*downloading atm*

How did you fix the issues with vmware, what was the problem with it ?

- Anyways, thanks for your release tiger and iphitus, i know it will work

Edit: Problems here:

Code: Select all

brotkastn brot # emerge -pv beyond-dev-sources

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies

correction:

Code: Select all

echo "sys-kernel/beyond-dev-sources -*" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

PS: thx for pointing out.

PS2: as far as i'm concerned, the libata drive detection bug is gone

The Dynamic Tick patch was included as late as 2.6.16-rc3-nitro1 by my kernel configs... I just noticed that it's now missing. Could we have it back?

I think it my have helped my laptop's battery life, and every second of battery helps!

Thanks

Dyntick is broken as of 2.6.16, it is no longer included in ck, and con said he stops maintaining the patch, so, it's basically dead...

gr8 release.
but how do i remove the werd postfix from the kernel version mine is "2.6.16-beyond-git4-g88dbd723", which causes troubles with
nvidia-kernel.... This happened to me on nitro-git too, but only when i used the manual approach(i dont like using portage on kernels)

oh man, now i get it what is causing this.

I will fix it as soon as possible!

EDIT: resolution added in red letters to non-gentoo install howto

gentoo users don't need the seed tarball ?

For gentoo users, the seed tarball gets downloaded automatically by the ebuild/eclass

So, thy need it, but thy don't have to download manually.

Thanks tiger and iphitus for this very well working release. I think this will be a really great kernel,...

well thanks for your afforts into this new project!
I did really like your nitro sources @Tiger

I'm thinking to switch over to beyond dev-sources.

When do you think is the right point to switch over from nitro if speed and stability was my main-love on nitro

did all speedup-things allready merged into beyond-dev-sources ? If not yet, when will things come true ?

In other words: how much of 'nitro' goes into 'beyond-dev-sources' concerning "speed"

I'm ready

Thank You!

cheers, dR0PS

Ok everything seems to work again, my sata dvd too. Thank you!

But please warn users about the following: The order of the voltage table for undervolting is reversed , so this crashed my system and actually could have destroyed my cpu as well! So please take care...

Hi there!

The Quick and dirty patch for vmware doesn't work for me

In vmware-config.pl find:

. 'not have the same address space size as your running '
. 'kernel.' . "\n\n", 0);
}
return '';
}
}

and change to:

. 'not have the same address space size as your running '
. 'kernel.' . "\n\n", 0);
}
# return '';
}
}

it still says: not have the same address space size as your running kernel when running vmware-config.pl
what am i doing wrong here ? It's just the commenting sign, right ?
the 'linux'-link points to the running kernel....

thanks for help

You don't need the vmware hack with beyond-dev-sources and it does work with beyond sources, so:
what kernel are you running?

PS: Do not forget that you:
a) need the sources pointed to also configured the same way your current running kernel was
easiest to assure this is running:

Code: Select all

gzcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/linux/.config && cd /usr/src/linux/ && make oldconfig && make prepare

b) you must NOT have selected any other memsplit option than (3G/1G user/kernel split) (any other won't work !!!!)

Thanks for the temp patch Tiger, however I also just hacked up my DSDT to make them actually work right =)

Do keep it in there just in case, it doesn't hurt anything!

Hey.. everything's working great here... cisco client, madwifi (stock portage btw), ati-drivers, vmware, all is good! Now we just need to come up with a Beyond logo for boot instead of the normal linux penguin

Edit:
BTW, I didn't need to modify the vmware-config.pl, it did work just fine stock, and leaving the memsplit where it is (not that I know what it does anyway :p )
