See my note about x86-64 in the other mail. I'll flip it on tomorrow, and we'll see if it builds now..

Enabling PARAVIRT stuff in Fedora kernels
Hi, I just tried the latest Fedora rawhide kernel (2.6.26-0.115.rc9.git2.fc10.x86_64) in a kvm virtual machine, and I noticed that it doesn't have all the paravirtual goodness available in 2.6.26. The cost of setting PARAVIRT, PARAVIRT_CLOCK and PARAVIRT_GUEST to 'y' is suposed to be pretty minimal on bare metal, and it gives a nice boost running inside kvm. Have you guys considered turning on these options for Fedora kernels? Thanks, Roland ___ Fedora-kernel-list mailing list Fedora-kernel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-kernel-list
Adding the r5u870 patch to the kernel
Hello everyone, I noticed that you don't have the webcam driver for some of the hp and sony notebooks. So I patched up the original code that was originally written by Sam Revitch. If anyone would like to build the kernel with this driver then follow the instructions below. If you want to build it the rpm way, then you are going to need the r5u870-2.6.25.9-76.patch. Next go to the base of the rpm directories. So you should see in the directory BUILD, RPMS, SOURCES, SPECS, SRPMS. Next type in the following patch -p0 < /path_to_where_the_patch_is_sitting/r5u870-2.6.25-9-76.patch Next type in rpmbuild -bb SPECS/kernel.spec Now type in cd BUILD/kernel-2.6.25/linux-2.6.25.i386/ Next you need to either use config of your choice. There are plenty of them in the current path. (To get a list of them type in 'ls -l config-*'). Another option is to use one of the configs from the /boot directory. In this example I will copy /boot/config-2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686 file and use that for my config file. So type in the following: cp /boot/config-2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686 .config Now you need to add the r5u870 device to the configuration file. You can add it with the following line: echo "CONFIG_USB_R5U870=m\n">> .config or make menuconfig and go through the menus to find USB Ricoh Cameras Device Drivers -> Multimedia devices -> Video capture adapters -> V4L USB devices USB Ricoh Cameras Naturally you can change any thing you like in the config (I like to change the processor to Core 2 now a days). It is all up to you. Once you have the configuration to your liking. The the final step is to type in: make rpm This will take some time. But you should end up with a kernel in the RPMS directory. I have included another patch for plain kernels, and does not update the spec file. Good Luck, and have Fun!
