Video for Linux deprecated drivers (VIDEO_V4L1)
Hello, I need add a device for a particular solution on a x86 box. Device is Logitech QuickCam, USB based WebCam (has to be included because of the change in the experiment specs). To get the device working (capture images by a V4L application), need to compile the driver (qc-usb) & insert the quickcam.ko module. But, what the requirement says I need to enable the VIDEO_V4L1 support. Then I need to select USB_QUICKCAM_MESSENGER driver under the V4L USB devices. Till here it's fine. But if I look at the kernel config, VIDEO_V4L1 is deprecated. If I decide to enable VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT, there isn't any USB_QUICKCAM_MESSENGER driver under the V4L USB devices! Should I select the VIDEO_V4L1 support to get the WebCam working or is there any other way (work around) to get my WebCam working with VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT?

Enigma of Hardware Monitoring in 2.6.20.x or 2.6.21
Hello, I am did compile those kernels to the best available hardware in a P-III machine. (Research experiment - P-III box is a part of Wireless stuff). I have this enigma called Hardware Monitoring support on many boards. Because: a) Vendors don't give enough info - which chips are meant for Hardware Monitoring in a particular board, say in this case a P-III 810E or P4 945 or Core2Duo 965/975 boards. b) Unfortunately, there isn't any reference available in the Config to select the chips for the respective boards. Example - for 810E - some x chip is to be enabled in that tree. How to solve this problem? How to know in Linux (any commands) whether H/W Mon is supported by 810E board or 945 board? (apart from digging from the manuals to narrow down the problem). I am willing to do something for this task (volunteer).

But, have to enable the Kernel Debug (DEBUG_KERNEL) to increase the value from default 14 value to 15/16. I feel that this might increase the kernel size? Ummm, is it possible to move CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT under the General Setup area? (say, down the Kernel .config support - IKCONFIG). Comments pl? (Also, does Andrew really need to be CCed twice?)

Here is the ACPI part in the dmesg:- ACPI Error (psargs-0355): [PRSE] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.LNKE._PRS] (Node dfd63f40), AE_NOT_FOUND ACPI Exception (pci_link-0180): AE_NOT_FOUND, Evaluating _PRS [20060707] ACPI Error (psargs-0355): [PRSF] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.LNKF._PRS] (Node dfd63ea0), AE_NOT_FOUND ACPI Exception (pci_link-0180): AE_NOT_FOUND, Evaluating _PRS [20060707] ACPI Error (psargs-0355): [PRSG] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.LNKG._PRS] (Node dfd63e00), AE_NOT_FOUND ACPI Exception (pci_link-0180): AE_NOT_FOUND, Evaluating _PRS [20060707] ACPI Error (psargs-0355): [PRSH] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.LNKH._PRS] (Node c147d75c), AE_NOT_FOUND ACPI Exception (pci_link-0180): AE_NOT_FOUND, Evaluating _PRS [20060707] I tried with few configurations (config) to solve the problem, am not sure what's causing this failure.

Linux 2.6.20.7 - Hard Disk rumbling?
Hello, I am facing a strange problems with an old 1.2 GHz P-III machine with a 10 GB disk (used as a dedicated web server, later retired out of service!). Out of interest to implement some wireless solution (experiment), I did compile 2.6.20.7 for my requirement. Strangely, I did observe:- hda: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError } ide: failed opcode was: 0xb0 What might be the problem? ~Akula2 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

I see a scenario (many others may have got this idea):- Reading H/W config at the time of doing make (x)config. Idea is to tell the user.hey you have SATA disk, so you can't disable this! (making life easier while compiling the kernel, kinda fast track auto support) Can we do this (some how by Kconfig) by reading from the device info /etc/sysconfig/hwconf or any other way? If we could do that like above, how to manage dynamic devices - say I plug in a USB based Printer? Or a simple USB Thumb drive? Giving the user "Optional Selection" settings from Kconfig? Say, after H/W auto detection by Kconfig, hand over the user an option - "Buddy, do you want to add any other device support into this kernel?" Does this makes sense, Linus?

