I tried morph9 and found sws2 didnt work, complined about lack of space

I'm on morph10 now and everything seems fine; except I have this swsusp2-issue as well. It worked once though, after several tries. I haven't tried the filewriter but might try it to see what happens - I just don't like the idea of spending 1 gig on any of my partitions except the swap, since that's pretty much the only thing the swap is used for on my laptop. By the way, is it possible to have both filewriter and swapwriter compiled in and then choose one of them in user space?

Hi,

win4lin was included in swsusp2 but was recently ditched. I'll see if I can add it back in the next release.

As for swsusp2, the easiest setup is that which uses swap space. The filewriter is a little bit slower and requires some extra steps to work. A quick (and probably incomplete) howto:

- Install the latest hibernate-script (in portage).
- Setup /etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf to use swsusp2 and the filewriter, specifying which file to use and its dimension. You don't need to create it beforehand, the script will do it for you.
- Try to hibernate; it will fail and spit out some useful messages. Basically you need to specify in grub or lilo
the _position_ of the file (_not_ its path!), which will be expressed in some nasty hexadecimal number. On my system:

Code: Select all

kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-morph10 root=/dev/hda6 resume2=file:/dev/hda6:0x4bcf0f

To see which is the hexadecimal position of your file you have to check out an entry in /proc IIRC (sorry for not being more specific, I did it quite some time ago).

Then it is always possible that swsusp2 has some glitches. I recommend to check out the mailing list, it is very friendly and helpful (http://suspend2.net).

Please note that the hibernate script also supports suspend-to-RAM, with the extra benefit that it can unload problematic modules and stop processes that do not want to freeze, before suspending.

Hope that helps

Ok, i'll try morph10 in a couple of minutes. But I noticed that Win4Lin was gone in morph9 :'(
Was it on purpose?

--
edit: same on morph10, no win4lin, erf.

Same problem for me - with win4lin in morph, everything worked fine. Applying newer morphs and win4lin results in a lot of .rej files, and kernel won't compile.

Any chance of getting win4lin back to morph11? 12?

I'm working on it.

Hello,

the webserver will go down in a few hours. The downloads are always available at the sourceforge page:

http://sf.net/projects/morph-sources

I'm working on the next release, which will sport the latest stable swsusp2 patch (released today). I'm also working on getting win4lin back. Hope to be done for the weekend

Cheers.

whats up with K8 NUMA support?? what is NUMA used for??

Thanks for this, I just tuned into this topic, and was wondering why the link didn't work

[nightfrost]

Hi,

I've been away for a few days, but right after my last post I tried swsusp2 with the filewriter. It works perfectly fine and some of the problems I previously had seem to be gone as well. Furthermore, the filewriter now seems a lot faster than that of the previous release (which was included in 2.6.11-morph9).

The filewriter solution is really nice for me since I dual boot different distros. Now I can hibernate one distro and boot into the other, and still use the same swap partition for both

Hi all!
About win4lin: as I wrote on morph's page it's simple:
1.apply morph patch on vanilla (I don't know what about emerge... )
2.download from netraverse.com last mki patch and Kernel patch
3.apply them
4.Kernel-Win4Lin3-2.6.11.5.patch reject one file -- its simple correct by hand...
but I try make a patch http://www.savefile.com/files/1876073
download it, rename in win4lin1.diff or in what you need,
copy it in src (where kernel) in my system /usr/src/linux
and apply

Code: Select all

patch -p1 <./win4lin1.diff

P.S.
1. I'm not a coder or kernel hacker
2. In my system it work but I do it by hand...http://www.savefile.com/files/7961473
3. system build with staircase+ all other patchs from extra patchets and I don't know will be it work with nicksched

P.P.S
Sorry for my English...

[bollucks]

3. system build with staircase+ all other patchs from extra patchets and I don't know will be it work with nicksched

Staircase and Nicksched are mutually exclusive; ie you can only have one OR the other but not both.

[rel]

I cant get ndiswrapper to compile on morph.
Is this because I've software suspend compiled in?

Any way to get it to compile?

Yes I know.
I try to say that in my case (I use staircase) it work and I don't know will be it work or not if you use nicksched...

Hello all,

2.6.11-morph11 is out. It has some nice updates, and win4lin is back. Please test it, since I don't have win4lin.

Sorry about the site downtime, we have yet another modem now. It's a D-Link and hopefully should behave better than our latest "el-cheapo" one. In any case if the site is down you can always download the patches and ebuilds from sourceforge:

http://sf.net/projects/morph-sources

Hi !

Yet a release is in here, SourceForge mails me, i download the ebuild and use a custom script that compiles, installs, and emerge dependencies automagicly by updating my last config kernel file, it's a king of personal genkernel. And this time surprise ! it's the first time since i use morph sources that i get an error while the compilation. So i have run by hands the compilation process and that's the error:

morph-sources-2.6.11-r11 works for me

PS: morph-sources offers actually the best kernel IMHO

Mmmhh... would you give some more details? Are you on AMD64? Using reiser4? How's the setting in CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEFLATE (under the cryptographic-API menu)?

[rush_ad]

is the K8 NUMA issue with amd64 solved with this release? swpsus2 issue?

[nightfrost]

strange... I didn't get a notification when "reply was posted". Anyway, gonna try the new morph now

[El_Goretto]

Win4lin is Ok here, thx

[nightfrost]

Running "strangelove" now. Seems all fine. It might just be my imagination but my system feels a little more responsive now. However, swsusp's filewriter is somewhat slower, but works just fine. I'm still having the drm errors after resume from any form of suspend, but I'm expecting that. (It might even be xorg for all I know).

"Dante" was very stable and smooth on my system; this one seems to be no less. Thanks again, yardbird!

[yardbird]

The morph wiki is online, it can be reached here:

http://morph-sources.homelinux.net/mediawiki

Any contribution is of course much appreciated

is the K8 NUMA issue with amd64 solved with this release? swpsus2 issue?

Swsusp2 support for AMD64 is not there yet. I've not tested if the NUMA issue is solved, but there are good chances it is. Let me know if you try.

[rush_ad]

still doesnt work with K8 NUMA.

Hello all,

2.6.11-morph11 is out. It has some nice updates, and win4lin is back. Please test it, since I don't have win4lin.

It's most welcome to have win4lin back. Works flawlessly.

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:
