CooSee, please: rm /usr/portage/distfiles/*emission*; emerge emission-sources

Also please remove the percent line because it's making the page real wide.

If you got the ebuild via evmgr, please do not post here. Please post on our forums. This thread is for the kernel and ebuild, not part of the E-Mission overlay.

Hi,

I get the following error while trying to compile

nesl247 · Veteran Joined: 15 Jun 2004 Posts: 1614 Location: Florida

Try compiling without suspend or suspend2 support. I see the problem, but I'll need vipernicus' help.

sobers_2002 · Veteran Joined: 16 Mar 2004 Posts: 1128

I don't have either of the two being used :cry:

Ok only thing I don't like is that it doesn't come with the default config, I mean when I'm going to compile my kernel (gentoo-sources or ck-sources) it opens with a default vanilla kernel config with just the default options selected, in emmision-sources there are some other options selected and some default not selected. Why I complian about this cause I normally make menuconfig and select fast what I need and deselect the little things I don't, the emission way I have to go trhough reading a lot of stuff. And I don't like to use make oldconfig either. So is there a way for when I use make menucinfig to have the default vanilla options selected?

Hi, my "relatory" of sucesses and failures:

Everything here compiled nicely and runs wihout any apparent problem.
I go with Staircase. I used make oldconfig using emission4 to get the same options i use there and have accept all default proposition for features.

No problem neither with nvidia driver nor fbsplash/vesafb (didn't try vesafb-tng...)

Suspend2 seemed to go ok too, but didn't work.
It always stop at 2/3 of the last step with the frozen message:
"Doing atomic copy..." It freeze with both suspend2ui_fbsplash and suspend2ui_text.

I tried turn off some things that other older kernels sometimes had errors, but suspend2 continued to freeze.
1st i turned off 'Support for prefetching swapped memory' then off with 'CFQ I/O scheduler' (i use Deadline as the default scheduler) that once give me problems, but problem didn't go away.
I realize by then that 'Support processor vendors' have all selected. Don't know if this is important so it turn all off leaving only 'Support Intel processors' enabled (P4 here), but that haven't no effect on suspend2 frooze.

hope that have any use in debug/improve this kernell. Looks promissing.

Your kernel compiles fine and boots too, but...
I can't compile modules with this kernel. The source directory is deleted when i do make in it. All files are deleted. This is with source for ltmodem,r8180 wireless card and ndiswrapper.

cheater1034: Thanks, I though this wasn't default and I see the defaults have changed since 2.6.17 vabilla so thanks again for pointing it out. :wink:
