Kernel 3.7.10 QL (Quantum Leap) for ROSA MARATHON 2012, ROSA Desktop 2012 (2012.1) and Mandriva 2010, MDV2011.0
Starting from the Kernel 3.7.9:
- add a workaround to fix issue with dkms drivers for recent distros:
- /linux/version.h symlink to /include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h

Available kernel flavours are: nrjQL-desktop
should follows, later this day, other flavours like nrjQl-realtime, nrjQL-laptop, nrjQL-netbook

General INFO about the new project - Read carefully!
Kernel nrjX(treme?), the Next Generation... a step forward


nrjQL suffix is the new codename > http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_leap

Metaphorically, quantum leap also means a "quantum leap" or like a radical paradigm shift in science, technology, or in other contexts.
Metaforicamente, quantum leap indica anche un salto di qualità o un radicale mutamento di paradigma nella scienza, nella tecnologia o in altri contesti.

Starting since this kernel 3.7 series, we started using a new source NRJ model V4 (much improved)
for this 3.7.10 version now we have built only 3 flavours: nrjQL-desktop, nrjQL-realtime, nrjQL-laptop

For all kernel 3.5 and 3.6 versions, we used NRJ model v3
For Kernel from 3.0 to 3.4 series we used model v2, info here >>> viewtopic.php?f=38&t=3551

It's a very complete flavours list
  • kernel-nrjQL-desktop = mainline kernel-nrj-desktop plus the add of +CK1 +BFS +BFQ +TOI +UKSM
  • kernel-nrjQL-desktop-vm > like mainline kernel-nrj-desktop plus the add of +CK1 +BFS +BFQ +TOI +UKSM
    It's the one optimized for desktop use in combo with some Virtual Machine (for example VMWare products)
  • kernel-nrjQL-realtime > like mainline kernel-nrj-realtime plus the add of +CK1 +BFS +BFQ +TOI +UKSM
    It's the one optimized for all realtime and pro audio apps (DAW) > examples: Jackd, Ardour, Rosegarden, ecc...
  • kernel-nrjQL-laptop > like mainline kernel-nrj-laptop plus the add of +CK1 +BFS +BFQ +TOI +UKSM
    with laptop configs and lower internal frequency, ONDEMAND profile to improve battery lasting
  • kernel-nrjQL-netbook > like mainline kernel-nrj-netbook plus the add of +CK1 +BFS +BFQ +TOI +UKSM
    with netbook configs and lower internal frequency, ONDEMAND profile to improve battery lasting
  • kernel-nrjQL-server > like mainline kernel-server plus the add of +CK1 +BFS +BFQ +TOI +UKSM
    to be used in a generic server environment (like LAMP) and other server apps
  • kernel-nrjQL-server-games > like mainline kernel-server plus the add of +CK1 +BFS +BFQ +TOI +UKSM
    to be used in a game server PC for 3D FPS games, for example CounterStrike
  • kernel-nrjQL-server-computing > like mainline kernel-server plus the add of +CK1 +BFS +BFQ +TOI +UKSM
    to be used in a cumputational server when you need some less times to file encoder, converter, and build programs
Then we have all PAE flavours, and for now only one CPU oriented (new Intel) + PAE
  • kernel-nrjQL-desktop-pae
  • kernel-nrjQL-realtime-pae
  • kernel-nrjQL-laptop-pae
  • kernel-nrjQL-netbook-pae
these have been optimized for all Intel cpus greater than Pentium4 (starting from Centrino upto I3/I5/I7)
  • kernel-nrjQL-desktop-core2
  • kernel-nrjQL-desktop-core2-pae

