Re: kernel26 ZEN (ex kamikaze).

I really didn't see it. But it is git dependent... In my computer I don't have a fast internet connection (only a dial up). I want to download the kernel sources and the zen patches form a different computer of a friend of mine (running windows) and make the compilation to mine (like to the older packages of kamikaze). I will try to modify the PKGBUILD. Could I use the config files from this packet? Thanks you.

I have a small problem... What is the "correct" way for graphical boot? I am using gensplash with kernel-2.6.21-viper with no problems. Putting the following line to grub's menu.lst

kernel /boot/vmlinuz26zen root=/dev/hda3 vga=792 video=vesafb:mtrr:3,ywrap splash=silent,kdgraphics,theme:darch console=tty1

It works but not from the beginning... It displays first the initial kernel loading showing the Gentoos Logo and after some seconds  it shows the image of the arch linux logo with the loading bar. Is there any special parameter?
