[gentoo-dev] Kernel

[Bryce Porter]

Hello,

I was wondering what kernel we are using for rc4 and what patches if any
have been applied, as well as where i could get those patches.

Thank you :)

Hi Bryce,

In rc4_pre2 we use a 2.4.1-pre8 kernel, with the latest Hardware-Sensors
patch. Additionaly modules for alsa(0.5.10a) and tools for LVM(0.9.1_beta2)
are included.
I recommend updgrading to 2.4.0.11-r3 (alan's ac11 patch based on
2.4.1-pre11) because there are some low latency
problems with reiserfs that are fixed better in ac11.
2.4.0.11-r3 includes an additional patch that is currently in development
and should go in 2.4.1 that fixes some problems with nfs and inode-based
filesystems and a patch agains reiserfs to work with that modifications.
It also includes the latest lvm-tools (0.9.1_beta3) and the included kernel
patch.
There are still a few latency problems in 2.4.0-ac11 but it runs definately
faster that 2.4.1-pre8.

You find the locations of the patches in the kernel-ebuilds SRC_URI. All
homepages for those patches are listed in
the HOMEPGAE variable.
Minor fixes on patches that we do are placed in the files subdirectory in a
dir named like the kernelversion.

Hm, Daniel reported a few problems (not related to reiserfs) with 2.4.3.
I use 2.4.2.27 since a few
weeks without problems.

Either should be OK -- as far as I can tell, they both have the same level of
ReiserFS patches.  2.4.2-r4 has been well tested (using it on cvs.gentoo.org),
but I haven't tried 2.4.3 yet.

If you are talking about motherboard sensor information, you'll need the
lm_sensors modules, integrated into all modern Gentoo Linux kernels.  You can
learn more about this system and if it meets your needs at
http://www.netroedge.com/~lm78.

Hi,

I am not the kernel maker, but i did hear something
that may be what you are looking for. Its called DMI
and there is an app called dumpdmi is written in perl.
