2.5.68

The most reliable suggestion I have is to compile your required driver as a module then add the name of your driver to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.5.

It will insert the snd module appropriately.

I'm running 2.4.20, 2.4.20-g2 and 2.5.68 (multiple booting) on two systems now. After you do:

# emerge development-sources
# emerge module-init-tools

your /etc/modules stuff is basically set up for supporting differently named modules for the same device.

Rather nice actually.

Hi i just tried the mm1 of 2.5.68, but check kv of the nvidia-kernel still points to /usr/src/linux instead of /usr/src/linux-beta.
Already tried some symlinks and the solutions that were pointed out after the nvidia-kernel did not emerge.
Does any1 have any idea?
I have also tried editing the ebuild but i can't find the kv=/usr/src/linux

Why don't you just point /usr/src/linux-2.5.68-mm1 to /usr/src/linux?

That's what I do :roll:

(btw mm2 is already out)

*edit
Ok ln -sf /usr/src/linux-2.5.68-mm2 /usr/src/linux did the trick mm2 works fine now

I used the elevator=cfq also that is too improve desktop behaviour right?
Now i need to fix the sound i compiled it in the kernel(standard emu10k1 card) but xmms seems to work only a hard beep is the result

mm-sources-2.5.68-mm2 fixes the cdrom block stuff.

Ok i compiled the sound support+alsa support+plus the emu10k1 in the kernel, emerge alsa-driver fails to compile(which is normal i think).
But when i start xmms it can see it playing but i don't hear sound.
I tried the alsamixer en kmix(which displays nothing) but i think it needs unmuting?
I just tried amixer set Master 100 unmute&&amixer set PCM 100 unmute but that didn't help.

*edit:

xmms console output:

Rick@T|_|X Rick $ xmms

** WARNING **: Buffer time reduced from 500 ms to 371 ms

seems normal..

Oh and i tried this 2:

Rick@T|_|X Rick $ grep audio /proc/pci
grep: /proc/pci: No such file or directory
Rick@T|_|X Rick $

And kde infocenter can't find my sound card??

How can I check that the kernel is receiving its commands from grub config correctly? I have vga=791 and elevator=cqf, but it uses the a.s. evelavator and ignores my fbcon stuff. Using 2.5.68-mm2

2.5.68-mm2 works great. I can defiantly tell a difference. Although I couldn't get my onboard broadcom 4401 card working because it wouldn't obtain an ip via dhcpcd. I just poped in a trust old 3com and its been great. Also they change a few module names arround on me, that was somewhat annoying, for example usb-ochi changed to ochi-hcd. Also my cdrom works fine, I'm playing audio cd off it right now. Alsa works but I have to unmute it everytime I boot, guess I'll just make an init script, unless anyone knows a cleaner way.

*edit:OSS API emulation(with the /dev/mixer options) worked
For a dev-kernel it sure runs bloody fast though

Woooohooo It works thx

2.5.68-mm2 works fine for me too, but my only problem is xmms skipping while browsing the network. This is sorts annoying as I can't listen to my favorite music while reading news on the network. Anyone found a solution to this yet ? (Using cfq elevator).

regards

As was pointed out early on in the thread, you need to add:

devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0

to your /etc/fstab file for pts support.

rp-pppoe or ppp aparently relies on pts. Therefore, if your want to do:

# adsl-start

you need to have pts properly mounted first.

saw a cool article about the 2.6.* kernels...anyone know how close they are to being on the ~x86 tree?

iamarug · Apprentice Joined: 09 Feb 2003 Posts: 220

well, if you are asking when 2.6 will come out, I think I saw a thread somewhere around these forums that said june?

I also have the choppy mp3 problem, on a 2.4 GHz p4.

I noticed X going to 99% cpu when dragging windows around, might be because I'm using the nv driver (nvidia was unstable, lockup when logging out etc.)

edit: Nevermind, I think it's a problem with net-rhythmbox. xmms gives me some strange noise on some mp3s. I'm running zinf now, which doesn't jump audio or have flawed sound. Only problem I have with zinf is that I have to have two windows open if I want to see my playlist.
