Awaiting anxiously for the 2.6.27

Wait no more... here it is

BUILD 2.6.27-rc6: http://clientes.netvisao.pt/gtknight/ke … pkg.tar.gz
Now with ath5k compiled in-kernel, with at least WEP support (no WPA here to test).
The Kconfig is basically the one from 2.6.26, but I'm open to suggestions.

Enjoy

Re: Acer Aspire One

Sweet!

It's working nicely, but I do miss my wifi led . Apparently there is no way to enable it in .27, or atleast I couldn't find anything on sysctl referring to it....

I can confirm that ath5k works with WPA2. Keep up the good work!

You are fast... I just have no time to test it now.
Is madwifu-hal still included now that ath5k is working?
May I suggest again to compile snd-hda-intel as a module? See my remarks on sysctl above.

Re: Acer Aspire One

I have it installed! Many thanks for this nice work.
ath5k is working fine with WEP here, will try it tomorrow with WPA at work, but I am optimistic with that. Too bad ath0 is now wlan0, have to rename all netcfg profiles. But the HAL deamon can be removed, saving some more resources.

I still have to use initrd. I created a new with "mkinitcpio -k 2.6.27-one -g /boot/kernel-one.img", because I was not sure if the stock one for 2.6.26 would work.

It would be nice if I could get it working without initrd. Please tell me how you did that. If I comment out the initrd line in menu.lst, I get the kernel panic while booting.

Re: Acer Aspire One

I've tested just a bit and the kernel is still in Release Candidate so, use at you're own risk. No, the madwifi driver is no longer included as ath5k replaces it, at least in OPEN/WEP networks that I've tested so far.

I need to make another build with module usbserial driver for my Z020 modem, and I'll put the snd-hda-intel under module when doing it.

Re: Acer Aspire One

It is now working without initrd for me. I missed that:

Please don't use ID scheme in grub menu. Guess I missed a module for supporting that.

and still used the UUID. With root=/dev/sda1 it works fine.

EDIT: And ath5k is well working with WPA-EAP authentication for me. Also no problems with wireless after resuming from suspend. No need for /etc/pm/config.d/modules any more.

Next would be to test whether model=acer is still needed for the alsa module. Maybe later...

EDIT2: internal mic is working with model=acer, that is what I tested right now. Therefore no need to compile snd-hda-intel as a module.

Your sources look broken. I cannot find the patch to 2.6.27-rc6, where you linked it in the pkgbuild. You can also use the full version
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v … c6.tar.bz2
without the need to patch.

Humm... it's possible, I've pulled the files myself and run with them all the time.
I must admit that the time to make the PKGBUILD wasn't much

Re: Acer Aspire One

Gothicknight -Fist off I must say thanks for all of your hard work. your .27 kernel works perfectly on my Aspire and it is very fast. Might I make the suggestion that the next time you compile it, add ntfs support as a module and ntfs write support compiled in. It appears to have been left off.

Also, there is a new BIOS out for the One. It fixes several windows-specific issues as well as the overly loud fan.

It is also said to change the brightness settings, such that the darkest setting is then not as dark as before. May be not so good if you like long battery life. See here:

Re: Acer Aspire One

Hi, all.

If someone is interested, I've this little issue to enable the (internal/external)Mic without "options snd-hda-intel model=acer" inside /etc/modprobe.d/sound.

The problem (in my acer one) is in the left unplugged noisy channel (The internal MIC is joined to the right 82801G capture interface). The amplified noise from the left channel overlap the sound recorded from the right channel.

So...

I've disabled the boost and decreased to zero all the left capture volumes inside "/etc/asound.state":

name 'Front Mic Boost'
value.0 0
value.1 0

First Capture interface (Usually internal MIC "control.8"):

name 'Capture Volume'
value.0 0
value.1 25

Second Capture interface (Usually external MIC "control.10"):

name 'Capture Volume'
index 1
value.0 0
value.1 25

General Capture Volume (Usually "control.16"):

name 'Digital Capture Volume'
value.0 0
value.1 100

You can edit "/etc/asound.state" and launch "alsactl restore" or decrease the left input channels with alsamixer or graphically with gnome-alsamixer.

P.S.
My audio controller is:
"00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)"

NTFS-3G (which uses FUSE) is now preferred over the kernel-based driver, so I'm not sure compiling in NTFS support would be recommended.

Re: Acer Aspire One

how can i download the kernel, is possible to download with a non-archlinux os and trasfer it on my aspire one???
tnx!!

Go to you favourite mirror and download the kernelpackage. Then install locally with pacman -U.

