 Posted: Sun Aug 15, 2004 12:33 pm Post subject: problems with gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8 |
 |
|
I just installed kernel 2.6.8 (gentoo-dev-sources), using 'make oldconfig'. Everything seemed to compile and install cleanly.
After booting into 2.6.8, I noticed two things:
(1) No bootsplash. This patch seems missing.
(2) My Windows-filesystems (VFAT) cannot be mounted. This seems to happen only when I am booting 2.6.8; when I boot 2.6.7 everything works fine. Could this be connected with the new FAT codepage setting in 2.6.8? I just used the default.
Anyone noticed these too? Suggestions?
All help will be appreciated! |

Same here,
I'm using udev, k3b doesn't pick up on my cd-burner, that's with gentoo-dev-sources and vanilla 2.6.8. 2.6.7 was fine. |

I have the same problem, however it is not just k3b. Neither cdrecord or growisofs will work under 2.6.8. |

About the bootsplash:
Hm. Should have read the changelog... 
About the VFAT thing:
Okay. Keep using 2.6.7 for now. 
About the K3b thing:
K3b doesn't complain when it starts up (using devfs). But I have no DVD's to burn for now. So I wouldn't know. One more reason to keep using 2.6.7 for the time being. |

hello. Gone back to 2.6.7 ... I love bootsplash 
Although I didn't get to test cd-burning, I was able to mount my fat32 drive (at least, via fstab, that is). I guess I'll be waiting for a more mature release of 2.6.8. |

Does this Build already contain the fix of 2.6.8.1 ?
Btw: What is this fix about ?
I only read something about NFS, so I wonder what the hell is NFS ?  |

It's contained.
NFS is network filesystem.. 
I'm testing 2.6.8... having problems with alsa-driver emerged...

NFS = Network File System. It's away of mounting a disk from a different machine over a network. It's useful for things like keeping a common home directory over several different machines.
Not sure what was broken but apparently 2.6.8.1 fixes it. If you don't use NFS (I'm sure you'd know if you do) I think this is a non-issue.
More details about NFS here:

Alright, so I assume that NFS is a feature that "normal" users like me don't use, right ?
**EDIT**
Thanks to arthurtech, I can now compile the new kernel without worrying about some silly bug

Why not using Alsa Drivers included in kernel 2.6.x ... i found that using the alsa-driver package breaks hardware mixing support for my machine, so try kernel included ones.
best regards
ps: bootsplash is woking, but i have to find out how to set them automatically on all screens ... and how to make this initramfs working before all filesystems are mountet .
