[GPL]2.6.29.6 CFS Kernel V9 12/10/10

[Conap]

How do I know what "version" of your kernel I have installed ? I see "v2" and mention of crashes... I don't recall seeing that when I first downloaded it but I could have overlooked it.

About Phone says:

2.6.29-DecaFuctCFS-dirty-0d4de131

that is v2. The file name you downloaded has a 2...I will try to post what build number the future releases are (i.e. [email protected] #3 is V2)

 

[hallstevenson]

Yes, the downloaded file is "DecafuctCFS2.zip". I wasn't sure if that "2" meant "v2". Now I'll know...

Not once did I use the word "crash". Nor have I experienced a kernel panic on CFS2.

FWIW, the md5sum of DecafuctCFS2.zip is db928f946c15db15c00513b457f9511b. You can take it from there. I believe the "2" in the file name is significant, but don't quote me on that.


As long as I am posting, I want to re-iterate my thanks to Decad3nce; devs that do kernel work are one-in-a-million out of the general population of (Eris) phone users, and probably 1-out-of-100 of devs work on stuff for phones they don't own. That makes Decad3nce a 1-in-100million kind of contributor to Eris users. Major props.

I was going from memory. It actually says "kernel panic".

 

[Decad3nce]

That was in the first release and has since been fixed.

Here's what it actually says. I edited nothing, but did add emphasis & highlighting (below)

Eventually, the phone soft-restarted (note this was not a kernel panic - the adb shell session stayed alive, but the CyanogenMod splash screen re-appeared on the phone and everything reloaded.)

Granted, having the phone apps seize up is not a desirable outcome, but strictly speaking, that's not the fault of the kernel. You can bring any kernel to it's knees with the right workload; so, operating one correctly boils down to figuring out what workloads are fine, and which ones are not. In my case, I was operating the CFS2 kernel outside it's optimal range of clock speeds with a specific govenor. An oops or panic would be a kernel issue - but that's not happening here.

I don't beleive he was refering to your post...i think he was referring to the first post under V2 where i wrote that v2 fixed an issue with kernel panic....

 

[hallstevenson]

Yes

i'm running tazz v3.0 with the bfs kernel. can i just flash this right over the bfs kernel?

yes you can flash this over the bfs kernel...the update script will wipe the cache for you....

Also v3 is now posted....

 

[bftb0]

Yes

(stupid 10 character limit)

Sorry, my bad.

 

[Jp50]

starting to get some serious lag. especially on gmail. its like pre root era lag. Not using set cpu.

If flash Tazz 3.0 over this will overwrite the kernel?

Of course I didn't do a nand before installing the kernel

edit: phone froze - pulled battery - rebooted, all seems well now. Wondering if it was just a random glitch. Had maps open previously and a bunch of other apps so may have overloaded the cpu.

Sorry if the question has been asked, but is this froyo specific??? or does it work with eclair also?????...thanks in advanced.

It should work with eclair also...

Hmmm.....sweet ill give it a try on xtrROM....I ask because I have a moto droid and we have tons of options but my GF's eris just had zanfur till now. In addition moto's kernels do not cross OS versions so I was curious. Thanks again.

Well with the eris we never really had a Froyo kernel since we never actually got froyo so the base source is intended for 2.1 to start with. Some changes were made for froyo such as making froyo's apps2sd work and some other minor stuff but nothing that should affect it working on 2.1....I haven't personally tested it but it should work...let us know how it goes...

Great work on the Kernel havent actually tried the "Interactive" govenor yet as i'm tethering for my brother and sister but i have hopes for this kernel.

 

[tazzpatriot]

i added the new kernel today and as soon as i put on wifi it rebooted ,i forgot to pulll the report u want but figured id let u know ,, it was the 9-5-10 version btw

Weird Tazz, I'm using vanilla with the CFS and it's fine. Did you wipe dalvik?
