Do you mean the 3w-9xxx driver?
It is in the standard 2.6.8-12mdk kernel for Mandrake 10.1
If it is not loading try putting
3x-9xxx in the file /etc/modprobe.preload

Or perhaps you could try the 3w- driver. That is in the kernel too.

Tom,
Thanks a lot. I have a fairly standard laptop setup, so I think the standard 
kernel you linked will be fine.
   Well, I had thought I implied that your chances of success with 
a 2.6.11 kernel on older Mandrake versions were questionable. That 
it would be better to wait a bit an install 10.2 if you need a 
2.6.11 kernel. OTOH, if you install the kernel with -ivh, it will go 
in along side your current kernel, which you then can always fall 
back to if the new kernel fails.

   Laptop, adds in another question mark.  Many reports on cooker 
that 2.6.11 fails on some laptops. Mostly an i686/i586 issue.  The 
only work around right now AFAIK is to try the i586 specific kernel.
(I've never had a laptop)

ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake/devel/cooker/i586/media/main/kernel-i586-up-1GB-2.6.11.2mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm
In explanation; while Mandrake is still primarily an i586 
architecture distro, many things like glibc and the 'normal' kernel 
are compiled for 1686 to take advantage of that optimization and 686 
specific cpu flags.  Many laptop, C(yrix)-3 processors, and some 
others are not true i686 systems. C-3's aren't even true i586.  The 
10.2 installer has been modified to blacklist these systems an 
install the i586 kernel.  'Course if you install a 10.2 kernel on an 
older Mdk version, this protection is not afforded.

 Type 'arch' in a console and press , it'll probly 
return 'i686'.  That only means that the cpu/cache reports itself as 
686 architecture the system might not really be i686.

Re: [newbie] Kernel 2.6.11 upgrade.

2005-03-18 Thread JR
After installing the mandrake package for kernel 2.6.11, the only problem 
seems to be the network. I get this error:


[EMAIL PROTECTED] unholy]# service network start
Setting network parameters: [  OK  ]
Bringing up loopback interface: [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface eth1:  driverloader device eth1 does not seem to be 
present, delaying initialization.
[FAILED]


driverloader is a service that loads the drivers for my pcmcia network card. I 
installed it when I was using the old kernel so maybe the new kernel needs to 
be made aware of it's presence. But I dont know how to do that.

Thanks for listening,

You could get 2.6.11-2mdk from
ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake/devel/cooker/i586/media/main/kernel-2.6.11.2mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm
   (18MB)
You must install it with (as root, in a console, in the 
directory the kernel rpm is in) 'rpm -ivh kern  (just hit the  
key to auto-complete the rest of the package name).  The important 
bit being to _i_nstall (-ivh), rather than U_pgrade (-Uvh) the 
kernel. Since it's cooker, if there's any problem, you can always 
just re-boot an run your existing kernel.

   OTOH, you didn't say if you need a SMP (more than one 
processor), a Hi-Mem (1 gig of ram or more), or any other special 
requirements. In any of those cases, or if you just wanna compile 
from source to better ensure the kernel's compatibility with your 
older Mandrake version. You'll need the source, install with 'rpm 
-Uvh kern 
ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake/devel/cooker/i586/media/main/kernel-source-2.6-2.6.11-2mdk.i586.rpm
   (45MB)

   Holler back if you want to compile, it's really fairly simple. 
OTOH, beware that due to Linus/OSDL security an other enhancements, 
the newest kernels will inhibit many actions that now seem 
transparent to the user, and require changes in many GUI's (CD 
burning for example).  Many processes are handled differently, an to 
tell the truth, I have no idea what impact that will have using a 
2.6.11-mdk on past Mandrake versions.

Sufficiently discouraged? Depends on how adventurous you are ;)
Or you can wait just a bit. Cooker 10.2 RC2 iso's should be 
available within a week or so
ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake/devel/iso/i586
and you could install 10.2 RC2 an keep it upgraded with cooker 
media sources until it becomes 10.2 Community.  A little longer till 
it becomes 10.2 Official.

