Enabling suspend2 in kernel config or disabling the "suspend2" USE flag and re-emerging (so that the suspend2 patch is not applied when emerging the kernel) should solve the problem. Sorry about that, but I guess we'll have to wait for another suspend2 version from upstream. |
Actually, my fault. I have become accustomed to kernel ebuilds without flags (other than symlink and doc) that it didn't even occur to me to disable the suspend2 flag. And doing so, worked (obviously)...
This must be a newly introduced bug with suspend2 because with morph5, I was able to compile the kernel without suspend2 enabled and *with* the suspend2 patch applied (via USE="suspend2")... Regardless, at least your ebuild gives the choice of applying the patch or not. So that's a good thing...
... Off topic
I thought I pass this by you. You may or may not be able to help but it's worth taking a shot and asking...
My laptop has a 4 in 1 flash card reader. | lspci wrote: | | 0000:06:09.3 Unknown mass storage controller: Texas Instruments Texas Instruments PCIxx21 Integrated FlashMedia Controller |
I've configured the kernel as I would for a usb hard drive (all the scsi stuff) and assume it's going to show up as a scsi drive (/dev/sgX or something of the like) but I am unable to access it.
Do you know if there is support for this? I've tried all the relative options in the kernel but the device never seems to exist. I'm probably out of luck since this is a relatively new motherboard. Probably under 4.. 5 months I think... I've googled it but nothing useful comes up...
If this was too much too ask, don't bother answering.. hehe. I think I already know what the answer is gonna be...
Thanks for Morph sources. It's doing my laptop justice. |

@landon: thanks for reporting this. I've found a patch here:
http://seclists.org/lists/linux-kernel/2005/Jul/0614.html
According to that thread the patch solves the bug. I've committed it to the upcoming morph-sources, but would you please test it to see if it does solve the issue? |
Sorry for the rather late reply. Yes, it patches cleanly, and does the trick.
I decided to stick with your morph6 work, though |

@ateo: yep, the new suspend2 patch probably introduced the bug. I have little experience with card readers. I set up one on an AMD64 laptop: it was seen as a SCSI disk IIRC and it was accessible through /dev/sdX. But things are not always so simple, and there are card readers that do not use this standard interface. Maybe if you re-emerge pciutils you could get more info about it (when you emerge pciutils it tries to download the latest PCI devices definitions from the net).
@landon: thanks for the report, hope you enjoy morph-sources

Ok. Thanks for the tip. I'll keep trying to get it mounted...
Also, one more question. When using suspend2, it is my understanding that I must have 2 commands to pass onto the kernel (from bootloader). One with the resume2=swap:/dev/hdaX (for a fresh boot) and noresume2 to return to the state before hibernation. Am I understanding this correctly?
In other words, I need to option for 2 kernels (on with resume2 and the other with noresume2)...
Thanks for Morph.. |

Nope, you just need resume2=swap:/dev/hdaX (if you're using the swapwriter of course). If there's no image saved in the swap space (i.e. you haven't hibernated), the kernel will just boot normally. |

Mysteriously, I have suddenly started to recieve these errors. I don't know where they come from, but suspend2 has been working with this very kernel before. Weird 
| Code: | hibernate: Less than 3 seconds since last resumed. Not suspending.
hibernate: Aborting suspend due to errors in CheckLastResume (use --force to override).
|
Any ideas?
EDIT: PS: The problem is of course solved with the --force flag, but I don't see why I would need it suddenly... |

Hmmm... I might have solved the problem. Here's an attempt to make a long story short:
I started having problems with acpid not registering events, claiming /proc/acpi/events to be busy. All other things acpi worked though, leaving me confused. I finally found a solution to this problem (the acpid daemon must apparently be started before dbus/hal are started, probably since hal nowadays reads acpi events as well). Anyway, after fixing those issues I haven't been getting the swsusp2 error, and the --force flag is no longer needed. But I've only tried it a couple of times, so I'm not sure if this actually is a permanent solution. Anyway, just thought I'd let this out in case anyone bumps into similar issues... |

If you use morph-sources with suspend2, you probably like this ebuild https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99410 for the new suspend2 userspaceUI (for suspend2-v2.1.9.8 or later)

Sorry, not yet in the 2.6.12 series (it is there in the 2.6.11 series though), but it will be back soon.
---------------------
I've released 2.6.12-morph7. It adds (optionally of course) the realtime-preempt patch from Ingo Molnar. It is supposed to reduce latency on desktop system. Read on the website for more details. Apart from this there are the usual updates. Cheers

http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches/patches-2.6.12-10.htm these upstream patches are all the way great. please think about them.
do you plan to release a 2.6.13 pre-release?
and thanks for including the ext3-stuff right into the mainpatchset.

Could you post a bit more of the error output? Did you use "make oldconfig" by chance?

Hi to all!!!
Some stupid questions:
- I have and amd64 system... Can i use the 1glowmem patch (I think it's only for x86)?
- How can i use the full memory of my system (highmem?)?
- If I use highmem... does it make my system slower??
Thanks a lot, for the answers, and, specially, for morph-sources . |

1. you have 64-bit kernel so..
2 and 3. memory limitations concerns only 32-bit. systems. 64-bit systems will utilise memory better than 32-bit
64-bit does not have any (reasonable) memory limit. And 64-bit kernel does not have HIHGMEM option at all.
Your question suggest that you have built 32-bit system (taht is why you see HIGHMEM option), so use HIGHMEM option and yes on 32-bit system, you can use 32-bit patches. CPU (AMD64) does not matter here. |

No, I'm using an x86_64 kernel, because i don't have that options. I was only asking, because my system is only using 512MB RAM, and I don't know why. So, if it's not related to a patch... How can I make my system to use the whole memory? The modules are detected, of course
Thanks again!! |

Yeah, i get the modules recognized... and yeah, it was another thing .
Now i'm trying to compile new morph-sources (x86_64), and i got some errors in the beginning:

Ugh, sorry for the late reply. I've been pretty much busy lately, damn social^H^H^H^H^H^H real life
I'll try to investigate this error as soon as possible. As a workaround, have you tried to disable MCE-related options (under the "Processor type and features" menu, IIRC)? Does this happen on vanilla too? Are you using suspend2?

Hi Yardbird!!
Don't worry about that!
I'm using an amd64 without suspend or supermount, but i can't deactivate this option:
In fact, every time i make menuconfig, that option does not appear, and if I erase it, i appears again... really weird...
Thanks a lot!! |

I've compiled morph-sources without a problem without rtp patch... so it should be something related to it... anyone experienced similar problems??

Then it is either automatically selected by some other option or it is mandatory on AMD64.

Seems like you've found the culprit The next release will have an updated rtp patch, so there's a chance the problem will be solved. In the meantime I'm afraid you will have to drop the rtp patch...