Yep, still floppies are useful. Example, when we buy a new device (driver) with a floppy (sometimes by manufacturer). Plus, from the customer (not user) POV, what's wrong in spending another $10 for a FDD in a typical $1000 PC?

Not all of the companies asking for this work are in the US, so I don't see any reason why we should limit our developers to just one country, that wouldn't be very fair... That's correct. There should be developers across many regions. For example, PC growth has the highest in Asia - so more users - hence the demand for device support ! Plus, there is huge demand coming in 2 important areas - Embedded & Mobile space. Just let me know what types of devices you are interested in working on. I would love to work on PC as well as Embedded stuff (Power, Intel, and ARM). Devices types - Audio/Video (this needs special attention for the Linux Desktop), USB (TV Tuner card, key for Linux Desktop), Bluetooth (Mobiles) , GSM/GPRS/WiFi/WIMAX (my self R&D area). Plus any device which we think important to boost Linux Desktop ;-) thanks, greg k-h Thank you too, ~Akula2 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Strange XServer (KDE) log out on 2.6.20-rc6 !!
Hello, I was working on this test machine with 2.6.20-rc6. There was a strange X log out (KDE 3.5.x). Three applications were running: BitTorrent client, Firefox 1.5.8, and KWrite. Suddenly, there was a log out from my work space (blank-blink for 3-4 seconds duration). Then, KDE log in screen appeared. When I logged in back, those applications were gone!! I would like to investigate this issue - whether it's a X bug or something to do with kernel?. I am not running the Firewall & SELinux (but, connected to internet). Any inputs for this pl? This maybe OT for LKML...not sure :( Thanks, ~Akula2 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
Re: 2.6.20-rc6-mm3 - interesting dmesg
Hi Andrew, I did compile the same, it's a trouble free boot. I did observe interesting changes in the dmesg between 2.6.20-rc6 & 2.6.20-rc6-mm3 (wondering why there are so many changes in the output).

