Re: kernel26nitro 2.6.9-nitro1

the only thing i can't do (and i'm not 100% sure it's a nitro issue) is view a changelog from kernel.org in firefox. it pretty much makes my system useless and i have to kill firefox. i can download the changelog and view it in a text editor just fine, though. strange.

Re: kernel26nitro 2.6.9-nitro1

This is from memory, so don't actually trust me :twisted:.  I also have a SATA drive that is designated by GRUB as hd0

menu.lst entry:

root (hd0)
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz26-nitro root=/dev/sda3 ro devfs=nomount

change everything in fstab from /dev/discs/discX/partX to corresponding /dev/XdXX

Before you do this, go here:

Re: kernel26nitro 2.6.9-nitro1

i had same issue, so i just set the vga settings i wanted into the framebuffer settings in the kernel  (1024x768@60) and removed the "vga=xxx" from the grub bootline.

Re: kernel26nitro 2.6.9-nitro1

nitro2 has hit http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=1696065
http://www.sepi.be/nitro.php

i guess  just changing the pkgbuild to point to nitro2 patches will work?

Re: kernel26nitro 2.6.9-nitro1

hi, i notice that after i installed makepkg nitro2, and xfce4beta2, the ctrl+alt+fX command doesn't work anymore after i startxfce4. 

If I dunt start X, i can ctrl+alt+fX fine, but not afterwards.  Also I tried 2 compile nitro3 thru using the same PKGBUILD but changed the version number, and everything seems fine except when I choose the option of menuconfig, afterwards I cannot move once i get into the config. 

When i press the arrow keys down or up, it already prompt me to save the config and starts to compile the kernel.  This is very strange.

Thanks.
dammit

Re: kernel26nitro 2.6.9-nitro1

I compiled the nitro2 PKGBUILD successfully and have recently tried to upgrade to the nitro3 kernel by changing the package release number to 3.
However, it failed during the build with:

drivers/media/video/msp3400.c:1555:55: macro "kthread_run" requires 5 arguments, but only 3 given
drivers/media/video/msp3400.c: In function `msp_attach':
drivers/media/video/msp3400.c:1555: error: `kthread_run' undeclared (first use in this function)
drivers/media/video/msp3400.c:1555: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
drivers/media/video/msp3400.c:1555: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[3]: *** [drivers/media/video/msp3400.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [drivers/media/video] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/media] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2
==> ERROR: Build Failed.  Aborting...

The Gentoo forums indicate an error in the source but I'm unsure how to proceed.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Re: kernel26nitro 2.6.9-nitro1

I too am also having problem with compiling the new nitro3, this is the error message that i get.

  INSTALL sound/pci/snd-cmipci.ko
  INSTALL sound/pci/snd-es1938.ko
  INSTALL sound/pci/snd-es1968.ko
  INSTALL sound/soundcore.ko
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map -b /var/abs/local/kernel26/pkg -r 2.6.9-nitro3-ARCH; fi
./PKGBUILD: line 134: cd: /var/abs/local/kernel26/pkg/lib/modules/2.6.9-nitro3: No such file or directory
==> ERROR: Build Failed.  Aborting...

and for some strange reason, the menuconfig option doesn't work, and i can only configure the kernel thru xconfig.
