Old posts from the morph-sources thread

[yardbird]

I'm using Reiser4 on all my partition except /boot and that rocks since a while ... that was my main motivation to try the morph sources. Since cannot live without it...

And my box runs with an Athlon XP Barton 32 bits on a Nforce 2 based mobo.

I use i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4 version of gcc.

I've unmerge and re-emerge morph-sources and try to compile again: same error:

Code: Select all

Just ask for other informations if u need it ...
I would go further on analysis of the problem but don't know where to start...

Did you use "make oldconfig" or similar? Try to compile statically (instead of module) the option

Code: Select all

CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEFLATE=y

If you are using reiser4 on all partitions you need this option statically, because since the latest patch reiser4 depends on it.

[Zentoo]

Yes my script have used

make oldconfig

.

I haved check the static check box for CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEFLATE and run my Script to install the kernel:

Code: Select all

-> Taking /boot/config-2.6.11-morph11 as configuration file.
-> Kernel and modules compilation in progress...
Root device is (3, 3)
Boot sector 512 bytes.
Setup is 4926 bytes.
System is 2385 kB
-> Kernel and modules compiled.
-> Emerge of media-gfx/splashutils in progress...
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
-> Media-gfx/splashutils installed.
-> Modules installation in progress...
-> Modules installed.
-> System.map installed on /boot.
-> kernel-2.6.11-morph11 installed on /boot.
-> Emerge of media-video/nvidia-kernel in progress...
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
-> Media-video/nvidia-kernel installed.
-> Emerge of net-dialup/eagle-usb in progress...
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
-> Net-dialup/eagle-usb installed.
-> Emerge of media-libs/svgalib in progress...
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
-> Media-libs/svgalib installed.
-> GRUB menu updated.

So the compilation have been done like a charm... so this option is the reason. I even prefer that the compilation fails like this than the boot have failed further... More easy to track... So rign now Reiser4 needs the CONFIG_ZLIB_DEFLATE as static... why it's using this ? strange, but it needs really it since i cannot uncheck the CONFIG_ZLIB_DEFLATE option anymore (thinks it's a dependancy or reiser4).

So Morph Sources rules again in here ;p

In the future (no idea how long it'll take), reiser4 will support transparent compression. I think they have all the internals done, but there's no user interface to control it yet. Right now Namesys is focusing primarily on getting reiser4 into the vanilla kernel.

The problem here was that oldconfig could not detect the dependency change for reiser4. The DEFLATE options stayed as module, while reiser4 stayed in-kernel, hence the compilation error.

So the bottom line is to be careful when using "make oldconfig"

[nightfrost]

Funny, I've never understood why oldconfig is used. I always use make menuconfig and then I glimpse quickly through stuff that might need an extra check.

Also, speaking of Reiser4: Any ideas of when/if it will support 4k stacks? I haven't tried it just because I'm of the opinion (rightly or wrongly) that 8k stacks will bring perfomance down somewhat.

[bollucks]

Funny, I've never understood why oldconfig is used. I always use make menuconfig and then I glimpse quickly through stuff that might need an extra check.

Because oldconfig will only ask you the things which are new in the new kernel you're configuring. Makes a lot more sense when changing kernel versions as it keeps everything you've already set and asks only about new features.

OK, I see now why one would use that. For me, though, I think it's still easier with make menuconfig

C'mon give lazyness some credit

it builds fine on latest gentoo-sources, also pevious versions of morph was fine.
whitch patch is it conflicting with?

tried it with 8K stacks.

IIRC this is a known problem, and happens on all swsusp2-enabled kernels. There's an ebuild somewhere in bugzilla which fixes the problem, but I have no time to find it now. Search also this thread, it has been already mentioned once or twice (and if you find it, please point me to it... I need to write a FAQ on the site about this - or someone else could, wiki anyone? )

[yardbird]

The resolution for the ndiswrapper issue should be here:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74864

There's a patched ebuild to download.

worked perfectly.

Also added a wiki entry for this:
http://morph-sources.homelinux.net/medi ... /Main_Page

[nightfrost]

A question about the wiki: Do you want it to be gentoo speicific, or more general? The thing is, I've been using arch linux more and more lately, and I could add a PKGBUILD (which is basically arch's version of ebuilds) for morph.

[yardbird]

Hello,

2.6.12-rc6-morph1 is out. It's the first release in the 2.6.12 series, and it is marked as unstable. That said, it's running ok on my laptop after some hours and a pair of suspend cycles. It's missing some stuff, which will be added back with time. The 2.6.11 series will get only updates and bugfixes from now on.

@rel: glad to hear that it worked ok for you, and thanks for contributing to the Wiki!

@nightfrost: the WIKI does not have to be gentoo-specific, feel free to add everything you find useful about morph-sources (also stuff specific to distros other than gentoo).

Cheers

[nightfrost]

Hmm... I'm having problems with the wiki formatting (the PKGBUILD looks strange as the wiki seems to interpret parts of it as formatting commands). If I manage to figure out how to bypass that before tomorrow, I'll add it to the wiki. Otherwise, I'll have to do it in a couple of weeks when I'm back from the countryside

Sorry, but I still am a total n00b regarding mediawiki (still learning myself). If you want to send me some stuff I can see if I can manage to fix the formatting while you are away. PM me or send a mail to "bluescarni AT gmail d0t com".

Thanks

I can't find the ebuild of 2.6.1.2-rc6-morph1,where can I get it?:oops:

Usually I don't roll out ebuilds for "unstable" kernels. If you want to try it, download the patch and apply it on top of 2.6.12-rc6 with "-p1"

[ahorn]

hey yardbird, are the ext3 latency patches in morph? i saw them in love-releases.
and about ndiswrapper+swsusp2. i talked to the ebuild maintainer a month ago to include the patch for swsusp2 kernels, you see what happend .. nothing

yardbird, can you add the ipw2200 stuff from the mm-patchset to morph? it would be great, because emerge ipw2200 sucks .

[YourDoom123]

wait a second! in your 2.6.11-morph11 kernel, i can't find the spot to enable reiser4 support! i'm gonna compile the kernel any way, and see if it works, but i expected reiser4 support, which is why i used that kernel...

Be sure to enable the zlib compression support under the Crypto API menu, and to disable 4kb stacks. I'm using reiser4 myself, so I'm pretty much confident it is in morph-sources

[YourDoom123]

odd... i just reemerged morph-sources, and the reiser4 support section showed up...

you know, i've read about disabling 4k stacks in the kernel hacking section, but i can never find that... i've never seen anything about stack sizes... i checked in the cryptographic routine area as well...

[ahorn]

you'll never find some 4kb/8kb thing because it's not there at amd64. and reiser4 is in this release ... just open your eyes, it's there, enable incomplete drivers and add staticly deflate compression.

[yardbird]

hey yardbird, are the ext3 latency patches in morph?

Mmhmh... don't know, certainly not in the 2.6.11 series. In the 2.6.12 series they are there if they were included in mainline kernel

yardbird, can you add the ipw2200 stuff from the mm-patchset to morph? it would be great, because emerge ipw2200 sucks .

I'll see what I can do. Most possibly yes though, if you say they are in -mm.

[YourDoom123]

well, i take back all my previous complaints this is the only kernel that worked flawlessly for me, and that counts both ck-sources and mm-sources. go figure. thanks for such a great kernel!
