 Posted: Sun Feb 06, 2005 2:09 am Post subject: xorg broken with new kernel compiled by gcc 3.3.5 |
 |
|
A few weeks ago I did an `emerge -uDav world`, during which gcc was upgraded from 3.3.4 to 3.3.5. After that upgrade, I attempted to ugrade from my current kernel (linux-2.4.26-gentoo-r6) from to a more current kernel (linux-2.4.26-gentoo-r14) compiled with gcc v3.3.5. After rebooting to that kernel, I could not start Xorg, using nvidia-kernel as my display driver. What I experienced was a complete lockup of my system, where the nvidia splash screen became very distorted.
I've attempted several remedies, though I'm not entirely sure what the problem is. I take it to be a problem with the difference in gcc versions. Each of the following attempted solutions to run Xorg on the 2.4.26-gentoo-r14 failed with the same result as described above.
* On the thought of the gcc version being the issue, I booted to the new kernel, re-emeged Xorg, nvidia-kernel, and nvidia-glx with gcc 3.3.5.
* Having read that the current versions of nvidia are buggy, I unmerged nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx, masked the current versions and re-emerged to the 6.1111 versions.
* Having read that some of the modules for nvidia-kernel were troublesome, I I attempted to start X with those modules commented out - dri, speedo, first individually then together.
Here's all my relevant software versions:
| Code: | media-video/nvidia-kernel 1.0.6629-r1
media-video/nvidia-glx 1.0.6629-r1
media-video/nvidia-settings 1.0.6629
x11-base/xorg-x11 6.8.0-r4
sys-devel/gcc 3.3.5-r1

I can't find anything in /var/log/Xorg.0.log or /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old files that would appear to have anything to do with this.
If anyone could please help, it'd be greatly appreciated.

| Try commenting the reference to the speedo fonts in your Xorg.conf file as well as the line with "dri". Also, in the nvidia section, comment everything but the Driver, NvAGP, and FlatPanel lines. You also don't need the BusID section I believe. |

I have not. I just looked at the script, and the awk script it references, /lib/rcscripts/awk/fixlafiles.awk. I really can't make heads or tails of what that awk file is going to do. What will be the impact if I run this? I'm afraid it might not fix my problem and after running it I would be unable to run X with the older kernel.

You should try updating Xorg since a new version came out a few days ago in portage (6.8.2). I'm not sure if a relevant issue has been solved, but this is still worth trying...
Also, could you run gcc-config -l and paste the printout here? |

You should always run fix_libtool_files.sh after upgrading gcc - or you'll have problems with compiling stuff. See the different threads here (search for fix_libtool_files.sh).
PS Sorry for my english - I have slept only several hours today, so it's very hard to think.
