Build patched kernel

Hi, long time no see. Today I finally found some time to make a nitro patch set. It's been a while, but the result is sweet.

I know the final 2.6.11 Linux kernel is coming soon, but I just couldn't resist (sorry Darckness

)

What's in it?

Code:

How to install

Install directions courtesy of BlinkEye:

Code:

1. download the ebuild 2. mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/sys-kernel/nitro-sources 3. mv the ebuild to /usr/local/portage/sys-kernel/nitro-sources (or wherever your PORTDIR_OVERLAY points to) 4. open /etc/portage/package.keywords (if it doesn't exist create it) 5. add "sys-kernel/nitro-sources ~x86" without the quotes and with the appropriate architecture (for me its ~x86") 6. ebuild nitro-sources-2.6.10-r4.ebuild digest 7. emerge nitro-sources 8. cd /usr/src/ and behold your nitro-sources 9. remerge any modules (nvidia...)