 I would never recommend kernel.org vanilla sources used to 
compile a kernel. Specially if you don't know how to patch it about 
2 or 300 times to get it equivalent with Mandrake.

[newbie] Kernel 2.6.11 upgrade.

2005-03-16 Thread Tony
Hi,

I've just installed 10.1 AMD64, but had to install the nVidia gfx driver 
after for my 6600GT card.
While installing this with the nVidia .run script, I got an error specifying 
that need to upgrade to at least kernel 2.6.11 because of an accounting issue 
in the current kernel version, 2.6.9.

Is there an automated process (Mandrake or otherwise) that I can use that 
will upgrade my kernel for me, or will I have to do this manually by 
compiling the new kernel ?

Thanks for any advice.

Thanks, to Rick,  the  addition of --kernel-name=** did the trick. I was 
adding --kernel-source-path but not getting anywhere. Now I have the NVIDIA

Just a thought. I have 6111 installed OK but it is against a 2.6.~

I am using the 6111 driver (FX 5700 based, ASUS graphics card) on a custom 
2.6.8.1-24 kernel.  I cannot remember if I installed it on the standard mdk 
kernel (I suspect not).  I use it with 2 screens.  It works fine, except I have 
occasional problems where it will spit the dummy on my XF86Config file, and I 
have to go back to the original, and reset the twin view options in the config 
file. (?Device in use? error)

Hi Dennis,
I had to add these with the 6629 driver, 
--kernel-name=2.6.8.1-24mdk 
--kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1-24mdk
If this helps and it builds, as smiley suggests, make sure the 
"nvidia" is in your /etc/modprobe.preload config file.

It would build but I had trouble with the 6629, same as Ron, 
glxinfo and glxgears would run for root, but no users, new or old,
it would give segmentation faults. (strace showed the perms were 
/proc related, mmx and sse, -tls some type of threading issues, 
beyond my limited understanding. I posted this to the list, no replys,
so I kept looking for answers) 

Ron mentioned the patched 6111 driver, I found this link on 
www.nvnews.net 
look for zander's reply from nvidia corp. 
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=43896&highlight=kernel+2.6.8
I reverted back to 6111 and downloaded the patch for this nvidia driver. 
Extracted the sources, patched them, added the installer parameters
and it successfully compiled. 

My hardware is a GeForceFX 5200 with a nForce2 chipset and
All is working now  .. the only difference is, 
While not noticable, its 100-150 FPS slower 8( than the 
-12mdk kernel.

HTH somehow ..

p.s. also found this info on the club forum, 
"[10.1/10.2+] dkms : a new way to install 3rd party drivers"
http://forum.mandrakeclub.com/viewtopic.php?t=32376
but don't know much about it. Dkms may make this easier when 
upgrading kernels, and it was used for 10.1 and -12mdk from 
the club CD's or DVD. May help someday.

And I had the hand-patched 6111 NVidia driver (see list archives for details)

Also look if in /etc/modprobe.preload you have "nvidia"; if you
don't (or you have "nvidia-agp") try add it and save (you
must be root) then reboot.

[newbie] kernel "flavor" differences ??

2005-02-07 Thread RickSisler
Hi All,
As I am upgrading the kernel, I noticed these new kernel flavors..
There used to be a webpage for the different kernel descriptions for
Mandrake, but I can't seem to find it now .. I checked the wiki,
google, club and cooker but had no luck .. 

We have these kernels now ..
standard kernel --> kernel-2.6.8.1-24mdk
kernel-BOOT
kernel-enterprise
kernel-i586-up-1GB
kernel-i686-up-64GB
kernel-maximum
kernel-secure
kernel-smp

I know what BOOT, enterprise, secure and smp are, and we used to
have i686-up-4GB, but what are.. maximum, i686-up-64GB, i586-up-1GB
now ?
I think I read that i586-up-1GB had something to do with the AMDk6
from lurking the cooker-list but I can't seem to find confirmation. 

I have 1GB RAM and previously had to install the i686-up-1GB or
enterprise kernels, as with mdk 10OE.

