2.6.16-no1 "One of a kind" New release based on 2.6.16-mm2. Nicksched is now the default cpu scheduler from plugsched. Suspend2 has been dropped from no-sources because it will not work with -mm, even when fixed, it needs too much. However, if you are looking for suspend2, I suggest waiting for -noli which will be here for early 2.6.17 stages. It will include suspend2, and plugsched, and most of the other patches in -no. It WILL NOT Include the mm patchset. Only a few patches from the -mm patchset will be in -noli Enjoy this release of no-sources, it is a special one. -cheater-conrad [Stability test to the maX] { Talking about stability and no-sources, before I shipped out this kernel, I built it with a test .config file This file includes about every single driver except oss sound support, and it was built for x86 perfectly, with the no patch of this release. The config can be found here: http://no.oldos.org/files/2.6.16-no1/test-config } [CPUSCHED] { There are 9 available cpu schedulers you can choose from 1) You can either select the default in kernel config (General Setup > CPU Schedulers) in menuconfig or, 2) You can set the kernel parameter, cpusched="NAME" (replacing name with something like ingo_ll), in your grub/lilo config. Available options are: cpusched="nicksched" cpusched="staircase" cpusched="zaphod" cpusched="spa_no_frills" cpusched="spa_ws" cpusched="spa_svr" cpusched="spa_ebs" cpusched="ingosched" cpusched="ingo_ll" } [Nicksched] { Also available is the the option to change the base_timeslice variable.The recommended setting is 128 for the most interactivity. If you set it too low some applications may fail. You can define the timeslice via kernel configuration. You can view the base_timeslice setting being used in /sys/cpusched/nicksched/base_timeslice. } {SPLASHUTILS} { Splashutils is broken for all 2.6.16 kernels, luckily there is a fix I created for it.
