Posted: Mon Jul 24, 2006 10:12 am Post subject: Kernel-2.6.16-gentoo-r13 problems [SOLVED] |
|
|
Hello there,
when I boot Linux kernel 2.6.16-gentoo-r13 on my Fujitsu Siemens Amilo L 7310 laptop, I get loads of errors (and I simply can not get the framebuffer to work as it does on Pentoo, for example, which uses a different kernel version, namely: 2.6.16-gentoo-r7).

USB sticks and mice
I tried to add PCI=NOACPI to /boot/grub/grub.conf and then I can mount my USB sticks and my USB mouse works fine along with the Synaptics mousepad. Problem is that WiFi doesn' t work any longer that way because ath0 does not exist anymore although ath_pci is loaded ...
Xorg-7
I also noticed that my X finally works fine with the via drivers form Xorg-7 when I add this PCI statement to grub.conf (glxgears = 3349 frames in 5.0 seconds = 669.654 FPS). Without this statement glxgears = 1818 frames in 5.0 seconds = 363.551 FPS.

Added 04-08-2006:
The USB mouse (+ stick) related problems can be solved by simply adding:
... to grub.conf!!
Now everything works TOGETHER!

Hey, I can't really explain your problem. It may be a settings issue within the kernel that has been maybe enabled or not in the new kernel. But I do have a link where you can find other people who have installed linux on their Fujitsu laptops...all sorts of different models and what flavor of linux.
Go to... http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/fujitsu.html
Give that a try. When it comes to laptops a lot of models have the same chipset and parts in them.
Goodluck! _________________ AMD 64 X2 4400+ on ECS nForce4

|

Hi there Gentoo Bob,
this laptop just sucks and in spite of a BIOS upgrade [1.05 -> 1.08], there's still this buggy ACPI BIOS, which means: problems using USB sticks and mice together with WiFi.
I know the web site you mentioned, but the 7310 L isn't there (as usual) and the other latptops are all very different from mine (ATI graphics cards, etc.).
I already made much more progress too, by the way, than the guy who wrote the L 7300 guide (which is the only laptop that comes close to mine).
I have found out quite a few things and learned a lot. Thanks to you all.
I will update this page asap:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-436534-highlight-amilo+7310.html because
there is not much info on installing Gentoo on this kind of laptop.
I now have an almost completely working Amilo 7310 L laptop (Gentoo 2006.0, kernel 2.6.17-r4):
- sound works well (via82cx AC97) most of the time but I had to add ACPI=FORCE to grub.conf otherwise I get KDE errors (sound server has crashed) and no KDE system sounds at all although mplayer does work in that situation
- X-org 7-r1 (via driver) works well (modeline 1280x800 + glxgears = 700 fps)
- WiFi works (ath0 / wpa_supplicant + madwifi-ng) well
- Synaptics touchpad works well (+ horiz. and vert. scroll) but it may stop working after the laptop has gone into suspend mode
- framebuffer works (finally!!): 1024x768
Cheers and also many thanks to the Pentoo people! _________________ "RTFM!", the Gentoo Guru said, "although you shouldn't pay too much attention to the guides because they're all extremely outdated..." -- I like that kind of absurd humour! |