Anyway, I found reference to the 1GB HIGHMEM in the defconfig from
the kernel source for -12mdk: 

#
# Firmware Drivers
#
CONFIG_EDD=y
# CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM is not set
CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set
CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y
CONFIG_BADRAM=y

Does this mean this now supported in the *standard* kernel 
.. or 2.6.8.1-24mdk now ?

It would seem so, as the config says, and was wondering if it was
documented somewhere since I have *very* little knowledge of kernel
components ... TIA

[newbie] kernel-source-2.6-10

2005-01-05 Thread SnapafunFrank
In the past, whenever I wanted to compile a `new` kernel, I would first 
up do:

# urpmi kernel-source-2.6-n
Then do:
# urpmi kernel
The kernels were not the latest release and of course rpm's were available.
Because of my usb concerns I thought I would `install` kernel-2.6-10 - 
knowing I would have to compile from linux-2.6.10.tar.bz2.

So first thing, read the README at least, and straight off I'm lost, 
though later it looks like my usual one step at a time approach will get 
there.

Here's were I'm lost:
"- If you install the full sources, put the kernel tarball in a
  directory where you have permissions (eg. your home directory) and
  unpack it"
OK - no prob with that.
"Do NOT use the /usr/src/linux area! "
Again, no prob, sort of covered that, I thought.
"- Make sure you have no stale .o files and dependencies lying around:
   cd linux
   make mrproper
  You should now have the sources correctly installed."
Huh! But I've only unpacked the bz2 file into my home directory - how 
can anything be installed at this point?

Just in case I'm having a braindead week :
"BUILD directory for the kernel:
  When compiling the kernel all output files will per default be
  stored together with the kernel source code.
**[ Fair enough ]**
  Using the option "make O=output/dir" allow you to specify an alternate
  place for the output files (including .config).
  Example:
kernel source code:/usr/src/linux-2.6.N
build directory:/home/name/build/kernel
** [ Possibly not something I might require but better remember, just in 
case ] **

  To configure and build the kernel use:
  cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.N
** WOAH - WAIT UP- where in blue blazes did the directory 
/usr/src/linux-2.6.N come from - yes. I have directories for previous 
versions here but certainly not this one yet.

So right now I have the bz2 file in my /home/frank/src/ directory, have 
it unpacked and I thought ready to go?

So I go back and re-read things and find:
" If you install the full sources. "
Right back at the beginning. The only file I have found is the bz2 file, 
how can I have already installed the full sources. I thought they were 
part and parcel of the bz2 file and as yet had to be installed.

Lost - braindead - BOTH.  Any one want to do the rear seat kicking here?

Actually, 9.2 didn't include the kernel source on the CD's (for whatever 
reason). Your only option is to download it from the web...

The update site carries the latest version.  Kernel updates come generally 
because of security problems, so you should get the latest kernel anyway.  
Don't attempt to 'upgrade' the kernel, just install the new one.  An 
additional stanza will be added to lilo.conf and you will be able to select 
either kernel from lilo, if you do have problems (which is not very likely).  
Then get the matching source.

[newbie] Kernel source for 9.2??

2004-12-28 Thread cervixcouch
I feel kinda doofy asking this, but where do I find the kernel source from
the installation CDs?  I'm trying to install software that needs to find
it in /usr/src/linux.

I've looked at all three CDs but haven't seen anything that appears to be
the source for my kernel (2.4.22.10mdk).  When I went into MCC and did a
search for 'kernel' in the package manager, I got a higher kernel version
than the one I have.

What is the kernel src called on the disks?  Is it called something
obscure, like "bimbos-on-juice.2.4.22.10mdk", and I'm just too braindead
to catch it???

Yeah, I know I can download it from various places online, but I assumed
it would be installable from the installation CDs, like it was in 7.2.

RE: [newbie] Kernel SOurce

2004-11-17 Thread Manaxus
Hi guys, thanks for the responses.

I checked in /usr/src/linux before I wrote to the list and there were no
symlinks and there were no /usr/src/name_of_kernel-source.mdk either. 

