 Posted: Fri May 25, 2012 11:20 pm Post subject: kernel 3.3.4 -> 3.4 issues |
 |
|
hi there,
where as 3.3.4 worked flawlessly i am having big difficulties to find the proper setup for 3.4
the main problem seems to be sysfs, udev or something like that. after the first restart into 3.4 i noticed a lot of error messages during system start.
sysfs can not start, as well as udev
/proc and /dev can not be mounted ect
i checked filesystem problems, reiser is working and my sda3 root device is also writeable, swap partition works, and sda1 (ext2) can also be mounted
i can not compile the current ati-drivers, which work with 3.3.4, and the old fglrx modules starts the server but keyboard and mouse are unavailable (although i recompiled xf86-input-mouse,keyboard and evdev). at a guess i did say the x11 and ati-driver problems are related to the errors at system start.
any hints on this one are very appreciated

Mgiese,

That happened to me too. The ati drivers were also blocking xorg-server for a long time so I just decided to migrate to the radeon driver.
I added my two cents here a couple of days ago https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=413569
I also discovered that support is being dropped for some ati cards - mine is included

How long has it been since you did an upgrade  Did you make the CONFIG_TMPFS change required for the updated udev
Did you run etc-update

I'm having the same problems here with kernel-3.4.0. This makes the systen unusable. Back to 3.3.5 and all work flawlessly.
I have nvidia graphics card so I can't comment.
I have a M/B with Z68 intel chipset if that helps.
I believe that 3.4.0 was released without adequate testing. |

you mean CONFIG_DEVTMPFS? (and i would suggest CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT enabled as well)
that was my first thought on this one, too.
EDIT: nevermind, disregard. Reading later posts in this thread, indeed you *did* mean CONFIG_TMPFS
How does that even get disabled? Checking my kernel configs clear back to 2009/2.6.30 this has been enabled
| Code: |
$ head -n4 latitude.config
#
# Automatically generated make config: don't edit
# Linux kernel version: 2.6.30-gentoo-r5
# Mon Aug 17 19:15:26 2009
$ grep TMPFS latitude.config
CONFIG_TMPFS=y
CONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_ACL=y

I have enabled them as I did with the 3.3.5 kernel but no luck. I tried two times: One with CONFIG_DEVTMPFS enabled only, no luck. Two with both CONFIG_DEVTMPFS and CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT enabled, no luck again. |

3.4 works fine here at a stable x86 with these kernel settings : | Code: | tfoerste@n22 ~ $ zgrep -e CONFIG_TMPFS -e CONFIG_AUDIT /proc/config.gz
# CONFIG_AUDIT_ARCH is not set
CONFIG_AUDIT=y
CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL=y
CONFIG_AUDIT_WATCH=y
CONFIG_AUDIT_TREE=y
# CONFIG_AUDIT_LOGINUID_IMMUTABLE is not set
CONFIG_TMPFS=y
CONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_TMPFS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_AUDIT_GENERIC=y

hi there, the systemstart is fixed now after putting this into kernel config :
| Code: | tfoerste@n22 ~ $ zgrep -e CONFIG_TMPFS -e CONFIG_AUDIT /proc/config.gz
# CONFIG_AUDIT_ARCH is not set
CONFIG_AUDIT=y
CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL=y
CONFIG_AUDIT_WATCH=y
CONFIG_AUDIT_TREE=y
# CONFIG_AUDIT_LOGINUID_IMMUTABLE is not set
CONFIG_TMPFS=y
CONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_TMPFS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_AUDIT_GENERIC=y |
| Code: | CONFIG_DEVTMPFS
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT |
mouse and keyboard work as well now but ati-drivers gives me headaches... i tried it with 12.4 and 12.2
thats the 12.2 error | Code: | /var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers-12.2/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/firegl_public.c: In function 'kasInitExecutionLevels':

which seams to be pretty much the same as the 12.4 error

any suggestion on this one?? too sad there are no other drivers available...
BTW : i run amd64 multilib with an integrated ati 4200 hd

Thank you! That solved the problem here. I had CONFIG_TMPFS disabled.

I'm reverting my opinion - spurious segfaults with chroot, bash & co - going back to 3.3.7
/Updateradix tree was broken - fixed in 3.4.2, which works fine now/Update

I've made a little patch that makes fglrx work with Linux 3.4. It isn't widely tested and might not work on systems other than x86_64 with the new x32 ABI disabled.
http://pastebin.com/5aERc48H
The second part is a hack that relies on the per cpu old_rsp variable being unused by userspace alloc when x32 ABI isn't enabled. |

thanks for your effort, but i will stick to 3.3.4 for a while longer. i hope that either amd got this fixed or a new kernel version appears ...

I believe you are correct here - it was my mistake I was referring to the change required for udev which is CONFIG_DEVTMPFS - not CONFIG_TMPFS.
Thanks for correcting my mishap

we're both confused, then, apparently people had CONFIG_TMPFS removed from their kernel config 
(and some other bits, like AUDITSYSCALL)
