[arch-dev-public] Kernel 2.6.24-rc1
Hey all, I thought it would be worthwile to mention my experiences with 2.6.24-rc1 on my x86_64 laptop. Compiling ========= It seems that i386 and x86_64 get merged into only one architecture called x86. That brings a few issues with the current PKGBUILD, such as files not being there to copy anymore. When every x86_64 tag gets changed into just x86 though, everything is fine. I was able to cleanly build and use madwifi, nvidia on the other hand failed to even just build. Pretty much to be expected, huh? Anyway, I don't know how much changed for our i686 side. Running ======= One out of 4 boots my machine hung right after detecting its discs. At first I though it had to do with the new "tickless kernel" option but in the end I wasn't able to solve it. I'm using sata-nv on a all nvidia board. Anyway, just a little heads up for all of you in case you wondered what's so special about .24. ;) Cheers, -G

I wanted to try as well today, but I used my git tree to build, not the rc1 (there have been tons of changes since rc1 already). Result: {standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:434: Error: symbol `vsysc2' is already defined make[1]: *** [arch/x86/kernel/vsyscall_64.o] Error 1 I have no idea what to do here, so I am waiting until it gets magically fixed by a git-pull.
