Hi all, I am trying to optimize my Yeeloong laptop running GNS, after a new installation with the vmlinuz-2.6.35.8-libre2-lemote from http://archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense-metad/installer/current/mipsel/loongson/netboot/
So far, I made a few observations: 1/ Following the instructions in http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Projects/GNewSenseToMIPS gives me a functional system 2/ The upgrade to the 2.6.37 kernel requires to change from hda to sda in the /etc/fstab and in /boot/grub.cfg 3/ PMON graphical interface The PMON graphical interface offers a more userfriendly way to change the system parameters. Open it by pressing the "b" key at boot time However, some parameter changes are saved correctly whereas some other not: 4/ Kernel path When customizing the PMON parameters from within the graphical interface the "Boot" page offers the parameter "Set kernel path" which I managed to update to "/boot/vmlinux" after copying the vmlinux-2.6.37... file to "vmlinux". 5/ Karg parameter As for the "Set karg" parameter, I can modify the value from "console=tty root=/dev/hda1 no_auto_cmd" to "console=tty root=/dev/sda1 no_auto_cmd" in order to avoid a kernel panic in the event of booting without a /boot/boot.cfg file. However, the karg parameter are reinitialised after a reboot. Then, I have to manually update the karg parameter from the PMON console, with: set karg "console=tty root=/dev/sda1 no_auto_cmd" 6/ With the 2.6.35 and the 2.6.37 kernels the yeelong-base and grub-yeeloong packages seem to be not more required. However the suspend to ram and the hibernate function dont work anymore.