For example:

Go to: ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/
Navigate to: testing/os/i686/
Download: kernel26-2.6.26-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz

Transfer the file to your Arch install and run: pacman -U kernel26-2.6.26-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz

Ok...

Been tried getting my AAO running for the last couple days

I've downloaded kernel26-one-2.6.27-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz

copy it to /tmp run the command pacman -U kernel26-2.6.26-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz

loading package data...
checking dependencies...
(1/1) checking for file conflicts                   [########################] 100%
(1/1) upgrading kernel26-one                    [########################] 100%

this is my road block

do I simply reboot and thats suppose to be that?

am I suppose to edit grub?

after a reboot

uname -r is showing

2.6.25-ARCH

any pointers or help would be much appreciated

thanks!

Re: Acer Aspire One

am I suppose to edit grub?

Yes.  'ls /boot' will show you vmlinuz-one, which is your new kernel image.  Here's my /boot/grub/menu.lst:

timeout 1
default 0
color light-blue/black light-cyan/blue

title Arch One
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-one root=/dev/sda1 ro snd-hda-intel.model=acer

I have the old kernel there as a fallback, too, but that's the relevant line.  Upgrades to the One kernel use the same image name, so no further edits are necessary.

Thank you! that worked

what modules do I want to load in my rc.conf?

I tried the wiki example @ http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Acer_Aspire_One

MODULES=(!ath5k !memstick r8169 ath_pci acpi_cpufreq)

but I'm getting missing module errors when I boot up

r8169

ath_pci

acpi_cpufreq

another thing I noticed is sometimes I can grab and IP when the network is loading and sometimes it fails and gives me a 169.254.x.x ip

Re: Acer Aspire One

With GothicKnight's new kernel my module line looks like this:
MODULES=(!memstick)

And I don't think that is even necessary now. You don't need anything there because everything is compiled in-kernel. The errors are appearing because the modules do not exist. About wireless issues, has anyone noticed your connection dieing and being unable to restart it? Periodically my connection will drop off and I will be unable to reconnect, CPU usage spikes to 100% while the kernel is trying to re-initialize it. I have to completely shut off the machine and then turn it back on to get it to work again. DMESG spits out some errors about being unable to calibrate a noise floor and being unable to wake the MAC. If it happens again I will be sure to post the DMESG output.

Edit: It happened again. I am wondering if this is a problem with the compiled in kernel driver since it is under development, or do I have a faulty WLAN card.....

Re: Acer Aspire One

With GothicKnight's new kernel my module line looks like this:
MODULES=(!memstick)

And I don't think that is even necessary now. You don't need anything there because everything is compiled in-kernel. The errors are appearing because the modules do not exist.

You don't, module is disabled

About wireless issues, has anyone noticed your connection dieing and being unable to restart it? Periodically my connection will drop off and I will be unable to reconnect, CPU usage spikes to 100% while the kernel is trying to re-initialize it. I have to completely shut off the machine and then turn it back on to get it to work again. DMESG spits out some errors about being unable to calibrate a noise floor and being unable to wake the MAC. If it happens again I will be sure to post the DMESG output.

I did see this happening but thought it was a AP error, the AP I was testing with is known to be faulty. The error wasn't so big as your's but the timeout AP connections did appear.

The driver is indeed under development and above that, we're testing a RC6 kernel, let's wait and see... for now I'm also using my stable 2.6.26.5 build.

Re: Acer Aspire One

gothicknight, could you please enable CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT and CONFIG_TIMER_STATS for the next kernel
first one enables powertop to monitor p-states(frequencies) and second for powertop to get accurate statistics. Could you also concider applying [linux-PHC][https://www.dedigentoo.org/trac/linux-p … stVoltages] patch to allow undervolting to lower the cpu temperature

Also, could you make the sources available too, please?

Thanks

Re: Acer Aspire One

I recently encountered networking issues, which I posted over here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=55523.
Has one of you encountered something similar?

CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT is for powertop to keep tracking of the CPU freq stats previous to its start, there's no real need for it, as the same thing is achieved keeping the powertop running for a bit.
CONFIG_TIMER_STATS is a tricky one, If you read the this thread, CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL which is needed for the timer statistics is giving kernel panics that until solved cannot be enabled
Regarding undervoltage patching... Is it really stable and safe to be applied? I would like to keep the kernel as vanilla as possible, but if it is indeed a nice achievement I can take a look at it.

What sources are you talking about? The PKGBUILD as the Kconfig is online for everyone to see

Re: Acer Aspire One

oh I'm sorry, it seems it installs the sources with the kernel, I wasn't aware of this. thanks a lot!

I hear the undervolting is safe/stable if you don't undervolt too much, it's explained in the link I provided.