I went back to my install of 10.0 and verified that it should be there
so I am assuming that even though I selected to install kernel sources,
it didn't. 

Thanks anyway.

Try /usr/src/linux - it should be a symlink to the real source directory
tree in /usr/src.  The actualy .c files are spread amoung different
subdirectories branching from there.  The drivers are fairly well devided
up by type, with some drivers having their own subdirectory...

[newbie] Kernel SOurce

2004-11-17 Thread Manaxus








Hello,

 

I am trying to work with version 9.1 with respect to device
driver development and I chose to install kernel source upon installation but I
cannot find ANY .c file. The headers are there, but none of the .c’s.

 

When I searched I was logged in as root user, searching from
the / directory and I issued the following command:

Find –name swapfile.c –mount

 

This is the same for all .c files. 

 

Can anyone enlighten me as to where the source code is at?

 

Thanks.

All binary kernel packages have unique names, so you can have more than 
one installed at a time. (Can be handy if your new kernel won't boot your 
system for some reason).

[newbie] Kernel update source/binary mismatch

2004-10-25 Thread Ron Hunter-Duvar
I never got a sympa confirm request for this the first time, and it doesn't 
seem to have come through the list, so here it is again:

This past Friday (Oct. 22) I decided it was time to update my Mdk 10.0
 system, so I did the usual commands as root:

# urpmi.update -a
# urpmi --auto-select

I noticed that one of the updates selected was kernel-source-2.6.3-19mdk. But
there was no corresponding kernel-2.6.3.19mdk package.

I checked in /boot and the rpm database, in case I had gotten the binary
without the source in a previous update. But the latest kernel binary I have
installed is kernel-2.6.3.16mdk (and that was back on Aug. 13). This is the
kernel that I'm currently booting with:

# uname -r
2.6.3-16mdk

In case the kernel binary was a bit late arriving, I did the same urpmi
commands today, and I just get "Everything already installed". In case
auto-select was somehow missing it, I also did this:

# urpmi kernel
Everything already installed

Finally, I did the following:

# urpmi kernel-2.6.3.19

   
 ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrakelinux/official/updates/
10.0/RPMS/./kernel-2.6.3.19mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm ...

And now it's downloading the new kernel binary! What's up with that?
auto-select doesn't work with kernel binaries, but it does with kernel
source? Shouldn't the two always be kept in sync? And why doesn't "urpmi
kernel" find the latest version of the kernel? Why should I have to specify
which version I want? Very strange.

Hi Sevatio. The kernel-source-2.x.x.rpm file is the one you want for building 
other files which depend on the kernel header files - that's the source code 
that was actually used to build the kernel, in a ready to install module. 
What you do with that source is pretty much up to you.

The kernel-2.x.x.src.rpm file is used to actually build the RPM's which make 
up the kernels for your system PLUS the kernel-source RPM. When you rebuild 
it using rpmbuild, it will generate a regular kernel, an SMP kernel, an 
enterprise kernel, a kernel capable of handling memory up to 4 gigs, and the 
RPM file for the kernel-source as well. So, for the sake of simplicity, you 
want the kernel-source.

[newbie] kernel-source-2.x.x.rpm versus kernel-2.x.x.src.rpm?

2004-10-20 Thread Sevatio
What's the difference between kernel-source-2.x.x.rpm and 
kernel-2.x.x.src.rpm?  Could you make one with the other?

Thanks,

Ok after some googling I found these instructions.
For kernel 2.6.8.1-10mdksmp you need the stripped kernel source, don't 
do anything to it.  This is an nvidia installer problem.
Now in a term as root run the installer like this 
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run --x
This will extract the installer files into a directory.
Now with your favorite editor go to /usr/src/nv.c
In this file go to line 3697 and change PM_SAVE_STATE to PM_SUSPEND_MEM
Then get into run level 3 and go to the directory where the nvidia 
installer was extracted and run as root ./nvidia-installer 
--kernel-source-path /usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1-10mdk
This will install the drivers.
Now this is important,  before you get back into run level 5 edit the 
file /etc/modprobe.preload and add "nvidia" on a line by itself, save 
the file then boot back into run level 5 and enjoy.

