Just a quick introduction, and sharing of good news. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I upgraded my PPC64 mac (iMac G5) to 2.6.27 today, I had huge issues |
| 7 |
getting a kernel I liked (Couldn't really justify bloating it to just |
| 8 |
`make it work' on a gentoo machine..) to run on the machine (unfamiliar |
| 9 |
hardware). |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Anyway, .26 was released, I had issues with it on my x64 machines, but |
| 12 |
decided to give it a burl on my mac. 2 days of messing with the config |
| 13 |
and I got nowhere, gave up and stuck with .24 |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Today, portage pulled the .27 sources in and I though `What the hell'. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
make oldconfig, answer the questions sensibly, build, install; by now |
| 18 |
I've forgotten the OF command to boot a different kernel, so I cross my |
| 19 |
fingers, symlink /boot/vmlinux to my shiny new .27 kernel and reboot. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
EVERYTHING works, flawlessly, nothing needed tuning, nothing needed |
| 22 |
tweaking, it all just went. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
AFAIK I have not had any obvious gains either, ie can't do anything I |
| 25 |
couldn't do before (at least not anything I know of), but I felt I'd |
| 26 |
share my joy, and ask if anyone else had had the same issues in the |
| 27 |
past, or successes in the much more recent past! |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Kind regards, I look forward to conversing with you all. |
