It is now ready. What I have done is switch the i686 and x86_64 kernels to a mostly modular design. This means there are fewer builtin things like filesystems and hard drive modules. They are provided by the initrd now which tries to guess what modules you need to load your root partition and loads those. I've tested it in several situations myself, and it works better than the old kernel for me. It fixes several issues and in some cases speeding up booting. I am asking for testers for it. If there is no serious problems reported, it will be merged on Monday. Only test if you are willing to and are using current.
Make a file called /etc/pacman-g2/repos/initrdtesting and add these lines for your appropriate CARCH: [initrdtesting] Server=http://ftp.frugalware.org/pub/other/people/ryuo/initrdtesting/frugalware-@CARCH@ Now, in your /etc/pacman-g2.conf, add this line, being sure that it is before current: Include = /etc/pacman-g2/repos/initrdtesting Next, run this command as needed until fully up2date: pacman-g2 -Syu Finally, you must update your grub config. You should be able to get away with just running grubconfig. However, if your situation is too complex for grubconfig, add this line to your existing Frugalware entry, being sure to adjust it as needed: initrd (frugalware grub root partition)/boot/initrd.img.xz That should be all for the instructions. _______________________________________________ Frugalware-devel mailing list [email protected] http://frugalware.org/mailman/listinfo/frugalware-devel