Re: [Ksummit-2006-discuss] 2007 Linux Kernel Summit
On 1/26/07, Theodore Tso <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I did give you a response. Find a way to pay for 80+ kernel summit invitees to travel to India (preferably in business class :-), and we'll talk. That's not realistic? Well, then perhaps having the concept of holding Kernel Summit in India is not realistic. I did reply to you for your response on Jan 24th. I did ask in that - when is the deadline date to decide about the location? As Dirk has pointed out, the Kernel Summit is a little unusual compared to events such as FOSDEM or FISL, where there are 4000-5000 attendees, and the emphasis is on the power of a large number of people in the OSS community. The Kernel Summit is a very different event, in that it is by-invitation with less than 100 people. The whole point is to get the top contributors together to be able to talk amongst themselves in a high bandwidth environment. You can't do that amongst a crowd of 800, never mind 2000 or 4000. I do understand this & the objectives of the KS. I did mean whether is it possible FOSS.in could be used or not after KS (you've said Kernel developers would stick for 2-3 days in the location. Once the KS is over, developers can take the stage of FOSS.in to interact with people or hold a talk or whatever. I didn't put this point clearly, my mistake. So the only reason why any organization would be willing to pay so that top contributors would come to some country like India would be if to attract visibility and excitement to some big conference or other big OSS/Linux initiative that happened right after the kernel summit. But quite frankly, I personally wouldn't consider it a wise use of money; it would cost a heck of a lot of money and there are plenty of other, more cost effective ways to promote a big OSS conference in India. I didn't understand your statement - some country like India! MIT has Media Labs Asia in India. MIT selected India for the $100 Linux Laptop project. Airbus & Boeing are in India. You are my fellow employee & senior to me, IBM has India Research Labs! Many corporates do promote conferences here, sometimes cost need not to be a deciding factor at all when quality comes first! Anway, am yet to get a positive signal from my Bosses. And if there's no business case for the Indian government or some local Indian companies to pay to fly all of the KS attendees to India, why in the world do you think that companies like HP, Intel, IBM, Red Hat, Novell, etc. will pay for their employees to travel to the Kernel Summit? They don't have even less of the incentive than the local Indian companies/government to do so! Maybe during the dot-com madness of the late 1990's, when people spent money like crazy on things that made no business sense whatsoever, but those days are long gone. Money doesn't grow on trees any more, if it ever did. Regarding getting funding from Indian Govt, have decided to write personally to President of India, Dr. Kalam & to Minister for Information Technology (this is as individual capacity). I hope something happens on this...will try my best (this is a time consuming process). I do know about why corporates fund the employees (I didn't say anything -ve about this). The main reason why we are trying a one-year experiment in Cambridge is because approximately 1/3rd of the KS attendees are from Europe. At the moment I believe we have exactly one person from India, who has been selected through her own merit, to attend the Kernel Summit. So does it make sense to fly everyone else to India? It doesn't seem so to me! I have never mentioned any objections for other locations, plus I do understand the Geographical factors. Yep, I do know her, she is my fellow employee and a senior like you ;-) So the real answer to how do get the Kernel Summit to happen in India? Bring a very large number of developers together in India. Get them to work really hard, encourage them to participate on LKML, and produce lots of useful patches. Eventually, some of them will do enough good work that they will be recognized as maintainers of key subsystems. When there are 25-30+ people from India who have done enough for the Linux kernel community and risen to be recognized as top contributors in the Linux world such that they are invited to the Kernel Summit on their own merits, I'm sure there a Kernel Summit in India would very quickly follow. This is quite interesting to me. I wanted to understand here, is contributing on LKML (patches) is the ONLY criteria for holding a Kernel Summit? There might be 25-30 people from India on LKML, but they are scattered around the globe ;-). Anyway, to see 30 good & right people based in India contributing on LKML might take another 2-3 years more :( But, I will start this with me... Still, if someone wants to pay a vast quantity of money to pay travel for all so that the KS can be held in some exotic location (especially if it's Waikiki beach, or Aspen Colorado during the skiing

From: Dirk Hohndel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2007 06:22:54 -0800 We've held netconf in Japan, Montreal, Portland, and this year will likely be Europe. People found a way to make it and we found sufficient sponsorship for all attendees who needed monetary travel assistence every time. This is why I don't buy the funding argument at all. People who want to come and have the desire, will find a way. Conferences who think attendance is important, will find a way to provide sponsorship for travel when needed. Good thoughts ;-) I too believe in this - Where there is a Will, there is a Way! That's the reason why I have proposed India as the location for KS 2007, am still awaiting for the response from Theodore Tso. But, funding or drag or time zone could be genuine reasons for many because of the Geographical factors.

