Hi Bryce, |
| 9 |

In rc4_pre2 we use a 2.4.1-pre8 kernel, with the latest Hardware-Sensors |
| 11 |
patch. Additionaly modules for alsa(0.5.10a) and tools for LVM(0.9.1_beta2) |
| 12 |
are included. |
| 13 |
I recommend updgrading to 2.4.0.11-r3 (alan's ac11 patch based on |
| 14 |
2.4.1-pre11) because there are some low latency |
| 15 |
problems with reiserfs that are fixed better in ac11. |
| 16 |
2.4.0.11-r3 includes an additional patch that is currently in development |
| 17 |
and should go in 2.4.1 that fixes some problems with nfs and inode-based |
| 18 |
filesystems and a patch agains reiserfs to work with that modifications. |
| 19 |
It also includes the latest lvm-tools (0.9.1_beta3) and the included kernel |
| 20 |
patch. |
| 21 |
There are still a few latency problems in 2.4.0-ac11 but it runs definately |
| 22 |
faster that 2.4.1-pre8. |
| 23 |

You find the locations of the patches in the kernel-ebuilds SRC_URI. All |
| 25 |
homepages for those patches are listed in |
| 26 |
the HOMEPGAE variable. |
| 27 |
Minor fixes on patches that we do are placed in the files subdirectory in a |
| 28 |
dir named like the kernelversion. |
