[newbie] New Kernel installation.
Hi all, i'm new to this list (I usually use the expert) because i think this Q doesn't qualify for the expert list. I have a laptop (doesn't have a brand, is assembled in a place here in Chile) that has ACPI support, but when i recompile the kernel with acpi support (i have 2.6.3-7mdk-i686-up-4GB) it doesnt work. (gives me the following line: No ACPI support in kernel, or incorrect acpi_path (/proc/acpi). So i want to know where can i download a kernel that is for mandrake, like, is there a place for downloading the kernel 2.6.11mdk (or something like that), the newest version, so i can use the WIFI also. Hope you can give me some directions Salu2 Gonzalo Avaria Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com

Well, OK it's not quite stock, I hand edited the .config (don't try that unless you know what you're doin. Use 'make xconfig') to enable K7 opts, and enable preempt, an more than 880MB ram support. None of the above ACPI options were changed. The =y are built in, the =m are modules (mostly for laptops). As long as I can remember, ACPI support is built into the kernel, even 2.2.x. Note CONFIG_ACPI=y There is no need to install anything or recompile Mandrake kernels to support ACPI (if the hardware truly does). Yes 2.6.11 does have better wifi support, but I only judge that from documentation and other's reports, not experience (I don't use wifi). You might try a cooker kernel and re-compile it on older systems. Get, ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake/devel/cooker/i586/media/main/kernel-source-2.6-2.6.11-6mdk.i586.rpm an don't forget to begin with 'make mrproper'. If you don't need to change the .config, then Edit Makefile, an change EXTRAVERSION = , an uncomment (enable) this line export INSTALL_PATH=/boot Im my above example, for instance I changed EXTRAVERSION to EXTRAVERSION = -6mdkK74g to denote, K7, preempt, and 1 gig ram support differences from the 'stock' .config make oldconfig make make modules_install make install Also make sure you don't have ACPI disabled. IOW's, there should be _no_ acpi statement in your boot parameters. Either lilo's append= line or in grub. Every acpi statement except =force will disable ACPI, either partially or completely. =on DNGN (does nothin, goes nowhere), ACPI is built into any Mandrake kernels as the default. If you do have a statement like acpi=ht remove it an don't forget to run 'lilo' You need not to make any changes to APM, as ACPI will overide it. You should also see extended IRQ support (above 15) with ACPI enabled.

Pete Mine is 2.6.8.1-24mdk Peter; Whichever kernel you go for, make sure you start by installing the 'kernel-source' version of the new kernel you want to install first. So, for example, if the kernel you want is kernel-2.6.8.1-24mdk, you would start by installing kernel-source-2.6-2.6.8.1-24mdk, then you would install your new kernel-2.6.8.1-24mdk, then run 'lilo -v', and then reboot the system selecting the new kernel in the process. Once you're satisfired that the new kernel is working fine, either edit your '/etc/lilo.conf' file manually or use the Boot Setup section of Mandrake Control Center (MCC) to set the new kernel as your default one. You can leave the old kernel installed, just in case, or you can remove it via the Remove Software section of MCC.

Now which one of these would I typically go for ? :-) It depends what your requirements are. If you are running Mandrake at home on a desktop PC, then the standard version as loaded by default should be fine. However, should you have special requirements such as extra security, or optimisation for many users, or if you have a multiprocessor machine, then you would have a need for different versions. SMP = Symmetrical Multi-Processing Enterprise = Optimised for larger organisations Secure = should be obvious, for firewall use, etc Normally the standard port of the kernel as supplied by Mandrake is suitable for all of those uses, anyway, but each variant is tweaked for more applicability to those areas. On some motherboards, the smp version works better(even if the mobo is single-processor). cheers Duncan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I think if you do a search for files named kernel-source they will appear in mcc (Have you found the software installer in mandrake control centre?) One problem you may have is that you need to know what kernel you are running 2.4 or 2.6 and also the patch number. This should be displayed when you boot the system, and in terminal windows. It will be something like 2.6.something with an mdk for mandrake on the end. The command uname run in a terminal will also display it for you. - I think it is uname -v but it may be uname -r, I cannot remember, sorry!

