2007-07-15 Thread Erik Osheim
I don't use RHEL much, but I do know that you have to configure your kernel to support more than 2GB of RAM if your kernel is 32bit. If you're using the stock RHEL kernel, then that is probably the problem. You should check for something like 'CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G' in your kernel config (which might b

[Mactel-linux-users] mbp timing issue back for patched 2.6.22 kernel

2007-06-15 Thread Erik Osheim
Hello, So, I'm sure some of you remember that on 2.6.19 and 2.6.20 kernels, sometimes the root device would not be found and the kernel would panic. For me, this problem went away when I upgraded to 2.6.21-rc6. However, after upgrading to 2.6.22-rc3 with the mactel patches, this issue has come ba

As far as I can tell, you need to use fglrx with the C2D MBP since the free radeon driver does not support the Radeon Mobility X1600 card. I would love to stop using fglrx, since it makes s2ram pretty annoying (I have to stop X before suspending). If you have any luck with another video driver for

Just to follow up: after upgrading to 2.6.21_rc6 (patched) I have not seen this problem. I think this is consistent with what other people on this list have noticed. Thus, it seems like upgrading is the correct way to "fix" this problem. -- Erik On Sun, Apr 08, 2007 at 11:10:21AM -

To dovetail on this post: While in general my MBP C2D "works" the kernel does panic about every 5th reboot or so with "root device not found." But the other 4/5 of the time things work fine. I see this under 2.6.19 and 2.6.20. Do other people see this? -- Erik On Sun, Apr 08, 2007 at 07:46:57AM

[Mactel-linux-users] what does mactel-patches-2.6.20 apply to?

2007-04-02 Thread Erik Osheim
So, I am currently running 2.6.19.7 + mactel patches. I am trying to patch a 2.6.20 kernel, but no matter which versions I try, I get an error about patches not applying correctly. My mactel-linux checkout is up-to-date as of now, and I have tried 2.6.20.[1-4] so I'm not sure what the problem is.

I have had a lot of success using HFS+ filesystems with the journal disabled. You can actually turn journaling on and off in OS X using (I think) diskutil, without having to create a new filesystem. I have also heard that writing to HFS+ without turning the journal off is the kiss of death. I hav

My guess is that something in your kernel or your configuration is causing it; I have been running Gentoo on a Mini for awhile and never noticed it going to sleep without me telling it to. Try compiling your own kernel, and/or checking out your ACPI set up. I imagine that maybe acpid is telling t
