Would you like to try with kernel26-one-dev and verify the problem does not happen with it? I just released few hours ago a new version which is based on the stable release. I will post the announcement next.
downloading the source form kernel.org right now, could take some time, i get about 10kb/s from the server but will report back than

tried your kernel, with nopat option i don't get any errors at all, so i guess its stock kernel related

@Tera: I've just compiled the latest version of your kernel; suspending and hibernating doesn't work on my system anymore. I've tried it both on kdemod and xfce4. I've downgraded to an older version of your kernel and things went ok afterwards. Does it applies to you as well?

Works perfectly here. I'm pushing out a new kernel release a bit later. I'm currently having little difficulties with a patch I'm going to add to the next release as it's for older release and doesn't apply cleanly on it's current form. Working to solve the issue.

Suspend doesn't work here either, reverted to rc8 & it's fine.

I'll just have to wait for your upgrade then, I will be using the second to latest version atm..:) Goodluck

Hi there, if you are interested, i have also a problem

I have installed Arch on my Acer 150x (which runs normally on Windows how you might know). Now i have 2 systems and i can boot Arch perfectly. But when i try to boot windows, the eRecovery program (it has an own partition) for windows starts and it says i have to reformat my windows partition.

At first i thought that something went wrong at the installation (although i could mount my windows data in linux), so i reformated the partition and i did a reboot. But the eRecovery is still there when i choose to boot windows!

Now i want to know, if it is possible or if anyone knows how to skip this eRecovery or just delete it (if possible not to delete the partition ). Maybe i must change something in the GRUB boot menu? I hope you can help me, thx!

PS: Sry for bad english, i hope you can understand me!

sounds like you have the wrong partition stated in /boot/grub/menu.lst, maybe a "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" tells you more about what partition is the correct one, or post it so we can help you

hi, this comes when i type it in console (i have it in german language):
Gerät boot. Anfang Ende Blöcke Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 764 6136798+ 12 Compaq Diagnostics
/dev/sda2 765 7592 54845910 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3 7593 14350 54283635 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 14351 14593 1951897+ 82 Linux Swap / Solaris

and i have this in grub menu.lst for windows:
# (2) Windows
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

I believe that sda2 is the windows partition and sda1 is eRecovery (i hope eRecovery has an extra partition, im not sure).

ichbinesderelch · 2009-03-29 13:45:01

yeps, i tihink so too, as grub starts counting from zero the entry in rootnoverify should be (hd0,1), than it hopefully boots up windows

Thank you so much, now it functions! maybe you can help me with another problem too
i want to enable the wlan and i found http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ace … ne#Network this how to do it. and there i stuck:

This is done by creating a new file under /etc/pm/config.d/ named modules with:

i have no directory named .../pm/config.d/ . how do i get this? and is config.d a file or a directory? also i would like to know if this manual is tested and functions
and do i need some special files for this to download or is everything already installed at the installation?

ichbinesderelch · 2009-03-29 14:30:38

wlan works out of the box for me with the new kernel and module ath5k, so there is really no need to do anything, just check if ath5k is loaded, "ifconfig" if the device is up, and for configuring the other wireless stuff take "iwconfig" and "iwlist"

Edit: ah got it, the line in wiki states that the module is added to the pm-config list(so the module will be reloaded on resume), which is to hibernate/suspend/etc, this comes with pm-utils packages, that are in the repo, should also create those files and directories etc

Triver · 2009-03-29 14:33:50

and how can i check if ath5k is loaded? and i guess the device should be wlan0 or?
when i type ifconfig, it only shows eth0 and lo, nothing more

also the orange light is not blinking when i restart or boot.

ichbinesderelch · 2009-03-29 14:45:00

the device is wlan0, you can see all modules that are loaded by "lsmod" command, i guess you have to bring the device upw ith "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up", by "ifconfig -a" you see all available devices, the orange light requires a kernel patch, there is one in AUR, but i think you will be fine right now to go with the stock kernel.

Triver · 2009-03-29 15:03:57

so the adapter should run when i type "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up"? but nothing is changing, sure there appears now a wlan0 in ifconfig but it is still not active.
and i cant download anything until the wlan is running, because i am connecting via wlan to the router.

ichbinesderelch · 2009-03-29 15:58:32

maybe take a look at wicd or wifiradar, or if you are using gnome, gnome-network manager to configure your wifi. would recommend you wicd though, but try them out all!

Triver · 2009-03-29 16:10:26

well the problem is, i have no graphical interface yet because i have to enable the wlan on the acer for internet.
i am writing this from another pc and i have no idea how to install a desktop manager or window manager with offline sources... (and i guess that you need a graphical interface for wicd or wifiradar? (also i dont know how to install any package that comes from another source than the internet (with pacman)).
so that means that i need to know a way to get the wlan activated just with the data from the pure installation...hope that is possible

ichbinesderelch · 2009-03-29 16:17:14

maybe come on the irc channel for that problem, its easier to discuss it there + der a more ppl who will help you immediatly!

Triver · 2009-03-29 16:21:12

sorry if that is a stupid question, but where can i enter the irc channel?

ichbinesderelch · 2009-03-29 16:31:25

you need some irc client, connect to irc.freenode.net and join channel archlinux!

Testing out different distros on my AAO at the moment will get Arch when I have more time

Everything seems to work out of the box, mine has 100gb HD and 1gb of ram

Atm Crunchbang is running Ubuntu Netbook Remix from USB stick but intereface stinks after a while

really surprised that something so small does so much

Ok fan is a bit noisy but hey just turn up the speakers lol

It's amazing, isn't it? I keep reading all this stuff about how netbooks are only useful for browsing (but that doesn't matter because of the "cloud") and I can't help thinking it's a load of hooey. In some ways, being newer, the AAO is more capable than my creaky old desktop machine.

Ok fan is a bit noisy but hey just turn up the speakers lol

'S funny, everyone says that, but I find mine pretty quiet. Maybe it's because my desktop sounds like a plane taking off.

Mr Green · 2009-03-30 19:13:10

The AAO does the same as my bigger Acer 5315 and lets be honest you could easily hook up a usb keyboard a tft a mouse so it could replace your desktop altogether

The fan thing well I was joking got acerfand working had loaded old version that did not work with my bios, AAO was turning into a griddle lol

Very happy with my little netbook

I was reviewing the Wiki and noticed this statement at the bottom in the "Games" section.

glxgears # should say something between 750 and 1000 fps
(I know, glxgears is no benchmark, but as we all have the same hardware and most probably the same drivers it can be used as a point of reference).

Is any one really getting that kind of reading with glxgears? If so, please help me, because I top out at about 360fps.

Here are the important parts of my xorg.conf.

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "AutoAddDevices"      "False"
    Option "AllowMouseOpenFail"  "True"
EndSection

Section "Module"
    Load  "synaptics"
#    Load  "glx"
#    Load  "extmod"
#    Load  "dbe"
#    Load  "xtrap"
#    Load  "dri"
#    Load  "freetype"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier   "Monitor0"
#    Modeline     "1024x600_60.00" 48.96 1024 1064 1168 1312 600 601 604 622 -HSync +Vsync
#    DisplaySize  346 203
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Card0"
    Driver      "intel"
    BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
#    VideoRam    229376
#    Option      "CacheLines"             "1980"
    Option      "AccelMethod"            "EXA"
    Option      "MigrationHeuristic"     "greedy"
EndSection

I also have the "export INTEL_BATCH=1" line in /etc/profile. I am using standard, stable packages with the stock kernel. (I am currently not using anything from the testing repo)
