Karsten, |
| 17 |
My inputs were never suggested as an addition to gentoo-sources. |
| 18 |
This would be a completely parallel path to take. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
NOTE: Why update 2.6.13-r5 to 2.6.14? Why not just build 2.6.14? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
In my case I do not know how to: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
1) Determine what patches the Gentoo devs add to gentoo-sources AND |
| 25 |
why they added them. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
2) When someone here is kind enough to point out how I find the answer |
| 28 |
to #1 then I still have no idea how to determine which of those |
| 29 |
patches are important to me and my machines. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
My preferences in this area have always been: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
1) Use gentoo-sources if it works for my application. I have 5 Gentoo |
| 34 |
boxes here at home and 3 at my parents house. Of the 8 machines 7 run |
| 35 |
gentoo-sources. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
2) Use some other kernel if required. It seems that on my AMD64 |
| 38 |
machine I am (so far) unable to get the same acceptable realtime |
| 39 |
performance as I get on my IA-32 machines using gentoo-sources. When I |
| 40 |
determine that I can I will go back to running gentoo-sources on |
| 41 |
AMD64. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I don't know if any of this is helping you. I can only hope. |

cheers, |
