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. |

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. |
