Why would mkinitcpio result in loading the r8168 module for linux and but not linux-ck-k10?

BTW: This morning (2017-12-06) it again failed to load r8168 for upgrading linux-ck-k10 (4.14.3-1 -> 4.14.4-1).

When linux-ck-k10 (4.14.2-2 -> 4.14.3-1) on 2017-12-01 r8168 was loaded.

Then on 2017-12-03  r8168 was upgraded (8.045.08-5 -> 8.045.08-10) and there was a mkinitcpio run for linux, but there was for not one for linux-ck-k10, and the internet connection was lost.

Subsequently I ran mkinitcpio run for linux-ck-k10 4.14.4-1. and r8168 was not loaded.

Now we have today's (2017-12-06) run for upgrading linux-ck-k10 (4.14.3-1 -> 4.14.4-1) and r8168 module again not loaded.

I would like to understand what is going on, please.

Modules are kernel specific an mkinitcpio building a kernel for the for linux package would only find modules for the linux kernel not linux-ck
Even if mkinitcpio included the module it would not be loaded.

modprobe -v foobar
modprobe: FATAL: Module foobar not found in directory /lib/modules/4.14.4-1-ARCH

It does not search /lib/modules/4.14.4-1-ck.  There is a symlink from /lib/modules/4.14.4-1-ARCH to extramodules-4.14-ARCH which is where the package r8168 places its kernel module.
Even if modprobe did attempt to load the module r8168 built for linux into linux-ck it would detect the "version magic" is not the same and refuse to load it.

Got it & thanks... .. .

/lib/modules/extramodules-4.14-ck-k10/ does not contain a 'r8168.ko.gz' linked from /lib/modules/4.14.4-1-ck-k10,
and /lib/modules/4.14.3-1-ARCH/ does.

But why has this mainboard NIC worked for a very long time apparently using the r8168 module with the linux-ck kernel and abruptly stop? ...after r8168 was upgraded (8.045.08-5 -> 8.045.08-10)

[SOLVED] In any case I have removed the blacklist for the r8169 module, and now both linux and linux-ck-k10 kernels boot successfully using r8169.

Hopefully the problems that were occurring in earlier kernels and r8169 module with the Realtek NICs will now not occur.

loqs: thanks for your patience and assistance.

Have a look in the journal from those older boots under linux-ck and check if the module r8168 was loaded.

Re: unofficial linux-ck repo with cpu optimized packages is ONLINE

Is anyone experiencing a network hang when using this kernel? With linux-ck-core2 and an Nvidia MCP51 ethernet controller the cabled network works fine just after boot, then after some minutes it hangs. I cannot connect to web sites nor to local network machines like my router. Restarting the network service does not help, only a reboot fixes the problem but just for some minutes. Other devices connected to the same router (e.g. android phones) do not experience any problem. The issue is not present with the stock arch kernel. Any hint or suggestion? Thanks.

Re: unofficial linux-ck repo with cpu optimized packages is ONLINE

i had this very same r8169 problem  to make matters worse i have a gigabyte mobo i have to run amd_iommu=on iommu=pt for my usb3.0 to work and for my network to work without crashing as well.  i seem to remember there being 2 versions of r8169 or perhaps it was r8168 when i first encountered this several years ago, anyway they both had same name but one crashed every 20 minutes

to above poster:  do you have a gigabyte motherboard? mine is ga-970a-d3p, you may need the iommu solution

the linux-ck-bulldozer modesetting flag to enalbe hdmi audio amdgpu.dc=1 gives me the following error:

@pr0dukter: I have an Asus P5N-E SLI motherboard, not a Gigabyte. I'll try the iommu workaround as soon as I can (the pc is my parent's one, not mine), thanks for the hint.

I don't know. I suppose both kernels use the same in-tree driver since I installed no out-of-tree driver. How can I check it? I won't have access to the machine for the next 10 days or so, so I will check as soon as I can.

Re: unofficial linux-ck repo with cpu optimized packages is ONLINE

The last I saw of this was back in 2012, but it just occured to me that it might be worth asking again. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 3#p1097443

Is there a chance that delta updates could be used for Repo-ck in the future?

Re: unofficial linux-ck repo with cpu optimized packages is ONLINE

Looks like there's a pkgver mismatch for nvidia-340xx-ck packages on AUR (340.104.4.10) and repo-ck (340.104.9), causing pacman to throw a warning when one builds from AUR. Just a FYI.

Did you  research https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … ug/1734147 / https://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/SPI_ … TFORM.html?

@pr0dukter you want CK to release a 4.14 linux-ck+the AMD DC changeset backported to 4.14?  You can test the 4.15-rc's for bugs that would help for when 4.15 is released.
