 Posted: Tue May 15, 2007 12:08 pm Post subject: issues with gentoo-sources-2.6.2X, Xorg and Nvidia |
 |
|
Hello,
I have been running gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r5 (genkernel compile) for a few months now, and when 2.6.20-r7 came down, I decided to compile that (also with genkernel) just to keep on top of the stable kernel builds. Everything went fine until it came time to start X again.
Every time X was started (either with startx or xdm) It would end up self-terminating with a "Caught signal 11" message. If I reboot and go back to 2.6.19-r5, it works fine.
I tested 2.6.20-r8 (genkernel) and 2.6.21 (manual compile) and they both have the same problems. I have no idea why X refuses to run once the 2.6.2X kernels are booted.
Just for reference, I have an AMD 64 3200+, Nvidia 7600 GS card (Nvidia Driver Version 1.0-9755) and Xorg version 7.2.0. Any other information or outputs required can be provided.
Any help with this would be much appreciated. |

did you recompile nvidia-drivers for each kernel?

| Yes. After compiling the 2.6.21 kernel I also did an emerge -e just for good measure. |

After booting into the 2.6.21 kernel, I re-emerged the Nvidia driver, rmmod'd the existing one, and then modprobe'd the new one in. Upon starting X I get the following still:
| Quote: | Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console |
Any ideas what could be causing this outside of re-emerging the nvidia driver? |

Hey there scumm-boy,
I had some similar issues on a similar platform after kernel & X11 upgrades & rolling nvidia-drivers back to version nvidia-drivers-1.0.8776-r1 worked for me.
NOW, this is a NASTY workaround, but I simply needed a working machine!
Given some time I will figure out why this happened & if anyone can give more useful info I would be very pleased.
Cheers,
QuantumSummers
EDIT: almost forgot: I had to remove all mention of framebuffer/splash from kernel config as well. Which is also _no_good_.

| I might try rolling back to that Nvidia driver version and see if that makes a difference. Thank you for the potential work around! |

I have the same problem after upgrading to 2.6.21-r1 from 2.6.20-r1, I get the nvidia logo and then:
| Code: | X Window System Version 1.3.0
Release Date: 19 April 2007
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 1.3

Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org
to make sure that you have the latest version.

nvidia-drivers is version 1.0.9755-r1 and the module loads without problems, X just doesn't like it.
7600 GS card here aswell, on a Core 2 Duo. |

| All you have to do is disable paravirtualization support in the kernel and nvidia-drivers will compile. |

|
|
So the question now becomes: Why must one disable kernel paravirtualization for the latest nvidia driver to compile?
In addition, is it this kernel parameter: CONFIG_KVM_AMD=y
Finally, how did you come by this information?
Thanks,
