silent_Walker,
Thats probably a good choice as I see from your dmesg
| Code: | [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
[drm] radeon defaulting to kernel modesetting.
[drm] radeon kernel modesetting enabled.
radeon 0000:01:05.0: can't find IRQ for PCI INT B; probably buggy MP table |
so the system can't find an IRQ for your video card anyway.
Read the file /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt It comes down to some trial and error. These are all options you can pass to your kernel at boot time.
For testing, edit the kernel line by pressing 'e' at the grub screen. Try only one at at time. In most cases, several options do not make sense.
| Code: | acpi=noirq
acpi=off
acpi_apic_instance=2
irqfixup
irqpoll |
try each of those in order, one at a time. When the system comes up, check for the IRQ xx and nobody cared in dmesg and the speed of responsiveness of the system.
You should already have tried irqpoll. If none of those work, it gets harder as you need to try kernel rebuilds but there is not a lot left.
Flashing the BIOS is both risky and may not fix it anyway, so thats very much a last ditch thing to try, even if you can find a newer BIOS.

silent_Walker,
You have lost 2 USB root hubs then.
This is a safe expreriment to try provided you do not depend on a USB keyboard and mouse for control of your system.
Its also safe if you can log in from another system using ssh to regain control.
Its hardware dependent ... some USB subsystems have Transaction Translation, some don't if you do, you can use the EHCI driver for USB1 devices too.
Turn on | Code: | │ <*> EHCI HCD (USB 2.0) support │ │
│ │ [*] Root Hub Transaction Translators │ │
│ │ [*] Improved Transaction Translator scheduling |
and turn off | Code: | | < > OHCI HCD support |
If your USB1 devices still work (keyboards, mice, older webcams ... ) you have Transaction translation.
dmesg will show things like | Code: | [ 2.374831] usb 1-6.1: new low-speed USB device number 3 using ehci_hcd
[ 2.566381] usb 1-6.2: new full-speed USB device number 4 using ehci_hcd |
which is two usb1 devices using the EHCI driver.
This may work around your problem by not using IRQ 18.
It will not solve the missing Radeon IRQ though

Configured the kernel and turned of irqpoll rebooted and dmesg does not show irq 18: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)

silent_Walker,
Thats progress then, as long as your USB 1.0 devices still work.
OK lets try Xorg. Make sure that /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist - rename it if it does, so its not used, then do startx.
Post the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file you get after the startx command. Its too big for a forums post, so put it on a pastebin.

silent_Walker,
It was all going really well until | Code: | [ 254.375] drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
[ 254.392] drmOpenByBusid: Searching for BusID pci:0000:01:05.0
[ 254.392] drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
[ 254.408] drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns -1 |
Does the file /dev/dri/card0 exist?
What are its permissions?
Please post your current kernel .config too.

Under the dev directory I do not have a dri directory, however I do have a device file called card0. It has superuser privliges, I believe. Also all of the other device files are under the dev dir.
current kernel config is here:

silent_Walker,
Lets see if your /dev/card0 is what Xorg is looking for. This is a test only, it won't stick over reboots.
Make the dri directory and make it contain a symlink to /dev/card0
| Code: | mkdir /dev/dri
ln -s /dev/card0 /dev/dri/card0 |
If that keeps Xorg happy when you startx, we know the problem but not the fix.
should belong to root and be in the video group.

startx does start succesfully now  However it just sits at a black screen with the X cursor and the entire system hangs, the caps and num lock keys wont even turn off also none of the function keys work either.
Here is my latest X log

Looked through the forums and found an old thread that depicted the same problem that I am having and it was solved through
"eselect opengl set ati"
That however did not work, because accorrding to eselect I have no GPU drives loaded besides opengl.

That 51255 log shows only successful server termination, though the odd thing is that no input devices are getting activated, nor any input drivers are getting loaded.
Is xf86-input-evdev emerged ?
Is udev running ? If so, what does 'udevadm info' print about i.e. your mouse ? |

I do have xf86-input-evdev emerged and udevadm info says missing option

 'udevadm info --help', 'man udevadm'...
Though chances are the server quits simply cause you aren't running any clients (like i.e. a window manager). |

I do have compiz in my .xinitrc and desktop does display with a cursor but the mouse and keyboard will not work in a X environment.

silent_Walker,
Move your ~/.xinitrc out of the way for now.
Do | Code: | | emerge -1 twm xterm xclock |
and run startx with no xorg.conf and no ~/.xinitrc
You should get twm, displaying three xterms and an analogue clock. This is a standard test of Xorg.
Homework: Why is the -1 in the emerge command above?

The -1 in emerge means it will emerge the package as normal but the package will not update.
Without .xinitrc the server just quits.

silent_Walker,
Correct. In this instance, the packages will not be added to your world file, (hence will not be updated) and will be removed by emerge --depclean.
Thats good as they are only intended for testing and will be removed in the normal course of system maintainence.
