I'm getting an insane amount of zram errors in dmesg [305870.803049] zram: Error allocating memory for compressed page: 121722, size=4118 [305870.803089] Write-error on swap-device (254:0:973776) Seems related to this http://code.google.com/p/compcache/issues/detail?id=102 Still getting 404 on the dropbox repo. How long do you imagine 'OK now' means working again?

@dkasak: I upgraded my main dropbox box (which is headless)to systemd and lost all connectivity to it, as setting a static IP with systemd requires user intervention. Should be OK now.

@Thaodan: thanks for your work, but I intend to follow the upstream kernel optimization options. Allow me to elaborate: 1. I believe Linus and the rest of the kernel developers know their job better than me. 2. Extreme kernel optimizations offer very little performance-wise; it's far more beneficial to optimize in user-space. Please, read this post of mine about it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1202195&postcount=86 3. By large, newest CPUs offer only a few additional instruction sets, mostly multimedia-related, like Advanced Vector Extensions; the AES-NI instruction set is really not worth to mention, unless one AES encrypts-decrypts all day long. Therefore, a new CPU choice usually enters the kernel only after a major architecture evolution.

I've been getting this error for a few days when trying to install from the unofficial repo: error: failed retrieving file 'linux-pf-core2-3.6.5-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' from dl.dropbox.com : The requested URL returned error: 404 NOT FOUND.

Forgot to mod everything in the PKGBUILD to be conform with the changes: http://pastebin.com/RHM2hXME

Thaodan commented on 2012-10-28 02:19 (UTC)

If forgot to say that it only affects Kconfig/menuconfig.

That exactly was the purpose of removing the patchlevel number from the kernel version: to let binary blobs work without the need to recompile throughout all a given minor version series (e.g. 3.6.[1-N]-pf). The nvidia-pf module for one works as intended since 3.6.1-pf, at least on my computers. I wasn't aware of the virtualbox situation... I'll test it with the next -pf release and if your report is confirmed, I'll either consider changing the versioning scheme or creating an AUR package for virtualbox-pf-modules. At any rate, if you can and want create it yourself I'll happily compile it and include it in the [pfkernel] repo, just like nvidia-pf.

travnick commented on 2012-10-25 09:42 (UTC)

Shouldn't this package create folders in /usr/lib/modiles like: 3.6.3-1-pf instead of 3.6-pf? When kernel updates, old modules (eg virtualbox) still are there and make conflicts, they are not loadable "ERROR: could not insert 'vboxdrv': Exec format error ERROR: could not insert 'vboxnetflt': Exec format error ERROR: could not insert 'vboxnetadp': Exec format error" But you cannot simply create new ones with dkms (virtualbox-hook), because the old one exist in kernel modules folder ... "Module vboxhost/4.2.2 already installed on kernel 3.6-pf/x86_64"

It's a known and discussed issue (search previous comments); just enable DVB without any drivers.