Hope this can help someone.

Well,  so far I have tried both the stripped and the regular 
kernel-source and both have produced the same results,,  with both I am 
at least able to install the nvidia 5336 version of the driver but x 
wont start complaining that it cant find any screens.  I have tried 
Randall's approach with three versions of the installer but each time 
it will not rebuild the custom installer.
So here is what I'm running once again.  Mandrake 10.1 Community with 
kernel 2.6.8.1-10mdksmp which is running real nice.  Video is a asus 
V9570 TD FX 5700 256mb ddr.
I have tried to install the drivers under single processor kernel as 
well with the same results.
Im beginning to think its a kernel or kernel source problem at this 
point but im going to try this on another computer,  a p3 800 with a 
older nvidia card just to see what happens as soon as I have some time.
Will let you all know how it goes.

You can remove the 'wrong' source and try kernel-source-stripped. You 
can always just use urpme / urpmi to revert to the original 
configuration I think.

Good luck!

I have only one question that has not been clear to me.
uname -r tells me my kernel is 2.6.8.1-10mdksmp
so for the set EXTRAVERSION part would I put
2.6.8.1-10mdksmp or

Hi Dan. When you reinstalled the source, did you prep it? If not, that might
cause you some problems. I'm sorta' throwing together a "tute" page for
this, so if you want me to send it to you let me know and I'll send you the

No problem Randall,  well I was waiting i did a fresh install and 
installed kernel source which I think may be the problem.  However 
before making any changes to anything i went ahead and tryed to run the

Morning Dan. Sorry for the late reply - but Monday mornings come really early 
for me, so I've got to get a little rest before coming to the office ;-)

OK, do me a favor. Please post the output from the next couple of commands 
when you have time:

$ rpm -qa | grep kernel

This should list off the kernel packages you have installed...

$ uname -r

This will list the kernel version you are currently using.

Then, how about also posting the contents of /var/log/nvidia-installer.log as 
well. This might give us more information than what the installer is giving 
you (it tends to be a little terse when giving out info, but the log file 
helps you figure out what's actually going wrong).

This should help us find something that might be causing the problem.

Ok I did chmod which alowed me to execute the file but now I get this 
error.
unable to build the nvidia kernel module interface, then
unable to add a precompiled kernel interface for the running kernel
BTW I have tryed this in smp and single kernel just to check the errors 
and they were both the same.  I have also tryed the nvidia 5336 
installer which complains about not finding a matching source for the 
kernel.

Hi Dan. Out of curiousity, what's the permissions on the 
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run file? Do the following:

# stat NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run

You should see something like:
  File: `NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run'

Modify: 2004-09-30 17:12:18.0 -0500
Change: 2004-10-05 21:55:03.0 -0500

If the executable bit isn't set, you won't be able to execute it, no matter 
which user you're trying to run it with. To correct it, simply type:

# chmod 0755 NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run

Then you should be able to execute the file without any problems.

Let me know if that's indeed the problem, or if we should dive a little deeper 
into it.

Hi Randall I cant seem to get it to build the new driver.

Hi Dan. After preparing your source code (using the method I sent you 
earlier), go to your directory where you have the NVidia drivers. Run the 
file like so:

./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run --add-this-kernal

This will add your current kernel to the setup, and it will generate a new 
NVidia driver file. After that, go into init 3:

# init 3

Then run the newly created file:

./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1-custom.run

This will install the driver, and all you'll need to do is modify the 
XFree86Config-4 file to load the 'nvidia' module.

I tryed this but when trying to install nvidia drivers the error I get is 
something about not being able to determin the source version.
I have had these problems with smp before so i think im just going to 
reinstall with a regular kernel and source and try again.

Hi Dan. That's what you need. Grab that, then install it. Then go into 
the /usr/src/linux directory, and do as follows:

# make mrproper
# cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config
# make oldconfig
# vi Makefile (set the EXTRAVERSION to what you have)

Your kernel source should then be properly prepared for your kernel, and

First. Thanks for your detailed instructions. Some of it is still a foreign language 
to me.

