hi all (and thanks to all involved

)

long time lurker, but this is my first post!

i've been using many of these patchsets over the years (ck, no, nitro, beyond, love, dark, viper, kamikaze, zen) but mainly kamikaze since 2.6.21 and love it, THANKS!

i run the rarewares/debian repository (for debian unstable) and have been packaging my flavor-of-the-month kernel (which is currently 2.6.23-kamikaze5).

i'll continue to package zen at random intervals (i've been waiting for a zen1 release and that looks to be "shortly")

...i'm mainly involved with audio/video software (hydrogenaudio), but just wanted to say "thanks" and if there are other debian peeps out there that these packages are available.

here is the thread on HA (just updates to the repo):
http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=2&t=10340

and here is info on rarewares:
http://www.rarewares.org
http://www.rarewares.org/debian.php

i DID notice that someone is packaging zen for ubuntu and that prompted me to introduce myself...

later

With the old -kamikaze and new -zen sources I have the following problem.
My machine is a dual Xeon, dual core setup, 3 GHz processors.

The second processor is detected as having 2.4GHz with with kernel series. It's detected alright with vanilla and gentoo sources.

hi,

I was describing my problems with tuxonice hibernation on thinkpad t60 about two days ago..
It started to work with the latest version (118 revision) ! Thanks.
But now I have sth like that in my kern.log:

found the problem.

In kernel/power/power.h, change line 200 to start with 'struct page'.

ah well, thanks for all the fixes - working zen kernel again

. here's a patch and pre-compiled sources (2.6.24-rc7-zen1) for the interested :

hirakendu · Guru Joined: 24 Jan 2007 Posts: 386 Location: san diego

ps - i have observed something strange with this kernel - when in gnome (2.18.1) and using gnome-terminal, portage hangs (at least using 'emerge --search'). strangely, that doesn't happen in kde and konsole

. didn't happen in 2.6.24-rc7-zen0 (before 'big' merges

).

and a strange alsa-centric issue. quake3 (icculus, from portage) has sound problems when using openal. (oss has a slight stutter at times.) however, when playing an mp3 in background and starting the game, its fine

. and it remains fine even after the music is over

.
aside, anyone playing doom3 may use version 1.3.1.1304 (latest in portage is doom3-1.3.1302-r2, perhaps because newer one breaks mods). in older versions, alsa is broken, and game stutters with oss.
