"The Kernel Formerly Known As Hercules"

Kid tested, mother approved.

Make sure you have your config and logo_linux_clut224.ppm in the build dir. You can copy them from /var/abs/kernels/kernel26.

Enjoy!

I stopped making these now that I dont use them. I dont like the way the new maintainer is making these nitro packages. I've gone back to cko

dtw · 2005-01-19 05:08:09

no need! for crying out loud! what have you done changed the 3 to a 4?!

ARGH!

Jet2k5 · 2005-01-22 03:53:30

is there any pre-compiled kernels

dtw · 2005-01-22 08:11:41

try kernel24, kernel26, the scsi versions and kernel26mm :evil:

Jet2k5 · 2005-01-22 19:43:22

I was referring to a pre-compile 2.6.10-nitro4 kernel. I have 2.6.10-nitro1 on my system, but was wondering if I should update it.

dtw · 2005-01-23 09:38:00

i know you were

Cotton · 2005-01-23 13:44:25

Needed to change line 135 of the PKPBUILD from:

cd $startdir/pkg/lib/modules/$kernelver &&

to

cd $startdir/pkg/lib/modules/$kernelver-ARCH &&

for it to compile properly.

cmp · 2005-01-24 13:02:19

i got some questions concerning the nitro kernel, is there any site explaining the benefits of using this kernel? i found the orignal site a bit uninformative.
and how do i disable the video mode selection prompt at boot time?

dtw · 2005-01-25 11:41:15

that is because you have selected "the next generation" framebuffer (it's default) but not properly configured your bootloader to pass the information to the kernel. this sucks. if you use fb-vesa you need one set of things in your boot loader, you need another if you use fb-tng. the two are in compatible, so if you want run two kernels, one with fb-vesa and one with fb-tng, you have to change you bootloader config before you reboot!

i guess you ahve nearly always used fb-vesa before - if you use fbsplash - so i would reccommend a recompile to get rid of fb-tng which is MUCH slower than fb-vesa anyway

NOTE: After patching the kernel, setting mode via the old vga= way WILL NOT WORK. You'll have to specify the mode you want to set through the video option, for example: video=vesafb:ypan,1024x768-32@85.

have a look at http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash#C … bootloader

and it will aswer your questions

that is the first question i know i have answered correctly for ages!