Throw in the cost of the external serial models and you might want to get one despite getting the winmodem to work, which is what I did. ...and is probably what I will end up doing as well, but I would really like to try to make this modem work, just so I can say that I did it...g Thanks again, Melissa Allen The kernel source can be installed using urpmi. I think if you do a search for files named kernel-source they will appear in mcc (Have you found the software installer in mandrake control centre?) One problem you may have is that you need to know what kernel you are running 2.4 or 2.6 and also the patch number. This should be displayed when you boot the system, and in terminal windows. It will be something like 2.6.something with an mdk for mandrake on the end. The command uname run in a terminal will also display it for you. - I think it is uname -v but it may be uname -r, I cannot remember, sorry! Make sure you install the kernel source that matches the version you are running! HTH Hugh An easy way to install the kernel source is to run urpmi $(uname -r). urpmi install the package. uname -r produces the kernel name you are running. Using $(commane) runs command and feads the output to into the command line just as if you had typed it.

[newbie] smp kernel

Well all I can say is it was not good for me. 75% of the time applications were segfaulting on me so I went with a regular kernel. Now I have installed Mandrake 10.1 yesterday and the default kernel it installed was 2.6.8.1-10mdksmp and I am happy to report it is running very well, I am very impressed with how things are working and want to say way to go Mandrake.

Wow. I'm running the SMP kernel on my 2.8GHz P4 laptop and it works great. I don't have much experience with it so far, but I haven't had a single problem with it.

It uses the same modules that the main kernel uses, so it is a small download (about 1.5MB), and it has menu icons and some other scripts to get it installed properly, so it is the best one to use.

That's OK, you seem to read and answer to this list on almost as many boxes as I sometimes do. g I'm sure Slack Ware modifies the Vanilla kernel to at least the same extent that Mandrake and all other distributions do, so I'm also certain there are incompatibilities between all of those distributions' kernels.

I'm stumped. Google turned this up for 'dsdt linux' http://www.linux.com/howtos/ACPI-HOWTO/dsdt.shtml For most all situation, Mandrake defaults to disabling ACPI. Most hardware has problems with it. The only thing you can do, AFAIK, is to try enabling it and see if it works. If if doesn't, you'll need somebody smarter than me to help, or give up. Generally, Google is your best friend. On my recently new motherboard (desktop), Mandrake used 'acpi=ht', which is pretty standard. It disables acpi, but allows for HT (hyper threading, which I don't have anyhow). I noticed tho in '/var/log/dmesg' that there were some boot warnings, 'somethin wants IRQ3, but gets IRQ5', and another, 'somethin about spurious IRQ7'. Thinkin ACPI had nothin to do with IRQ handling, and havin APIC enabled, I just ignored the mesgs for a while. Then I read somethin somewhere (Goggle search) that mentioned enabling ACPI to clear up those errors. I did and it did, and now going into and out of idle power suspend is much more reliable. It also cleared up a little occaisional scratchiness in alsa sound ouput (which I reckon was the IRQ3/5 deal). Anecdotal, but I suspect the Advanced Configuration part of ACPI, allows Advanced Programmable Interrupt Control (APIC), to fully do it's job (?). -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] 2.6 kernel help
I think I successfully compiled my own kernel. These are the steps I followed: 1. download kernel 2. move it to the directory /usr/src/linux-2.6.0 3. do a make xconfig, choose my options, save, close. 4. make all 5. make modules_install 6. cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-2.6.0 7. add lilo.conf entry: image=/boot/bzImage-2.6.0 label=linux2.6 root=/dev/hdc5 append=noapic acpi=off read-only 8. lilo When I reboot into the new kernel, it goes pretty far until it tries to mount the root fs. At this point it has an error: Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on /dev/hdc5 This is a ReiserFS filesystem, and ReiserFS was built into the kernel. Right before the error it seemed to be doing something with RAID, which I don't have. Thanks for any suggestions.

[newbie-it] kernel panic
Salve a tutti, ho abbattuto la mia linubox con MDK in una maniera degna di un deficiente, ho fatto una nuova partizione ext3 per installare un altro SO, solo che poi invece che riavviare con il CD di boot ho riavviato il PC normalmente e ho fatto partire MDK, meccanicamente. Risultato: all'avvio appare: Mounting root filesystem with flags noatime VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev ide0(3,7) mount error 22 mounting ext3 flags noatime well, retrying without the option flags ripete 2 volte queste righe in maniera pressappoco uguale, prova a montare il filesystem in read-only quindi il messaggio più terrificante: kernel panic: no init found try passing init= option to kernel Quindi: prima di tutto ho installato l'altro SO di modo da dare un senso a quella partizione Ext3 che avevo creato. Ora vorrei ripristinare MDK, direte voi: ce l'hai il floppy di boot con l'immagine del kernel per il recupero? NO ma posso accedere ai file di MDK da una Suse Live che funziona alla grande, se si trattasse di ripristinare alcuni valori nei files che operano nella fase doi boot del SO. Grazie Alfredo
