 Posted: Tue Aug 15, 2006 11:59 am Post subject: Need help configuring kernel[ solved ] |
 |
|
I've been trying, without much success, to install Gentoo along side Windows XP. One problem I run up against is configuring the kernel. Most of the hardware, etc. in my system does not seem to be listed in the configuration menu and I'm not sure which drivers to use. I'm posting the output of running lspci. If anyone has done this or knows which drivers to use I'd sure appreciate the help. | Code: | 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporatin Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML and 945GT Express Memory Controller Hub (rev 03)

What I particularly need to know is what to use for the IDE chipset and Audio controller, there is a Broadcom option in the kernel configuration menu.
Thanks very much,

The generic sata controllers should handle your ide interfacing, as for the audio I believe that you need the intel hd audio option. If that fails try the generic AC'97 drivers they may also work.
Alternatively if you really are stuck, boot with the install cd again, and run lsmod, see which mosules it is using and find them in the kernel config.

Hello, first of All, you need to have all your hardware specification before configuring your Kernel.
So for your configuration :
Has fare as I know, you have a Intel Chipset,so you will have do activate this :
| Code: |
(*) ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL Support
(*) ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL Support
(*) Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy
(*) Include IDE/ATA-2 Disk support
(*) Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support
(*) Include IDE/ATAPI Floppy support
(*) Generic/default IDE Chipset support
(*) PCI IDE Chipset support
(*)Generic PCI IDE Chipset support
(*)Generic PCI bus-master DMA support
(*)Use PCI DMA by default when available
(*)Intel PIIxn Chipset support
(*) SCSI device support
(disable) legacy /proc/scsi/support
(*) SCSI low-level drivers
(*) Serial ATA (SATA) support
(*) Intel PIIX/ICH SATA support
Now, for your sound card
(*) Sound
(M) Sound Card support
(M) Advance Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA)
(M) ALSA
(M) Sequencer support
(M) OSS Mixer API
(M) OSS PCM (digital audio) API
(*) OSS PCM (digital audio) API - Include plugin system
(*) OSS Sequencer API
(*) PCI Devices
(M) Intel HD Audio
For your CPU :
# cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 14
model name : Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2500 @ 2.00GHz
stepping : 8

cpu cores : 2
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no

bogomips : 3994.82
If you have the HT flags, you have a P4 Hyperthreading, so you can use this config :
(*) Symetic multi-support
Subarchitecture Type PC family compatible
Processor family (Pentium-4/Celeron(P4-based))
(2) Maximum number of CPUs
(*) SMT (Hyperthreading) scheduler support
Preemption Model(Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop))
(*) Preempt The Big Kernel Lock
(*) Machine check exception
(*) Check for non-fatal errors on Pentium 4
(*) Check for P4 thermal throttling interrupt
(*) /dev/cpu/*/msr - Model -specific register support
(*) High Memory Support (4 Gig)
(*) MTRR (Memory Support)
(*) Enable kernel irq balancing
(*) Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode

For the rest, i'm not an expert  |
