[solved] Requesting kernel26-2.6.27-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz

ConnorBehan · 2009-01-07 23:14:06

I noticed that the kernel I was using last month (2.6.27-2) allocated PCI resources in such a way that my PCI graphics card in the Thinkpad Dock II was detected. I was excited about using it but had to wait a month for my external monitor to arrive. Now that it's arrived I realize that I am once again stuck because I updated the kernel a few times during that month. I should have been more careful and backed everything up before I updated. So before I resort to recompiling 2.6.27-2 could someone please check if they have kernel26-2.6.27-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz in their cache? If someone with a copy of it could send me that file somehow I would be very grateful. Thank-you!

(Of course kernels close to this version would be appreciated as well. The one that doesn't work is 2.6.27.8-1)

Looks like you can find a copy here - http://archlinux.cbn.net.id/core/os/i686/

Grabbed a copy from there - thanks alot. It actually fails to allocate PCI resources just like my current kernel even though I swear it worked before. Some other package that got upgraded might be to blame but I'd have a hell of a time finding out which. There must be a better solution... to the LKML I go!

This is working again even with the new kernel. I rolled back kernel26, device-mapper, klibc, mkinitcpio, kernel-headers, pciutils and some other stuff. Then once it worked I updated one at a time instead of all at once and now it still works. *phew*

I guess we learnt a lesson - never throw out your pacman cache too hastily .

Does this case indicates a bug in pacman or maybe in some of the mentioned packages? I think it should not mather whether you upgrade packages one by one or all at once.
