quel Subject: [Cooker] kernel 17mdk NVidia
the driver builds but when first used the whole machine crashes
and it crashes hard: no response at all, black screen, network
quel is dead,
no magic keys, all logs only contain garbage
has anybody build nvidia on the new kernel? Maybe my
quel post-install script
screwed up somewhere.
I'll test some more.
quel Two different machines:
quel 1. A Dell dimension with a TNT2. The machine boots but crashes as
quel above when I try to start X. Booting with the pci=noacpi option,
quel the machine runs fine.
quel 2. An ASUS-7N266 with Athlon 1700, embedded GeForce2, the machine
quel does not even start booting unless acpi=off is passed on the
quel command line.
quel It looks like the whole acpi thing is quite flaky. Why are the
quel files in /proc/acpi when all the doc show them in /proc/sys/acpi?
quel acpid looks for the rules in /etc/acpi/events and fails to start
quel because this folder does not exist. Where is acpictl?
Long story, basically:
- acpid is obsolete ospmd is very alpha :(
- I am packaging ospmd (first need software suspend to work).
- ACPI code in kernel is very old and buggy, new code is _way_ better,
but perhaps still not perfect.
Later, Juan.
