Guys forgive me if this has been answered, but i have a problem with my Aspire AOA 150. I am using network manager and although my wireless connection works fine, after some random time it will stop transfering from it, although it will still appear to be connected. I then click again on my network and it reconnects, and the problem is solved. Is there a bug, or some configuration i missed? On my desktop pc network manager works fine...

There is a bug which the ath5k team claim is in the hardware, however, I haven't had this problem until I got up to speed with the the more recent kernel builds when I switched to Arch some months ago. I presume what is happening is that the newer driver is wanting to enable ASPM (Active State Power Management on the network adaptor, but this bug is kicking in and making the adaptor drop the wifi connection.
Good news is that, as of the `wireless-testing` build on the 8th of October August [sorry, I misinterpreted '08/08/2010'], 'ASPM will now automatically be disabled by the driver, so there is no need to do it manually'. I must inform Inkaine, the maintainer of `kernel26-one` and `-dev`, of this.

Hi, I'm setting up my aao using kernel-one and I was wondering what the best ways keep my power usage down. Currently it's about 9.5W (from powertop), is this usual or should I expect it to be lower than that?
I'm loading the acpi_cpufreq module but is this necessary with the new kernel, and do I also need to load the ondemand govener?
Thanks Inkaine for pointing this thread out to me.

Sorry for asking this question, but the kernel Wiki pages are pretty unclear about this topic: after compilation of vmlinuz-one I have to add it to menu.lst of GRUB. But how can I compile a kernel.img?
Best regards

You don't need to.
If you want to however, you can generate it with mkinitcpio, though you really don't need to.

I am curious. How does it work if the kernel.img is not needed?

Everything it needs to boot is built in with the kernel. That's a major part why this boots faster than the standard arch kernel. The stuff that's not needed for boot is later loaded by modprobe.

Sorry to have some offtopic discussion. But why is kernel.img and mkinitcpio for the other kernels needed?

Because most of the stuff that's not strictly needed for the base kernel is compiles as modules. To even be able to mount the root filesystem, the kernel needs the appropriate driver. When you edit /etc/mkinitcpio.conf you list what drivers and modules should be put on a small initrd-file which is loaded on boot to let the kernel have access to the needed drivers.
As far as I know, the reason for this is to try to make the kernel somewhat slimmed down while still working on a wide variety of systems. If you were to compile everything in kernel, you'd end up with a huge kernel and thus a very, very slow boot.
This kernel however is only ever used for the AAO, and as such doesn't need a very wide support of drivers, just those for this very specific hardware. That means we can compile everything we need in kernel and still keep the kernel small. As an added bonus, we also don't require an initrd-file which helps speed up boot a lot.

I'm wondering if my system is supported by the -one-dev or -one kernel. I have a AO721. It has a AMD athlon Neo II Processor and a ati 4225 graphic card.

AFAIK, this kernel is aimed towards the two first models, the 110 and 150. You could give kernel-netbook a try though.

So, if not having a kernel image makes the boot faster is it possible to have a splash screen without one?

Not currently, no.
Or rather, I suppose you could put all the needed stuff in rc.sysinit and it'll load right after it mounts the root fs, but that might seriously screw your system.
If you trim your boot a little you might not have a need for one anyway.

Hi,
trying to run kernel26-one on aspire one KAV10 and gives me kernel panic (unable to find root partition) my grub entries are :
# (0) Arch Linux
title netbook
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/b5396ec0-f6cf-4361-9d28-ebc39febe08a ro
initrd /kernel26.img
# (2) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux ArchOne [/boot/vmlinuz-one]
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-one root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/b5396ec0-f6cf-4361-9d28-ebc39febe08a ro snd_hda_intel.model=acer-aspire
first entry boots fine, also my root partition (sda3) uses ext4
any ideas?

Hi people. I have a AAO D260 and Arch with the stock kernel. The problem is, rfkill (triggered by Fn+F3) is acting super weird.
My model has both WiFi and bluetooth.
After I boot, only WiFi is on regardless what happened the last time the netbook was on.
If I press rfkill, WiFi is turned off.
If I press rfkill again, only Bluetooth is turned on.
If I press rfkill for the third time, both BT and WiFi are turned on.
Can anyone tell me if that's caused by a hard or a soft switch? I want Bluetooth and WiFi on each time I boot.
Thanks!

Is anyone else still having problems with the wireless dropping out? I thought the bug had been fixed now. Haven't had this problem with any other distro so it's quite annoying, is there anything I can try to do to fix it?
EDIT: Seems to stock kernel fixes this issue so guess I'll be sticking with that from now on.

Hi guys,
I am having trouble with installing kernel26-one from AUR as well as wifi problems.. I hope, this is the right place...
So - during the makepkg-process of kernel26-one everything is going well. The script downloads the kernel from kernel.org, patches it and starts compiling. After calling DEPMOD the script is complaining about some usbvideo/*.h missing file-problem and cancels the whole process.
As a workaround I deleted the following from PKGBUILD and it worked:
# add headers for lirc package
mkdir -p ${pkgdir}/usr/src/linux-${_kernver}/drivers/media/video
cp drivers/media/video/*.h ${pkgdir}/usr/src/linux-${_kernver}/drivers/media/video/
for i in bt8xx cpia2 cx25840 cx88 em28xx et61x251 pwc saa7134 sn9c102 usbvideo; do
mkdir -p ${pkgdir}/usr/src/linux-${_kernver}/drivers/media/video/$i
cp -a drivers/media/video/$i/*.h ${pkgdir}/usr/src/linux-${_kernver}/drivers/media/video/$i
done
Booting from the kernel made no problems at all. But using this new kernel26-one I am experiencing serious wifi-problems like the one's others reported:
Is anyone else still having problems with the wireless dropping out? I thought the bug had been fixed now. Haven't had this problem with any other distro so it's quite annoying, is there anything I can try to do to fix it?
EDIT: Seems to stock kernel fixes this issue so guess I'll be sticking with that from now on.
And in fact I am not experiencing those problems with the stock kernel. Is there a patch missing or something?

Kastro
