unofficial linux-ck repo with cpu optimized packages is ONLINE

graysky · 2011-01-16 21:38:36

@JokerBoy - I can add one for you. Gimme about 20 min.

EDIT1: Got distracted. Building now and will upload soon.
EDIT2: Okay, it's sync'ed and files are online. Please let me know.

seems to be a problem with your repo..

lsr /var/lib/pacman/sync/kernel26-ck/
/var/lib/pacman/sync/kernel26-ck/

0 directories, 0 files

graysky · 2011-01-16 23:35:08

@all - had to rebuild it with a slightly different path - see the first post of the thread for the new one and edit your /etc/pacman.conf accordingly!
@JokerBoy - Go ahead and modify the server entry and try again.

Hey graysky, cool stuff you got here. I've been building kernel26-ck from the AUR for ages now, just wondering how exactly these -core2 optimisations would be included in the AUR's PKGBUILD if possible.

Cheers!

edit: upon re-reading the OP there's no BFQ in the kernel26-ck repo packages.

runs fine!

now i can run my cpu on low ferquencies even more often. thanks for that!

All you need to do is to enable the nconfig option, then go to processors>processor family and select it there.

Correct, I want them to be as close to the ARCH packages as possible. So they just get the CK1 patchset and optionally, the processor family-specific optimizations.

No idea how my packages are allowing you to do that but I'm glad you're happy

disastrophe · 2011-01-18 02:05:53

Happy to hear about this. I recently started using kernel26-ck and have been very favorably impressed. Already did mine the old fashioned way but this will certainly make updates much more convenient and faster. Thanks!

biniou · 2011-01-19 13:30:49

Hi, thanks for all your work !
I installed kernel26-ck-atom without any glitch but I can't use it : when my netbook (Samsung NC10) turns off the screen (for powersaving), it never go back to light no matter what I do. :-/
Do you have a solution for me ?

PS: Sorry if my english sux.

graysky · 2011-01-19 20:03:45

@biniou - is this the case w/ the kernel26 package from [testing] which is also 2.6.37? Thought that I read about this somewhere as an issue with the version bump.

Falcata · 2011-01-19 22:21:26

I attempted to use kernel26-ck, but when I did it mysteriously failed when I booted up. If my memory serves correctly, it tried to load my hard drive by UUID, failed to find it, and then tried to create a new HD entry (also by UUID), and failed. I tried this with both the prebuilt one from the repo and with one I built by PKGBUILD, but no luck.

graysky · 2011-01-19 22:27:07

@falcata - grub or grub2? Can you post two things:

1) ls -l /boot
2) cat /boot/grub/menu.lst # if grub or cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg # if grub2

Falcata · 2011-01-19 22:33:37

Check the error in your kernel line for -cks

You're calling the standard ARCH kernel when you need to call the /vmlinuz26-ck

Falcata · 2011-01-19 23:21:46

I was able to get it to boot, but xorg failed to start when it tried to load the nvidia module, and I have nvidia-ck installed. Are there any additional steps that need to be taken?

After you install the kernel and nvidia-ck,reboot and try again.
If it doesn't work, post the logs.

Not very much to go on, so I checked /var/log/errors.log, and found this:

karol · 2011-01-19 23:49:38

/var/log/errors.log says you've installed the AMD K7 version, not an i686 one.

Falcata · 2011-01-19 23:52:15

Yeah, and I have the normal nvidia-ck version installed:

[zauber@myhost Documents]$ yaourt -Ss nvidia-ck | grep installed
kernel26-ck/nvidia-ck 260.19.29-2 [installed]

Looks like the K7 version was accidentally packaged as the normal 686 one.

@Falcata - fixed and updated. Thanks for catching the mistake, guys. Please give it a try and let me know if it's good.

Falcata · 2011-01-20 01:28:41

Reinstalled after doing pacman -Scc and pacman -Syy, and it's still K7.

graysky · 2011-01-20 01:56:41

@Falcata - I booted into my i686 using the pacakges from the repo and everything is fine. Not sure how to why you're getting that K7 error. Can someone else running i686 confirm?

philanecros · 2011-01-20 06:34:19

@Falcata - I guess your nvidia problem is caused by kernel module dependencies. Run depmod once when booted from kernel-ck. I met this problem as well and it is solved. Maybe this also applies to @kinhodder's wl problem.

Now using core2 and it works fine. Thanks for the repo!
