Thanks to neko for his support.

P.S. Warning! I don't test this kernel.

hi blaze i have build this one 5.13.12 with the new gcc 11.2.0 version in current applied to porteus and run fine i have build also some software via slackbuild without issue too.

[babam]

@beny, maybe you can't activate the xzm modules located in aufs.

[beny]

hi babam activate work but not deactivate i have devel module in optional folder so only when i have to use with mkernel or sbo i use it,with the porteus python script i have the error no module named gi,we have to dig in it.

hi babam activate work

Sorry for my bad english,
Can you copy the xzm module to /tmp and then activate it.

beny,
That seems good, Kernel 5.13.12+Aufs is working fine.

[beny]

hi babam mine isn't 5.13.12 with this kernel i have a lot of trouble also the cpu load is too high i have build the last lts kernel well not in slackware 5.10.60 with the whole aufs patch .

i have build but with issue after some try.....

==== AUFS Kernel only for Porteus ====

Can in the next kernel build to set this

Code: Select all

CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU=y

Thanks.

[raja]

blaze,

Please refer to post,
Porteus Kernel Builder (Post by raja #82673)

The error repeats in v-5.0rc3 also with zstd-1.5. More loop devices mean, kernel wastes more time in this useless message of "capacity change"

Post by Blaze » 16 Jun 2021, 01:35

raja, look at this https://pastebin.com/KpTryrBc
# In Kernel 5.4.57 is not have these options:
> CONFIG_HAVE_KERNEL_ZSTD=y
> CONFIG_KERNEL_ZSTD=y
As I said before need to test it on Porteus RC3 or you can try to manual update ZSTD:

These two CONFIG additions are required only if you use zstd compression for initrd , kernel and kernel modules. neko uses that in APorteus.

There is no real benefit it.

Config file already has zstd=y for squashfs compression.

In fact, I use kernel- v-5.4.126 without zstd compression and , zstd compression for for base and modules in 5.0rc3.

Kernel finishes its job in 7 seconds and xorg with "intel" driver does end its work in another 4 or 5 seconds*. seconds.

So in next kernel release say in version 5.14, you may consider to change from "y" to "n" in those two lines.

* new login consumes more time than previous releases.

[Blaze]

babam, done.

but I think it's not a good idea coz

about:

Code: Select all

CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU=y

The option defaults to n. Prior to this commit adding the option, it was effectively always n, with no user choice possible. If you want to retain the same semantics you have used to date, answer n. If you want faster RNG setup and are willing to take the risk that your CPU is hostile, answer y.
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1 ... art-0.html

raja, I can't set 'n' via make menuconfig for the

Code: Select all

CONFIG_HAVE_KERNEL_ZSTD=y
CONFIG_KERNEL_ZSTD=y

I can change kernel compression mode only (about CONFIG_KERNEL_ZSTD)

hi blaze the last kernel build of 5.14.0 fail with a loop error on firmware build i think i try without now and report.....
without the firmware package build option compile well,i don't know why the error,maybe if needed the slackware current have upgrade the kernel to 5.14 version so the firmware is on slackware current too.
well seem we have a weird modules weight...too light
