2.6.17-emission3: Mission: Return to Planet Linux

vipernicus · 2006-07-13 13:08:55

E-Mission Sources is based on the Lockless Pagecache by Nick Piggin, GenPatches, and CK.

The main goal of this patchset is to stay updated with gentoo-sources releases,
offer latest features, decrease latencies, decrease overhead, and improve interactivity. Another
goal of E-Mission Sources is stability. I boot test each release and run for an extended amount of time.

/* Notes */
New version of Suspend2 and Lockless.

Patches included in genpatches: Genpatches 2.6.17-3 Patchlist

Suspend2 has become a separate patch, because I personally do not use it, but I'll
leave it an option for you guys that need it.

I've removed GregKH's devfs removal patch, because it gave a few people some grief with alsa-drivers.

Those of you with SMP and Reiser4, if you have any problems at all, please use 'no-lockless' patch. It has been reported by at least one person that Lockless and Reiser4 do not play nice on Athlon64 X2.

I think you'd get more interest if you post a PKGBUILD in the AUR as well. I can't speak for everyone, but I use pacman for everything, kernels included, so your Manual Method is not of much use to me.

If I have the time, I might put it together myself.

I would appreciate it.

kensai · 2006-07-13 16:16:35

Right it could be made a PKGBUILD but, Kernel does not have to be installed via pacman I have everytime used a manual installed kernel with Arch Linux and all works fine, and it should always be that way.

Emission sources are the best patchset and I love them. They've never let me down and believe me they perform better than beyond *in my opinion* and it uses staircase by default. It should be made a PKGBUILD so anybody up to it?

I was a nitro sources user until they went beyond Tiger686 you lost that one by merging. But with all due respect Beyond is good just not as good as emission *in my opinion*.

Also I wanted to say we need an expert in graphics that can make us a logo. Help is appreciated. We hang out at irc.freenode.net #evo-mission.

-Thanks

Agreed. Nothing has to be installed via pacman, you could install everything from source. I just enjoy the benefits of having pacman control my entire system, kernel and all, and I'm fairly sure some other users do as well.

Well of course.

Not IMO.

Yes - as I said, if I get the time.

Yeah I went wrong in that statement, the funny thing is that I didn't even remember I wrote that so it was written with instinct instead of thought.

Hi vipernicus.

Im currently reading how to submit stuff to AUR and would lke to work on emission sources. Lmk

brazzmonkey · 2006-07-21 07:31:32

damn, vipernicus, you're here as well..!
thank you for your how to, that makes it pretty much straightforward for noobs like me...

Im back. Currently reading how the current beyond kernel is installed via pacman. Might just cp the PKGBUILD for emission-sources.

Keep up the good work.

Hi,

I got a working PKGBUILD for the kernel 2.6.17 with E-Mission4 patchset.

It's in the AUR now.

ViNS

P.S. x64 are not supported yet. I'm working on it....

brazzmonkey · 2006-07-25 12:00:19

thanks for that one !!

Nice work. However I tried your PKGBUILD and one that I made and found a lot of things wont compile against it. video drivers and wifi drivers....

So i went back to beyond for the time being. Hopefully with enough users we can get ati-fglrx-emission and other drivers made for the emission kernel.

Anyone know how to change these packages to install against emission sources>?

Vins · 2006-07-25 13:01:26

the ati-fglrx-emission is ready. I'm uploading it to the AUR right now.

BTW I'm trying to fix some problems with the kernel emission source, the new version should be ready in few hours.

Vins · 2006-07-25 13:42:47

I added a patch to fix the problem reported here: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/ … /0289.html.

There's still a problem with the module "ufs.ko" (ufs.ko needs unknown symbol ufs_frag_map)

Wow, thanks for finding that! I just emailed predatorfreak, who works on core that bugfix, should be fixed in emission5.

djpharoah · 2006-07-25 15:21:54

If no one does it anytime soon, I think I will upload the madwifi-emission package to AUR.

Vins · 2006-07-26 09:37:53

Hi,

Bluetooth doesn't work with emission sources. Is someone experiencing the same issue?

Is there a patch that is missing? I will try it out tonight on my laptop.
