Kernel 2.6.13 is out

dsd · Posted: Tue Aug 30, 2005 11:53 pm Post subject:

the vt82xx patch is for the via IDE driver which is just a simple hardware ID addition - it almost certainly wont affect your sound situation

if you really want to revert it, you can merge with
UNIPATCH_EXCLUDE=4300_via-vt6410.patch emerge gentoo-sources

or revert the patch from an existing install manually:
# cd /usr/src/linux
# patch -p1 -R -i /path/to/4300_via-vt6410.patch

2.6.13 gentoo-sources kernel running fine for me (~amd64), no audio or video problems (using latest nvidia-kernel: 7676) also looks like the kernel message about "NFS mount version older than kernel" has finally been canned

I am using nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-r5.

I've just filed in a bug about this:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104369

If additional information is needed just let me know.

best wishes

in this kernel the suspend does not work with in the "traditional" way:
echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep for RAM suspend does not work (on my laptop the file /proc/acpi/sleep does not exist)

in 2.6.13 kernel , as written in the documentation of the kernel (Documentation/power), the file is now /sys/power/state and has 3 states:
- standby
- mem (ram suspend)
- disk (disk suspend)

but on my T42 only suspend-to-ram works fine

funny problem with 2.6.13 (using oldconfig from 2.6.12-r9)

My usb mouse is just "Not Working"(Tm) ... Udev sees it, but input layer just don't recognize the thing as a USB mouse like 2.6.12 used to do... only the touch pad is working... (For Info: Ms Intellimouse Explorer v1.1 - the good old one)

Will dig on that... if anyone got fix, go ahead, i do not bother to not dig the problem ;-)

EDIT: Hmm... Alps "scroll" seems borked as well...

I can't seem to emerge gentoo-sources-2.6.13. I keep getting that error about it being masked, but even adding a "=" doesn't help, and neither does editing the package.keywords file to allow it to be installed. HELP

Does anyone know if hardened-sources are still being maintained? They are stuck at 2.6.11 and no ChangeLog activity.

Nevermind! That's what I get for editing the file in another virtual console :roll:

vvv Still very solid information for other people who might have this problem! Thanks!

You always have to use the =, >, <, <=,>= operators when you specify a version. When you specify keywords for packages, don't specify the version, nor use the above operators. So, in your package.keywords file, it should just be

gentoo 2.6.13 rocks! I had no problem whatsoever upgrading from 2.6.12.

I'm still having this issue,
from dmesg:

I can't even boot it - goes into some endless loop at boot when ACPI is initialized (ACPI is compiled into the kernel)... Something about some event not being handled.
Anyone know anything about this?

Actually, I have a small problem with 2.6.13.
The loopback network thing doesn't start at boot. There is a thread on that elsewhere, so I'll report there.

If anyone has troubles with their network after upgrading, just follow us. :wink:

I cannot run "make menuconfig".
Symlink /usr/src/linux points to /usr/src/linux-2.6.13-gentoo.

"cd /usr/src/linux" and a "make menuconfig" brings:

I have been running kernel 2.6.13-gentoo since the day the ebuild was marked ~x86. I upgraded from kernel 2.6.12-r7, so not a big jump.

I had one minor problem when upgrading - for some reason the intel-agp module had symbol issues that prevented its ability to load and generated some errors in the boot console (although glxgears frame rates didn't seem to have suffered at all). I suspected this was because I hadn't diabled module support for every motherboard under the sun (which is the genkernel default), so when I re-ran genkernel, during the menuconfig step I disabled support for all other motherboards except mine (Intel 440BX). On re-boot, everything was clean and everything worked, including ALSA (I use latest alsa-driver 1.09b, which I re-emerged prior to reboot).

Upgrade to 2.6.13-gentoo was the smoothest kernel upgrade I've ever had, though I'm sure this was partially driven by the fact I've has so much practice (I've been on kernel 2.6 since early last year and have kept current with the ~x86 gentoo-sources ever since) and that my machine is a dinosaur (PII 300, Voodoo Banshee video card, C-Media sound card, no RAID or LVM to mess with).

I also made sure to re-emerge all alsa related packages (alsa-utils, alsa-lib, alsa-oss, alsa-headers, etc.) and run modules-update prior to reboot, just in case some dependency wound up broken because of the kernel upgrade.

I love Gentoo.

Can I ask a dumb question? (ok, I will)

What does it mean that in 2.6.13 we can load another kernel from a currently executing kernel using Kexec? What's the benefit/ what can you do with this? It sounds cool, I'm just wondering what the implication is...
