Hello,
following Robert's advice (thanks alot!), I removed the VENDOR line because
that string is empty in my DMI info.
So what remains is:
{
.ident = "PC-81005",
.matches = {
DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "PC-81005"),
Update: someone else (Zhenyu Wang) had the same idea:
http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/83555/
This conflicts (same ident!) with the patch from above that Greg Kroah-
Hartman applied on 19 Feb 2010: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/2/19/249
How about leaving out the vendor match? When I google for "PC-8
Damn, doesn't work :-(
I also changed the ident string of course. Built a new kernel, initrd,
booted all that stuff, no change. The netbook's screen turns black and
that's it. I connected an external TFT via VGA, this works just fine.
And boots blazingly fast!
Info from 'dmidecode -d /dev/mem' is
I have installed the kernel sources from ppa and I see my netbook is
already mentioned, although with a different vendor name (starting at
line 632):
{
.ident = "PC-81005",
.matches = {
DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "MALATA"),
I seem to have the same problem, also a netbook, i945GME, no screens
found. I can only boot with nomodeset, Lucid Lynx up-to-date as of
today, kernel is 2.6.32-16-generic from ppa.launchpad.net/apw/red/
How do I get the DMI values?
The netbook is called "Datacask Jupiter 1014a", it's an OEM machi
