 Posted: Sat Apr 30, 2005 12:48 pm Post subject: ACPI works in Knoppix but not in Gentoo [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hi!
Argh! I hate ACPI! I booted my Acer C100 Tablet with Knoppix 3.8 (2.6.11 kernel) and ACPI worked just fine.
I installed Gentoo on it and all I see is "ACPI: interpreter disabled" when I boot a 2.6.11 or 2.6.12-rc3 kernel.
I enabled ACPI in the kernel config, used the kernel commandline parameters "acpi=on" and "acpi=force", but nothing helped.
Is there someone with this Laptop/Tablet and a running ACPI-enabled kernel? Please speak up...
Thank you in advance,
kind regards,
Heiko

No, when I try to start it, it says "ACPI support has not been compiled into the kernel", but I configured it:

Is there something else I have to turn on?

I'd be happy if I could find out how the Knoppix Kernel is configured, but I did not find a config.gz in /proc ...
I'd appreciate any help,

You should probably look in this thread https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-122145.html, as the output of the knoppix dmesg looks _a lot_ like the one in the thread.
Sorry I can't help you further,

Thank you, I already found that thread. What stopped me from trying is the fact that they want me to use /proc/acpi to read out my acpi tables somehow and my problem is that I do not have this (/proc/acpi),...
Anyway, thanks for your time.
Any further suggestions anyone?
Kind regards,

Hi!
maybe the latest acpi patch helps?
acpi

|

Hi!
Sorry for the delay, but I checked out the ACPI patches with a 2.6.11 kernel without success.
I am not quite sure if I compiled my kernel correctly, but I do not see what I may have missed in the kernel configuration. As you can see in one of my previous posts, I already chose ACPI=y and enabled everything else I found regarding ACPI, but it seems not to work.
Any more hints?
Kind regards,
Heiko |

Thanks, I already had PNPACPI enabled. I tried to add ISAPNP just out of desperation, but it did not help either.
I want Gentoo, I feel this is my distro and I have it on my server, my desktop and now I'd like to use it with my Laptop, too. But I need to now the battery state, that's all. Even enabling APM did not work, I get /proc/apm but it always says "-1%" and other generic data.
Maybe anyone with any laptop (maybe another Acer) and a working (=ACPI ok) kernel config for 2.6.12-rc3 can send me her/his .config file?
I would like to give it a try, I guess I have enabled/disabled something that is related to Power Management, but without being obvious enough (read: not obvious enough for me).
C'mon guys, you do not really want me to throw Knoppix (=Debian) on this gadget, do you?

 NEVER!
Ok - could you please post a link (rather than pasting it in here) to the two (complete) dmesgs: knoppix and gentoo
under knoppix: you're sure, that ACPI is enabled (sorry for the question, but the parameter apm=power-off somehow makes me curious)
afaik knoppix has the kernel config made available under --> save it and compile a new kernel in gentoo
cheers, R.

Enabling *everything* ACPI related in the kernel can be contraproductive. I think the ones marked red above are not needed on your system.
Which kernel sources are you using on Gentoo? I think you should be able to fix your problem by comparing the Knoppix kernel configuration with the one used in Gentoo as both kernel version are the same. If everything else fails, you can also use the Knoppix kernel in Gentoo.

1) why should ASUS not be a good idea? Anyways: this only provides some additional features such as FN-keys etc. It therefore should ( ) not be harmful IMO. The other features (i.e. IBM and Toshiba) are not necessary, indeed.
2) the kernel versions ar not the same:
| Code: |
knoppix:
=======
Linux version 2.6.11 (root@Knoppix) (gcc-Version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8)) #6 SMP Wed Feb 23 09:15:46 CET 2005
gentoo:
=======
Linux version 2.6.12-rc3 (root@acer-hg) (gcc version 3.3.5 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.5-r1, ssp-3.3.2-3, pie-8.7.7.1)) #3 SMP Sat Apr 30 15:15:53 CEST 2005
|
3) I don't think that using the knoppix kernel in gentoo would be a good idea, because knoppix strongly relies on modules. simply starting the knoppix-kernel may even not boot correctly - and there would be many "module-not-found-errors"
cheers, R.

I didn't say simply copying the kernel bzImage would be the way to go.

Hi!
Thank you all that you are still with me. I used the Knoppix kernel config with a 2.6.11.7 vanilla kernel (emerge =vanilla-sources-2.6.11.7) and only added built-in support for my NIC (rtl8139) and root file system type (ReiserFS).
No ACPI, still. So it seems this is not related to the kernel configuration, but could rather be something in the initrd or in the sources of the Knoppix kernel...
I'll contact Klaus Knopper, but maybe you have a new idea?
Thanks a lot so far,
kind regards,
Heiko |

Well maybe it helps if you at first compile your acpi stuff as a module. Then you load them, one after the other and check dmesg output.
Thats the way I allways go if some hardware doesn't work.

AFAIK I cannot choose to select ACPI support itself as a module, it only can be enabled and/or disabled. The various acpi modules like battery, processor and so on can be used as modules and I tried that, but they just say "FATAL: Error inserting battery (/lib/modules/2.6.12-rc3/kernel/drivers/acpi/battery.ko): No such device"
I think the problem lies in the ACPI tables of my Acer, as dmesg writes:
| Code: |
ACPI: RSDP (v000 Acer ) @ 0x000ec2d0
>>> ERROR: Invalid checksum
...
...
ACPI: Subsystem revision 20050309
ACPI: Interpreter disabled.
...
pnp: PnP ACPI: disabled

A Knoppix dmesg output reads like this:
| Code: |

Klaus Knopper (the creator of Knoppix, for all who did not know) told me that he is using a vanilla kernel without any patches or modifications. Interestingly I compiled my vanilla kernel using his settings (only adding ReiserFS support and my NIC driver) with the same kernel configuration settings he uses with Knoppix and even this Kernel did not provide ACPI support.
I'm really puzzled. I will go on and try to download exactly the same kernel version from kernel.org that was used with Knoppix and try it again.
Any ideas what on earth can alter the way the kernel is dealing with the ACPI data? I heard about including something in the initrd (Knoppix is using one), but I could not find out which file I would have to look at..
Kind regards,
Heiko |

Well maybe it helps if you at first compile your acpi stuff as a module. Then you load them, one after the other and check dmesg output.
Thats the way I allways go if some hardware doesn't work.
Have Fun

Are you sure you're copying the kernel to your boot partition/directory? It's very strange that the same kernel config and sources don't work with gentoo and do with knoppix. The only possible explanation for this is not copying the kernel, or forgetting to mount your boot partition. What are the commands you type when you recompile a kernel?

Yes, I'm sure... And I agree that this really is something strange ...
We need to find out what is the difference between Knoppix and Gentoo and at the moment I have no idea, because the ACPI messages start to differ at a very early point in kernel initialization, which leaves me clueless right now .. But I'll keep on trying...
Kind regards,

| Why don't you try to boot knoppix's kernel in gentoo as a first step? |
