First time nitro user, compile went fine, but during boot total messup:

After "Mounting local filesystems..." suddently my screen starts filling up with the "%" sign, it keeps going and going as if that key would stuck on my keyboard. The boot-process is going on normally, but I can't log in of course this way, due to the "%" signs, which are still comming up at the login prompt. Besides this problem, the keyboard is definitely working, and also I can not enter anything of use, I still can control+alt+del to reboot. Pretty weird, isn't it?

I used the same .config file, like I do with 2.6.9-rc1-love1 and 2.6.9-rc1-mm3, but those are fine.

This machine has nforce2 chipset, using reiser4, and it's a MS Wireless Natural Multmedia Keyboard.

Anyone else experiencing such a strange keyboard behavior?

Have to go back to 2.6.9-rc1-love1, until a solution is found.


me too.no "%" sign fill,but also can't type anything.intel 865 chipset, using reiser4.

it's not ready for the real world :lol:
no, truly it's still an alpha version and i don't wanna to erase your system file ;) anyway when we are ready i pubblic it :)

features:
- compile kernel with possibility to configure all package to emerge after a new kernel compile
- erase an existent kernel (from grub, /boot/ and /usr/src)
- benchmark it, with super_pi, keep on the results.

and more and more :)

all in bash + python, but i'd like to create a gui :)

Any chance of including the newest alsa-bk? I patched it manually and it all went very smoothly. ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/kernel-patches/

I can reliably kill this kernel whenever I want by telling an ncurses application to redraw itself with Ctrl-L, like centericq. Instantly and completely hardlocks.

I didn't say that there were improvements, I said that the patching went smoothly. If you want the changelog, go find the additions in alsa 1.0.5 and alsa 1.0.6.

In short, the bk updates alsa from 1.0.4 to 1.0.6a.

I tried the most basic ncursus app: menuconfig, but couldn't confirm this bug...

I couldn't get it to lock up using kismet or menuconfig.

Anyway, much more stable than 2.6.8-nitro6 (The last nitro I was running), I used to lose wireless(ipw2100/intel 2100) often in 2.6.8-nitro6, had to downgrade to nitro5. Kept getting these from dmesg:
Code:

osl-0895 [35641] os_wait_semaphore     : Failed to acquire semaphore[cffacda0|1|0], AE_TIME


But now it seems as if it's going to behave:) Good work gentlemen!

Yeah, still keeps happening here, though it's not really a big deal anyways since I very rarely ever have to try to refresh a console app anyways.

I'm glad to see my previous problem with the nitro kernels oopsing whenever I use emerge is gone. Looking pretty good.

The kernel works great; I compiled it yesterday and started running it. However, I recently restarted and 1 hour and 40 minutes after starting up, the keyboard stopped working. Unplugged it and plugged it back in, still unresponsive :cry:

ditto :( ...back to -mm3 for now.

Remove that old orinoco driver by getting the patch and diff -R ing it then apply this patch http://www.ozlabs.org/people/dgibson/dldwd/orinoco-0.15rc2.tar.gz If you get failed hunks look at the .rej and hack away

not to insult your knowledge, but this means you have tried it with the vanilla 2.6.9 kernel and it doesnt happen?

im only inquiring because i cannot reproduce this bug

The orinoco monitor mode patches for .13e does not work anymore. If you truely need monitor mode, you can build external modules with the drivers nmcsween linked. When I made nitro4 (was it 4? or 3?) I used CVS drivers because the patch doesn't apply, even if you fix the rej. it craps when you compile.

Seppe, i'll make you a diff for the cvs orinoco drivers so you can use it in the next release.

/me downloads this nitro..

I tried it on 2.6.9, 2.6.9-rc1, 2.6.9-rc1-mm2.. works fine under all of them. It's not a big deal though. No one else seems to be having a problem with it and I just seem to pull out the worst in some kernels. :)

It works perfectly for me until it tries to get my ip through dhcp, then it just sits there...until I reboot. Any ideas? I configured it same as I have all my other nitro kernels and this is the first one.

Just incase it helps, I use the 3c59x one. I think it says "Vortex/Boomerang" or something in the config.
