Re: Ck

I used to use it and it always had one hunk that failed which is below. It's because the ck patchset adds some KERN_ lines i think.

diff --git a/include/linux/sysctl.h b/include/linux/sysctl.h
index 81480e6..98cd75a 100644
--- a/include/linux/sysctl.h
+++ b/include/linux/sysctl.h
@@ -160,6 +160,7 @@ enum
     KERN_MAX_LOCK_DEPTH=74,
     KERN_NMI_WATCHDOG=75, /* int: enable/disable nmi watchdog */
     KERN_PANIC_ON_NMI=76, /* int: whether we will panic on an unrecovered */
+    KERN_FBSPLASH=77,    /* string: path to fbsplash helper */
 };

I always had to open up <kernelsrc>/include/linux/sysctl.h and find all those KERN_ lines. Go to the last one and add the KERN_FBSPLASH line and manually put in the number so instead of 77 it would be +1 of the one above it.

Re: Ck

The kernel26ck package is kernel26 + the ck patchset, and I have no plans to change that. If I have time, I'll look at merging them, and providing the combined patchset for download somewhere. However, I can't say at the moment if or when that will happen, so maybe you guys, or somebody else, could work it out in the meantime.

I see spock is still on 2.6.20-rc6 with gensplash, so it's probably not worth trying until he does a 2.6.21 release.