Hopefully most kernel summit attendees would stick around for 2-3 days afterwards for the technical conference. This is a good idea ;-) There is a FOSS held in India every year, can we consider to make use of this venue? Pl have a look:- http://foss.in/2006/ The problem is that the value of the kernel summit is that we get the > 90% of the key, "right" people there so we can have face-to-face conversations. There reason why I started organizing it years ago was that I hoped that if key developers had a chance to meet with each other at least once a year, it would help them more productively communicate with each other via e-mail the rest of the year. I think it has succeeded in that goal quite well. The problem though is that most people can't afford to fly to India or Australia, and their employers' travel budgets won't allow that either --- and the value of the K-S is based on getting as many of the key kernel developers in one place as possible. I do fully agree with you on this. It should be a quality time with atleast 90% key people. Two years ago, maddog tried to convince me that Brazil would be a perfect place to hold a kernel summit, and that the Brazillian government was 100% behind linux, and could provide a wonderful location, yadda, yadda, yadda. What I told him was that the only way I could imagine it working would be if the Brazillian government was willing to pay travel costs for all 80+ kernel summit attendees to fly from whatever their home airport to Brazil. That way, we don't have to deal with the pushback from corporate travel budget keepers for having to pay $$$ for travel to places around the world. When I told maddog that, presumably he went back to his Brazillian contacts and we never heard back from him about moving the kernel summit to Brazil again. :-) I really doubt whether any Government pays for a Kernel Summit (they will have their own reasons or whatever). Maddog might have felt same like me - huge potential of Linux lies with in B-R-I-C nations, hence we need to stir up more for the movement to catch up (KS would be perfect for this). This initiative would also pays the way for making the dream of a competing Linux Desktop turning into a reality. I am not saying any other nation is less significant, history of Linux is the proof for that. All am wishing is, let's make something more or do more good for our Penguin ;-) I would suspect it would be a similar issue with India. I'd love to have the opportunity to visit Bangalore (or should I say Bengaluru? :-). I also know that it's extremely unlikely that my employer would agree to pay for me to fly there, not to mention all of the other folks that would need to go to the K-S. But hey, if you think that there are organizations in India who would be willing to pay travel for _all_ of the K-S attendees (preferably business class travel :-), let's talk Earlier it was Bangalore, it's now Bengaluru. Linux is also happening in other places here in India like Hyderabad, Pune, Gurgoan, etc (these cities has IT power houses). I do not know about other organizations much. I shall put this with my bosses in my Labs first, this would be involving my company itself . Also, shall explore with my peers (other orgnizations like FOSS). What is the deadline to decide about the location? Believe me, my wish is so high...I wanted to sponsor for u guys (can bear a dozen)...but not so many as 80 ;-) [OT] I read as key kernel developers as some 440 members. Is this for 2.4.x or what?

Thinking about what are the factors which make a Kernel developer to show interest on a particular location. You have to remember that the Kernel Summit is invite only. Holding the summit at a location doesn't really mean it's open to anyone there. Defnitely this could be held on invite only. Many Top forums happen in India in this fashion.

It's also not only a question of who writes such release notes, but also of who the intended audience is. How fine-grained should the release notes be? I would like to contribute here, in any way. Fine graining might be a problem. But we can give info in general? Example, if patch-2.6.19.3 comes out - simply we can say as *x86 32/64* based on the weightage of fixes in that patch.

I never depend on a distributor's kernel, especially Fedora has a Generic one with many things enabled into the kernel.

I do not know yet whether 2.6.19 or 2.6.20-rc5 supports and iSight Video Camera, ATI DDR3 support, Apple Mobile Remote Control, and some sensors like Motion, Light, Thermal, etc. (any suggestion where to look for linux support?). > CONFIG_MCORE2=y Got it, thanks -- Len Sorensen Should I wait for 2.6.20 release so that code would run with no oops or less problematic?

Missing dmesg parameters in 2.6.19.2
Hello All, Atlast I have succeeded in booting 2.6.19.2 on mutiple x86 machines. I did observe a strange dmesg parameter behavior in this case:- 1) Compiling with SMP as Generic (CONFIG_X86_PC is not set, CONFIG_M686=y) . . Using x86 segment limits to approximate NX protection . . Using APIC driver default . . 2) Compiling with SMP as Processor specific (CONFIG_X86_PC=y, CONFIG_MPENTIUM4=y) I do not find the above mentioned parameters in this case. I am trying to figure out what might have happened here? Any clues pl...

