hard crash while initializing i2o with a promise supertrak sx6000 raid controller ...

I am currently using 2.6-test1-mm1 with no usb mouse probs. The last time I did have probs it was with 2.4, I needed to enable hot plug support in the kernel. Just a thought.

ati-drivers, is there hope in sight

Oh boy.... Ext3 seems pretty b0rked in mm2 - I'm unable to issue any commands following login. Anybody else have similar problems?

Suggestion: When the next 2.6.0-x kernel comes out, maybe we should set up two sticky threads - one for discussion one for support. I don't know whether or not it would keep things more sane, but it couldn't hurt. Just something to think about...

Does 2.6.0-test1-mm2 already include evms2.1.0 patches? I tried to aply them, but they didn't all work. (i was in a hurry, so i didn't try a clean mm2 kernel)

Something to add to the general mix in this thread.

Try
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=68647
for tips on which modules to add to modules.autoload (or modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6) to get alsa going and
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=50109
for a nice little alsa script to mute/unmute your sound card (instead of using local.start and local.stop).
I can't vouch for the script as I wrote my own based on alsasound, but thats where I got the idea from.

I've unmerge'd (what an ugly word) alsa-driver and removed /etc/init.d/alsasound. With the above additions, there have been no side effects yet.

I also had a wheel mouse problem with my usb mouse but changed XF86Config-4 to use /dev/input/mouse0 (touchpad) and /dev/input/mouse1 (usb mouse) instead of /dev/usbmouse and /dev/mouse which had there links swapped for some reason. Maybe a module loading order reversal. Both mice work like a charm now.

Got the "Kernel Panic: VFS: ..." root problem on a work machine, guess that'll happen when you compile hdd support as a module.

Just incase some makes the same mistake and is confused with all the -mm patch errors that are similar. Oh.. and don't try making your keyboard support a module before fixing modules.autoload.. tends to make things difficult.

P.S: Damn the jump from 2.4.21 to 2.6.0 is great. Feel like I have a whole new machine.

Now what else can I tweak.

Time to trim that ugly modules.conf.d/alsa file.

Also what chipset do you have ?

Mine's a VIA Apollo Pro 133A. I used to use the UHCI module in 2.4.
I can't figure out what's wrong or missing.

Thank you for the help; eGore911 but my mouse still won't respond.

Guess it has to be a bug in 2.6 or something.

I don't know about mm2 but mm1 didn't come with evms patches. I used the patch that comes with the latest emvs2.1 release (if I wasn't mistaken, it was made for the 2.5.73 kernel). Some of the hunks in the multipath.c patch might get rejected, but you can always edit it by hand as I did. If you want, I could post the diff b/n my patched and the 2.6.0-test1-mm1's multipath.c file later on tonight.

Is it just for me that gstreamer skips some when playing audio with the 2.6.0-test1 kernel(s)? XMMS and Quark works flawless..

Halanegri · Post by **Halanegri** » Thu Jul 24, 2003 1:11 am

I'm using mm2 and its working great(really responsive). I needed to do the followoing to get it working though:

1. Create the /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 file and symlink /etc/modules.autoload to it.
2. Emerge module-init-tools
3. Use root=0303 instead of root=/dev/hda3 in /boot/grub/grub.conf. (I'm using ReiserFS)
4. Create a /sys directory.
5. Include Unix98 PTY Support and Devpts support in the kernel(didn't need to add any line to my /etc/fstab though).
6. Emerge alsa-utils and to amixer/alsamixer to unmute channels and change the volume(and use the script someone posted so that the volume doesn't change back)
7. Do "emerge --inject alsa-driver" because some packages(like alsa-xmms) think they need it and will try to emerge it.

However, there are a few things I still need help with:

1. The rivafb driver for the framebuffer console doesn't compile(it didn't compile on 2.5.75 either), neither with gcc-3.2.3 or gcc-3.3.
2. If I use framebuffer, icelandic(consolefont: cp850-8x16) fonts only show up correctly on the first tty, others are just using the default consolefont I guess.
3. Bootsplash doesn't work(no background image).
4. There's no supermount anymore. What can I do? Use a patch? Or it possible to use the automounter in the same fasion as supermount?

Anyone having problems playing DVD's? Xine just will not play them now that I have 2.6.0-test1-mm2. It says:

Code: Select all

The souce can't be read.  Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data (e.g: not disc in drive).  (Error reading NAV packet.)

I think it is because I have UDF compiled into the kernel which I haven't done before.

Make sure you have the /dev/dvd file pointing to the correct device (ie. sr0 for scsi emulation OR if you are going atapi only, hdc or whatever device it is)

Does the rivafb driver still cause console corruption when you exit out of X while using the nvidia drivers? This was a problem with the 2.4 kernels and ppl had to use vesafb instead (60Hz refresh rate).

Guess it has to be a bug in 2.6 or something.

I gave up on the new mouse drivers after 2.5.73... I simply DELETE the entire drivers/input/mouse directory, and drop in the same dir from 2.5.73. This gets me up and running, no problem.

I have a Dell Inspiron 8000 with a Synaptics touchpad; the new /dev/event interface with the userspace Synaptics driver would sort-of-work, and then hard-lock-up my system after a few minutes in X windows.

EDIT:
This is Kernel Bug 904
I am running vanilla 2.6.0-test1 with the drivers/input/mouse directory from 2.5.73, and this system has been up in X Windows all week without any mouse trouble. No trouble at all from the kernel, actually.

Hope this helps...

Post kernel bugs to Bugzilla!

http://bugzilla.kernel.org

The more bug reports they get about these driver issues, the better. Linus says that his major concern at the moment is driver problems.

Who knows, you might even find more info about a problem that you are having. (Well.. it could happen... )

Let them hear you!

And if you don't need the multipath stuff like me, just ignore the failed hunks. It works fine ... well, at least as long as you don't use multipath.

Supermount patch for 2.5.75 works in the vanilla sources and the mm1, and you will need to add two lines manually in the mm2 sources (because of some changes made in the cdrom.c file). There's a post in this same thread explaining it some days ago. I've been using supermount a few days and works correctly, and in my opinion, better than automount.
How do you change the fonts in the framebuffer (VESA, because riva won't compile here either) mode? (seems that I'm as n00b as usual

Anyone using JFS with mm2? I loaded a working vanilla config for the mm2 kernel, had to disable rivafb as stated some posts above but my root fs cannot be mounted at boot. I get the dreaded VFS unable to mount root error. I tried specifying root=0302 for /dev/hda2 as parameter but that was to no avail.

Any ideas?
