linux-2.6.21_ck.nix I have added a special kernel 2.6.21 with the Con Kolivas patches that are designed to improve system responsiveness with specific emphasis on the desktop, but suitable to any workload. (and also the other patches like ext3cow and paravirt-nvidia) 2007-11-17 16:29:15 +00:00

*** Updating the kernel configs ***

- Copy the old Nix expression (e.g. linux-2.6.21.nix) to the new one
  (e.g. linux-2.6.22.nix) and update it.
- Add an new attribute to all-packages.nix.
- Unpack the new kernel.

For each platform (i686, x86-64, uml):

- Make an svn copy from the old config (e.g. config-2.6.21-i686-smp)
  to the new one (e.g. (e.g. config-2.6.22-i686-smp).
- Copy the config file for this platform
  (e.g. config-2.6.22-i686-smp) to .config in the kernel source tree.
- Run `make oldconfig ARCH={i386,x86_64,um}', answer all questions.
  (For the uml configuration, also add "SHELL=bash".)
- Make sure that CONFIG_FB_TILEBLITTING is NOT SET (otherwise fbsplash
  won't work).  If it is, investigate why (there's probably another
  option that forces it to be on) and fix it.
- Copy .config over the new config file (e.g. config-2.6.21-i686-smp).
