[OT] Sid + 2.6.23.1 + ck
Hi,
2.6.23.1 is stable now.
There is a remade ck patch for the 2.6.23 kernel (because Con Kolivas
left after 2.6.22-ck1):
http://kamikaze.waninkoko.info/patches/2.6.23/kamikaze2/broken-out/ckpatches-2.6.23.patch
that was published on the ck-list.
I applied it to 2.6.23.1 and it fits with offsets.
Booting that system with Sid and the kernel .config of 2.6.22-2-k7 there
appear to be no great problems. However:
1. the nvidia 9631 driver that I use now fails to compile and this patch
needs to be applied:
http://home.hiwaay.net/~craigg/linux/NV_patch.html
that is discussed in the forum:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=1416979#post1416979
After that patch running the installer creates the module OK.
2. I get funny errors:

but the only effect I can see is that my two usb mice changed events:
from 3 to 5 and from 4 to 6. After I made those changes to xorg.conf, X
came up with my two videocard/monitors/kbds/mice.
3. Vmware server would not recompile either and I had to apply a patch via:
http://communities.vmware.com/thread/107414
and
http://www.howtoforge.com/the_perfect_desktop_slackware12_p11?s=80fb4b36921117b17a0c39e957458e68&;
and the patch referred to is vmware-any-any-update113.tar.gz at:
http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/
Once applied per described procedure (within the failing install) vmware
compiles OK. And starts OK.
Stay tuned.
