Guess I need to check my kernel config again then..

Thanks for the explanation there.
I could be wrong, but it doesn't really say which is libata and which isn't, right?

Any drivers under ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL are the old IDE drivers.

Any drivers under Serial ATA (prod)Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers is the new libata drivers.

It doesn't explicitly say that it is the new libata but it is known. You can read more on some kernel websites, like kerneltrap etc. There are bound to be 2 drivers for the same chipset in IDE and libata since its still migrating, such as the jmicron. You can't enable both the drivers or things will go horribly wrong. Just use either one.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up.
I don't work much with Linux, and when I do it's mostly for my home servers.
And those are SUN machines with SCSI.

@energyman76b, which sources?

@lenk, don't think 2.6.19-r1 was in portage when I setup my sysytem, hence i used mm-sources. However, I haven't seen any errors in dmesg so far as you show.
You could try to compile in the Generic PCI IDE chipset support, which gives /dev/hd*. Maybe it helps, maybe not.


starting with 2.6.16. 2.6.17 worked too, and 2.6.18 and at the moment I am using 2.6.19


But what sources? mm-sources, no-sources, gentoo-sources?


vanilla kernel org.

I would have added -mm, -gentoo or something else, if I would not use vanilla kernel org Linus-tree kernels.

here the direct link to the patch
and the ebuild

kudos to cheater1034 :)


um.. i'm not too familar with gentoo.. so what do i do with the .ebuild file? and also.. i need to download the 2.6.18 kernel and patch it with that patch?

How does 2.6.19 kernel go with the Asus P5W DH Deluxe?

Noticed you have the same motherboard as me and nearly exactly the same drive setup.. wondering if you have succeeded yet with getting intel pata working?

here you go, for this you have to create an "portage-overlay":

Code:
mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/sys-kernel/no-sources


(the overlay resides in /usr/local/portage and subdirectories)

add
Code:
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"

to /etc/make.conf
this way you make portage aware of that overlay

download kernel 2.6.18-rc4 & the 2.6.18-rc4-mm2 patch to your /usr/portage/distfiles directory
since 2.6.18-rc4-no2 is based on 2.6.18-rc4-mm2

linux-2.6.18-rc4.tar.bz2
2.6.18-rc4-mm2.bz2

cp the ebuild to the folder /usr/local/portage/sys-kernel/no-sources

change into that directory

Code:
ebuild *.ebuild digest


then simply
Code:
emerge no-sources
(if that's the only version of no-sources on your system)

Ok.. i actually went and tried out the 2.6.19 kernel from kernel.org.. the jmicron controller and such works perfectly and the Intel ICH7R SATA work fine.. just Intel ICH7R PATA doesnt work at all :(

sir, you're using the wrong commands :roll:

first: patching should be done on the fly if you were using gentoo :wink:

second:
1) extract the linux*.tar.bz2 file with
Code:
tar xzpf linux*

2) bunzip2 the patches: bunzip2 -d 2.6.18*.bz2
3) patch the kernel one after another:
change directory into kernel-directory
Code:
cd linux-2.6.18-rc4

then patch:
Code:
patch -p1 < ../2.6.18-rc4-mm2
&&
Code:
patch -p1 < ../2.6.18-rc4-no2

thats the thing.. that doesnt work it just sits there for ages... no disk activity no patching being done.. nothing.. it never ends.
___________

I just tried doing that in gentoo (patch -p1 etc) and it doesnt even work in gentoo... so what the heck does the ebuild do that using normal patch doesnt? something is majorly borked.

are you sure that you typed
Code:
patch -p1 < 2.6.18-rc4-mm2


instead of
Code:
patch -p1 > 2.6.18-rc4-mm2
like you wrote in previous post ? (there's one little, but important difference)

(just in case :wink: )

ok, then try the following:

use linux-2.6.17.tar.bz2
with http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/patch-2.6.18-rc4.bz2
and http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.18-rc4/2.6.18-rc4-mm2/2.6.18-rc4-mm2.bz2

after that apply the 2.6.18-rc4-no2 patch

i used gentoo to make the 2.6.18-rc4-no2 tar'd the source up.. uploaded to my local server.. got into ubuntu.. downloaded the tar. compiled installed.. but i get odd errors about my first hd drive (hda = my dvdrw drive) "hda: drive not ready for command" and it just goes spaz.. i cant stop it..

so far gentoo seems to be the only distro which works with my motherboard :(

well, then I'm going to upload it (the finished patched kernel), hope cheater doesn't has any objections against it :roll:

Update:
oops, sorry for giving that misinformation:

