| neenee, I did everything the same as before, yet I don't see much in the videodev category. In fact, until i select gameport, I only see 3 modules under the videodev category. Can you possibly PM me your .config |

That would be me. I'm at a loss. I guess another patch will be released. |

FYI - to anyone who is having problems with evms. It turns out you need evms-2.1.1 which is not in portage to use the 2.6 kernels. I posted a request for a new ebuild, but copying and renaming the existing ebuild works fine.
EVMS is working fine in 2.6-test6-mm1 now! |

Hi zaanpeguin and lovechild I had the same Assembler messages problems with the same gcc and glibc versions. After some doc reading and recompiling I got to the point I know that binutils was unstable (mainly gas) so I started to check the differents version of binutils well the problem is not binutils but a patch to the newest binutils that is in testing (binutils-2.14.90.0.6-r3). This patch is:
| Code: | | epatch ${FILESDIR}/2.14/${PN}-2.14.90.0.6-bfd-elf-interp.patch |
so you comment out that line in the ebuild and reemerge, after this no more assembler mensages. The funny part is that this patch is one-liner and is to fix some section attributes changes that redhat incorrectly added.

Perfect.
I was having the same assembler messages but clammed up about it because I assumed it was something I did to gcc. But, this fixes it, so all is good. Is this bug-worthy? I didn't see anything on Bugzilla and this is certainly a bad patch.. |

wooohooo, bye bye asm messages - I figured it had to be binutils, glibc or gcc causing it - but I was just lasy to investigate the errors since they seemed harmless yet annoying. Hoping of course that someone else would fix it.
Anyways test6 and test6-mm1 seems awfully breaky compared to -test5 and it's mm releases, am I the only one who has had more problems with the newest release than the old one? |

I accidently nuked my existing Gentoo about two weeks ago and am having no end of trouble.... It's not -test6 specific, but it is 2.6.0-testn specific...
I boot 2.4.22 and everything is peachy... except a bunch of my hardware doesn't work (unsupported) (875P AGPGART, ICH5 SATA, etc).
I boot 2.6.0-testn and my keyboard doesn't work. I have sshd installed and can remotely operate the box just fine, but the keyboard is plain old missing. It works fine in XP, so it's not hardware. Switching out another keyboard doesn't fix it. numlock and scroll lock, don't work at all, for example... I'm at a loss. I was running 2.6.0-test5-mm1 before I torched my install... but even -test4-mm4 and -test5-mm1 fail, now. I saw the bits about the i8042 in the kernel changelogs and LKML, but -test6 and -test6-mm1 fail the same way!
Help! |

This might be a stupid suggestion, but did you enable everything you need for your keyboard under input device support?

As far as I can tell, everything is configured correctly. I'll go triple-check.
(IIRC, I'm using the .config from the old, working install's kernel.) |

I am not sure that will work, cause in the 2.6 series I think they really changed the way you support keyboard stuff. Now there is a whole section just for it.

Does anyone know why portege keep insiting on emerging 'mm-sources-2.6.0_beta6-r1' when I wan to emerge other packages?
Like this: | Code: | emerge -pv xfree-drm
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild N ] sys-kernel/mm-sources-2.6.0_beta6-r1 -doc -tcltk
[ebuild N ] x11-base/xfree-drm-4.3.0-r6 -3dfx -gamma -i8x0 -matrox -rage128 + radeon -sis |
I'm currently running on ac-sources-2.4.22-r4 (on a hp nx7000 centrino laptop) |

you can try removing mm-sources (and only mm-
sources, not the whole kernel-flavors line) from
your world (/var/cache/edb/world) or virtuals
(/var/cache/edb/virtuals) file. |

That probably did it. I removed these two instances from '/var/cache/edb/virtuals' (the only ones in the file) of mm-sources:
virtual/alsa media-sound/alsa-driver mm-sources
virtual/linux-sources sys-kernel/ac-sources sys-kernel/mm-sources
(I just removed the bold text of course)
Now portage doesn't insist on emerge mm-sources 
Thanks.
Why did I get this side effect? Could it be that I ran this command when I was at stage 3? | Code: | | emerge -k mm-sources ac-sources |
I unmerged mm-sources the same day... |

i do not know why this happened; i had
two problems recently which were solved
by removing the package instance from
my world + virtuals files. |

I had this same problem. You need a patch for vmware which is can be found via the vmware news forum. Here is the ftp site for the patch: ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware
You need vmware-any-any-update41.tar.gz. Untar this into your /opt/vmware dir and run the runme.pl script as root. This latest patch also fixed a problem I have been seeing with recent mm kernels whereby the kernel oop's on shutdown.
Good luck - Mike. |

Other than installing the driver did you have to do anything special to get your Synaptics Touchpad to work?
My Synaptics touchpad was working fine with previous 2.6-test kernels but doesn't seem to work with test6. I've updated the driver and doublechecked XF86Config, but when I startx it tells me it can't find a synaptics device.
Any suggestions?
Oh, the laptop is a Dell Inspiron 5100. |

I downloaded the vmware-any-any-update41.tar.gz, and then modified my ebuild. That worked fine.
But I see that the new patch is now in portage! |

I find that between versions of kernels, which event interface the Synaptics touchpad gets swapped around: so for example it used to be under /dev/input/event1, and is now under /dev/input/event0 on my machine. Today. With the sun shining.
So my suggestion is to make sure that you have enabled the "event interface" under "Input Devices", and then take a look at your /dev/input dir, and try different ones in your XF86Config.
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "synaptics"
Identifier "touchpad"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event0"
Option "Protocol" "event"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.0015"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
# Option "Edges" "1900 5400 1800 3900"
# Option "Finger" "25 30"
# Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
# Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
# Option "MinSpeed" "0.02"

I couldn't find any other incidences of this anywhere, and it's rather wierd.
Anyway, on any kernel newer than 2.6.0-test5-mm2* (inc. test6 and newest love-sources) I can't get entrance to run. An init.d/xdm start doesn't have any effect, and nothing at all appears in the xfree86 log. However, logging in and running startx works as it should.
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks,
Milo.
*N.B. I didn't try -mm3 |

My Prism2-based wireless card has ceased to work. With 2.6.0-test5 it works fine, but booting into test6, which has the exact same configuation as test5, makes the light on the card stay on all the time and doesn't create a network interface.

mm2 working fine here also.
very small patch for anyone using mitsumi cdrom (kinda unusual, but hey you never know...)
http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/10/2/47
probably easier to edit the file by hand, in fact ^_^

Ok, the person who suggested passing acpi=off to the kernel to fix the 3com bug was right.
I was waiting till mm2 to try again, because I don't normally reboot all the time.
I was actually using acpi=off under test5-mm2, because without it, the kernel panicked on boot. So I guess that's why the ethernet worked in that case. But I tried booting test6-mm1 without the param to see if they fixed it. It booted fine, but the NIC was screwed.
So, test6-mm2 seems to be running fine here as well. Might stick with this one for a while.
BTW, does anyone know what needs to be tested right now? Is there anything a non kernel-hacker can check out that would be useful? My system is a dual P3 with 2 gigs of RAM, G400 video, SB Live value, 3Com 905B NIC, SDDR-31 USB Compact Flash reader, HP 8200something CD burner. All that seems to work. |
