Acer Aspire 5750 Problems in Error.log

Hello,

I installed Arch on a Acer Aspire 5750 with:

i3-2330M CPU @ 2.20GHz
4 GB Ram

and Arch runs very well!

But by every boot of Arch I got this errors:

1: /usr/sbin/crond[469]: (CRON) INFO (Syslog will be used instead of sendmail.): Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
But I do not ever install sendmail ...

2: kernel: [    6.146484] sdhci-pci 0000:02:00.1: Invalid iomem size. You may experience problems.

3: kernel: [    6.194110] [drm:intel_dsm_platform_mux_info] *ERROR* MUX INFO call failed

4: kernel: [    7.260867] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Invalid ROM contents

5: kernel: [   15.228768] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: 0xD518: i2c wr fail: -6

and I got a wlan error, but my wlan works very well.

My Arch runs well with this errors... I think this errors are not so bad, but I want to boot arch very fast and with this error messages I need 50 seconds...

The other Problem:

In the Wiki I read something about fgetty and agetty... I replaces agetty with fgetty in /etc/inittab and I installed fgetty via yaourt  But I still got an fgetty error:

init: cannot execute "/sbin/fgetty"

But the /sbin/fgetty is there...

Can someone help me with this problems?

Thanks!

That is just telling you that syslog will be used instead of sendmail, because there is no sendmail program to use on the system.

2: kernel: [    6.146484] sdhci-pci 0000:02:00.1: Invalid iomem size. You may experience problems.

Does your sd card reader work properly? I use to get that error before I noticed it did not work. I fixed it by adding this to modprobe.conf

options sdhci debug_quirks=0x40

Not really sure on the other two as I try to avoid nouveau use personally and have never seen that intel related error on mine either and have not done fgetty on my systems.
Hope that gets you some place

Thanks vwyodajl, but this didn't work for me.  I tried adding this option to /etc/modprobe.d/sdchi.conf and:

sdchi.debug_quirks=0x40

to the kernel line in the GRUB configuration (/etc/grub/menu.lst) and neither worked.  Any other ideas?

Re: Acer Aspire 5750 Problems in Error.log

You could maybe try blacklisting the module in modprobe.conf then adding it to rc.local. I also remember someone but can not find it now saying they had luck just removing then reloading the module when they got the same type of error. Other than that I am not sure.

Ah thanks vwyodajl this did the trick.  I discovered that my sd card was not correctly being discovered after login.  Removing the module and adding it again fixes the problem.  I put this in /etc/rc.local:

[[ $(lsmod | grep sdhci) ]] && rmmod sdhci_pci sdhci && modprobe sdhci_pci && modprobe sdhci
