no problem ... it is the first kernel26mm to compile and run correctly with preemption+acpi enabled

thanx dp, finally a kernel that recognizes my alps touchpad without patching...

Great Work !!

It works very good in my system, only one issue...

The nvidia-mm package of stage seems to be outdated, it doesn´t compile and I haven´t nvidia binary drivers working .

Any workaround ?

Greetings.

i addapted the PKGBUILD from staging:

# Contributor : Tobias Powalowski <t.powa@gmx.de>

pkgname=nvidia-mm
pkgver=1.0.6629
pkgbinary=NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1
pkgrel=s1
pkgdesc="The Nvidia drivers for XFree86/X.Org only mm-kernel"
url="http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux.html"
depends=('bash' 'gcc' 'binutils' 'glibc' 'make' 'kernel26mm' 'nvidia')
source=(ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-6629/$pkgbinary.run nv.patch)
install="nvidia.install"
build() {
  cd $startdir/src/
  chmod +x $pkgbinary.run
  ./$pkgbinary.run --extract-only
  cd $pkgbinary
  patch -Np0 -i ../nv.patch
  cd ..
  rm *
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/opt/nvidia
  mv * $startdir/pkg/opt/nvidia
 }

the other 2 files can be found here:

http://xentac.net/tur/tags/staging/nvidia-mm/

put the 3 files in a dir and run makepkg ... and with lot of luck, you will have built the updated pkg yourself. then you can install it with pacman -U nvidia-mm-.....pkg.tar.gz

good luck

(i don't have a nvidia card)

KalephOne · 2005-02-27 16:10:25

Still doesnt work - i always get this message: /var/lib/pacman/local/nvidia-mm-1.0.6111-s2/install: line 98: nvidia-installer: command not found

Can anyone suggest why the keyboard and mouse don't respond after booting with kernel26mm 2.6.11.rc4.mm1-1 ? Booting appears to succeed, as it gets to the login prompt, (both console or gui).

Am using a PS/2 keybd and mouse.
They both work with the stock 2.6.10 kernel.

I've tried appending pci=noacpi apic=off but to no effect.

KalephOne · 2005-02-27 16:38:18

This is what I get when I try to build the nvidia pkg (and nvidia-mm doesnt work since it needs the nvidia module to be installed correctly):

From /var/log/nvidia-installer.log

   make[3]: *** [/opt/nvidia/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg0/usr/src/nv/nv.o] Er

check the kernel log file for more infos

try an older version - maybe it will compile

stonecrest · 2005-02-28 00:19:51

Thanks dp! This fixed the nasty freeze I was getting with trying to modprobe the es1968 module for my soundcard. Everything seems to be going perfectly for me.

The only difference is the following line in /var/log/errors:

padlock: VIA PadLock not detected

Is that relevant?

kernel log files were identical.

padlock is not at all related to keyboard or mouse ... it is an addition to VIA processors to support some crypto functions (
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/ … /0672.html )

to really find out, why your keyboard/mouse doesn't work, it would be needed to debug the kernel more deeply (build it with pointers for a start) ... on the other hand: waiting for the next release and then testing if this is fixed is often much faster ;-)

My root hd does not appear... I can no longer use kernel26mm

sata? scsi? ide?

for scsi you need to load modules before as kernel26mm has them only as module

for sata it _should_ work, as i hope they are built in (at least last time i checked it was so)

any more infos?

Pajaro · 2005-03-01 23:10:29

ide. I have to check somethings, but this week i don't have time. I posted only if you know what could it be. I'll post again when I have reviewed more deeply the problem

rc5-mm1 is uploading ... it has some updates for drive-drivers ... maybe this helps

Pajaro · 2005-03-02 23:56:07

rc5-mm1 works

There's still one point in mm to fix in order to have realtime-lsm module working. This is the output that realtime-lsm compiling returns:

Failed: Security Capabilities not configured as module

If this could be added I think that kernel mm would be ready for realtime editing.

do they mean this 2 lines?

# CONFIG_KEYS is not set
# CONFIG_SECURITY is not set

i'll consider them for the next pkg-release

Pajaro · 2005-03-03 00:34:27

the second is, and maybe the first is a depency of the second... I simply enable the module in xconfig

Remember: It has to be a module.

ndiswrapper 1.0 compilation returns this:

*** WARNING: Kernel seems to have 4K size stack option (CONFIG_4KSTACKS) removed; many Windows drivers will need at least 8K size stacks. You should read wiki about 4K size stack issue. Don't complain about crashes until you resolve this.

I'll check all ndiswrapper when I have time.

:twisted: CONFIG_4KSTACKS is on kill-list because it is depreached and mess with other features IIRC:
