KERNEL 3.12 question
I want to run the updated 3.12 kernel on my Pi but noticed there are Xbian patches

should i just pull a defconfig from my device and compile with your config

or is there a .patch file i can have

or maybe a github where it is hosted...?

RE: Not sure where to stick this.. KERNEL 3.12 question
@zarboz

https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian-patches , folder kernel.

if you don't use LIRC and you change /etc/default/xbian-rand not use frandom, then you don't need the patches.

take rpi branch, modprobe configs will give you .config.

@zarboz

btw: is btrfs somehow stabilized now with 3.12.x? I tested 3.12.1 for few hours weeks ago and got serious fs damage after a day.

dmesg was constantly full of btrfs errors / updates. also got 2 panics.

not sure Im sure it wouldnt be hard to forward port an older working version. I am going to play with it none the less Big Grin

RE: Not sure where to stick this.. KERNEL 3.12 question
Let me know about the BTRFS issue (one check through dmesg will do it). "clean orphans" is not considered to be a bad thing.

I'm asking because I wanted to go to 3.12 with XBian because huge btrfs-metadata optimalizations and arm based changes in vanilla. Just need a green light before I mess with it again.

If zarboz is such a kernel passionate, why not ask him to join the team regarding kernel compilation, just like Koenkk is doing XBMC compilation?

RE: KERNEL 3.12 question
I just got some time to sit down and fork into the repo's
I'll be buying a second pi to play with next pay period and will be able to start playing with kernels at that point as my current pi is my wifes media center.. (you know you cant take those away ;-)
(also thinking about ordering a Udoo for something to play with too Big Grin )
Still probably going to dig through some BTRFS patch history and see what I can do to get it to play nice with my Pi (if there is a problem anymore even)

I have seen the 3.12 kernel performs well on other dev boards so I have faith that I can get it working well on the Pi

Just cloned locally and applied xbian patches doing a test build with Linaro GCC 4.9 now

hopefully the too c hain doesn't gripe too much



Looks like Pi was using a slightly dated version of the BTRFS code
I've checked out the source version for 3.12.XY and patched up Pi Source

This is untested so far

https://github.com/zarboz/linux/commits/rpi-3.12.y

keep track of me here