The following command which I got from another list shows this..
 
 find . -type f -exec grep CONFIG_EDD {} \; -print

CONFIG_EDD=y
./config-2.6.3-7mdk
CONFIG_EDD=y
./config-2.6.3-15mdk
CONFIG_EDD=y
./config-2.6.3-16mdk

uname -r
2.6.3-16mdk

I am running the last kernel. Then I suppose they must be wrong??
But it is not the kernel 2.6.5 or later as suggested. Should that make a difference??
Thanks

***
#
# Firmware Drivers

CONFIG_EDD=y

*** That's a paste from /usr/src/linux/.config for the latest 
Mandrake kernel, 2.6.8.1-10

   If you're current kernel's  .config  (in /boot) shows
CONFIG_EDD=y   then 'tech staff' is wrong. Otherwise..

   Install the kernel-source rpm for your kernel if it isn't 
already. Search it's .config and and if the line looks somethin 
like# CONFIG_EDD is not set , remove the leading hash 
(ie, uncomment the line) and edit it to   CONFIG_EDD=y
Save that .config to a another, eg,  .config.save   ... and after 
moving it back into   .config   after the 'make 
mrproper' (mandatory) first step, then 'make oldconfig' and 
continue with the steps to compile a new kernel.

   make && make modules_install && make install

The last step is only fully productive if you first edited 
Makefile before compiling, changed the EXTRAVERSION = (new_name), 
and uncommented the line (about 460 somethin),
  exportINSTALL_PATH=/boot
Then the files and links needed are created in /boot, lilo (and 
grub) is edited and run for you to make the new kernel an option 
on boot.  Your new kernel will not be the default, you'll have to 
choose it on booting up.

Yes thats what I was afraid of.
You never said why you needed a kernel later than 2.6.5
Is there some kind of hardware support you need?

Hi Derek,

Thanks for kindly providing the above.
Seem some changes to install kernel has taken place in 10.1.
Downloaded the kernel. Required some dependencies. Downloaded that. Too many 
conflicts. Do not want to maybe cripple my system.
At least I tried.

[newbie] kernel updates and upgrading and so on

2004-09-11 Thread Hans-Cees Speel
Hi,

I have installed mandrake community 10.0 on my laptop dell inspiron 8600.

However, I want to update several things. One is the kernel, because the apci 
settings I need are not in the 10.0 kernel.

What will work:

- setting the urpmi to cooker or something, or 10.0 official release and updating to  
a newer kernel

I never really understood if you can just switch from community 10.0 to 10.0 official 
to cooker and so on by urpmi? Will things go wrong?

Also the rpm's on the internet of 10.0 community do not seem to change when 
security holes and so on are found. Is that correct? SAhould I use 10.0 offical for 
that?


- downloading latest 2.6xx kernel source from kernel.org or somewhere and 
compiling that? Will things go wrong if I do that?

If I would update by using a recent kernel source by Linus, must I also re-compile 
kde, or my nvidia drivers and so on?

Hope someone can explain this a bit.

I just realised you are looking for kernels later than 2.6.5
The update mirrors will not have anything later than 2.6.3
The mirrors for 10.1 have 2.6.8 kernels which may run OK in 10.0 but it cannot 
be guaranteed they will.

They are on the Mandrake update mirrors, but will not be installed 
automatically by Mandrake Update.

To install the latest kernel first run Mandrake Update
(Menu>System>Configuration>Packaging>MandrakeUpdate)

If this is the first time you have run it, it will ask you to select an update 
mirror from a list.

MandrakeUpdate will show you a list of available updates.
You should install at least the security alerts.
Running Mandrake Update will refresh your computers local copy of available 
kernels.

Now go to the Mandrake Install GUI at
Menu>System>Configuration>Packaging>InstallSoftware
and enter kernel in the search box. You will see a whole list of possible 
kernels. The latest kernel for a standard 10.0 system is
kernel-2.6.3.16mdk-1-1mdk.i586

Install the kernel.
New kernels are installed alongside existing kernels.  The new kernel will 
become the default boot kernel and a new boot menu item will allow you to 
boot the old kernel if you wish.


