2.6.28.9-ice in AUR, what is that ?

The latest version of a working kernel...

Read lkml:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/24/215

I had the same problem on my box and it was absolutely unusable.

So men, be patient.

iceman81 · 2009-04-03 12:05:45

Added package to 2.6.29.1

Enjoy the release

.29 is not working well for me, i can't get a wireless-N connection with Intel 5100 (G works ok) and screen writes with my ati 3650 (radeonhd) are very slow (about 50% slower than with the last .28)

(edit: i mean 29.1 obviously)

Have you checked if you have the same problem with the vanilla kernel ?

Hmm no.. I'll try to rebuild your package without the extra patches and custom config.

litemotiv · 2009-04-03 17:31:59

I just gave it a go, ended up with a kernel panic. It guess it's a bit too much work for quick debugging since there's a lot of configuring to be done. Using the kernel-ice config on the other hand wouldn't really be useful as that would basically give me the original package, only without the patches (which are not likely the cause of my problems).

I've switched back to stock-arch for now, will await if any other reports are flowing in..

litemotiv · 2009-04-04 10:27:16

update: ati display perfomance was more or less restored by using:

aur/drm-radeon-module-git-r6xx-r7xx 20090329-1
    radeon and drm module for xf86-video-radeonhd-git-r6xx-r7xx

aur/xf86-video-radeonhd-git-r6xx-r7xx 20090307-1
    Driver for AMD GPG r6xx/r7xx Chipsets - r6xx-r7xx branch

(gained me working xvideo as a side effect so i shan't complain)

now i need to find a way to get draft-n working again.

litemotiv · 2009-04-04 13:04:29

another update:

the draft-n problem with intel wireless (iwlagn) seems to be caused by this:

iwl4965 driver not working with WMM enabled and AES encryption

disabling wmm on the router and manually issuing dhclient works around this (for now).

hope this helps anyone else running into problems.

Since Tuxonice 3.0.1 LZO is now the default compression mechanism instead of LZF. I've updated the wiki to reflect this, here's the new instructions for reference:

Add lzo to initramfs modules in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf (example):

MODULES="lzo"
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata resume filesystems"

Change the compression method in /etc/hibernate/suspend2.conf (example):

### suspend2 (for Software Suspend 2)
UseSuspend2 yes
Reboot no
EnableEscape yes
DefaultConsoleLevel 1
Compressor lzo
Encryptor none

Regenerate initramfs:

mkinitcpio -p kernel26-ice

good work.

Added realtime patch to pkgbuild.

Some testing needed... ;-)

litemotiv · 2009-04-14 14:48:14

i decided to make some extra effort and created a dedicated wiki page for tuxonice:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tuxonice

the suspend_to_disk page which used to harbour tuxonice was somewhat dense and illogical, it also lacked information about suspending to file. the new page will be shown directly when someone enters tuxonice in the search box.

the old page is updated to reflect the changes, let me know if you come across any inconsistencies or missing information.

iceman81 · 2009-04-24 09:57:20

Change realtime patch to rt8

litemotiv · 2009-05-02 17:22:26

The package fails atm:

I don't really like keeping track of two threads plus an AUR-page for 1 single package, i'll just post any build errors here.

Hi, CONFIG_BT_HCIBTUSB is not set in config.x86_64 but IS set in config. Is needed for bluetooth on my laptop (and, I believe, in most laptops as well). Please change config.x86_64 to reflect that. CONFIG_BT_HCIBTUSB is (obviously) set for standard kernel26-ARCH, both config and config.x86_64.

Please provide a -ARCH compliant x86_64 config file for -ice kernel. i don't have any 64bit machine at the moment

ngoonee · 2009-05-05 01:16:28

Am unsure how to do that, sorry. My thinking is that I could use ABS to get the PKGBUILD (including default config) from the Arch servers themselves, but wouldn't that need to be modified to be ice/rt specific? I mainly use gconfig myself, so get a bit overwhelmed with the raw config file, frankly.

Please advise, and I'll get right on it.

Liuuutas · 2009-05-05 11:11:05

Hi there, I don't know actually whether my problem is relevant to all kernels or just ICE kernel, but I am unable to resume after second suspend. Using newest pm-utils and newest kernel26-ice. However if I downgrade to the stock kernel 2.26.28 everything goes fine.

Does anyone have a clue what things are messed up?

ngoonee · 2009-05-07 02:26:35

Okay, I've done up a config file. First, how I did it was I did a diff on the x686 config file, copied the x86_64 config file from ABS for kernel26, and changed the necessary lines (in the end, TOI related as well as reiser4).

Here's the diff for x686 as compared to the diff for x86_64.

And here's the config.x86_64 file itself. Will try compiling it now, dont foresee any problems. By the way, viewing the diff for x686, you may want to tweak a bit to bring your config in line with the main kernel's.

EDIT: Ah, there was an error in the config.x86_64 from ABS! Please change the line CONFIG_AUFS_INO_T_ to CONFIG_AUFS_INO_T_=y. It's line 3783.

EDIT-2: Even sillier, I just compiled with no problems, and realized that I forgot to change CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-ARCH" to CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-ice". Re-compiling....

Okay, I've compiled the kernel and it seems to be working fine here. Here's the updated (corrected) config.x86_64.

That's because rt12 is out. If you want rt11, go to http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ … _of_patch>.
