Re: [expert] ACPI
To keep the story short, I will assume that you have a strong background with Linux. 1) get and install the kernel source rpm 2) apply the acpi patch acpi-20020308-2.4.17.diff (at sourceforge) 3) apply the failed fixmap.h hunk by hand as a permanent_fixed_address 4) build the kernel and modules (see kernel howto for details) 5) install new kernel and modules 6) build and install new acpid (sourceforge) 7) update your boot loader (lilo, grub, whatever) Many of these steps are non trivial and should not be attempted unless you really understand them in whole. Oh, I have been using acpi on my Vaio laptop since August with the Mandrake series and several different kernels. Works well.

Re: [expert] ACPI and kernel-2.4.21pre4
Since Praedor seems to be having many weird problems as posted on the list, I'm thinking it might be a power supply and/or temperature problem. The fact that he gets things to work, and then they die later would indicate a heat problem. I believe that MSI motherboard only has a minimal heatsink with no fan on the Northbridge. I have the Ultra 2, and mine doesn't have a fan, and the temps do get what I consider too high for the chipset- around 38C. I do have two case fans drawing in outside air, and a good cpu heatsink fan on my Athlon 1700+ XP T-bred B. Praedor- can you post what type of cooling you have on the cpu, case, and Northbridge, and type of power supply, and temps, if you have lmsensors working? Those Athlon 1.1GB chips do run very hot- much hotter than the XP's. I'm not saying this is the main cause of your problems, but it is something to consider if you do in fact have inadequate cooling.

My first attempt was with gcc-3.2 but it failed (as usual) with kernel panic when I tried to bootup (the specific problem scrolled by too fast for me to see if it was XFS-related and I couldn't do Shift-PageUP to look at it).

I cannot turn off acpi in the bios - if I do the system refuses to boot at all (only with the 2.4.21 kernel). The 2.4.18 and 2.4.19 kernels bootup fine with acpi disabled in bios. This special case of 2.4.21 dying at initial boot, before any logging was possible was an unusual case for me - I usually can get to at least a kernel panic if there is something screwy with my kernels. I am about to try rebooting with the acpi=off switch with my current 2.4.21 custom kernel and see what comes of that. praedor Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] ACPI and kernel-2.4.21pre4
Don't rule out the rest of the hardware either. I've replaced several motherboards, a few hard drives and a couple of sticks of memory over the past year. Good reason to keep an extra system around for testing. But that doesn't catch the slow death of bad UDMA and almost good memory.

Re: [expert] ACPI and kernel-2.4.21pre4
Praedor- you're probably right, seeing as how no problems with 8.2. Then again, Jim C has a point: "If using these kernels is more compute-intensive then wouldn't that logically jack up the heat?" When I first got this MSI Ultra 2 board, I did some reading on a few hardware forums, and the consensus was that although MSI shipped the board without a chipset heatsink fan (only the heatsink), and felt this was adequate, people were finding it wasn't. They reported weird inexplicable problems, that went away when they replaced it with either a heatsink/fan combo, or the Zalman chipset heatsink, with the higher more massive cooling fins, and no fan. I've touched the MSI heatsink, and it is definitely too warm, as lmsensors reports (confirmed by the bios, and windows motherboard monitor). I plan to upgrade that heatsink myself. You might remove the side of your case, and point a desktop fan directly onto the Northbridge area, and see if the problems go away. If so, you know that's at least part of the problem. BTW, here's my entries for the via chipset on the MSI Ultra 2- should work on your Ultra (isn't it the same basic board and chipset?) for lmsensors, and Gkrellm. These entries also work on the Abit KX7-333 (same chipset as the Ultra 2).

I was screwing up my acronyms...if I disabled APIC in bios, 2.4.21 would refuse to even try to bootup. I tried the "noapic" switch but the behavior remains: 2.4.21 will not bootup even if I set "noapic" AND disable APIC in bios. If I enable APIC in bios, then, even with the "noapic" switch, it will bootup. I discovered my problem is a general USB problem too. I thought it was isolated to my wusb11, a problematic device anyway with a buggy driver. Yesterday, for the first time since installing 2.4.21, I needed to print a document. I have a USB HP Deskjet 845C that was working fine under MDK 8.2 and 9.0 with their respective kernels. With the 2.4.21 kernel (I have reported this to the cooker list) I am unable to use my printer. At first, it was just not seen at all. If I ran printerdrake, it just could not/would not see my usb port. I completely removed my printer and tried again to install my printer. Printerdrake now saw the USB port and set the printer up as /dev/usblp0. I setup the printer as usual from this point but it refused to print testpages or anything else for that matter. A look at my syslog showed messages indicating that the printer wasn't connected (it was just as connected as it was when printerdrake set it up to start with).

