Ahh dude I'm so dumb sometimes!
doh!

stuck-on-stupid

all I had to do was build squashfs 4.0 from meerkat and replace /root/linux-live/tools/mksquashfs & unsquashfs
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maveric...1:4.0-6ubuntu1

and then it made the livecd!
but, for some reason gksu, with some apps, is now giving issues saying gksu-run-helper problems!?
EDIT: it only did it once then "fixed" itself?!

anyway, I'll upload kernel,source, etc for you in morning cool?

Ah yes I think this one's gonna work dude..
It made the live media as it should and has also compiled successfully on my slackware64, arch x86 and arch x86_64 systems too so I think it's good
it added alot of stuff, drivers, etc the 2.6.34 version didn't have...

anyway, heres the kernel, modules, and source
plus the modified lls from ritchie, I replaced his 4.1
squashfs in /root/lls/tools with the 4.0 squashfs so its ready to go

http://multidistro.com/Kernels/meerk...r5/PKG.tar.bz2

tell me if that works...

Ok.
In the meantime I have made a new Slackware remaster which I call SlackEX 13.1 with Gnome 2.30.2 and LXDE using your "old" kernel 2.6.33.3. Unfortunately the ISO-file can´t be downloaded. I have no serverspace for it at the moment. It´s a pity since SlackEX is in English. (The default locale is English).

Thanks. I will try it asap! Tonight.

Mmmmmm...
there seem to be some differences between meerkat's 4.0 squashfs and Ritchies 4.1 CVS squashfs

the 4.0 squashfs with kernel 2.6.35-r5 makes the live media in about 15min vs 45min+ for 4.1 CVS vs 70-90min 3.4
but, the live media I made with the 2.6.35-r5 kernel and squashfs 4.0 was bigger than the 4.1 cvs builds...
weird huh?

the live cd I made earlier was about 640MB vs the 4.1 cvs' build of 522mb
thats a big difference
I would've thought the 4.1 squashfs would have been faster at making the live media and make it smaller

but, then I remembered squashfs 4.1 cvs is built against or patched with lzma and thats why it takes longer but makes it smaller...

so, if upgrading to kernel from meerkat 2.6.35-r5 then your cd will be at least 100mb larger...
what do you think is best?
2.6.34-ZEN with squashfs 4.1 cvs VS 2.6.35-r5 with squashfs 4.0?

I would prefer kernel 2.6.35-r5 since it is newer. My ISO-file is already 797 MB (with Gnome and all) so I don´t care about the size.

I know now that kernel 2.6.35-r5 works, but I have not yet tried to make a live Slackware system with it. I´m working on it now.

well
Ubuntu's now come out wwith higher kernel again 2.6.35-9.14 source
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maveric...35/2.6.35-9.14

lol
Yeah tell me if it builds a livemedia from your slack install
How many Slackware installs do you have?

I have now tried with kernel 2.6.35-rc5 (to build a "livemedia"). No success. I get kernel panic and these error messages: EXT2-fs (ram0): error ext2-get-inode: unable to read inode block - ram0: rw:0, want=16474, limit=15554 attempt to access beyond end of device.

I have 3 Slackware 13.1 installs.

I have not yet tried kernel 2.6.35-9.14. Should I?

Btw: The size of the iso-file increased from 794 mb to 974 mb.

I really dont know why yours is not working....
you didn't change the lls build or config script right?

oh wait, are you using ext4?

No, I didn´t change anything.
No, I´m using ext3.
I will try again with the new kernel. (I seldom give up).

yeah, I dont give up either
I just cant figure out why yours are not building...

anyway, I built the newer kernel and it still came out as 2.6.35-r5 so I guess not much changed...
I wish I knew more about how to strip the squashfs 4.0 from meerkat's kernel and instead apply the sqlzma 4.1 cvs squashfs
as that would be the best of all worlds...

there seems to be an issue when you try to build your stuff...I wish I knew what it was?

linus72,

I'm happy to tell you that my live dvd with Slackware 13.1 using your kernel 2.6.35-rc5 now works! No errors at all!

Don´t ask me what I did wrong the first time. This time I started all over again from the beginning. I compiled my own kernel using your .config. (I did not change anything however. Only the name of the kernel).

I'm writing this running Exton-Slack 13.1 LiveDVD with said kernel.

Thanks again for all your work.

No doubt!
I'm glad to hear its working!

Today I am upgrading the debian nfluxos to the Liquorix kernel
http://liquorix.net/

and source
http://github.com/damentz/liquorix

So, have you had any issues using 2.6.35-r5 and gksu as a user?

Yes, I therefore installed sudo so it works just like in Ubuntu. I think many people like that. I e sudo su.

oh...where did you get sudo?
from source or .deb?

dont know why gksu is having issues....I can't get gksu to work at all in my slack64 install...
