Hurray! At last!
I'm going to recompile the kernel and update some other packages too on my home-server. So if you are missing some pictures in my posts, then it is down.
Should not take too long though (I hope).
And why am I eagerly waiting for this specific kernel? Because the CONFIG_NO_HZ kernel configuration option should now be available to 64bit. This option is required to get any kind of longer sleep times in the CPU, making it conserve more energy.
Code:
Shelob ~ # emerge -pv gentoo-sources
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild NS ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.24-r3 USE="-build -symlink" 45,724 kB
Total: 1 package (1 in new slot), Size of downloads: 45,724 kBI'm going to recompile the kernel and update some other packages too on my home-server. So if you are missing some pictures in my posts, then it is down.
