Hi everyone, |

I just added linux, linux-sources, linux-headers and linux-extras-2.4.10 to |
| 4 |
CVS. These new kernels are *amazing*. Right now, the "linux" package uses a |
| 5 |
goofy default configuration; use linux-sources instead. Instructions below. |

I think you'll notice a *tremendous* speed improvement thanks to Andrea |
| 8 |
Archangeli's VM rewrite and the included preemptible kernel patches. It's like |
| 9 |
getting a 2.6 kernel 18 months early :) |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
To use this new kernel, do a: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
# emerge sys-kernel/linux-sources-2.4.10 |
| 14 |
# cd /usr/src/linux |
| 15 |
# make menuconfig |
| 16 |
# make dep; make clean; make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install |
| 17 |
# mount /boot |
| 18 |
(on rc5-) |
| 19 |
# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/boot/bzImage-2.4.10 |
| 20 |
# vim /boot/boot/grub/menu.lst |
| 21 |
(on rc6+) |
| 22 |
# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-2.4.10 |
| 23 |
# vim /bootgrub/menu.lst |
| 24 |
(then) |
| 25 |
# umount /boot |
| 26 |
# reboot |
| 27 |
|

Best Regards, |
