    Sorry for the fuss! The problem was just a kernel configuration not suitable for the new BFS :)

    After several compilations, I found that the freeze at boot I encountered with pf-kernels >= 3.0 was because of BFS scheduler. Now, with BFS disabled in General setup, pf-kernel works well for me.

    I also tried Zen kernel with BFS enabled and the same freeze happened, although Liquorix works well (disabled by default?).

    Try to mail Nigel Cunningham, TOI author.

    Hello,

    With pf-kernel 3.2.2, my system didn't boot at all (Debian wheezy/sid with nVidia on P5QC, duo CPU, RAM 4Gb). I remember that there was such an issue with some of the previous versions too. This time, I extracted and applied its TOI part and the kernel worked seamlessly. So, there should be something wrong with one of the other patches (except for the main patch, of course). Sorry that I couldn't provide more information.

    BTW, after extracting the TOI part, I appreciated your work more than before.

    An excellent patchset. As always, there's a million and one projects out there for Linux (and some are about as out there as you can get), so having a sane subset for a recent kernel is extremely useful.
