Hi
I have been running arch linux on my C3 Nehemiah ML8000G for about a year now
since I upgraded to 2.6.24 it fails to boot complaining from what I see to be illegal instructions
has the build config for 2.6.24 changed since the 2.6.23 series or is it just that the 2.6.24 kernel is to blame it self?

forget about it
I just recompiled the kernel with C3-2 (Nehemiah) as the the proccessor class
any one that wants the modified kernel just ask and I'll post the link to it

I have just run into this as well.
I have have a Nehemiah-based machine for my server and was running 2.6.23-ARCH (whatever that is...), seems there has been a couple of kernel bumps in the .6.24 line and in true ARCH fashion decided to remove the /lib/modules/kernel-2.6.23-ARCH and put a kernel-2.6.24-ARCH folder in its place.
Since I needed to modprobe the usb-storage drivers (planning on putting arch on my eeepc) I couldn't because the modules folder for 2.6.23-ARCH had been removed in 2 kernel bumps... so a reboot to use the 2.6.24 resulted in oops
So now system wont boot cause default kernel is 2.6.24-ARCH and the fallback is 2.6.24-ARCH (mmm like good names, don't know what sub-version the kernel is)
s long story short, how do I get my machine booting again?

grab the arch linux installer cd and use the arch root=/dev/sd* bootoption to boot into the system
and then either grab the ABS tree and recompile the kernel or grab my kernel build here
http://www.qbstudios.net/archstuff/kern … pkg.tar.gz
and then install with pacman -U kernel26-2.6.24.1-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz
this will replace the kernel with my nehemiah specific kernel
I will see if I can setup a repository for this at some point

yer I booted off the installCD and pacman -U the 2.6.22 kernel
I am using that atm.
I did concider rolling my own but this is an underclocked machine (to go fanless). I do have an archlinux install in a virtualbox session on my Gentoo desktop so I may use that to build my own
but if yr kernel is good i will grab that

mmm interesting from upstream what they did
why did they do that with the i686 and C3?
I know the 2.6.24 had a load of arch changes (adn 2.6.25 has as well) but was it soo much that a generic i686 breaks C3 support?

@daedulus:
I have just encountered the same problem with my Via C3 based laptop, and also read your bug report FS#9565.
Is your modified kernel still available to download from anywhere? (The link above doesn't seem to work.)
Thanks.

it should be up
had some hiccups I host it from home

@daedulus:
Thanks, I managed to get it a bit earlier.
Will try it out this afternoon on the laptop.
Added later: Installed and upgraded other packages, and everything seems fine!
Many thanks for providing this kernel.

I will try to set up a repository for a rebuilt up to date kernel until either the kernel issue is fixed or well I die
