2.6.13.1-nitro1 "The Legend Continues" [STATUS: TESTING]

Message

seppe · Post by **seppe** » Sat Sep 17, 2005 6:50 pm

Hey, time for a new nitro, don't you think?

READ THIS FIRST: A GENERAL WARNING
Nitro-sources is a patchset for the Linux kernel designed to improve desktop performance and experience. Please note that nitro-sources *can* be unstable and that neither me or the other nitro-sources developers are responsible for breaking up your machine. ALWAYS keep a second, stable kernel image ready in your boot manager!
If something is broken while you run this release, please retry with a clean vanilla kernel. Never bug the gentoo devs while running this kernel, bug us instead in this thread ... although we can not guarantee to fix your problems all the time.

READ THIS FIRST: A RELEASE SPECIFIC WARNING
The status of this release is still "testing". All patches do compile cleanly (at least at my machine), but I haven't tested that all patches do their work right.
This can especially be dangerous at systems who run Reiser4. Reiser4 isn't tested *yet*. It does compile cleanly, but since I don't run this filesystem I can't tell that it works correctly. Please test this (but be aware that it *can* b0rk your system!!) and let us know in this thread that reiser4 works or not. Thanks

Trying this out now

Nice.

*now compiling*

I get the following errors when doing make && make modules_install

Code: Select all

Also, I noticed you don't have the usb fast mouse polling patch added as the 12-nitro5 had. Would it be possible to include this?

Thanks.

Hey, it looks like your error has something to do with nvidia's agp. I didn't checked that because I don't have an nvidia card but I'll see what I can do. Can you try to disable software suspend?

About the usb fast polling patch, I didn't include it because on the official website of the patch they see that it's in the official 2.6.12 kernel. See http://omfg.linux.dk/pub/chmp/

Thanks for having a look, I hope I can get it working sometime because I'm enthusiastic of trying this new release

. I'm still a bit confused about the polling patch, so it's in the official 12 but not 13? :-/

Also, I like how you returned things back to the normal menus with menuconfig, though the green colors are a bit odd (if that's even sources dependant).

Well, I'm not sure either. But I have a patch ready if you want. I'll upload it asap as an addon.

I added it as an addon patch. Copy/paste from what I added to the first post in this thread:

And now I go to my local bar, see ya and let me know that it works or not in this thread.

First of all, the good news:

The kernel compiled without any problem on my machine!

Code: Select all

Linux sulphur 2.6.13.1-nitro1 #1 Sat Sep 17 22:32:01 CEST 2005 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

Second, the bad news:

First of all, I miss the nitro-logo at bootup

Then, this message appeared during boot:

Adding 250480k swap on /dev/hde2.  Priority:-1 extents:1
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.

Looks like something wents wrong.

But after that the kernel boots as it should. The main problem is: No I switched back to 2.6.12-nitro5 and the same error came! So seems like now something is screwed up. Perhaps I'll recover my complete backup from yesterday.

Yikes! I better do a backup before I experiment any further

Thanks for reminding me.

I've got the source unpacked, I'll compile it later. Just wanna know, do all 2.6.13 kernels automaticly mount CD drives in /media, or is that just gvivid/vivid? Cause it is a feature I really don't want. I like mounting by hand, so much better for me.

It compiled without any problems and now I'm writing this message using it but I must say I'm missing the nitro logo .... Anyway thx for another great release.

So when is Tiger683 going to come back?

Lenz · Post by **Lenz** » Sat Sep 17, 2005 10:36 pm

My error above doesn't seem to be a nitro problem. Found this in bugzilla:

@seppe

2.6.13-nitro1 up and running - thanxalot

Chances to add Jeff Garzik's libata patches in nitro2?

Gentree · Post by **Gentree** » Sat Sep 17, 2005 10:40 pm

Thanks seppe, I'm still running 2.6.11-nitro2, where have I been ?!

Time for a clean pair of socks and a new kernel.

great! Does that mean you are using reiser-1.0.5 without any worries?

1.0.5 has been tempting me for a while but I have seen a few worrying posts like the one above.

I have portage on R4 so I dont want it to go down. I may clone it to ext3 just in case.

Excellent, thanks seppe

I wish that I were at home (or on a Linux machine atm--troubleshooting a Windows machine as I type this, lol), so I could try out this guy and report on Reiser4

Gonna do a full backup first, though, just in case.

One quick question: Does the included ck patch have the vm swapping patch (think that was the name)?

Thanks.

Thetargos · Post by **Thetargos** » Sat Sep 17, 2005 10:50 pm

Thanks Seppe, working just fine.

And yes, it does include the Swap hack.

Cinder6 · Post by **Cinder6** » Sat Sep 17, 2005 10:52 pm

Cool

Anybody try it with RR4 yet, or will I be the first once I get home in a few hours? (That is, if nobody beats me to it before then.)

Lenz · Post by **Lenz** » Sat Sep 17, 2005 11:42 pm

Okay, now that the problem above is solved by downgrading udev, everything works fine (also with reiser4) except the nitro logo. So please reintroduce it in -r2.

seppe · Post by **seppe** » Sun Sep 18, 2005 12:35 am

Nice to hear that it works fine. Now I'm going to sleep, because I'm a bit drunk atm

In the bugzilla link you posted, it mentions it is from upgrading to udev-65. Have you tried upgrading again to the new udev-70 rather than downgrading?

bollucks · Post by **bollucks** » Sun Sep 18, 2005 2:24 am

Since ck5 is already out and you're still in testing, why not sync up with that.

Cinder6 · Post by **Cinder6** » Sun Sep 18, 2005 5:06 am

Starting the download now!

Oh, and I couldn't find the staircase scheduler stuff in the config, but the ck4 patches are supposed to have them.
