If I were to guess, I'd say it was having IOMMU turned on with a machine that doesn't have that option. It could have also been turning off DMA redirection, turning off yenta, turning off wimax, turning on the random number generator, or turning off all filesystems but ext4.
The best way for you to find out is to experiment. Keep the known good .config somewhere safe, and re-enable the options until you find the one that makes the machine have issues again. If you do go that route, then let me know the exact cause.

I no longer hope being capable of this myself. ![Embarassed :oops:](images/smiles/icon_redface.gif) |
I have a better idea. If there is someone who is a regular here who would like to tackle that issue, please step up and do so. At the moment, my plate is fairly full. I would like to know the answer to this in a practical sense.

I'm trying to compile the 2.6.33-gentoo-r1 kernel with KMS and am getting a kernel panic. When I boot the previous 2.6.33-gentoo-r1 kernel that I compiled without KMS it is OK. I changed a few other settings, but not anything that I thought was important. I would really appreciate any ideas at to why this does not work.

Thanks for responding. I now have it working, but not quite how I want it.
I think that the problem was
Code: | #CONFIG_SATA_AHCI is not set |
instead of
here is the new .config

The problem is now I am getting a version mismatch error in my Xorg.log
Code: | (EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed because of a version mismatch.
[dri] radeon kernel module version is 2.0.0 but version 1.17.0 or newer is needed.

You weren't too far off. I just did a bit of tweaking here and there so you'd be starting from a stable base.
As far as KMS, I highly recommend you don't use it. It began life as a parasite on Intel GPU's. Its instability has been documented in many places. Beyond that, it remains buggy with the Intel GPU. I can't see as they're doing much better with ATI.
Because some "wise" individual decided crappy is the new good, I am now forced to remain with xorg-server-1.7.6. This is because the drivers that work with xorg-server-1.8.0 require KMS. Since KMS remains unstable, xorg-server-1.8.0 is also unstable with the Intel GPU. I can only imagine the kind of instability ATI GPU's are subject to.
If you do plan on using KMS, turn off the VESA VGA framebuffer. KMS is a "framebuffer" as well the drm infrastructure. Having KMS, and VESA VGA, AND RADEON framebuffer is a good way to generate a minute wait.
Click here for your new .config. Compile as is.
For the best results, please do the following:
1) Move your .config file out of your kernel source directory (/usr/src/linux- ).
2) Issue the command make mrproper. This is a destructive step. It returns the source to pristine condition. Unmoved .config files will be deleted!
3) Copy my .config into your source directory.
4) Issue the command make && make modules_install.
5) Install the kernel as you normally would, and reboot.
6) Once it boots, please post /var/log/dmesg so I can see how things loaded.
Cheers,

Thank you very much pappy. I have to run now, but will post the results in the morn. Just a couple questions.
Code: | # CONFIG_SENSORS_ATK0110 is not set | Why did you take my sensor out. I unfortunately have a Phenom 9500 that will not work with the k10temp module. Also, the powernow used to work well, but ....
Code: | CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ=y
# CONFIG_X86_POWERNOW_K8 is not set |
I do really appreciate your help, but I am curious as to the reasons for your changes. |

It booted up like a charm.
Here is the dmesg log
http://pastebin.com/Dk8pahy0
I did get a message that frequency scaling was unsupported. I am going to try and adjust a couple of the CPU frequency scaling & processor driver options. Thank you very much for your help. |

I started with a kernel seed to make sure of the stability of what I was sending. I probably should have just redone your .config, but I really feel most secure when I'm sending a .config borne of a seed. This is especially true since I am trying out some of my new seed settings before I commit them to the seeds.

It's a beautiful day to release new kernel seeds. Sure. I knew you'd agree. I've just uploaded the .configs for 2.6.32-tuxonice-r7, 2.6.33-tuxonice-r2, and 2.6.33-gentoo-r2 in both x86 and x86_64 flavors. Enjoy!
Another bit of good news. The Above and Beyond page is just about ready to go. Once I get the updated graphic, I'll be putting that page up. I'm also working on settings page ten. Lots of fun coming up in the world of kernel-seeds.org.
Cheers,

I think that is not really true. I am using xorg-server-1.8.0 with xf86-video-intel-2.9.1 and without KMS, kernel 2.6.31-r10. This is stable for me. If you experience differently, please give a comment in this thread. |

Cool. It's good to know I haven't lost my touch.
At long last, I've got the Above And Beyond page looking the way I've envisioned it. Please stop by and check it out. It's my homage to those who have helped make this site what it is. The page looks best with Firefox, then Chrome, and Opera. IE and Seamonkey don't reproduce it properly.
The idea has been floated that I put a link to a site of each person on the lists' choosing. If those named on the page want that, just let me know your link URL. I will see if I can make it happen without messing up the look of the page. If that can't happen, then just bask in my public praise for all of your deeds, great and small.
My humble thanks to all named.
Cheers,

Hi I have tried a few of your seeds, both 32 and 64 bits, added all the hardware and functionality I needed, and I come across a strange behavior during boot:
while loading the kernel the system freezes until I press any key on the keyboard
then during the sysinit same freezes happen multiple times and I have to click to finally get to command prompt
everything works after that, but its really anoying
I`m pretty sure there is something wrong with kernel configuration, because when I boot a kernel which I configured myself (long time ago and having a lot more things than needed) this issue does not exist
Have you ever come across this strange behavior? _________________ i7 3930K @ 4GHz

I've come across all sorts of behaviors. To find out the root cause, post your current .config, the results of lspci -n and cat /proc/cpuinfo as well as your /etc/fstab, and I'll see what's wrong.

After I turned that off the system boots normally _________________ i7 3930K @ 4GHz

32GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Samsung

I'd say you have other issues if that setting can so drastically change the operation of your machine. I can change it with ease on all systems, and it never causes an issue. Of course, if it works, why fix it?

The good news is I just uploaded the .configs for the freshest kernel version. Yes, 2.6.34 has been released. The .configs for this version have been uploaded in both x86 and x86_64 flavors. Enjoy!
The bad news is Ronnie James Dio has died. Thank the goddess he left so much awesome music to the world. May he rest in peace.
Cheers,

It seems to be running well on Pappy-lap. I've been running it since it went to full release without a single issue.

unrelated: pappy - you happen to have any info handy on zen-sources + hardened patches?
I sent kernelOfTruth a ping as I found one of his ancient threads. Got myself 5 statics, trying to build out some hardened KVM guests!
With the clusterfuck of hardened-sources being dated (enough to where it wont mount btrfs volumes!?), me having to hack up an ebuild from anarchy overlay...I'm thinking this may well be the route to go for my servers henceforth.
I'll keep googling, thought I'd ask! |

I will have to do some looking. I clearly remember seeing the patches, and I think I downloaded them...but it was a while back, and I haven't seen a lot of movement in zen...and hardened has stopped dead at 2.6.29. I'll look around tomorrow once I get some running done, and see what I can find.
Cheers,
