Re: BFS for the power kernel

yay! schedtool!
That is, IMO, definitely a necessary addition to kernel-bfs. isochrono (sp) scheduling is great for UI applications.

Anybody have another solution? I can't manage to get "connect to Internet" to show up before the silly login window blocks all access to my phone.

Hm. Did you extract the archive using the command line tar program? Or did you extract it using a GUI program? The extracted archives might not be in the directory you are running dpkg.

This code is actually a branch of kernel-power plus additional patches. Which is why the installed packages all mention "kernel-power" Not very useful for something that isn't a true replacement. Or...

Interesting.
I have read that using the BFS scheduler can exacerbate race conditions. I thought it was in the BFS FAQ but now I can't locate where i read this. *shrug*

Re: BFS for the power kernel

No worries at all!
I'll try out multiboot to see where the packages went wrong.

Sounds like a nice idea: Rapidly switch between kernels. Would make comparison tests easier!

Re: BFS for the power kernel

I have not used multiboot.

The install process should be identical to the kernel-power install process. I did not modify that part of debian control files.

At least in theory. I will check :-)

Yowza. That's not right..
I think both are caused by my web serving giving no MIME type for the deb files. My bad. Give me a few minutes hehe

Will post when I've verified as fixed.

This kernel is a branch of the git repository for Titan's kernel. :) So eventual inclusion should be easy.
