Re: [expert] 2.4.20 Kernel Problem
Noticed two things here on a compaq m700... one apm is not compiled in. So since APxx isn't supported right on this laptop I removed it (the rpm kernel)installed source and compiled my own... Now works right except for problems with my d-link pcmcia (DFE-670TXE) nic. Under the 20 kernel it's slower than molasses in January. Reboot to the stock 9.0 kernel and it works fine. Any Ideas. On PCI this one works fine. All hardware found and functions. Even able to get the Lucent LinModem to appear to work.(I can call my home phone from the office but I don't have a dialup ISP) Both under the rpm from cooker and under the one I compiled. Are you able to compile a 2.4.20 that works?

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi I have recently successfully installed cooker on my Presario 732US, and made a webpage detailing this at: http://individual.utoronto.ca/noyes/projects/laptop/tuxtop.html It is still under heavy development, but it should be very usefull to you.

[expert] 2.4.20 Kernel Problem
Greeting all, I have a Compaq Presario 725CA notebook that I am truing to upgrade to kernel 2.4.20-2mdk (has fixed for ACPI), but I have installed the stock kernel from cooker and when it boots, it always locks hard while probing the PCI bus: PCI: PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xfd7ae, last bus=1 PCI: Using configuration type 1 [] (I get 109 dots, if that means anything???) And the system stops there, requiring a power off to reboot. I tried it with "pci=conf2", but then I get a message stating that the system does not support PCI and it boots, but sound, network, and ACPI devices are never found because they are PCI. Tried booting with "noacpi" as well, but I got as far probing the PCI bus and hung. Any ideas? I tried recompiling, and got the same problems. -- ...Rob -- Doing evil in the name of good is still evil. = Robert Goshko Axis Computer Consulting Services, Inc President Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada http://www.axis-dev.ca/ Supporting the Revolution In Your World = Registered Linux User #260513 GNU/Linux i686 2.4.19-16mdk 11:40am up 18 min, 4 users, load average: 0.09, 0.16, 0.16 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