Re: [expert] acpi and resume on a Toshiba Satellite 4090
I tried what you mentioned in this thread (I've been following it b/c normal suspends don't work on my computer). However, when I uncomment the line in the suspend file, and add suspend=/dev/hda6, my laptop will suspend on its own 2 or 3 times just during startup (??), each time shutting down completely. I can turn the laptop back on, then the startup process will continue from where the suspend occured. This repeats a few times, then the MDKKdm finally comes up and things seem to run ok, but USB isn't working anymore at this point. It's kind of an odd problem :-) Does anyone have any ideas as to what I could check to see what is causing this, or has anyone had this happen to them?

Re: [expert] acpi and acpi on a Toshiba Satellite 4090
James, With acpi activated if I close kde and try to run it (or other windows manager again) the computer hang completely. Also after a resume if I try to run xine, I get a blue windows, sound but not image. As soon as I disable acpi xine start to run again. I will investigate more on acpi, but perhaps due that is still on development, those problems could be normal.

Hezekiah, I don't know if you are a member of the Mandrake Club, but if so, I put a rpm request of the toshutils that I have used until 9.0 without problems for hibernation, fan and so on (if you don't know it, have a look at www.buzzard.org.uk/toshiba). Unfortunately I haven't been able to compile it under 9.1 :-( So if you are a member of the club, please vote it!; if you have a Toshiba it will probably be useful for you.

Re: [expert] acpi and resume on a Toshiba Satellite 4090
Thanks for the pointer Francisco! I am a member, and I just added a vote for toshutils :-) I've used it before as well. I don't think I can suspend/hibernate with it b/c the model I have, 2805-s503, suspends to a file on the FAT32 partition under windows, and this apparently isn't supported yet in linux. But it's a very useful tool none the less.

Go through the /etc/sysconfig/suspend script there is a point in it where you can tell usb to restart. The default it no because if it isn't needed it can cause trouble I'm told.

Yes when I boot to the kernel config with acpi on. However I spend most of my time in apm still trying to figure out the problems with the Compaq dsdt table (Suspend is about the only thing that works in acpi with this laptop.)

Re: [expert] acpi and acpi on a Toshiba Satellite 4090 ¡Works!
James, Now is runing!!, thank you very much for your help!!! pmsuspend make the difference, I tought that putting down the pannel was the way to resume as it was until now. Now I must run pmsuspend from a console; I know. Unfortunately I haven't started to test wireless cards. At the University there is a whole wireless project but it still hasn't started and due to a close gnome lite distributions for the student in our university, there are several linux gurus in the informatic equipment making the project, so I am sure we will have first hand information about how to use this wireless net from our linux runing computers. As soon as I have some more information or test about wireless I will tell you. Thanks again and regards, > No problem... Hope it works as well for you as it does me..

Oh and I did this. cd /usr/bin as root vi jsuspend (j for james) #!/bin/sh /usr/sbin/pmsuspend close it ... chmod it 755 then I used DrakConf to add this to the the menu. Then I added it to the taskbar as well. Now I just click the icon and it goes to sleep. Just wish I could get the little blue botton on my box to work the way it does with APM (buggy bios.)

Re: [expert] acpi and acpi on a Toshiba Satellite 4090 ¡Works!
Very interesting, James!, Nevertheless I have had several crash after resume and launching kde. I don't know if I am doing something badly or is a problem between my computer and acpi. I will do some more test Regards El Domingo, 30 de Marzo de 2003 01:53, James Sparenberg escribió: > On Sun, 2003-03-30 at 02:06, Francisco Alcaraz wrote: > > James, > > > > Now is runing!!, thank you very much for your help!!! > > > > pmsuspend make the difference, I tought that putting down the pannel was > > the way to resume as it was until now.

ACPI works only under winNT... not XP not 2000 (or at least googling around says that) In fact with acpi suspend is the only thing I go working right went back to apm... that works. But why I said the Bios is that I did a Bios upgrade recently and that cured a bunch of X related problems for me.
