Di Nitto [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed, 28 Apr 2004 18:55:17 +0200 I checked my older logs and this error message showed up before. So this bug appears to be benign. It seems that the problem here is that Radeon firmware was removed from kernel. In README.Debian.1st file that comes with kernel-image package I found this: Non-free bits removed: (...) * R128 firmware: . drivers/char/drm/r128_cce.c * Radeon firmware: . drivers/char/drm/radeon_cp.c No workaround was suggested, and there was no warning about possible consequences. Perhaps using kernel modules from Michael Daenzer's repository would be a good transitional solution? Alternatively, one can always turn off dri. Cheers, Slaven

These atkbd.c errors are unrelated to it (though may be the errors Diego was talking about). The removal of the non-free radeon firmware from the kernel causes the X server to lock up using 100% cpu (and to fill up XFree86.0.log with error messages). I was able to ssh into my box and reboot it, so using the power button is not necessary if you can connect remotely. See bug #246587 against kernel-image-2.6.5-1-686 for more details. Josh

Thanks to Michael Daenzer there is an easy fix for this. Download and install drm-trunk-module-src package from http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/dri-trunk-sid/ as well as appropriate kernel-headers-2.6.5 package. Then follow standard procedure (as a root): cd /usr/src tar xvfz drm-trunk.tar.gz export KVERS=2.6.5-XXX export KSRC=/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.5-XXX cd modules/drm-trunk debian/rules kdist_image This creates drm-trunk-module...deb package in /usr/src directory, which can be easily installed with dpkg -i (no --force-overwrite necessary). At least, this worked for me ;-). Cheers, Slaven
Re: X and 2.6.5 kernel: update of 2.6.5 kernel locks my laptop
Hi, After updating kernel 2.6.5-1-686 from version 2.6.5-2 to 2.6.5-3, my laptop gets locked as soon as X is started upon boot. I get just a blank screen, keyboard does not respond, and all I can do is to turn the power off. It really sounds like it has nothing to do with X, but in /var/log/messages it says this is a XFree86 bug. Apr 29 08:25:00 ivor kernel: agpgart: Found an AGP 2.0 compliant device at :00:00.0.

Or, should I inquire further on debian-kernel list? Also, let me know if I should supply some additional information. Thanks, Slaven I have same problem look my log in http://uvirtual.ean.edu.co/~derodriguez/kernelprob/XFree86.0.log Bye Diego E. Why not use linux?

I filed bug #246587 against kernel-image-2.6.5-1-686. I believe it is due to firmware being removed from the radeon kernel module, according to this excerpt from the kernel-source-2.6.5 2.6.5-3 changelog: * Added firmware loading support (Nathaneal Nerode): . drivers/char/drm/Kconfig . drivers/char/drm/Makefile . drivers/char/drm/r128_cce.c . drivers/char/drm/r128_drv.h . drivers/char/drm/r128_firmware_loader.c . drivers/char/drm/radeon_cp.c . drivers/char/drm/radeon_drv.h . drivers/char/drm/radeon_firmware_loader.c * Removed non-free firmware: . R128 firmware: drivers/char/drm/r128_cce.c . Radeon firmware: drivers/char/drm/radeon_cp.c Downgrading the kernel to 2.6.5-2 worked for me. Josh
