You don't need my files... I think I know where's your problem.

You have to change your patition ID by its name in fstab. Finit-arc can't take partition ID.

By example:

# 
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>
none                   /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0
none                   /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0


#UUID=149015c7-3b81-4a34-9a4d-89bd12c38c15 swap swap defaults 0 0
#UUID=62be0a3b-5efd-448d-8145-fdf2bd2aab62 / ext4 defaults 0 1
#UUID=ac9ee2d6-4889-4dbd-8b95-dd80daac769d /home ext4 defaults 0 1
#UUID=f023c746-3876-47c6-bdee-2181bec71961 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda3 / ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda4 /home ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1

Don't take mine, cause it may not be the same for you. Type fdisk -l to be sure.

I have already modified both my fstab and menu.lst to not use an uuid...:)

Well, I would like to share my config files with you, but I just can't find them! Probably that I've deleted all of them when I unistalled finit-arc package.

I can't for the life of me get the internal mic to work. What settings do I need to enable to have the mic work? Sound in general is fine. I'm using the stock kernel and have enabled the hda-intel driver as per the wiki.

I'm really happy to have my USB modem working and the sleep hotkey works too. Now I'm truly mobile.

Have you checked your mic using skype? I tested the mic using skype and it worked fine..:) What modem are you using? I have a usb modem as well but I didn't use it on my arch since it still has a zero-cd which needs a usb-switch...:(

update: Hey guyz, just tried the quick-init by adriano on my AA1 and it worked well compared to finit-arc and the second method both on tera's kernel and stock with kms enabled or disabled. quick-init is in the AUR. It booted faster compared to the default...:)

I just tried with skype and could hear nothing after trying a test call. What settings are correct under ALSA? For recordeing I see 'Capture' and 'Digital'. They seem to mute themselves whenever I try to unmute them.

My modem is a Huawei, the same as the one in this guide.

I'm having problems with stock 2.6.29. When it boots /dev/sda1 is never seen and it boots into ramdisk only.
I have tera's kernel working with fastboot, although I'd really like autofs as a module.
Also it seems I've started having problems with 'x' not responding after a resume.
I can ctrl+alt+f1 to a console but going back to 'x' is just a black screen. This just started recently.

k...problem 1 seems hal,dbus,wicd aren't resuming properly anymore. And just now 'x' froze again, restart of dbus & hal unfroze.

Have you adjusted the volume controls via alsamixer? Perhaps you could try and see if the mic is not muted..

Haven't tried running my usb modem on my arch also...Mine's a WM66..:)

Has anyone tried GMABooster http://www.gmabooster.com/ on their AA1? I'm using it now..:D

Just try skype-oss package... It works for me.

Grrr...seems my X11 lockup problems were from using "UXA" acceleration instead of "EXA". This didn't bite me until recent upgrades.

Booting stock 2.6.29 my internal SSD isn't recognized.

I had suffer the same problem upon using kms which by default uses "UXA". I didn't used it anymore and the performance was far better. I'm only using a minimal xorg.conf..:)

update: I would just like to thank kTT for sharing his 11-x11-synaptics.fdi which worked great on my AA1 including the two finger scrolling...:D TYVM

Seems also now with teras kernel my wireless no longer resumes anymore.
Is this something to do with ath5k being built into the kernel?

Man I wish I could just revert to 2.6.28 stock. When 29 went live everything went to hell.

I haven't experienced such both on tera's and the latest kernel which I'm currently using now...There was a hack on the AA1 wiki with regards to the resume of your network after suspend, you might consider checking it out...:)

The only thing is, when I play sounds (using aplay), I don't hear anything from the front speakers. I do hear sound when I plug in my headphones. I've checked alsamixer, but I didn't see a channel for the front speakers. Is there a way to unmute them?

(** more precisely, this was my first Linux install ever)
See this page
I've tried that, but no success unfortunately:
* The two amixer commands work.
* alsamixer works
* aplay works, but I can only hear the sound on my headphones when I plug them in. When nothing's plugged in, no sound is played on the speakers.
* alsaconf does not do anything (cannot find PnP or PCI card).

I am having this problem as well, has anyone solved this?

I had the pm "hack" enabled and the wireless never resumed (hack assumes ath5k is a module). Commented that out and first time i tested it resumed. Second time..no network again.

Anyone have a 110L working with stock 2.6.29 ?

kaola_linux · 2009-04-24 06:27:59

@bnolsen: do you use pm-utils to suspend?:)

This is my /etc/pm/config.d/modules:

SUSPEND_MODULES="ath5k"

I am using an AA1 110L with the latest stock kernel..:)

phabulosa · 2009-04-26 04:58:37

Have any of you guys make KMS working on AAO?

Can you tell me how you did it?

which kernel? which verison of xorg-server? which verison of xf86-video-intel .......
What is your xorg.conf?

thanks!

Here's what I've followed which doesn't mess things up if you'll have problems :
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 65#p522665

You don't need a xorg.conf to get it to work...The latest xorg-server works well detecting your hardware..:)

Have you tried to use kernel26-one-dev for KMS. Stuff like drm, i915 was built staticly in the kernel. Will KMS work with that kernel?

kaola_linux · 2009-04-26 06:32:14

@phabulosa: Yup, I tried it also on tera's kernel...I still don't use kms since I get some hangs on my AA1 both on stock and custom..Try it, and post your experience here..:)

I use KMS with the stock kernel. Might try it with teras later.

kTT · 2009-04-26 20:09:48

it works with tera's kernel, just add i915.modeset=1 to your kernel line in grub

Yes, KMS works! I studied Tera's kernel26-one-dev config and I figured out my problem was that I compiled both intelfb and vesafb into the kernel. It causes conflicts.

I also added tuxonice and fbcondecor patch. Suspend to disk seems to work, too.

Please see my updated kernel26-oneice AUR

phabulosa · 2009-04-27 23:59:33

KMS on AAO used to have a problem which is the color-depth of my X is reduced.

this patch resolved the problem. See
http://wiki.msiwind.net/index.php/KMS#Patch

Yes using pm-utils.
for teras kernel i had to comment out that line above.

Stock kernel doesn't detect the SSD on boot. No /dev/sda means nogo!