Quote:
2.6.18-rc4-no2 "To be..." | ...My attempt at more stability
this is a testing release
If you have a problem please report it, otherwise I can not help you with it :)

Release
- A very solid release coming up into the mix, Based off of 2.6.18-rc4-mm1 but including
several important and not so important fixes, some being from -mm2. Nothing real experimental
was pushed into this release, just a ton of fixes and the new version of -mm. I'm really
opt about the stability of this release in comparison to 2.6.18-rc4-no1, I went out of my
way to assure it as stable as possible this release. (marked unstable due to -rc release only)


so it's based on 2.6.18-rc4-mm1

mea maxima culpa ! :cry:

please try the above mentioned patch order, but this time:

linux-2.6.17.tar.bz2
patch-2.6.18-rc4.tar.bz2
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.18-rc4/2.6.18-rc4-mm1/2.6.18-rc4-mm1.bz2

then the 2.6.18-rc4-no2 patch

Update2:

here the direct download link:
http://rapidshare.com/files/6577854/linux-2.6.18-rc4-no2.tar.bz2

Just got my new puppy. A core2duo CPU, MSI P965 platinum motherboard and some other stuff and im about to try this installcd. Hopefully ill be back with results in a few. :)

Btw, omg the c2d is quick, compiled the kernel with -j3 just for kicks and i think i had a slight orgasm. ;)

I've noticed the latest gcc you can get via emerge is 4.11, apparently in 4.2 you can use "core2" as an arch flag, where could i get my hands on gcc 4.2?

you can get it on gcc's mirror list:
http://gcc.gnu.org/mirrors.html

every week new snapshots are being released, for this you have to edit / hack the existing gcc 4.2 alpha-ebuild,
gcc 4.2 currently is in stage3, which means many bugfixes are being made & it's still not ready for the public

it still doesn't compile every app & it's not supported by gentoo-devs / gentoo

so if you want to give it a try ...

gcc-4.2 won't include march=core2, tried it with the latest snapshot from 5th december, it seems to finish with big steps, last time I tried to compile scribus it failed, this time it emerged fine ...

Quote:
There won't be a -march for core2 in gcc-4.2 (that much I remember from the email I can't find any longer), but it has been added to the development trunk and should be present in gcc-4.3.


source: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3771176.html#3771176

so you probably want to try gcc-4.3, but because it's still in stage1 (not feature-complete) you'll likely be running into trouble when using it as system-compiler, and as always, it isn't supported by gentoo & gentoo-devs in any way, you need to file bugs & create patches for the broken apps on your own

btw. this is a little offtopic :wink:

I saw some of you guys / girls are having a little trouble getting the right kernels since some of them aren't in portage anymore:

Here is a short "how-to" to get the right kernel

if you, for example are looking for 2.6.19-rc4-mm2:

open up http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/ (testing branch)

if you're looking for non-rc (non-testing) releases go to http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/

search for linux-2.6.19-rc4.tar.bz2 & download it ( direct link )

for Andrew Morton's patches / branch open up http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/

browse in the directory for your corresponding kernel (here 2.6.19-rc4), then selected the needed release (in this example there are two:
2.6.19-rc4-mm1 & 2.6.19-rc4-mm2, but you'll change to 2.6.19-rc4-mm2)

then download 2.6.19-rc4-mm2.bz2 ( direct link )

now move both to /usr/src

then first extract the testing-part:

Code:
tar xjpf linux-2.6.19-rc4.tar.bz2


then the mm-part:

Code:
bunzip2 -d 2.6.19-rc4-mm2.bz2


"rename" linux-2.6.19-rc4 to linux-2.6.19-rc4-mm2
Code:
 mv linux-2.6.19-rc4 linux-2.6.19-rc4-mm2


then change directory into your new kernel-dir:

Code:
cd linux-2.6.19-rc4-mm2


now patch it with the mm-patch:

Code:
patch -p1 < ../2.6.19-rc4-mm2


then you're ready to compile

I don't know if this is related, but the kernel is having trouble detecting the Realtek gigabit ethernet controller on my P5B lately. It worked fine for several months, and suddenly this started happening (with no configuration changes on my part). On these occasions, ifconfig immediately after booting confirms that the interface isn't detected (only lo is shown). I have a PCI ethernet card installed that is detected as eth0, so if I must I can use that, but so far rebooting (sometimes more than once) has temporarily cured the problem. I have no idea what is going on with that.

My kernel version is 2.6.18-mm3, with the R8169 driver compiled into the kernel (CONFIG_R8169=y). I might try compiling it as a module to see what effect unloading and reloading it has.
