iphitus.loudas.com — The maintainers of the -nitro & -archck patchsets for the Linux kernel have agreed to form a new merged patchset -beyond. This will come in two flavors (stable & experimental) and offer features such as Reiser4 & Suspend2 support.

I want to run this kernel; I have it installed, but until there are "official" ATI binary driver packages in Archlinux for this, I'll stick with the 'regular' kernel.

I compiled 2.6.16-beyond2 yesterday in Gentoo and so far I haven't ran into any issues (I'm still using Reiser3). Suspend2 (the hibernate patchset) is also included in it and it works great. For a rundown on the schedulers check out this link: <a class="user" href="http://www.wlug.org.nz/LinuxIoScheduler">http://www.wlug.org.nz/LinuxIoScheduler</a> (I use cfq for workstation purposes).

A filesystem requires lot's of testing before it can be marked as stable. Reiser4 *looks* kinda stable if you use it correctly, but if you do a hard reboot .. then you have lot's of chance that your reiser4 partition is b0rked and reiser4's fsck makes it even worse instead of fixing it! So watch out with Reiser4, don't use it on a partition with crucial data on it!Greetz from the guy who started with nitro-sources about 2 years ago :)seppe
