 Posted: Fri Mar 15, 2024 8:29 am Post subject: startx gives a segmentation fault |
 |
|
I have done a full installation of gentoo on an iMac G3, the 500mHZ model with 512 MB of ram.
However, after rebooting, X11 fails to start with a segmentation fault.
Here's the Xorg.0.log:

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you need linux-firmware for the R128 drivers to function.
And based on the google searches I did you have to use a linux kernel earlier than 6.3 as the rage 128 has been removed from 6.3 and newer kernels.
If you are using gentoo-sources you have to go back to: gentoo-sources-6.1.81
I have no idea if any of this will work. It's an old card...

Linux-firmware is already installed.
And how would I go back to an older kernel? |

I may have a lead.
VIDEO_CARDS="amdgpu radeonsi" is for newer GPUs, not for one from the 2000s.
So I switched it to VIDEO_CARDS="radeon r100", which should be the correct arguments for a Rage 128 graphics card.
I'll update after this finishes compiling, likely overnight. |

You can just clone any old versions of the kernel and as long as its folder has prefix linux- you will be able to select it with eselect kernel and build with genkernel --menuconfig kernel
For kernel source you can use official linux.org repository, find old ebuild for Gentoo or maybe even try something more specifically tuned for PowerPC.
I have not played with Linux/Gentoo on my eMac G4 and PowerMac G5 Dual yet but it is somewhere in queue of Linux/retro projects. What I was wondering about is maybe it might make sense to snatch kernel from Fienix Linux http://fienixppc.blogspot.com/ as its modern distro which specifically focuses on old PowerPC platforms so it might have fixes and improvements for PPC. You might also want/need to get patches for specific software as there are at times issues with endianess and guys who run such distros make patches. It is possible to re-apply those patches when compiling programs from source.
That said it might not be necessary. Not sure how well maintained is PowerPC arch on Gentoo's side.

I may have some form of lead, since I'm compiling everything on the Mac so maybe some amount of compiling fails. I mainly notice this because sometimes it compiles a kernel that doesn't boot.
There's also this line in dmesg every time I try to start anything with graphics, such as X or lightdm:
| Code: |
Invalid PCI ROM header signature: expecting 0xaa55, got 0x8181

0x8181 sounds like a floating bus to me. That means the ROM is not actually enabled which in general is a driver issue.
Did you switch to an old kernel? Have you figured out where the Rage 128 firmware comes from? (assuming it needs it).
Part of the problem with this is that it's on a MAC. I'm not certain any of this was tested on a MAC, have you googled what you are doing to see if anyone else got any distribution running on a similar machine? Generally everyone tries Ubuntu on just about everything at some point. You might get clues.

Make sure your kernel does not have any console graphics drivers enabled. That driver might be stealing the bus from the X driver.

Just_Endie,
Please install wgetpaste, its a small bash script.
Use it to share your /usr/src/linux/.config by posting the URL.
Your output will be good too.
Lastly, what does tell?
The 6.1.x kernel is a long term support kernel. The current stable version is 6.1.81 which will support your GPU.
If you package.mask >=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-6.2.0 then the 6.1 series will still get updates for you.
