2.6.27-rc4 .config

Can I have the arch kernel 2.6.27-rc4 .config file?

Kernel developers told me to test 2.6.27 in order to see if a bug I posted is now fixed. So I downloaded the source and I ran make oldconfig with arch 2.6.26 .config. However I'm having trouble with ACPI and when I disable it using acpi=off I have kernel panic because it cannot mount the root partition.

Thank you

Re: 2.6.27-rc4 .config

Did you actually check the config you are using now?

Just make sure your FS and HD controller(s) drivers are compiled...

Re: 2.6.27-rc4 .config

The strange thing is that default arch kernel has ext 2 and 3 FS as modules (so does 2.6.27-rc4), but it works! Does it has something to do with initrd?

Not just something, if initrd doesn't load the filesystem modules that would explain the errors youre getting.

Re: 2.6.27-rc4 .config

How do I generate an initrd image in order to make 2.6.27-rc4 like default kernel and possible solve the boot problem?

Re: 2.6.27-rc4 .config

mkinitcpio -k 2.6.27-rc4-ARCH -g /boot/linux-2.6.27-rc4.img

I found it at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ker … rom_Source

I'm going to boot. Crossing finger smile

Re: 2.6.27-rc4 .config

Have you tried compiling the kernel your self?

With the qt kernel configuration there is an opition to search through the tree for modules, etc... If you look up your current modules with lsmod and find them in the config and compile them in you should be good.

BTW what machine / mobo do you have? I'm having issues with a Dell Vostro 1000 on kernel's 2.6.26.* however I don't get any type of root filesystem error.

Re: 2.6.27-rc4 .config

Re: 2.6.27-rc4 .config

Try adding nolapic_timer to your boot options. This fixed my issue of 2.6.26 freezing up on me.
