My Custom Kernel Patchset - 2.6.22-10 up to 12, and Vanilla (I think...) |
|
Thursday, 04 October 2007 |
I have really fallen in love with Kubuntu, and I am coming pretty far along in making it "mine." Besides the speed tweaks, hacks, and UI customizations, I didn't have a custom kernel. So I have made one, in a sense, via a patchset based on the kamikaze patchset. You can get a copy of mine here, and it SHOULD apply to any kernel from the Ubuntu or Vanilla sources up to now from 2.6.22-10. I haven't tried it with the newest vanilla release, though. You may have to play a little with some patches here or there to settle some line discrepancies, but they should still work. Make sure to read "series," as it contains the patch order and other informations. Some patches probably won't apply, like the matt-version patch, but don't sweat it. Just do a dry run before you try it.
This patchset includes:- The CFS scheduler
- Power saving patches
- Some minor speed tweaks
- A choice of some HZ frequencies that decrease overhead and increase speed
- A few other things, like file system drivers, and the xpad driver
I will try to write a tutorial about this, and include info regarding kernel optomisation. Whatever the case, give my patches a try, and read "series"!