  • New path of the Kernel folders for Mandriva and ROSA
    General INFO about the new kernel paths and also about the new proprietary kernel drivers
  • Before downloading and installing any kernel 3.7.10 flavour, you need to install the Required microcode firmware!
    Microcode firmwares for cpu AMD / INTEL updates
    With the proper cpu microcode enabled you can obtain a more reliability of you system, especially indespensable in server area, so when your cpu has a defect, kernel will found the best work-around to avoid slowdowns, or dangerous oops that could harm till to freeze your OS...
  • Notice for the users of MDV 2011!
    ABF build for 2011 is broken nowdays, when/if the 2011 build side will be fixed you'll find again the rpms.
    Some problems could still occour in Mandriva 2011 by dracut remaining problems with installation and update
    these problems if / when happen are not our fault, because aren't related to the kernel contents or packaging...
    Once I succeeded to solve this ugly problem, installing the "dracut" version from RM2012 repositories into 2011

Bene, vedo che ci sono un bel po'di fix per l'audio HDMI. Appena riesco a "ricostruire" il mio pc, provo.

Ti suggerisco anche l'aggiornamento di PulseAudio 3.0
viewtopic.php?f=38&t=3802

che a me ha risolto alcuni problemi con i volumi dell'audio HDMI

Installato nrjQL su rosa fresh e tutto ok.
Ciao e Grazie!!

Sto rifacendo due PC e, ovviamente, ho installato il kernel in questione. In entrambi sono partito con una rosa fresh x64, release di febbraio. Prima di installare i drivers Nvidia ho provveduto, a scanso di equivoci, ad installare prima il driver vesa. Ho installato da subito il kernel nrjql desktop x64 3.7.10

Primo PC, il mio
Ho abilitato subito tutti irepo, inclusi quello di Xorg 13 e quello con Pulse 3, libreoffice 4, etc.
Ho avuto un problema con l'installazione dei driver nvidia causato dal fatto che il driver x11-driver-nvidia-current 310.32 69.2 richiede come dipendenza il file nvidia-current-doc-html 310.32 69.2 che, ovviamente, sui repo non c'è. Ho risolto installando manualmente i driver nvidia assieme alla versione 69.1 del driver xorg. Puoi, durante il successivo aggiornamento murpmi ha provveduto a cancellare il file doc non compatibile.
Per quanto riguarda l'audio HDMI, anche con pulse 3 non viene riconosciuta l'uscita corretta, ma la buona notizia è che, penso grazie al kernel, la scheda viene riconoscuita e quindi non è più necessario patchare il file default.pa per fare funzionare pulse, ma è sufficiente giocare con le uscite di pulse volume control. Sempre però necessario un reboot perchè l'audio venga riconosciuto come scheda 0 e non 1.
Qualche problema con i miei dischi che, dopo il primo boot, vengono cambiati di ordine (sda diventa sdd, mentre le partizioni raid mantengono il loro ordine).

Secondo PC, datato
Permane il problema dello scambio di dischi (qui non ho nessun sistema raid, ma comunque tre dischi)
Non funziona il driver nvidia long lived: il problema riscontrato è identico a quello rilevato in precedenza col kernel 3.7.8, ma in questo caso il workaround, che ho visto essere inserito di default dagli ultimi kernel, non funziona. Penso che di nuovo il dkms non venga compilato (il messaggio in xorg.log è identico), ma l'origine del problema sembra essere diversa. Idee?

Questa la so...
C'è bisogno di una patch per il dkms che è una cosa differente dal trucchetto del symlink.
Ce l'ho già lì e, appena pronto l'xserver 1.14, conto di rebuildare tutti i pacchetti dei driver video proprietari aggiungendo, ove necessario detta patch.

E' solo questione di tempo (spero non troppo)...

Grazie, aspetterò.
Dato che conosci il problema, potrei temporaneamente risolvere installando manualmente il driver scaricato dal sito Nvidia?

A meno che non abbiano rilasciato nel frattempo versioni corrette del suddetto (ma non mi risulta), no:
installarsi si installa, ma poi fallirà quando cercherà di buildare i moduli per il kernel 3.7.x installato...

Ciao Nicco,
la prima volta ho installato il kernel nel computer dell'ufficio ed è andato tutto bene, ora ho provato sul pc di casa, che sarebbe quello in firma, ma riscontro un kernel panic.
