To get my Xterms to work I had to enable "Unix98 PTY Support" and "/dev/pts" as well as devfs and add this line to my /etc/fstab
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 |

| Posted: Thu Oct 23, 2003 11:20 pm Post subject: kernel panic with 2.6.0-test8-mm1 |
|
|
Hi,
I've successfully installed the 2.6.0-test8-mm1 kernel on a dual Xeon system, without any glitch. Hence I decided to put it on my dell inspiron 4150. Unfortunately after (what seems to be) more or less normal bootup the kernel crashes, spewing page after page of messages like:
| Code: |
[<c010a539>] kernel_thread_helperxxxx
|
And finally stops with this error message:
| Code: |
Code: 00 02 02 00 .... (long stream of hex codes)
<0> Kernel panic: Fatal exception in interrupt in Interrupt handler - not syncing
|
Can anyone help me with what might be wrong? I can write down the long stream of characters that is spewed out, however if there is a better method of capturing this output, I could submit that too.
Thanks in advance for any help! |

I'm using 2.6.0-test8 and I have tried compiling nforce-net-1.0.0256 and nforce-net-1.0.0261-r1
Thanks in advantage |

swimgeek-
I have test9 working on my 4150. Just can't get 3d working in X. Haven't been able to find any good info on how to set it up.
I have DRM in the kernel (unlike with 2.4 - using xfree-drm). Agpgart is loaded as a module. For whatever reason glxinfo shows direct rendering as "off".
If anyone knows anything about getting 3d working with a 2.6 kernel and a radeon mobility you will be my best friend  |

| Are you making sure that you are loading both parts of agpgart? In 2.6, the agpgart module is simply the core. You have to load the module for your agp implementation as well. In the case of this machine, since my agp is using the via chipset, i had to load both agpgart and via_agp. |

| Posted: Thu Oct 30, 2003 12:18 am Post subject: symlink |
|
|
Hi,
I recently installed the latest 2.6.0pre9 kernel and I had a problem with emerge ati-drivers. It would tell me there wasn't a symlink to my /usr/src/linux. I think I found an answer somewhere in the forum where I did this:
| Code: |
cd /usr/src
ln -s linux-2.6.0-test9/ linux
|
I reemerged ati-drivers after that and it appears to be going well. I was wondering if this was the correct way to do it? Is there anything else i'm missing? Thanks  |

I'm thinking of upgrading to the 2.6 tests, but I know that DRM was upgraded in the kernel. I have an original release radeon card, and I am currently using gentoo-sources w/ xfree-drm. How do I maintain compatability between the two? Should I unmerge xfree-drm if I'm gonna use 2.6? Or just compile drm into the 2.6 kernel and leave all my 2.4 settings as-is?
Thanks. |

Ricky:
No need to unmerge xfree-drm if you are going to keep the old kernel around. You will need to put xfree-drm in the kernel (I did as module) and also need agpgart (I did as module) and for me intel-agp (for my Intel I8xx) support.
So in my /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6/ I have it as agpgart, intel-agp, radeon (selected under drm).
Hope this helps - obviously you need to determine what AGP to select under agpgart, VIA, Intel, etc. |

I had this same problem, but it was fixed after including pty support. Why does the config help say, "It is safe to say N" for the pty support?

I did actually. Alsa is working with this this kernel. I myself would not bang on the developers for results produced by test kernels. These people work hard and deserve a little more than you presented in your post me thinks (no offense intended) |

Alright guys, im just having a go at this now, I emerged as the guide says but when i "make menuconfig" I get the following error
| Code: |
bash-2.05b# make menuconfig
make: *** No rule to make target `menuconfig'. Stop. |
This is using the 2.6.0 Beta8 Kernel
Thanks |

Did you make sure you have a symlink to this as /usr/src/linux ? ANy of the development/mm-sources will make a symlink to /usr/src/linux-beta. Delete that and change the /usr/src/linux symlink to the kernel sources you want to compile.

Erm you have confused me a little now, ive recompiled my kernel before but never changed out for a completly different version.
I completly understand what you are saying, im just not too sure how to do it. Any chance you could break down what you just said, with simple instructions. 
edit: the contents of /usr/src are as follows:
linux
linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r5
linux-2.6.0-test8-patchset-0.1
linux-beta
the first and the last files being symlinks... |

Do this:
| Code: |
cd /usr/src
rm -rf linux
ln -sf linux-2.6.0-test8-patchset-0.1 linux
|
Then do ls -la and see that linux is a symlink to the 2.6 kernel. cd to /usr/src/linux and then do make menuconfig. |

Disable "mount at boot"
On a Knoppix-system, it did the trick for me.
and if you not already have this: | Code: |
rc-update add devfsd boot |
|
Similar troubles here tonight with 2.6.0-test5-mm4 and an xfs root system. But what about rc-update?
| Code: | # rc-update add devfsd boot
* /sbin/rc-update: /etc/init.d/devfsd not found; aborting. |
Huh? What's that about? |
the same problem with kernel-2.6.0-test9 and ext3 |