If you have an Nvidia graphics card and use the proprietary nvidia driver you 
will need to install kernel-source to match the new kernel and recompile the 
driver or else X will not work when you boot the new kernel.

There doesn't seem to me to be any disernable difference between running 
the one kernel and the other, it's just that the new kernel doesn't work.

Sorry, it was the 'Force no local APIC' box I checked, not acpi.

I had a similar problem moving from 2.6.3-7mdk to 2.6.3-14mdk (at least it 
appears similar).  Eth0 would take forever to load (and eventually fail).  
Ifconfig looked like all the network interfaces were in IPV6 mode.  My 
solution was to check the 'no acpi' box in the mcc boot config.  Never spent 
any time looking into it beyond that, but I did notice that ifconfig reports 
IPV6 information even on a non IPV6 network.  I suspect the nic hardware was

[newbie] Kernel 2.6 and 9.2

2004-06-21 Thread Drew Martin
Hi All,
I there a know problem with 9.2 and Kernel 2.6?
I installed 6.2 and boot into the system with no problems,until I tried to use 
K3B.The program would not start,so I used XKill to stop it.When I reboot, the 
info on the boot screen said I had not unmount my Home partition.
When I got into KDE the hard drive light stayed on,and the Teac CD-writer 
active light l stayed on,like I was using the drive.When I reboot again I 
received a string of error messages,about Home not been unmount.
I booted into Gnome and did not get the H/D or Writer problem,until I tried to 
use the writer again.So when I shut down the PC,i had the unmount problem 
again,when I went back to Gnome the problems above start again.

If you get this error when you are trying to boot your new kernel, then
you won't need to recompile the kernel, luckily. You just have to make
an initrd image file. To do this, boot into a useable kernel and open a
terminal as root. Type in the following command: "mkinitrd
/boot/initrd-.img ".  is
the directory in /lib/modules that contains the modules for the kernel
you compiled. When this command is done, edit your lilo.conf to use that
initrd image file.

image=/boot/bzImage-2.6.3
label="linux2.6.3"
root=/dev/hdc5
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.3.img
append="noapic nolapic devfs=nomount mem=nopentium hdb=ide-cd
hdd=ide-cd acpi=off"
vga=788
read-only

That for example is a stanza for a kernel I compiled. Run lilo and try
your new kernel again.

HTH,

You were right, the other links got updated during boot. Whew! Thanks. I was a 
little unnerved about my first kernel upgrade, but it couldn't have gone any 
smoother.

Yeah, I was just afraid it might trash something (since those links were 
pointing to the wrong files, I thought it might overwrite something in the 
old kernel). My mind's been poisoned by the Windoze world (I keep rebooting 
when I don't need to, just to be safe :^).

[newbie] Kernel upgrade

2004-05-03 Thread Ron Hunter-Duvar
Finally got updates working with 10.0 Official. I see a completely different 
list of mirrors now in Mandrake Update, so I guess they've finally 
straightened that mess out.

I updated my kernel from 2.6.3.7 to 2.6.3.9:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# urpmi.update -a
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# urpmi kernel-2.6.3.9mdk-1-1mdk
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# lilo -v

Now I have some questions. I have the following in /boot after the update:

...
 config -> config-2.6.3-7mdk
 config-2.6.3-7mdk
 config-2.6.3-9mdk
...
 initrd-2.6.3-7mdk.img
 initrd-2.6.3-9mdk.img
 initrd.img -> initrd-2.6.3-9mdk.img
 kernel.h -> /boot/kernel.h-2.6.3-7mdk
 kernel.h-2.6.3-7mdk
...
 System.map -> System.map-2.6.3-7mdk
 System.map-2.6.3-7mdk
 System.map-2.6.3-9mdk
...
 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.3-9mdk
 vmlinuz-2.6.3-7mdk
 vmlinuz-2.6.3-9mdk

You can see that the initrd.img and vmlinuz links have been updated. But 
config and System.map still point to the old files, even though new ones have 
been installed. Also, kernel.h doesn't even have a new version.