Realtime-preemption for 2.6.20-rc5 ?
Hi Ingo, I would like to try with patch-2.6.20-rc5-rt7 for an experiment to measure the latency. Is there any documentation or help which talks about patching, issues, and latency benchmarks? ~Akula2 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Re: Choosing a HyperThreading/SMP/MultiCore kernel ?
On 1/12/07, Lennart Sorensen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I would expect any distribution should work on these (as long as the kernel they use isn't too old.). Of course if it is a Mac, you need a distribution that supports their firmware (which is of course not a PC bios). As long as you can boot it, any i386 or amd64 kernel with smp enabled should use all the processors present (well amd64 on the core2duo and on the p4 if it is em64t enabled). It is not a Mac here, IBM Workstation. I can see the Processor as Pentium 4 CPU 3. GHz (family 15, model 4). How to know EM64T enabled, any command? Trying to understand, should I set CPUSETS=y and SCHED_MC=y Or ignore them. I believe the closest optimization for a Core2 is probably the Pentium M (certainly not the P4/netburst). Not entirely sure though. Yep, this ia a MacBookPro. I have decided about the distro. I did ask this doubt when I got for the custom kernel compilation from source after installation. What I have seen in KConfig is, MPENTIUM4 used for the Xeon processor too. I would try this soon on my Laptop (with SMP since it's a Core2Duo).

Choosing a HyperThreading/SMP/MultiCore kernel ?
Hello All, There are 2 cases:- #1 Intel Pentium 4 Workstation with HyperThreading Since kernel takes HT as 2 processors, I did say in KConfig as: CONFIG_SMP= y CONFIG_NR_CPUS=2 CONFIG_SCHED_MC=not set CONFIG_MPENTIUM4=y (Or should I say CONFIG_X86_PC=y) CONFIG_SCHED_SMT=y CONFIG_SCHED_MC=not set RESOURCES_64BIT=not set HOTPLUG_CPU=not set Pl correct me if am wrong. #2 Intel Core2Duo Processor - Laptop CONFIG_SMP= y CONFIG_NR_CPUS=4 ?? CONFIG_SCHED_MC=y CONFIG_X86_PC=y ? (if wrong, what should I set for Xeon QuadCore) CONFIG_SCHED_SMT=not set CONFIG_SCHED_MC=y RESOURCES_64BIT=not set HOTPLUG_CPU=not set I didn't start this yet (still with Mac, will install in weekend), is this correct one? [OT] I don't know if I can ask about a suggested distro here or not? Anyway, me read that Fedore & Yellow Dog suits well for this?

Re: Linux-2.6.20-rc4 - Kernel panic!

LKML is not the place for such questions. Being wexed from these problems, I didn't frame that question properly. Okay, sorry for that. I meant to ask choosing (from Xconfig tree) a driver as module has same affect compare to compiling a driver as kernel builtin feature? (while loading/booting of kernel) Modules have to be loaded from a filesystem while built-in features are available from the start. The bootloader only loads the kernel image and optionally an initrd. The initrd is used as a preliminary root filesystem which may contain kernel modules to load to make the real root filesystem accessible. That's what distributors do because they don't know in advance which drivers their users will actually need. Endusers who build their own kernels might as well compile all drivers that are needed for access to the root filesystem into the kernel image and work without initrd. The funda about the modules & bootloader I do know, thanks for explaining. I did check the distro .config file (2.6.18-1.2868.fc6). Even I have changed the my .config files according to the distro's. Even after that, same error message. Problem I think is choosing most of the drivers (allmost all) from the Xconfig list? (even the one's I don't use/need).

I did refer to gdb to > debug, it didn't help much. Any clues here how to proceed from here? Did some other previous kernel versions work/boot for you? With the same config file? Yep, till September 2006 I was active with Kernel building with another group in my Labs. I think I have built 2.6.18 sucessfully for my IBM ThinkCentre A51 Workstation (Non HT) that time. Should I post that .config here? Now I have resumed Kernel building activities after a gapall hell broke loose for meproblems are cropping up with this P4-HT machine! I have compared my present .config with the distro's updated 2.6.18 kernel config, made changes. No differences. But I really wonder what's wrong with my 2.6.19/2.6.20-rc4 building efforts :( I still have one my Dual Core Laptop in the que, god knows... It looks like your new kernel doesn't have a driver for the boot device, or the initrd does not have that driver. Is there any way to check that?
