Re: 2.6.15-archck3: Community PKG + PKGBUILDs

Btw, I just wanted to let ye' all know that

video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1024x768-32@70

on 2.6.15-kernels defaults to mtrr:0 (disabled) or put in other words equal to nomtrr
on 2.6.14.5 & prior it defaulted to mtrr:3 (write-combining).

so, if you're seeing 'flickers' on 2.6.15-kernels ... ye' have to explictily set it to mtrr:3 (to counter somewhat the cons. of enableing 'ywrap') :-)

Re: 2.6.15-archck3: Community PKG + PKGBUILDs

In the first post, there's an error in the lilo.conf example. The line:

options="video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1280x1024-32@60 splash=silent,theme:darch quiet console=tty1"

should be replaced by:

append="video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1280x1024-32@60 splash=silent,theme:darch quiet console=tty1"

Not without editing the PKGBUILD, no. However the editing would simply consist of removing everything after the patch command.

Re: 2.6.15-archck3: Community PKG + PKGBUILDs

new package compiled and uploaded, will be in repos and mirrors soon.

Should fix ram filling and cpu usage issues which have been noticed. It may run a little bit better too wink

Also should be fixed are some of the ATI issues that have been seen, as I have uploaded a new ATI package too.

Re: 2.6.15-archck3: Community PKG + PKGBUILDs

Is DSDT setting in /etc/mkinitramfs.conf working for archck kernel?
I added
DSDT=/boot/DSDT.aml to the mkinitramfs.conf
I did mkinitramfs --show auto
changed grub menu to appropriate initramfs and I still get
"ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initrd... not found." in dmesg

Re: 2.6.15-archck3: Community PKG + PKGBUILDs

iphitus thought i should draw your attention to this

archck has not the uevent patches from testing kernel i guess that new udev needs.

. You can get the history from http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=18540&start=15

thnx

Re: 2.6.15-archck3: Community PKG + PKGBUILDs

vlado, the next release of ArchCK will have hopefully fixed the initramfs + dsdt setup.

napoleon, ArchCK is compiled for current, not testing. I will take a look and see what I can do. If the packages dont break current, I will most likely include them next release.

Re: 2.6.15-archck3: Community PKG + PKGBUILDs

Anyone running this with the testing repo enabled? I'm just having a play (don't usually use testing) and I'm trying to figure out if USB not working is a problem thats my fault or a compatibility problem wink

Re: 2.6.15-archck3: Community PKG + PKGBUILDs

The testing repo.... and now current, needs the uevent patch which is in the 2.6.15-archck3.2 release which I uploaded yesterday. It's available on the main Arch server now, and should propagate to the mirrors though the day.

Re: 2.6.15-archck3: Community PKG + PKGBUILDs

I'm using ArchCK kernel from community. It's a problem with the kernel but I seem to be the only person getting it so I don't know why. I'm getting this in my everything.log. My next course of action is to build it from source myself so I'll see how I go...

Re: 2.6.15-archck3: Community PKG + PKGBUILDs

I have updated. That's after a pacman -Syu with testing enabled just before lunch. I just finished building a new one so I'll reboot with that and see how I go, probably should have not updated to testing until I tried the new kernel on current so I could pinpoint where problems were better sad Oh well.

EDIT: well that did the trick, all works fine now  :?

Re: 2.6.15-archck3: Community PKG + PKGBUILDs

Upgraded fifteen minutes ago to version 3.2-1.

Ran /sbin/lilo -v.  Fatal message-----

     Ran /sbin/lilo -v

    Received correct bootloader info display.

Solution to the error seems to be a re-install of the kernel.
******************************************************   edit....

Now, I desire to re-install kernel26-2.6.15-archck3.2-1 and check the result.

Will give it a go.....
================================================
EDIT 5:  Re-install of archck, edit lilo.conf, run /sbin/lilo -v and all is restored...reboot and am in archck 3.2-1 now.

Re: 2.6.15-archck3: Community PKG + PKGBUILDs

if I boot with the new made initramfs26.img I get a kernel panic.
I must use an older initrd-2.6.15-archck.img.
Why? ooh and no cd or dvd roms are available..

Re: 2.6.15-archck3: Community PKG + PKGBUILDs

I had the same problem. It was cause because my initramfs26.img was missing my filesystem module.

Try runing:

mkinitramfs auto --show

It will show you what modules it has loaded in to the image, so you can see if it's missing anything.

Re: 2.6.15-archck3: Community PKG + PKGBUILDs

well ..I guess its building it with ALL modules, cause I can see them all.
But still kernel panic.

Update:
I´ve build it with mkinitramfs full.
Now no more kernel panic and my cdroms are back.
Ok..Now I have even more modules loaded, that I don´t need, but it is at least working.
