a kernel patch surprise

[geneiros]

Please write in english,

cannot understand what you're saying...

[NicCo]

I think the Mandriva Kernel is not working for PCLinuxOS, never tried,
due to the different inittools and other differences in the linux boot area

bye, NicCo

[sameeer_45]

there is some people in other forum say

everyone can patch his kernel with this sh file

Code: Select all

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/59511828/cgroup_patch

so i patched my mandriva kernel

after that i was afraid to use my mandriva because that patch is third party patch

and you know what that mean

yes i mean security PROBLEM

Anyway

he says after that

put it at your home folder and open treminal and write these commands

Code: Select all

cd user_home_folder

Code: Select all

chmod +x cgroup_patch

Code: Select all

./cgroup_patch

======================

what i want to say

yes i am stupid because i can after that patching i can remove patched kernel and install an other one

now i can answer you

i was afraid that there will be an other things about security in my system

so i decided to reinstall the whole system

======================

now can anyone tell us that

the patch which i founded there is clean or not

[NicCo]

In the top of first msg, you could read

Kernel 2.6.36.1 NRJ and -NRJ-PAE for Mandriva Linux

http://mib.pianetalinux.org/mib/forum/v ... 871#p13873


In the More Info / Main Features
there are all the info about which kernel is better for different PC


Briefly, nrj-pae is a kernel flavour only suited for 32bit (there is No nrj-pae for 64bit):
- the 64bit is already natively capable addressing and using 64GB or even more memory
- the 32bit normally it's capable to use only up to 3Gb, the nrj with PAE enable memory support up to 64GB,

so if your kernel arch is 32bit, and you have 4Gb of memory or more, and you want to use all, the kernel-nrj-pae-destkop is the suggested chooose.

if your kernel arch is 64bit, and you have 4Gb of memory or more, you must use simply kernel-nrj-desktop (nrj-pae is not for 64bit)

thanks to you developers

but i notice that the nrj-pae 2.6.36.1 kernel

is not quick as you say and its not stable with may computer

first

when i want to start my computer every thing is good but when my system up to the login screen it will stop there ((not freez)) I MEAN YOU CAN SEE the mouse cursor and you can move it and it shows to me that the computer now trying to load, and i wait for a long long time ((even longer than 3m)) and when i press enter button on that state the whole system has been freezed so after that i restart
my system and there is no problem

===============

second

when i try to start my system ((just like what i said before)) there will be problem just like that
but not black screen its a terminal screen show to me what happening behind the gnome-desktop

what i mean is the whole system is running now but in terminal without GUI that the users should use it

[NicCo]

have you already tried:
disabling speedboot?

Often speeboot creates these kind of problems, i disable it
