@NeddySeagoon:
could you please put the following at the beginning of this thread?
people keep on asking on how to check this kernel out etc etc,
thanks
checking the sources out
creating a patch
example:
| Code: |
git diff v2.6.24 v2.6.24-zen1 > 2.6.24-zen1.patch |
update sources (inside the directory)
| Code: | Update
Code:
cd /usr/src/zen-sources
git pull |
you are in the middle of a conflicted merge:
| Code: | | git checkout -f && git pull |
you need to change to another branch ?
example:
| Code: | | # git checkout master-devel |
if the branch doesn't exist in your directory ()
e.g. master-light, then enter
| Code: | | git branch master-light origin/master-light && git checkout master-light |
you want to check out a specific version?
| Code: | | git checkout v2.6.25-rc5-zen0 |
speeding up merge (download) of zen-sources (during first time)
1) checkout the linux-2.6 branch of linus (git.eu.kernel.org or git.kernel.org)
2) then merge both (e.g. it's in /usr/src/sources/linux-2.6)
3) | Code: | | git clone --reference /usr/src/sources/linux-2.6/ git://zen-sources.org/zen/kernel.git |
what branches are there?
currently (may 2008), there are 5 (?) branches ( heads ):
- master (git checkout master) (e.g. v2.6.24-zen3) [very stable]
- master-new (git checkout master-new) (e.g. v2.6.25-zen1, afaik this serves as test-branch or if master isn't updated for some time as secondary master)
- master-light (git checkout master-light) (e.g. 2.6.25-rc5-ki0) [even more stable than master]
- master-devel (git checkout master-devel) (e.g. 2.6.25-rc5-zen0) [here goes the development]
- master-devel-rt (git checkout master-devel-rt) (e.g. v2.6.24-zen-rt3) [~ stable, for those needing realtime-stuff]
the other "head"s are branches which are added to the main tree
the project's site can be reached over at:
www.zen-sources.org
the repo is reachable via:
http://zen-sources.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=kernel.git;a=summary
the SourceForge.net site at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/zen-sources/ (thanks guys, for hosting  )

The zen4 kernel had iwlwifi 1.2.23 witch don't work well with my ipw3945, there is a way to have 1.2.25 in zen kernel, the driver downloaded from official iwlwifi site dosen't compile -.-

|
|
2.6.24-zen4 fails for me with:
| Code: |
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/zen-sources-stable/include/linux/if_addrlabel.h', needed by `/usr/src/zen-sources-stable/usr/include/linux/if_addrlabel.h'. Stop.
|
Greg KH accidentally pushed a patch intended for 2.6.25 (David's fault). This is the patch that needs to be reverted: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/22/520
Simply take out the | Code: | | unifdef-y += if_addrlabel.h |
line in include/linux/Kbuild
PS@kernelOfTruth: STILL haven't had the free time to go fix the config problem. :/ Hopefully will after this week. |

zen4 seems to break squashfs. zen3 builds fine. Any suggestions? |

| Is it posible to include vesa-tng patch? It would help some of us with 945 gm to have gensplash and be able to resume after hibernate. atm screen becomes black and it remains so, only thing one can do is to shutdown by holding the button. |

That's another point, but it also doesn't work with gcc-4.3.

uvesafb is in mainline, so if it doesn't work, post to lkml o.O

| @gimpel? I have mentioned that in my previous post. people who use uvesafb and v86d with intel cards cannot resume after hibernation. Wth vesa-tng some of them (i.e me) could do it, some again had problems with vesa-tng also. But for me vesa-tng worked excellent. |

Why not use uvesafb. I switched from vesa-tng with no problems as per Spocks
instructions.

I have the same problem with uvesafb. After hibernation, screen is blank. In vesa-tng era i had little initramfs image with 915resolution in it and nice widescreen resolution. And it worked great. Now if i done the same with uvesafb (insmoding uvesafb in initramfs after 915resolution) it works... but hibernation (tuxonice) fails every time.
Don't know why vesafb-tng isn't maintained anymore... sad  |

Well, actually it is not that uvesafb doesn't work, it's v86d. see bug 212531.

Jupiter1TX, that's fine with me if you use uvesafb. I was using it for a while but as I mentioned I cannot resume after suspending to ram or to disk.
@Ivan what chip do you have? I never needed i915 res for 1280x800 and did't have to use initrd. |

| True it is because of v86d but that doesn't change anything here. It is about getting gensplash and nice looking tty's. With vesa-tng we don't need v86d and that's the point. |

This is because you have 1280x800 resolution in video bios. I don't.
Uvesafb is good for other arches, but it is just stupid to use it under 32bit x86.
I switched to intelfb, everything works, i have 100% working s3 and s4. But can't stand ugly 1024x768 console on 1280x800 screen.
Vesafb-tng was perfect for me. |

Thanks! The doom9 guys will jump for joy!
Out of curiosity, what is the difference between master-light and master-devel?
Oh..and the zen homepage is down.

master-light is the continuation of klight-sources. Basically less patches than master-devel;P

Speaking of uvesafb...
Anyone else getting a kernel panic with current master? Something about swapper tainted vgacon and stuff. It was fine until -rc4-zen0.
I start to wish back vesafb-tng too, no -rt, no 1680x1050, and now it panics anyway, hmm...

Am just a little curious why you think this is stupid. I have been using this since
the change over with no problems. I use 32bit x86 on a 22" 1680x1050 lcd. Is
there a good reason why this is stupid or did you just make a stupid remark.

It is stupid because:
i need to compile klibc for it
needs userspace daemon
needs initramfs if we early wanna see resolution
it simulates x86 calls to query video bios--> why should we need that if we have native calls on 32bit
it doesn't work with tuxonice for me ,and for some other users
it lacks any type of acceleration
The only good thing is that it supports non vesa modes, but vesafb-tng already did that. |
