synced.
- After (2.6.12) data gets written to disk, then synced and then vfat table synced too.

That's or something else, you can look in lkml, but what I know for sure is that this is new in 2.6.12

Well mine was an mp3 player, a little more components on it, well it just gave a black screen on the little screen, and linux didnt recognize it anymore, just like in windows, but no components were fallen off or broke off.

And now the screen is broken as well lol.

I've got problems with the TCP patches. When I run freenet for a while, I always get a kernel panic in net/ipv4/tcp_output.c
Changing to vanilla (2.6.12.3) solved the problem.

I think I have kernel related problmes buring cds with that release.. Graveman keeps on telling that no media is in, even though there is of course.. Gonna try a diffrerent kernel and report..

sorry for blameing! It's not the kernel after all..- tried the "Holy Handgranade" with same results, and I'm pretty sure I was burning cd's with that version some time ago..

by the way.. nice job!!! I need less then 50MB RAM booting all stuff I need including X, fluxbox adesklets, torsmo and root-tail!!! The gentoo kernel needed 80MB!!!
Thanks for doing that!

Question: Where is the next version of love-sources coming? (based on 2.6.13.x kernel source).

Sorry for being rude, but what is the reason for using love-sources, if all love patches are in vanilla right now anyway? Not that I'm s´dissapointed with love (I told before), but what differences can I expect from love in future?

almost all love's stuff is in vanilla now.

there is no future.
Love-Sources is dead. R.I.P.

cheers.

I'd love to use "sex-sources" if they were around ;-)

Can't do the kernel hack myself but; I'd give every support I can!!!

I wouldn't call that sex, but anyway you're kind of right

Maybe I should go out more often and have my eyes lasered to get ridd of my nerd glasses.. anyway sexy is a nice attribute I think; not as deep and meaningful as love, but still quite attractive! I'd use them! ;-)

I'd like to take this time to personally thank every single user of Love-sources throughout what has been an experience of a lifetime - sometimes I cursed you guys for breaking it, sometimes I hated you for making false claims of my brilliance - but overall working on this project has be a very pleasant experience and I know that when I started this thing in the dark dungeon I called home years ago I didn't expect it to ever be publicly available, then when that happened, I didn't expect anyone to use it and Love-sources grew to be come, I'm told, the second or third (depending of course on weither or not -mm is a patchset or an official tree in your line of thinking) most used non-vendor patchset in the world. I take it the ratio of mental people in the world is larger than I thought, because all the way through the project I kept saying I had little clue about what was really going on - running something I wrote on your kernel takes guts beyond all meassure - Insane people I salute you.

The project started as a way to research a bit into all the proposed solutions to the imfamous lag bug, and since that is long gone - the original goal for the project as such can be deemed a succes, not so much because we had any impact on the solution, but at least we had fun during the journey. And by all meassure in life, it's not the goal but the journey that counts - I thank you all for making mine an interesting and eventful one.

Even you Ciaranm, and I'm sorry for all the mess the project might have inadvertantly cause you and your fellow developers.

Let's bid a friend farewell, Love-sources may you rest in peace.

Aye. It was also great time for me. I remember some periods like genetic-nicksched experiences hehe and kicking-out reiser4 from love. Ahhh nice. :twisted:

It seems that my journey with the "patchseting" is finished, but ...maybe one day...

Thanks and R.I.P

cheers.

thankyou Fallow, they were some nice kernels. Got a bit boring when Gentoo just worked (with the quality of ebuilds improving). The on-the-edge patches brought back fault-finding
