Thanks, Daniel! That kernel seems to start up ok for me, even though I'm using Karmic, using the binary nvidia. Response times are HUGELY better during java parallel compilation (heavy memory and IO usage and somewhat heavy CPU usage too). Mostly visible while switching workspaces and tabs on Ch

The patch ends up doing things well. All my edits were just to get it in line with lucid. Maybe you can make use of it Darxus. (I ended up editing it by hand, for each of the errors. Maybe there is an easier way to manage patches?) The ppa is here: https://launchpad.net/~chogydan/+archive/ppa

Well, now I'm not sure what the problem is. Lucid has done upgrades to nvidia and to dkms, so I thought I would try compiling and running the kernel again. I accepted all default options. Everything seemed to go well, and the kernel is very fast. Then, very much later, after several re-boots, I

Daniel -- I think it is an Invidia problem, whether with dkms or not. And here's why. I was using Lucid (NOT Karmic) in the compile above. Ubuntu-Studio Lucid doesn't install or run any more for me; with some sort of nvidia error in the installation process. I have filed a bug against debian-i

Right ok, i've seen the same high interrupt rate from the kernel happen before when using a 1000hz kernel, which is why i asked. I'll recheck these interrupt rates on another laptop when i can, if this is still the case BFS most certainly wouldn't be a good option for laptop users especially those

I'm not sure if the BFS should be included in the default desktop kernel, but an optional BFS kernel will be extremely important for testing purposes. If the testing on Karmik will show significant performance increase and will be stable enough, it may be enabled by default in 10.04 ** Changed in:
