Archlinux on Samsung n130/n140

caligula700 · 2009-12-18 13:04:30

So, is there a chance that we get a kernel without the freezes, nice battery life, and specially compiled for the n130 so it works fast??

And able to run in Ubuntu 9.10, for example?

That would be really nice

@caligula700: Well I won't settle for other distros when I can have Arch!
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_is_the_best
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arc … tributions

Seriously once it is understood how to configure/patch a kernel without freezes for one distro (or equivalently why/if the openSUSE kernel works) it will be clear how to make all distros work properly. Then you can pick whichever one you like.

Unfortunately I will have no access to my N140 in the near future.

I don't have access to my N130 right now...

Guys, that is why youre calling it a netbook or subnotebook.
You can take it with you and travel around without any pain in the back...

just kidding

I permanently have access to my sammynetbook, so i can test the kernels.
Sadly that is probably the only producrtive thing i can contibute...

I cant wait until you guys determined the failure :-)

Perhaps it is too cute and portable. Try telling people that they can't take it away travelling because I want to test kernels...

here we go:

I booted, went fo a cigaret brake (that includes riding the elevator), did the disk access (3x actually) and dmesg showed:

Than upload it to a paste service. I´m also interested in your config.

Thanks pschwed.

The last line of your log:

ata1: clearing spurious IRQ

comes from the patch "patches.drivers/libata-ata_piix-clear-spurious-IRQ". The ata_piix driver is the relevant libata driver here and interrupts are likely to be involved in the problem, so this looks very interesting.

You could check at what time that message appeared (/var/log/messages has the times I think). I would guess it was either ~5mins after boot, or when you did the first subsequent disk access, but let's check.

It would be interesting to add this patch to the AUR kernel26-n130 kernel and see if the freezes disappear. Alternatively remove that patch from the SUSE kernel and see if the freezes reappear.

Here's the original thread in the linux-ide mailing list:
[PATCH #upstraem-fixes] ata_piix: detect and clear spurious IRQs

In this thread a secret bios-mode is discussed for the NC-10;

http://www.sammynetbook.com/plugins/for … .php?18429

it says:

After deep inside the 5CA bios, I found the secret BIOS setting tab. It actived by double lock:
1. numlock (Fn-F11) enabled.
2. scrolllock(Fn-F12) enabled.
3. capslock disabled.
in bios screen. This tab contains bunch of internal chipset settings, some interested settings are:
1. DVMT memory. Set to MAXDVMT, increase VRAM from 128M to 224M
2. enable AHCI mode (not work)
3. Fan control...

this line:

2. enable AHCI mode (not work)

i interesting, isnt it?

perhaps it works on the samsung n140/n130 to edit the settings...

Unfortunately i cant access that secret bios-mode on my netbook...

EDIT: Ah, forget it, that wont solve our problem :-)

I updated the wiki again: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samsung_N140

Can someone (with a non-01CM/CU BIOS) please try out the kernel patch in post #82 and confirm/deny that it fixes the problem ? I don't have the hardware to do it myself.

@pschwed: thanks for the config

@Svlad: yeah, I tried that key combo a while ago and didn't find a hidden BIOS screen on the N140/04CU at least.

Sure, but i cant compile a kernel by myself as i said...

@DonVla

It'd be nice to add the patch to the kernel26-n130 in AUR.
So if you have some time in the next days i would appreciate this...

Svlad

Aedit · 2009-12-20 11:42:26

@Svlad: thanks. I have put instructions in the wiki on how to take the kernel26-n130 AUR package and modify it so that it compiles with the extra patch. If DonVla adds it permanently then I will update it.

Hi all!

I added the Suse patch.
Ok, I also made it optional, because some people (like me) do not have this issue.
If one wants to use it, just set "_USE_LIBATA_PATCH" to 1 and then the patch is applied.
I haven't compiled the kernel with this patch, but it applies without any problems. It also applies fine in combination with the bfs patch. Anyway these are 2 different things so there should be no hassle.
Give it a try and please report back.

