Re: [gentoo-user] trouble with Kernel 2.6.0-test6
And once again, Hi! I discovered a workaround for the adsl-problem without the need for pci=noacpi or acpi=off. When I enable APIC under "processor type and feauters" everything works and there is no need for pci=noacpi. If I use an APIC-enabled kernel plus the pci=noacpi option passed to my kernel, this results in the annoying "lost interrupt" Error due to the fact that IRQ probing fails. But without everythink works just fine and there is no problem with adsl. If I use a kernel without APIC enabled I cannot connect to the internet unless I pass pci=noacpi or even acpi=off to the kernel at start-up. Here there are no "lost interrupt" errors or the likes.

Re: [gentoo-user] trouble with Kernel 2.6.0-test6
Hi again and thanks for your replies. I have tried the following options to get adsl working: acpi=off --> worked perfectly but of course I wouldn't be able power down correctly and since I hate APM, I tried the other options :-| pci=usepirqmask --> did not work :-( route add default gw --> did not work :-( pci=noacpi --> works perfectly and thats the option that I have chosen since it allows me to poweroff correctly. :-) Again, thank you all for your support. I hope the stable 2.6.0 release will be free of such fatal bugs. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Yeah, I'm running on a laptop though, so ACPI comes in handy for battery status and temperature and such. Likewise, I get problems with USB when ACPI is enabled. The best I got with -test5 though was "acpi=off pci=usepirqmask" and then I would have to plug in my USB mouse after the system had started to get it to work. As I said before, I haven't really tested -test6 much yet. Regards, Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

To those with networking problems, try running `route` to check your routing tables.

Actually, I've had many problems with the test kernels since test3. test1 and test2 had a couple of problems with -mm* but for the most part worked perfectly. Since test3, I haven't been able to get acpi to work well at all and now this network problem... Actually, try booting with pci=noacpi and then acpi=off. I didn't get around to trying acpi=off but it usually fixes a lot of problems with the test kernels. Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] trouble with Kernel 2.6.0-test6
first of all, thanks for your reply > Re-emerge the kernel and then read what it says at the end... Its actually a vanilla-kernel that I obtained at kernel.org so I actually didn't emerge it. After reading your email however I checked portage and found a development-kernel (development-sources-2.6.0_beta6) that probably corresponds tp the current vanilla development-kernel. I am emerging it right now. > Jason > -- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] trouble with Kernel 2.6.0-test6
Hi, all! This might not be the apropriate place to ask questions related to non-gentoo-kernels, even more as the questions are about a testing kernel (2.6.0-test6). Yet, I hope that someone will be kind enough to answer my questions. After having heard so much positive stuff about the upcoming 2.6 Linux Kernel I decided to give it a try but soon I would run into some wierd problems that I havent been able to solve even after many hours of trying. The first one is that I cannot connect to my adsl-provider (german telekom) any longer, despite of all necessary modules being there and loaded (at least I think so). the ppp_generic, ppp_async, slhc, sis900 (my ethernet driver) are all available and roaring pinguin also compiles well and does not complain about lacking drivers ... but inspite of this I cannot connect to my ISP. There is another big problem. Under X I cannot start any terminal emulation software such as Xterm, Eterm or Konsole unless I am logged in as root. Xterm doesnt start at all, Eterm starts and exits immediately and konsole spits out following message before it exits: "unable to open a suitable terminal device". This problem really p. me off since I have to leave X and switch to the virtual consoles everytime I want to type in a command and that is annoying. I guess there is something wrong with the pseudo terminals. Maybe the permissions are not set correctly. But if that was the case, why does it work under the gentoo-2.4.20-r5 kernel??? Is something wrong with devfs??? Thanx in advance. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
