 Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2008 8:40 pm Post subject: Keyboard/alsa/network errors... [SOLVED](ish) |
 |
|
So... here's my problem:
About 24 hours ago, my amd64 install was working fine. Booted without a hitch, nothing out of the ordinary.
Now, when I boot from the same kernel, I get several errors.
The first: "cannot access hardware clock via any known method... failed to set the clock you will need to set yourself"
Second: "Could not detect custom alsa settings. Loading all detected alsa drivers. Unable to find any ALSA drivers. Have you compiled alsa-drivers correctly"
Third: "network interface eth0 does not exist, please verify h/w or kernel module"
fourth: my usb keyboard does not work at the login screen (which just worked at the grub choice screen). Nothing. Not typing in my user name, not ctrl-alt-f2'ing, not sysrq. The only way to turn off the machine is to power off.
The only things that I have changed (that I remember) are:
1) I compiled another kernel to try and remove some drivers for things I did not have. I didnt overwrite the old kernel, only added it to /boot and added the configs in grub.conf... This kernel threw the same errors as the other when I attempted to boot off of it, and I have since removed it and its line in grub.conf
2) I Emerged vmware-server, ran vmware-config.pl, and added myself to the vmware group.
I'm really at a loss to what happened... and dont have a clue as to how to fix it.
Some other things:
If I open the bios on boot, the internal clock time is correct.
I have a genkernel (that also used to work flawlessly) that now throws the same alsa errors and network errors, but the keyboard works so I can now log in. When I do this, the time is wrong.
the gentoo livecd works fine... no errors at all. The time is right. The network works.
(probably unrelated) If I attempt to make menuconfig without being root, it throws an error about ncurses-devel not being installed... it works as root.
(possibly unrelated) My /boot partition stays mounted after I log in. This has been happening for a while. As long as I can remember, actually.
If anyone has _any_ ideas, please let me know. If you want more information, I can do that too.[/topic]

Ok, recompile you old kernel and plz run this :
| Code: |
# cp /usr/src/linux/.config /root/config-back
# make clean
# cp /root/config-back /usr/src/linux/.config
# make && make modules_install
|
This will clean up your kernel and create a new one.

Heh, thanks... I did that and it fixed a lot of things (all of the errors while booting)
I don't know if it matters, but I get an 'nvidia.ko requires unknown symbols i2c_del_adapter i2c_add_adapter' or something... (I didnt have any network access when I compiled... is there a place where logs from compiling a kernel are stored?)
The keyboard still does not work, though. 
Since my network works now, I can ssh in and get access to dmesg, unlike before... and there are some errors that I can see now since they don't scroll past uber-fast on the screen:

And so on and so on.
I tried to look this up, and the only thing I found was someone saying that if they put more than 2G of memory in their computer this happened. I have 4G, so that may be an issue... but it used to work, so maybe I have something configured wrong somewhere.
Thanks for the help! I'm really not sure how this happened... |

Hi, did you active the EHCI support and UHCI support inside your kernel ?

| Code: | CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_EHCI=y
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=y
# CONFIG_USB_EHCI_ROOT_HUB_TT is not set
# CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TT_NEWSCHED is not set
CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=y
|
That should be the relevant part from my .config.
The same problem exists if I enable both CONFIG_USB_EHCI_ROOT_HUB_TT and _CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TT_NEWSCHED
Here is the output from lspci if it helps:

Thanks!
EDIT: If I append mem=2048m to my boot line, everything works, so it appears to be something w/ the memory. |

Heh... My bad....
I hadnt enabled IOMMU in the new kernel. 
I still dont know what happened in the first place that killed my first, working kernel, but oh well, it works now  .
Thanks for the help! |
