Tkc Vs Cacko

[loc4me]

Can anyone tell me what the major differnce between the TKC rom kernel and the cacko kernel is. I have been using both and really dont know which is better. Once i installed the TKC alpha/beta 3 or whatever the offica name is i have then flashed the cacko kernel. I have ran both for a while and the only problem i have ran into with the cacko kernel is the battery light flashes when charging some times. This is well documented though.

so my real question is can some one list the reasons to use one kernel over the other? to my understanding they both have the async flag turned off for faster writes to the SD card. Does the cacko kernel have more modules compiled into it, like blue tooth or anything? Does one have better support for wireless and other CF cards than the other. I am just looking for the pros and cons to each.

Thanks for the help.

To my understanding, the difference as far as sd sync is concerned, is that tKc uses a script, while the Cacko update is something compiled in the kernel. I have used both and the Cacko seems faster on my Z.  There are also other patches, which are listed below.

- APM patch from OpenZaurus kernel (adopted for 2.4.18 kernel version by Albert Rybalkin).
This patch implements accurate batery power reading, which allows to display actual percentage
of remaining battery power instead of Good, Low, etc levels.

- Compiled with CONFIG_FS_SYNC flag turned off. The CONFIG_FS_SYNC flag is a modification added by Sharp
to force media (i.e., CF & SD cards) to be mounted sync, even if you specify "mount -o async ...".
With this flag turned off, you can get true async io on your SD and CF cards, greatly speeding up file writes

- Wireless Extentions enabled, orinoco/sectrum drivers updated to version 0.13e with monitoring patch applied.
This should enable Wellenreiter to run properly.

- Kernel is compiled with smaller console fonts, so that more information fits into the display.

- Applied patch, which fixes problem with serial CF cards staying suspended upon resume

- Included patch for IRDA problem with some Ericson mobile phones.

I am using a SL5500 with TKC ROM Alpha 3 with the home on SD script
