Re: Making Arch Faster[solved]

Are there repositories containing kernels patched with these patchsets? ;-)

I use the CK patchset, and using it, there is a *noticable* increase in system responsiveness and speed.

With the stock kernel I get all sorts of audio stuttering and a lower FPS, with CK they are silky smooth.

CK isnt just a silly patchset, the work into it is real, and it isnt dirty hacks to gain a bit of speed here and there.

Sure, but I don't do those things... I don't play ET and CS.... for *me* the performance increase is minor (what's it going to do, speed up vim?)

Re: Making Arch Faster[solved]

You all know what would be fun? If there was a kernel-repo, with different kernels with different patches, (example: CK, CKO, Security-enhanced and so on..)  I know that the mm-patches is in the repos, but what about the other ones that exists....It would be nice to have them availible with pacman..

Re: Making Arch Faster[solved]

I said this a millions time before - if you want speed optimize your kernel to your architecture - and do this while building a patchset yourself

I mean common guys, what with penguins script and my PKGBUILD and the other contributions could it be any easier?!

It doesnt just affect games phrakture, overall the system is much more responsive, and noticably quicker. X starts quicker, apps start quicker, heck, firefox renders it's pages quicker. If you want to, hit irc, ask shastry, he compiled himself a 2.6.11-ck9 yesterday and was blown away by the improvement in responsiveness and interactivity over mainline. He doesnt play games either.

Dont bag it till you've tried it, and a current one at that.

Re: Making Arch Faster[solved]

I also found it strange that there are no flavoured-kernel packages in AUR.

People probably make a kernel for their machine only (precise config file), not for global use.

Re: Making Arch Faster[solved]

if you want it, i just revived one of my old pkgbuilds and made ya a package for 2.6.11-ck9. ck9 includes 2.6.11.11.

http://iphitus.loudas.com/arch/kernel26 … pkg.tar.gz

pkgbuild, filelist, and other stuff needed to makepkg.

iphitus

btw, dont shoot me dibble, i just updated the version on an old package of mine, and the point here is to provide a compiled versions for those here who wish to try ck. the arch config takes aaaages to compile

Re: Making Arch Faster[solved]

It kernel panicked on me. :'(

I would try building it (Cotton set me a PKGBUILD), but I don't know if I'll bother just now, I think I may be installing the arch64 port one of these days, so I might wait till after that.

Does ck support reiser4 or would another patch be in order?

Re: Making Arch Faster[solved]

if you want reiser4 or suspend2 or fbsplash you need -cko - which is what I use

should i put my PKGBUILD in the AUR then?  i wasn't sure it was appropriate...

iph - I REALLY want your assitance in stripping my kernel smile

Re: Making Arch Faster[solved]

You can also patch reiser4 with
http://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiser4-for-2.6/
the patches there.

Dusty: What was the error it panicked about?
It could be a completely bung kernel, im not able to test it because I use reiser4 and standard CK doesnt include R4.

dibble: grab me on irc any friday/saturday any time.

Re: Making Arch Faster[solved]

iphitus: I couldn't say, it output a bunch of hex before saying kernel panic... no textual error, or it scrolled offscreen. I'll build it myself though, its on my todo-for-interest's sake list now... The question is just... when?

Re: Making Arch Faster[solved]

I'm using reiser4 now with a custom built kernel.org kernel and patches from namesys, but was really interested in some of the desktop-centric things that ck* patchset provides.

I'll just start trying out kernels and see how they work!

Re: Making Arch Faster[solved]

I believe the main problem is not the PKGBUILD, but the config file, which should be a *working* extended version of the stock config file.

When did it panic, at what stage of the boot?

Re: Making Arch Faster[solved]

Guys!  It is in there!  Isn't it?  It's linked on the wiki about 26 times smile

It's here in the meantime

I'll submit it to the AUR when I get back home - no internet access for my box till then!
