Kernel-vanilla-nrj-desktop & -laptop 3.8.13 for ROSA & OM

Post by NicCo »

immagine ridotta %
yet another experiment... :) 8-) dedicated to all those people that prefer using a "pure kernel" with none patches...

the first idea and attempt was: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=3992
Kernel-vanilla-nrj? > let's try ASAP next kernels with NRJ!



Project name: kernel-vanilla-nrj? > desktop, laptop, server, a lot of different flavours are possible.
Flavours nr.: there will be two > 'kernel-vanilla-nrj-desktop' and then also 'kernel-vanilla-nrj-laptop'

Devel Status: 100% complete, now also for kernel 3.8 series

Availability: Complete! From ROSA Marathon to ROSA Fresh R1 and naturally also for OM cooker...

Expandibility:
we can prepare a lot of different kernels with the same engine, for example one dedicated to laptops

Goals: having the chance to try ASAP new kernels, also with full Preemption enabled "NRJ v4 mode",
in this way we can start trying the NRJ kernels much before, even up to two months earlier than usual,
we can also verify if some patch used in mainline featured kernel may cause regressions or unstability.

Kernel behaviour: like a vanilla plus a better multitasking and a better multimedia desktop experience!

Code: Select all