Now being my first kernel upgrade, and not knowing exactly what role these 
different files play, these inconsistencies scare me. What do the config and 
System.map files do? Why do I not have an updated kernel.h? 

Most importantly, is it safe to boot up to this new kernel with this 
configuration?

Any experienced kernel upgraders out there who can help me out?

Well, it seems the new kernel isn't installed. How did you try to 
install it ?  When I do it, I download the kernel into a directory, 
change into that directory and, as root, "urpmi kernelblabla.rpm. 
When finished, I edit lilo.conf, run lilo, done. If everything then 
works, I urpme the old kernel to save some space.

Did you inspect your /etc/lilo.conf file to see if a stanza was added for the 
new kernel? 

Did you do a lilo -v (you don't need the -v option, but I like to see what's 
going on as the config is processed) from a terminal as root after installing 
the new kernel, to write the new lilo to disk?

If you didn't do the above, and a stanza was properly added to your lilo.conf 
file when you installed the kernel, that's why it didn't show up in your lilo 
list of installed kernels.

It may be that your 'linux' option has had its pointer changed to the 
new kernel, so you don't see it.  I think that's what happened when I 
installed an additional one.  You will probably find that /boot/vmlinuz 
and /boot/initrd are linked to the new one.

Rory, in a terminal, type "uname -a" or take a look inside the 
drectory /boot. Better yet, edit (as root) your /etc/lilo.conf 
where you can change the default line to your new kernel. Don't 
forget to run lilo when done.

Interesting, Becasause yesterday, urpmi did prompt me to install 2.6.3-8mdk.  
So, I did, noting that people on this forum had said that you don't install 
kernals that way.  Everything seemed to go fine.  But now, I can't find 
2.6.3-8.  I don't know where it installed to and it hasn't appeared as an

Re: [newbie] Kernel 2.6.3-8 marked as "not available" in mirror?

2004-04-15 Thread Rick Kunath
Thanks for the tips on the kernel install. 

I have installed them many times. 

What was curious about the behavior of Mandrake Update in this case is that 
unlike the behavior in the past, the kernel source was never shown in the 
update list. In the past, whenever a new bugfix kernel was released, the 
kernel source would show up in the updates list, prompting the user to 
install it, then follow that with the installation of the appropriate kernel 
as you described. The presence of the kernel source was always a good flag 
that new kernels were available for installation.

That didn't happen this time.

The other curious thing is that the comments section of the description of the 
kernels and kernel source (2.6.3-8) read "not available". In the past, this 
section held a description of the kernel, and information as to the bugs 
corrected by the package. None of this information is there on these kernels. 

I'd like to know if these are valid kernels, were they released as bug fixes, 
and why they are described as "unavailable". There is something strange about 
these kernel packages.

Kernels are not "updated". They have to be "installed". Here is 
how :

1. When in a browser, right-click the kernel-2.6.3-8blah..blahh.rpm 
and choose "copy" to /home/rick/somedirectorywhatever.
2. Change into that directory, open a terminal, su to root, give 
root password.
3. Type : "urpmi kernel"(and now hit TAB)
4. If the output from that shows your desired kernel version, hit 
enter.
5. Enjoy all the hashes.
6.When the command prompt shows again, you are done.
7. If you want the new kernel as default, edit your /etc/lilo.conf 
(by changing the the "default" line to the new version).
8. Don't forget to run lilo afterwards.

[newbie] Kernel 2.6.3-8 marked as "not available" in mirror?

2004-04-14 Thread Rick Kunath
Why are the 2.6.3-8 kernel series present in the Proxad 10 official update 
directory, but are marked as "not available" in the comments section of 
Mandrake Update, though they are listed when doing a MCC update search?

The kernel source does not appear as either a bug update or a regular update 
in Mandrake Update.

It appears these are in the Update directory for 10, but are not available for 
installation for some reason.

Any ideas why?
