 Posted: Mon Apr 30, 2018 10:08 am Post subject: New Laptop, can't find what wireless drivers I need |
 |
|
I followed this: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Wifi and updated a bunch of kernel bits, but I'm not getting any wireless network showing up.
Relevant stuff:
| Code: | # lspci
[...]
04:00.0 Network Controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 (rev 78)
# lspci -n
[...]
04:00.0 0280: 8086:24fd (rev 78)
|
This doesn't show up on debian's list, what should I do to find out how to make this work? |

It should be iwl-8000
Try to run "lspci -k" for 8086:24fd module/driver name. |

| I don't see any iwl-8000 in menuconfig, even searching for it (and substrings) turned up nothing. |

My kernel is 4.9.76-gentoo-r1, and I had already turned on iwlwifi in the kernel.
I've already installed sys-kernel/linux-firmware, but that was before I added the wifi drivers. Do I need to re-emerge it afterwards? |

You can check dmesg if is a firmware problem dmesg | grep firmware

I don't think that's a firmware issue for the wifi stuff, but I should probably fix it as well. |

Some versions of 24fd require kernel 4.15. |
You did not look at the web page I linked to, nor did you provide the subsystem ID so we could do it for you.

You did not tell us whether there are any iwlwifi related errors.

"dmesg | grep iwlwifi" gives no output, as does "dmesg | grep iwl"
I don't *understand* the page you linked to.
Does this provide enough info for you to know what I need to do?

Example. The device is 8086:4238, subsytem is 8086:1111, when I go to the page I linked to I can see my card requires kernel 4.5 or newer.

Probably,as Jaglover say, you need kernel 4.12 or 4.15 depend on subsystem because other subsystem works with kernel <=4.9

Only for version numbering. And now I get to have the <s>fun</s> of finding out why the kernel I need is masked for amd64 processors... |

Because in gentoo is maked stable only LTS kernel.
For 4.14 mainline there is a bug (but not all encounter this bug) and is yet masked

Got all that done, new kernel is sitting in /boot with everything set up, and grub is refusing to use it.
I tried removing the EFI stuff from my boot partition, and now it's refusing to boot at all.
I'm going to go back to the liveCD, chroot back in, re-install grub from scratch, and see how that goes.
---
Edit:
Well, I have kernel 4.16.2 booting (latest when I last synced, I guess), but I'm getting a kernel panic.
How do I get any form of useful information to fix this?

You runned grub-mkconfig?

Yes... First thing I did.
Turns out I have a bunch of UEFI/secure boot nonsense messing things up. But I can make it boot using efibootmgr, skipping grub completely somehow.
Maybe that's why I'm getting the kernel panic? |

| The kernel panic message should tell you why you are getting a kernel panic. It may require some interpretation, but it should be more helpful than the Windows standard of "Something went wrong." If you need help interpreting it, post the last 15-20 lines of kernel panic text. |

Probably most relevant line of the kernel panic:
| Code: | | vfs: unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0) |
Went and found https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Knowledge_Base:Unable_to_mount_root_fs
I'm assuming that the issue is:
| Quote: | The panic informs that the Linux kernel is unable to:
Detect the controller for the hard disk (a likely candidate if the message says unknown-block(0,0));
Ensure that the controller chipset has been configured in the Linux kernel (and in-kernel, not as a module); |
Is there an easy way to get the appropriate bits to build into the kernel, or is it going to be trial and error? |

Your kernel lacks of sata controller driver, or it built as a separate module, when it should be built-in
Boot in any previous kernel (or live system) which works for you (without kernel panic) and run "lspci -k" command. Check a "kernel driver in use" for SATA controller - it's a driver you need. Then reconfigure your new kernel so it would include that driver and recompile it. It should be configured as built-in <*>, not just as module <M>. |

This seems to be the relevant bit of info, but when I went and looked in device-drivers I couldn't find anything that looked like it was relevant that wasn't already built-in.
| Code: | # lspci -k
[...]
00:17.0 SATA controller: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-H SATA Controller [AHCI mode] (rev 31)
Subsystem: CLEVO/KAPOK Computer Sunrise Point-H SATA Controller [AHCI mode]
Kernel driver in use: ahci
Kernel modules: ahci
[...]
|
Menuconfig search for "ahci" didn't give me anything useful (as far as I could tell) either.
I tried turning on a few more options, but that didn't help, I need a more "aimed" way to find what I need to turn on. |
