Re: kernel26mm 2.6.8.1.mmX

thanks
i built my own kernel now that fixes my problems
perhaps it appears in my tur repo if there is a need for it
it includes the latest acpi patches from http://acpi.sourceforge.net
your nice logo and the audio and burner fixes :-)

Re: kernel26mm 2.6.8.1.mmX

SiI3112 uses CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIL=y and this is enabled in kernel26 and kernel26mm - so you should get it working

however, i'm not an expert - maybe someone else has more infos

where i searched:
http://www.linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html

The fix for this problem is the same for the stock kernel, so if you use the config from the next stock kernel, everything should work for us SATA users

changes i did for mm4:

420c419
< CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=y
---
> CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=m
422c421
< CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG=y
---
> CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG=m

this should enable SATA/firewire hdd/cd's who need scsi=y to work

mm4 is uploading and should be available soon - solving the SATA problem

would be nice to get feedback, if it definitely solves the trouble

2.6.8.1.mm4 is out - solving SATA trouble (hopefully)

Re: kernel26mm 2.6.8.1.mmX

I wonder if it will fix the nvidia problem too....

But, I'm just happy that this patch kernel is a package now.   It's great for multitrack recording

for nvidia to compile against >mm3, you must make a small change to nv.c:

Edit nv.c, replace the line

case PM_SAVE_STATE:

with

case PM_SUSPEND:

kernel26mm-2.6.8.1.mm4 is missing module sd_mod.

Re: kernel26mm 2.6.8.1.mmX

sd_mod do not exist, becaues it is compiled in (to support SATA hdd and other devices connected over firewire or sata to use scsi)

Re: kernel26mm 2.6.8.1.mmX

I had used sd_mod as a module before and then just took it out of rc.conf for the new kernel (assuming dp's reply) and my usb flash still works.  It must be something else.

Re: kernel26mm 2.6.8.1.mmX

i have no sata, so i cannot test myself

scsi-disk is now in the kernel (what needs to be, to sata to work at boot), so sata should work now

did you switched /dev/hdX to /dev/sdX?

you use usb-storage for it? maybe it changed the position, if other scsi-things are found (/dev/sdX -> /dev/sdX+1)

or maybe something else broke with the new scheduler

this is the normal way to go - actually you can leave the module in rc.conf and then at boot keep kernel26 compatible (kernel26mm will simply give a warning, that module is already in kernel or do not exist)

Err...nope? I copied 2.6.3-scsi from boot cd and that finds my disk as hde nicely. Similar boot with mm4 results in kernel panic. Forgive me bugging you about this as I can see you've been busy answering these same problems before.

Well I use SATA and it works for me, although I haven't compiled it myself, just pacman'ed the pkg. Can you see/remember the kernel panic message?

Can't remember the exact msg but it's one of those 'can't mount root fs' messages. Just tried your approach with pacman -S kernel2.6.8.1-mm4. No go. The disk is not found so root cant be mounted, thus the panic.

Boots with AL install cd kernel 2.6.3 with the same parameters however.  I somehow suspect the problem to be in my settings somewhere and not in the kernel. Has there been some big change between 2.6.3 and the latest kernel that would require me to change some configurations?

Re: kernel26mm 2.6.8.1.mmX

the big change is, that all SATA things are now not longer under /dev/hdX but under /dev/sdX (not ide, but scsi subsystem)

So, do I need to change my grub settings from root=/dev/disks/discX/partX to root=/dev/sdX to get it working?

yes, but i would not "change", but add another additional entry (keep kernel26-scsi 2.6.3 working and just add a new one for kernel26mm - this way, you can try out, and if you cannot boot with the settings choosen for mm, you can still boot kernel26 and modify/change settings)

Thank you. I will try that then.
