 Posted: Thu Jan 06, 2005 10:27 am Post subject: 2.6.10-nitro3: Popper Unable To Process Jumbo Kernel |
 |
|
THIS KERNEL HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE MORE UNSTABLE THAN NORMAL. IT ALSO HAS THE POTENTIAL TO KICK MORE ASS THAN ANY OTHER KERNEL I'VE MADE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
| Code: |
2.6.10 #newest kernel version
-bk3 #latest snapshot
-ac2 #alan cox's patchset
-ckdev #latest ck snapshot (not including supermount)
-alsa 1.0.7 #includes several misc fixes which may or may not affect things
reiser4 #newest snapshot with extra patches
vesafb-tng #slight changes which may or may not affect anything
fbsplash #slight changes which may or may not affect anything
chmp #new version of mouse polling patch
sk98lin driver #sk98lin network driver
-parport fix #included in main now
-ITERAID #see note
inotify
-swsusp2+win4lin #see note
cflags-selection-for-nitro #change cflags for kernel
hostap #hostAP drivers
================================
+ck2 #latest ck patch
+ac4 #alan cox's patchset
+alsa 1.0.8-rc1
+config-nr-tty-devices
+swsusp2 #see note
+mm1 #see note |
Extra:
CONFIG_IOPRIO_WRITE
See that option? Do NOT enable it. Bad things happen if you do. I'm not even sure if you can find it in the menuconfig or the xconfig, but if you do, leave it alone. Perhaps in time it will grow mature enough to be used, but now it just breaks things.
To users of reiser4: it compiles. I tested it. Turn 4k stacks off.
To users of swsusp2: it compiles. I tested it.
To users of this ebuild: it works. I tested it.
Win4lin: For some reason, I get tons of undefined symbols in the win4lin module. The rest of it compiles with minimal whining. It is not functional, so don't bother. If, however, somebody can manage to get it to resolve the symbols, I will not only give them a cookie, but I will fix the patch to incorporate such changes.
ITERAID8212: The driver from the main branch should work for this now.
Oh, and there's a broken out directory on the site now. I can't guarantee that it will always be completely up-to-date, nor can I assure you that EVERY patch I used is in there. But most of them are in there.
I've been told that the orinoco driver works in this version, but I can't verify that. Therefore, the following may or may not apply.
Official orinoco statement:
I am not going to be trying to patch orinoco drivers in again until they update the patch. It's just too much of a hassle, and it breaks the drivers for other things when I try. That's not to say that seppe won't when he gets back, because he most likely has his own policy about such things. For now though, you'll have to do it yourself.
How to get orinoco working:
Simply copy the hermes and orinoco files from a previous kernel with working drivers. These files will be located in linux/drivers/net/wireless/ (where linux is the name of your kernel). Copy them into the same place in this kernel tree, and it will work.
If someone wants to post links to hermes+orinoco files that work for this, I will make a kernel patch (or you can do that part yourself) that will make it easier to get working in the future. It will still need to be manually applied though.
USERS OF INTERWAVE ISA SOUND CARDS: This is not the kernel for you. The driver doesn't compile.
mm: Yes, this also includes 2.6.10-mm1. You ARE reading correctly. There's just one catch. I didn't use all the patches. Just most of them. I've included a list of the patches that I DID NOT use here. This of course, broke many things, which I then had to fix. I tested a LOT of things, and fixed everything except win4lin (to my knowledge). If you get an error, post it here asap so I can fix it.
With that in mind, I'll just say "Works for me!". Oh, and for some reason it didn't like hdparm (the gentoo script; works fine when executed normally). It hangs if it's in any runlevel, and won't die if you run it as a user. Odd, but true.

Using the config file of the currently running kernel, 2.6.9-nitro3, I get the following errors:
| Code: | CC net/sched/sch_generic.o
LD net/sched/built-in.o
CC net/sunrpc/clnt.o
CC net/sunrpc/xprt.o
CC net/sunrpc/sched.o
net/sunrpc/sched.c:1007:32: macro "create_workqueue" requires 2 arguments, but only 1 given
net/sunrpc/sched.c: In function `rpciod_up':

net/sunrpc/sched.c:1007: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

make[1]: *** [net/sunrpc] Error 2

Edit:2.6.10-nitro2 also compiles fine with the same config file.

As about 30 people a day didn't seem to understand that you couldn't browse the nitro directory, I have now allowed browsing (someone tried over 20 times a day for 4 days - think they would have got the point the first time  ).
Anyway, this means you can browse the directory for ebuilds, patches and the broken-out patches.
Use the direct links above or go to http://www.pickledonion.net/nitro

Thanks for new nitro 
Untested, but compiled fine with this config:

The new kernel is working great here:
| Code: |
uptime
20:35:21 up 1:00, 12 users, load average: 3.30, 2.86, 2.17

Thanks for your work Darckness

elocal: edit the file arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c and delete line 900 along with the two squigley braces after it.
galiza_ceive: the link doesn't work. Anyone know where CONFIG_SUNRPC is in menuconfig?

galiza_ceive: compiles fine. Try running 'make mrproper' and then copying your config back in.

My question is what this option in kernel does !? is it better to switch it on or off. ( OT )
CONFIG_X86_GENERIC=y
I'm waitng to compile it now.
I'm kinda noob, anyway your kernel suits me best.
Thx for IT

| Sun rpc isn't on menuconfig at least i can't not find the option, it is set as when choosing NFS on networking filesystems, disable NFS to bypass that error |

Looks nice, too bad I can't test it (I'm on an evil OS working with some proprietary software for school ).
Don't forget that I want to make a new nitro (with a few nice suprises I won't tell now ) somewhere around the 15th of January 
Keep up the good work, Darckness!
