nchancock 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 Question: is there a wiki or a FAQ or something that I can read about the new kernel? i.e. what is the advantage of 2.6.11 over 2.6.8.1 and/or can I (or even should I) install the NITRO patch? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a13x 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 Well, you can read the changelogs at kernel.org and find out what's different. The nitro patch makes your kernel faster, more responsive, increases performance in games and adds new features. Go to the Gentoo forums and read about all the new features.

Just for interest, kernel-multimedia has reiser4, inotify, lufs and swsusp2. Main MDK kernel has at least inotify and lufs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iphitus 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2005 are you sure that the multimedia kernel has reiser4? they all have reiser3, dont get it confused with that...... The speed improvements all come from the ck kernel patches that the nitro kernel piggybacks on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adamw 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2005 (edited) iphitus: yes, multimedia definitely has reiser4 (main doesn't), and the reiser4 userspace tools are in contrib. Though I should clarify I'm talking about Cooker here, they weren't in the 10.1 multimedia kernel. I think danny and svetljo use a lot of stuff from the ck patchset in multimedia, but I don't follow the details. Edited March 4, 2005 by adamw Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
