 Posted: Tue Oct 04, 2005 7:23 pm Post subject: ACPI/bootmisc borked after baselayout update [partial fixed] |
 |
|
(wasn't sure where to post this, but since it could be kernel-related I started the thread here!)
Hello gentoo-ers! 
Need some advice on getting my laptop back into running order.
Issues:
1- fan and cpu/batt/gpu temp sensors gone after baselayout update!!
2- bootmisc is an empty file after baselayout udpate!!
3- ibm-acpi is no longer functional either!
Background: wifi installation ... uncalled-for baselayout update fubar-ed everything!
I'm running an IBM T42 and installed Gentoo last week without many problems. I'm tackling one piece of hardware at a time to get everything on my laptop running right. Yesterday was a day for Wifi! I did like this:
| Code: |
# emerge ipw2200 ipw2200-firmware
|
Everything emerged well, in fact I was surprised to see 5 packages emerging instead of just the two. After the emerge I did a etc-update as requested without really reading the warnings (I already kicked myself a few times for that). Thing is none of the config files were backed up either!!
Result:
Well, lo and behold, on re-boot I have three problems now:
1- fan and temp no longer existent in /proc/acpi .... the folders are there, but nothing inside
2- my bootmisc (/etc/init.d) is an empty file. I get ERRORs on bootup
3- ibm-acpi is no longer functional at all - fn keys (like sleep fn-F3) are non-responsive
I need some help with the fan/thermal and ibm-acpi issues. Not quite sure where to start. I looked through the various conf files but can't find anything wrong (except for fan and thermal being empty folders in /proc/acpi)
Here's what I did so far
1) fan/temp issue:
I re-emerged "acpid" and ibm-acpi after I noticed this whole ACPI-related problem. No change!
I still can't get the fan and temp stuff working again. Recompiled the kernel and all and still nothing. My ACPI is built into the kernel (*) - not modules like so:
| Code: |
# Power management options (ACPI, APM)
#
CONFIG_PM=y
# CONFIG_PM_DEBUG is not set
# CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND is not set
#
# ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support
#
CONFIG_ACPI=y
CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT=y
CONFIG_ACPI_INTERPRETER=y
CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP=y
CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP_PROC_FS=y
CONFIG_ACPI_AC=y
CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY=y
CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=y
CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO=y
CONFIG_ACPI_FAN=y
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=y
CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=y
# CONFIG_ACPI_ASUS is not set
CONFIG_ACPI_IBM=m
CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA=m
CONFIG_ACPI_BLACKLIST_YEAR=0
# CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_ACPI_BUS=y
CONFIG_ACPI_EC=y
CONFIG_ACPI_POWER=y
CONFIG_ACPI_PCI=y
CONFIG_ACPI_SYSTEM=y
CONFIG_X86_PM_TIMER=y
CONFIG_ACPI_CONTAINER=m
|
2) /etc/init.d/bootmisc issue:
Regarding /etc/init.d/bootmisc can I replace that file with a generic file (or was it somehow tweaked with the installation of other packages over time?)
... bad, bad baselayout!!

you can see what was emerged together with the ipw-stuff by looking into the /var/log/emerge.log
maybe this helps on localising the error. here's my bootmisc for a start | Code: | #!/sbin/runscript

Ah ... yes!
Thanks very much for the bootmisc file. That worked without a hitch.
Indeed I peeked into the emerge.log file as one of the first efforts at troubleshooting after the problems arose. Didn't show all that much information, except that a package called "baselayout" was installed along with others (all files emerged: ipw2200, ipw2200-firmware, ieee80211, wireless tools, and baselayout). Problem is the etc-update after that emerge. There were some 14 files (conf mostly) that were "updated" and that messed up my gentoo 
Since that fateful emerge I fixed the following by editing the appropriate conf files:
- localhost name was changed to default - changed it back
- fix rc.conf to fix login manager (back to gdm) - setting was changed to default xdm
- fix alsasound and alsa issues (alsaconf seemed to do the trick)
- fix consolefont in init.d (content was missing like bootmisc)
- fix resolv.conf - messed up
- fix /etc/modules.d/aliases - prior entries were auto-removed
.... there were other changes that baselayout made that broke up my ibm-acpi and kernel config.
I tried re-emerging tpb (thinkpad buttons = required for fn keys to work), ibm-acpi and acpid, but no dice. I think I'll remove those packages altogether, then attempt to do it all over again. Thing is I can't really remember how I got it all working happily together. Suspend-to-ram, among other features are quite important to me as I move around a lot.
Anycase, thanks for your help. At least I got the bootmisc back.
status:
partial fix = 1- fan still not showing up in /proc/acpi.... fixed temp sensors by kernel recompile
fixed = 2- my bootmisc (/etc/init.d/bootmisc) was empty - used above code - no problems
3- ibm-acpi is no longer functional at all - fn keys (like sleep fn-F3) are non-responsive |

This is for fn+<F1,2,3...> buttons:
| Code: |
echo ffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey
echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey
|
And for the fan issue I can just tell, that I have a IBM R51 and I never had fan information from acpi. |

That's enabled. I tried to re-trace my steps in installing tpb, ibm-acpi and acpi to get all those packages to work with each other, but nothing doing. As for the fan I never had fan control, but I did have a fan RPM output through ACPI (built into the kernel). Now, I can't seem to get that to work anymore. This is getting a bit frustrating, but there are many more things to keep setting up on my lappy to keep me ... er.. happy 
I might just remove all ACPI, ibm-acpi and tpb instances on my machine and restart to see where that gets me.
Thanks for the thought!
*edit* by the way I'm running kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 stage 3 install - perhaps ACPI support is different in your kernel? |

I'm running this: suspend2-sources-2.6.13-r4
This is the relevant part for acpi in my kernel config:
| Code: |

CONFIG_ACPI=y
CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT=y

I have ibm-acpi module in the kernel. And the buttons are working with acpi_listen. I'm too lazy to write the acpi scripts for it  |

| hmmm... first thing I noticed is that you use the stock kernel ibm_acpi. If nothing else works, I'll try that next. Didn't know about "acpi_listen" - that may be worthwhile to get things running until I figure out what's wrong with the scripts/config files. Thanks again. Keep you posted. |
