Just wanted to add my experience here. Things mostly work on my Intel G965 system using pata_jmicron. The initramfs is still racy with pata and I get a good amount of failing to create the lfs-cd node. It seems this always happen when I pass vga=789 (even with rootdelay=10), but I can't imagine how that would affect things besides the race. I haven't looked at the init script in detail yet. This also doesn't include your retry commits from earlier today. I'm gonna try out the remastering and start fooling around.
I also tried toram. Wow, it makes a huge difference. Seemed to work fine in my limited testing. I have 2GB of ram, if you're wondering. Otherwise, everything seems to work well. I haven't tried to see the Xv bugs on xf86-video-intel. It's really not high priority for me. I'll check if you want me to, though. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
