Have a look of my "Acer Aspire One development kernel" at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22794. The PKGBUILD includes files "ath5k-patch1.patch" and "ath5k-patch2.patch". If you patch your kernel sources with these two, you get working wifi LEDs
Cool, where are the patches from? Are they also included in compat-wireless from wireless.kernel.org? I am on the stock kernel 2.6.28 from the testing repo and do not want to compile the whole kernel just for the LED's.

Also about the 16gb SDHC card in the left slot. I upgraded my stock kernel from testing and am seeing the same problem...error -84 on the mmc0 device.

I'll have to work on getting stuff compiled. All my dev machines currently run gentoo, i've only moved the single/dual core boxes over to arch.

Btw I can't seemm to find a kernel26-one for 2.6.27.7 anywhere. Is that still somewhere available?

http://dev.archlinux.org/~andyrtr/kerne … pkg.tar.gz - it's a slightly modified one based on the AUR kernel.

It's no longer available, somewhere on the early pages of this thread gothicknight gave a link to his kernel..I'm just not sure if it is .27...

Further info....this was in the left side reader. Also the exact same message shows up on boot with the card already inserted.
In other news I took a 1GB SD card from my wife and inserted it into the left hand slot. The card and partition were recognized just fine.

What is the filesystem being used on your sdhc? If its ntfs, it will have problems automounting..

If somebody has still problems with sdcard, the solution is debug_quirks in sdhci module.
Add this into your kernel line:
sdhci.debug_quirks=1
and everything should works now

How to check temperature of cpu? Is the patch from .27 working on .28?

sudo /etc/rc.d/bluetooth start
Can't open HIDP control socket: Protocol not supported
Can't open RFCOMM control socket: Protocol not supported

How I can enable support of this features?
on kernel26 works.

Thanks.
I'd added a /etc/modules.d/sdhci file with options sdhci debug_quirks=1 with the ARCH kernel but that didn't work. This did.

I've visited the AUR and down to the link of the tarball of the kernel26-one...The tarball doesn't have any files...I'm using opera as my browser, don't know if it is related...Also on yaourt, I had problems downloading it also...:(

I cannot boot on my stock kernel anymore....:(Any ideas how to restore?

AndyRTR · 2009-01-08 05:38:57

^ I've posted a link to a precompiled one a few posts before

@kaola: This is the post where he released the latest version.

@AndyRTR: What are the difference between yours and his?

Second latest!?
I've already uploaded it to my usual FTP but haven't tried yet on my own AA1 sorry folks
If someone is willing to try and *possibly* crash your AA1 with a bootless kernel: http://clientes.netvisao.pt/gtknight/ke … pkg.tar.gz

Hello, I'm currently using the .28 version of the kernel26-one.
Tried putting an ssd on the right sd slot but it doesn't show up...:/

Can someone check this link:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19580

I've downloaded the tarball but it doesn't contain anything...:(

It has NFS support, only 1GB memory support and less debug functionality and not all the messy asm header you only need when you want to compile 3rd party modules. When I remember right the Madwifi-hal driver is still included for fallback.

I was bored tonight, so I compared glxgears against kernel26-one and kernel26-one-dev (both in aur), using AccelMethod "UXA". The first one gives me 358fps, and the last one 389fps. All librarys on the system were official Arch packages from core/testing reposity. I find this very interesting. I am wondering is kernel26-one-dev performing better because it's newer (git11), or is it because of the compilation options, or both. The biggest difference between the two under the hood is probably the fact that the dev one is compiled with "Preemptive RCU", which is still highly experimental though and was still not introcuded in the 2.6.28 release.

Btw, it looks like the kernel tree is stabilizing... So far I haven't hit to any kernel bug on git11 yet

EDIT: I am going to Portugal in Saturday. I've arranged myself a good DSL connection there, but bumping new releases after every new git release might take a bit longer than usual.

Thanks, this solved my problem on the right sd slot using the kernel26-one 2.26.28...:D

edit: I've noticed that my AA1 has a very slow shutdown time, any ideas how to speed it up?:) Thanks

<3 AndyRTR's aa1 kernel

zblach · 2009-01-09 18:21:16

just returned my second AAO. anyone else have an abnormally high amount of hardware failure?

anyways, is the grub configuration for andy's kernel the same as gothicknights? if so, can we reiterate it?

does it have support for MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME? dm-crypt?

-Z

kaola_linux · 2009-01-11 05:40:59

Is laptop-mode useful for the AA1?

I'm experiencing slow shutdown and reboot time on my AA1 how do I speed it up?

ichbinesderelch · 2009-01-11 10:24:38

laptop-mode is only useful if you have the model with the hdd, its mainly abaut saving power through spinning down harddrive etc, afaik, correct me if i'm wrong.

My root partition on the ssd formated with ext2 brings fschk errors from time to time again. I'm running Xfce on it and can shutdown as user (that I cannot on all my other Xfce installations). It's weird. The hal "user is not allowed" issue doesn't happen on that system. It takes ages when I press "shutdown" and then I see only the last few shutdown messages. All the rest meanwhile is covered. So what is happening? Does the ssd take too long for writing caches back that the init files start forcing the shutdown and leave badly mounted filesystems?

Somebody else?

Wiki recommends install r8169 driver for eth0, but it don't work on my 110L. Only r8101 works fine.
Anybody have same problem?

Yeah, with r8169 my ethernet only worked about 1/3 of the time, so I built r8101 from source and it has worked flawlessly since.

ichbinesderelch · 2009-01-12 09:29:06

using kdemod shutdown is pretty fast, never had any problems with that, can shutdown as user and seeing all the shutdown messages etc, everything works normal here.
using ext2 on the root partition myself, not having those errors as well, only with unclean shutdowns etc, maybe something related to xfce?

Anyone using the acerfand? I read some warnings on the debian wiki.. wondering if people ahd any problems with it?

ichbinesderelch · 2009-01-12 15:35:15

i'm using the acerfand without any troubles since i have my aa1, fan rarly spins up, ocassionally when watching movies with it on an external screen, acerfand keeps the aa1 really quiet, its not getting hot anyways

yeah

the wireless is particularly unstable.. when download/uploading large volumes the wlan card will shut down after a few minutes.. then i need to wait a bit and restart netcfg2. this is 100% repeatable, i guess it must be overheating. i'm not using acerfand (anymore) and the fans are on.

i'm also getting the occasional hard freeze (blinking caps lock), just had one now after restarting the wlan card 3 times ..

very disappointing, especially since i've been so satisfied with it otherwise..

edit: i have 3 AAO's, 110L (parents), 150L (me) and 150X (girlfriend). all of them are having the same occasional issues.