Vlad

PS: Sorry for the delay. I wasn't at home for most time this weekend

Hi everyone!

I just finished compiling my Samsung N140's kernel with the patch from post #82. The freezes seem to be gone

Only message I get in syslog:

Dec 20 18:22:38 outofband kernel: ata1: clearing spurious IRQ

Some specs from my system:
Samsung N140
BIOS: 03CU
Kernel: standard Arch kernel (kernel26-source from AUR), just the one patch.

Thank you all for working on this problem. If you need more diagnostics/etc I'll be glad to help.

@fberger: That's great! Thank you for testing it. It would be helpful if you could post a kernel log with the times. That's a 2.6.32 kernel (like Arch testing) isn't it so presumably your wifi and function keys are working well too.

@DonVla: thanks for updating the AUR. I have adjusted the wiki to match.

Hmmm....
I was about to send my n130 back to Amazon, but now...

Can anyone else confirm that the patch works ?

Svlad Cjelli · 2009-12-21 13:59:25

I cant believe it...

i tested the system for about half an hour... rebooted and suspended it several times and there are NO freezes anymore.

If my systems continues to work so well and i'll detect the blackscreen-BUG i'd be totally satisfied!

My System:

Samsung n130
BIOS-Version 05CM

Thanks a lot guys!

Is this an Ubuntu-only thing ? If it happens with Arch could you describe what happens and when ?

No this isnt an Ubuntu-only thing...

I guess every user should have these Problems with Kernel 2.6.32...

Description:

A normal booted Linux, archlinux in my case, will do well now (apperently since today :-) ) - No freezes and blazing fast.

But if you suspend the system to RAm or to disk, after resuming the system begins to flicker sometimes.
After about 5 minutes of usage the screen becomes black. But the system continues working. You just cant do anything. So you have to suspend the system to RAM again and wake it up. Now you can see everything.

After about five minutes the screen will be dead again!

Interestingly the screen becomes black sooner if you work heavily with graphical apps such as firefox, gimp or something like that.
If you do nothing the screen wont become black.

Furthermore the problem does not occur if you just booted the system. Only after suspend to RAM/DISC teh problem occurs

Aedit · 2009-12-21 16:03:51

Hmm, I didn't see this when running a 2.6.32 release candidate. I guess something changed somewhere.

What kind of black? (a) LCD backlight off or (b) LCD backlight on but every pixel set to RGB=(0,0,0) ?

If the backlight is off can you turn it on again with "sudo setpci -s 00:02.1 F4.B=FF" (you would need to ssh in from another computer - or type the command blind). Or with the brightness Fn keys if you set them up as described in the wiki ?

Can you access a console with Ctrl+Alt+F1 ? And return to X with Ctrl+Alt+F7 ?

version (b)... so you can see that somewhat is on :-)

I have no idea what you are talking about :-)
I didn't set up the fnkeys. But that should have nothing to do with that problem, sice the guys from ubuntuusers.de have the same problems. And they didn't set up the keys with xbindkeys and that stuff.

No i can't

Doesn't matter -- it's only relevant if backlight goes off (which it doesn't you say). Then you might be able to turn it on again with setpci or equivalently with the brightness keys (executing the setpci-based script in the wiki).

Is KMS enabled?

@fberger: do you also see this problem?

Is this specific to the N130/N140 or is it seen also with other computers?

Sorry, just noticed your edit now.

Yes, it's a 2.6.32 kernel, specifically this one.

My kernel log: http://nopaste.info/96efa57f61_nl.html

WiFi works perfectly, as do the Function keys (just configured them an hour or so ago, it seems I need both the entry in the hal configuration file and the right numbers in /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/force_release, as described in the wiki)

Aedit wrote:

Yeah, I got the blank screen a number of times (and the screen flickering) since I switched to 2.6.32, though it doesn't seem to be predictable as to when it happens (as is the case with your system). Restarting X via ssh doesn't work, and I haven't tried suspending it while the screen is blank.

I haven't been able to find anything in the logs, but I'll keep looking when it happens again.
