So, did the people-who-are-having-the-problem-of-the-kernel-hanging-right-after-the-'floppy'-message make sure to enable the new "generic/default IDE" option?

I installed and successfuly booted the 2.6.3-love1 sources, but i cant compile the madwifi drivers against them. Both the latest cvs and the emerge of madwifi spit out about a thousand errors when trying to compile the modules against the 2.6.3-love1 sources. I rebooted into my old kernel and they compile cleanly (im doing make clean && make). I don't have net access when i am in the 2.6.3-love1 sources b/c the modules wont compile, so ill get on later and post the messages (but i swear there were a thousand warnings...)
Thanks

A few lines above that, this message(at driver initialisation I suppose):

Any clue on what's causing this?

Something to do with bootsplash. I just commented out my bootsplash options and it booted fine.

I tried updating bootsplash, but it didn't help.

EDIT: I also removed the bootsplash service from default.

Something in Con's new ionice-able CFQ seems to break the anticipatory scheduler. noop and deadline still work. If you try to use as, it hangs at the point where it checks floppy / IDE.

Count another one with smb & ht enabled and the hang while decompressing!
Great job anyway, my first hang with love

Could this be interesting ?? http://www.yl.is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~tosh/kml/

My love-kernel hangs on boot.

Last message I get is "saa 7146 found ..."

Who draw a heart in the penguin logo during the boot

it looks good .
It's working for me anyway.

Frame buffer problems for me too...disabling initrd and bootsplash from the services does the trick...

Compiles fine with gcc 3.4 and with -ftracer as compile flag. I don't know if it slows down (due to bigger size) or speeds up (due to better code), I will take a look at that...
Hopefully it boots.

I'm still talking with Nick about the smp hang.

Kernel Mode Linux is a bad idea. That opens up way too many vulnerabilites and escalation attacks.

Belgabor made the logo. Send all of your praise of the logo to him.

Good work steel300. Another sound release..
and loved the luv-tux

Any info anywhere for the new cflags thingy

fca · Post by **fca** » Thu Feb 19, 2004 3:24 pm

OK, it booted fine (after I disabled the anticipatory scheduler, which made it hang).
so, gcc 3.4 and -ftracer can build a kernel...

Console is a mess though, using the new RadeonFB.

Yeah i know, but would be great to run f.ex. both distcc and X in kernelspace

Maybe would be exec shield more interesting but i know pax has its own stuff for this.

And confirmed: without the smb & ht stuff the kernel boots and i can see the luv-logo. Even bootsplash works here ...

The new cflags thing is under kernel hacking options, it allows you to select what CFLAGS your kernel is compiled with. Check the help on it, and it will explain more.

So is there a bootsplash patch available? or we just carry on without bootsplash? ---Shoot the bootsplash---- 100pts!@

http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/stuff/boot ... .patch.bz2 is the new bootsplash that works. I'll be sure to include it in the next release.

Any info anywhere for the new cflags thingy :?:

I hacked the cflags hacking in. If I ever find the time to benchmark some results I'll put them on my site and there will be something resembling a "home", but until then everything I wrote on it is in the config help, as steel said.

I've evily compiled the kernel with -ffast-math

No problems yet

@steel300

Is it posible to add this driver to love-sources?
http://www.ite.com.tw/pc/LinuxSrc_it8212_092005-05.zip

its driver for IT8212F ATA133 RAID Controller ( known as GigaRAID ), I need to compile it always after kernel change, maby you could somehow add it to the package?

here is more info:

thanks steel300 for the hard work.

I have been playing with this patchset and slimmed it down for my needs. Your work is very much appreciated. Please keep me posted on Nick's policies progress as I have currently removed that patch from the set. I am very interested in the patch.

I'll see what I can do. I'll try to get it in, but I make no promises.

that bootsplash patch you linked to is corrupted/broken.
either that, or I'm an idiot who is improperly using bzip2 -d to extract the patch.
