I'm having trouble compiling vmware modules for this kernel. When I run vmware-config.pl, it dies with this error:
| Code: | What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
The kernel defined by this directory of header files does not have the same
address space size as your running kernel. |
I have verified that I really did boot the right kernel, and that /usr/src/linux is symlinked to the right source tree. I suspect this is related to the new memory layout options in -ck2. My machine has only 512MB of RAM, so I left all the extra memory settings at the defaults (3G/1G split, high mem support disabled, and flat memory model). Is that right? |

Yeah but it seems just the vmsplit patch being there breaks vmware compiling. |

when i digest archck-sources-2.6.15-r2.ebuild it fails because of error 404 not found... its is looking to download patch-2.6.15-archck2.6.15.bz2 but it doesnt exist. what does exist is patch-2.6.15-archck2.bz2 so the ebuild needs some modifiying. ciao

I provide a patch in newest nitro thread to revert back to 1G lowmem config instead of memsplit, that lets
vmware script work again

I wonder why I didn't have these problems with that ebuild. |

Awesome. Thanks.
Note to other archck+vmware users, you have to replace all instances of "init/Kconfig.nitro" with "arch/i386/Kconfig" to get the patch to apply to a non-nitro kernel.
LoSeR_5150: You have an ebuild named with "-r" in the version number where it's expecting to find "_p" or vice versa. Rename the ebuild and try again. |

For the vmware users, just patch vmware-config.pl (what you've always had to do with the 1g kernel option.) -- don't mutilate the new memory configuration since there is nothing wrong with them... it's the vmware configurator. (remove/comment: return '';)
| Code: | --- vmware-config.pl.orig 2006-01-17 16:10:14.400885920 -0700
+++ vmware-config.pl 2006-01-09 15:29:29.958487280 -0700
@@ -1979,7 +1979,7 @@
. 'not have the same address space size as your running '
. 'kernel.' . "\n\n", 0);
}
- return '';
+# return '';
}
} |
that way... it'll give the error, but will continue on. I have 2.6.15-archck2 on 3 boxes.. all running vmware, two of them use the 3g/1g (1g mem replacement).
For the issues with archck2 ebuilds, don't just bump the "-r1" ebuild to "-r2"... grab the "_p2" (this is a kernel patchset, right?) from bugzilla. I've used the _p2 ebuild on 3 machines so far. |

| Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2006 1:29 pm Post subject: About the radeon sleep fix |
|
|
Just a word about the radeonfb sleep fix that iphitus has kindly included in his kernel. This fix allows anyone owning a radeon card in a non-ppc architecture to have correct sleep states, without improper energy comsumption. You obtain this result only if you use the fb with the radeonfb driver (not with the vesafb or vesafb-tng). The patch is activated by default only on certain ibm thinkpad laptops, but is useful on many, many other laptops models (included my compaq presario 2100, for example): for these other models the patch has to be activated with a specific kernel boot parameter: | Code: | | video=radeonfb:force_sleep=1 |
You can find many infos and a detailed discussion about this fix (which should be included in a future vanilla kernel) here: http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3022
A less techinical (but mainly related to fedora kernels) outline of the problem is here:

Now, this one is working great here. Thanks a lot as usual iphitus!
Just in case, if anyone experience strange bad pages messages in the log, they may be related to alsa. Upgrade to alsa-driver-1.11rcX to solve it. |

2.6.14-archck5 gave me a nice 30 day uptime until I screwed up with some keyboard settings yesterday and had to reboot. So far this new kernel seems even better than the previous. And, unlike I feared, it works perfectly with the current version of udev (070-r1 [I see 079 has been marked stable]), nvidia (1.0.8174-r1) and alsa (1.0.10 [no alsa-drivers]) stuff. Good job Iphitus!
[edit: I had to update udev to the latest stable to fix the incompatibility with the new kernel changes]
I did reverse a part of the ck-patches, though, as I had done with my previous kernel. Namely, I removed all memory and swap related patches, leaving mostly just the schedulers and dynticks.
For me, ck cause a lot of swap trashing. I still get some swapping, but with the full ck-patches the mouse and sound would freeze for a few seconds while the system was busy swapping stuff in. Removing Con's memory patches so far hasn't seemed to cause any instabilities.

That patch was released on the 19th. The most recent Archck came out on the 16th. It stands to reason that Archck is not using a patch that just came out yesterday.
However, I do believe Archck is using the Reiser4 files pulled from the -mm tree, which should be pretty up to date.

Yup, you'll probably find the patches are pretty similar as the reiser4 devs would have backported from their mm patches too. |
