unofficial linux-ck repo with cpu optimized packages is ONLINE

eschwartz · 2015-11-18 18:48:51

I already dl'ed the bugtracker diff attachment, and I'm currently rebuilding the kernel to see if it works.

eschwartz · 2015-11-18 21:40:39

Aaaand... it works!

graysky · 2015-11-18 21:53:59

@Eschwatz - Thanks for testing. You can check the following to see if it gets queued for 4.3.1: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kerne … /queue-4.3

OK. I have been running 4.3.0-1-ck for 3 days without a problem and none were reported by early adopters so I refreshed the repo. The only gotcha is there are currently no broadcom-wl-ck for i686 due to a build failure. I need someone with more knowledge to look it. See the AUR page for details.
EDIT: Apparently, nvidia-304xx-ck isn't working either under i686:
% sudo modprobe nvidia              
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

...

[  382.526033] nvidia: Unknown symbol mtrr_del (err 0)
[  382.526299] nvidia: Unknown symbol mtrr_add (err 0)
Unfortunately, it isn't working under x64 either, I can't get the Xorg server to start. Got exactly this error in dmesg. Switched to the Arch default kernel.
Is there a way to fix this nvidia bug or do we have to wait until nvidia fixes it?

Having nvidia bug with ck-kx (applies to all ck-* I guess), but switching back to stock linux kernel, which is a later version of kernel, working. Oops! Actually ck- is 4.3, and linux is still 4.2.5 but ck has been behind lately until this week apparently.

graysky · 2015-11-21 15:48:31

The nvidia-304xx bug has been fixed with a small patch reverting a upstream commit but I await the Arch kernel maintainers to approve of it before I incorporate[1]. In other news, thanks to andreyv in the AUR, broadcom-wl-ck now builds for i686.

Special thanks for sorting out broadcom-wl-ck-atom... .. !

Jristz · 2015-11-22 13:58:15

yeah, getting permanent reproducible kernel panics with btrfs and elevator=bfq
I think you mention this some months ago...

also what I should use?

$ gcc -c -Q -march=native --help=target | grep march
  -march=                     		bonnell
$

eschwartz · 2015-11-22 15:04:11

bonnel = atom, I believe.

And I use btrfs, and bfq enabled by default.
But no kernel panics.

keepitsimpleengineer · 2015-11-22 16:31:16

Yikes
The upgrade to 4.3 broke my Archlinux 32 bit Lenovo S12 (Intel) laptop, will not finish boot to X.

This downgrade avoided that problem:
linux-ck-atom-4.1.13-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz linux-ck-atom-headers-4.1.13-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz broadcom-wl-ck-atom-6.30.223.271-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz

Hardware info at http://pastebin.com/nRBnMHBs

Surprisingly,
the laptop also boots manjaro linux which is running repo-ck's linux-ck 4.3-1 &c, but the mesa version is 11.0.4 vice Archlinux's 11.0.6 , no problems with it, so far... .. .

eschwartz · 2015-11-22 16:42:52

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GSE Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

That chipset was reported in the bugreport I referenced above, which broke the display.
That would be a kernel bug, but if so, why did it work when booting to Manjaro with the same kernel???

Do you want to try rebuilding it with the patch I linked?

I would suppose it is the mesa driver difference, archlinux today upped to 11.0.6 while manjaro is still at 11.0.4...

I tried downgrading mesa to 11.0.5 in archlinux but it still hung at boot with no X.

Willing but not able to rebuild with patch... .. .

eschwartz · 2015-11-22 17:23:22

The fact that it works in Manjaro does make it hard to understand how it could be the same problem.

But your chipset is the same one that someone else reported was broken.

Either way, for general reference, here is a patch which adds the fix I used: http://pastebin.com/5tWLFJQ4

Just apply it to your download of the linux-ck PKGBUILD directory with patch -p1 < $pastebin

keepitsimpleengineer · 2015-11-22 18:33:53

So to test that the mesa drivers version made a difference, I upgraded to linux-ck-atom 4.3 &c and downgraded mesa to 11.0.4 on archlinux. The result was it failed to boot into X.

Worried that I wasn't running graysky's -ck on the manjaro system I checked... .. .

I am not sure of what to make of this... .. .

The only other thing that I can conjure up is that manjaro is running compiz but I cannot see how that would make a difference?

keepitsimpleengineer · 2015-11-22 21:51:23

@Eschwartz

So I took a look at Xorg.o.log and journalctl -b for the 4.3&c on manjaro(working) and archlinux(not working) and didn't learn much.

In any case they are at (for a few weeks)

A problem with the kernel that isn't in the repos, but in an unofficial repo, and we can't say that Allan broke it. Drat!

keepitsimpleengineer · 2015-11-24 15:19:53

BTW I have kept a non -ck kernel but hadn't booted it in many months.

So when I did I got the same stop a X as with the 4.4-1 -ck kernel.

When I downgraded it to 4.2.5-1-ARCH it booted normally... .. .

nomorewindows · 2015-11-24 17:11:35

I'm not using ck since my nvidia not working. So I go to stock linux kernel and ... now using my tv tuner (bt878) hard locks the machine.

nomorewindows · 2015-11-24 20:16:51

Ok, here comes some updates.

nomorewindows · 2015-11-24 20:50:00

Updated, and still no nvidia with linux-ck.

graysky · 2015-11-24 21:19:30

As far as I know, only 304xx is not working (but true for ck and ARCH). There is a fix proposed but it awaits approval by the Arch devs. Is it the 304xx drivers that do not work for you?

nomorewindows · 2015-11-24 21:31:33

It's not working on nvidia-304xx-ck-kx for me. Having to switch back to stock linux to use nvidia.

Yep. It's not done automatically

Hi there.
Since I am using a Westmere CPU, would you please make linux-ck-westmere package as well? Big thanks!

Doctor Colossus · 2015-12-17 20:18:01

Guys, does anyone have a copy of linux-ck-atom-4.2.5*-i686.tar.xz? I had been holding back for a while, waiting for the Intel bug to get fixed. I upgraded a couple of days ago just to check if the latest kernel had fixed it, but I didn't realize I had accidentally purged my old 4.2.5 package to recover disk space, so now I'm stuck and can't downgrade. I've had to switch back to mainline. I miss bfq. Please PM me if you can help me out, or better yet post a link since there are probably another handful of people in the same bind. Thanks a lot.
