Hello blog!Finaly, these morning i had successfully upgrade and recompiled my kernel from 2.6.18.5 to 2.6.20. I need 4-5 times to recompiled until this run stabil and compatible with other applications. There is some different between 2.6.18.5 kernel vs 2.6.20. I found it when test my firewall aplication (kmyfirewall) that use iptables as based. It error and cannot run. There is different name, like modules for NAT.

wow. i never touch and modify panic for one week. it was the record :D for me. this night i will try to upgrade and compile Panic kernel from 2.6.18.5 to 2.6.20. It must because i will use linux-live script version 6, that minimum required 2.6.20 kernel. It use LZMA that can compress 30% better then gzip. I hope i can compile and upgrade the kernel with smoothly without many problems, so i can release the first version of Panic faster, as soon as. I am not patient to release this..

Yesterday my wife friend, Villy is coming to our sweet home. She bring many photos where she save all on mmc cards. I ask him to use my Panic Computer to view her mmc card contents. But when she plug his usb memory card reader, the gadget is not working on my Panic!. ohhh.. in console i then type #lsusb, and the gagdet is detected as:

Bus 1 Device 32: ID 0aec:3260 Neodio Technologies Corp. 7-in-1 Card Reader

On February 4, three days ago i had recompile Panic kernel so now support firewire devices. I recompile them into modules, so will be loaded by Panic at first boot by script /etc/rc.d/rc.modules like here:
# add firewire ieee1394 support
/sbin/modprobe ieee1394
/sbin/modprobe raw1394
/sbin/modprobe ohci1394
/sbin/modprobe dv1394

You can disable firewire support in Panic if your computer doesnt have firewire card by add # on front of above command.

Today i have remove the fuse support that already builtin in kernel 2.6.18.5. I remove this because when i compiling ntfs-3g it need at least fuse version 2.6. So i recompile again my kernel, remove the fuse module, and install the last version of fuse from http://fuse.sourceforge.net - fuse.2.6.2.

Today i have done upgrade the kde from 3.5.5 version to 3.5.6. i think kde 3.5.6 is better and more stable. many bugs have fixed. and i feel it more faster than before. especially when the kde is booting up. its take less time than before.
