Please Close -2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers.

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

Apologies for the double post:

I've finished compiling a kernel and am happy to report it works - I am typing this post up on it. Below are the debs. For reference, I used the config posted by Sickboy in the OP and added Broadcom WiFi support off the 2.6.28 stable source code. If you're currently using Sickboy or Figvam's kernel and it's working, there is absolutely no reason to use or install this - this is precisely the same as Sickboy's, with added Broadcom WiFi drivers.

Enjoy:

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

I still have the issue with each and every kernel in this thread. I cannot use an SDHC 16GB card with these kernels. I get the error of -84 in /var/log/syslog whilst trying to automount the SD card.

It was discussed a few pages back, but what are these kernels missing in the way of SDHC support that the factory 27.9 8.10 kernel isnt..

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

Glad this keeps coming back up. Mounting SDHC cards is the only keeping this kernel from being 100% working for me. I've been through the config over and over. There must be some setting, somewhere which makes the difference, but I haven't found it yet. I thought someone had chimed in saying they weren't having any trouble mounting their SDHC cards, though.

Who else has tried with sdhc cards? What results have you had? Do you see the same "... -84 .." error in syslog?

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

I have used two SDHC cards in both slots on my AA1 and they work fine. Using sickboys kernel (rc7 I believe).

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

yeah, i get the -84 with a EXT2 formatted 16GB SDHC card. one of the faster ones.

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

Can you explain how you are compiled this module or send me your module compiled

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

I have the same error with one of my cards (a Kingston 4GB SDHC) but not with another (a Transcend 4GB SDHC). FWIW, same error with Fedora kernel 2.6.29-0.12.rc0.git7.f11. However, Fedora kernel 2.6.27.5-117.fc10 works properly

update: adding the following to /etc/modprobe.conf fixed the problem with the Fedora kernel.

Code:

 options sdhci debug_quirks=1

Probably won't work in Sickboy's or figvam's kernels since sdhci is compiled into the kernel rather than loaded as a module

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

Apparent fix for SDHC problem. I recompiled the kernel with sdhci and sdhci-pci as modules and installed it. Then, instead of the above /etc/modprobe.conf, I created a file I called /etc/modprobe.d/aa1 with the following

Code:

# To enable card slots when empty at boot
options pciehp pciehp_force=1
# From post on lkml
options sdhci debug_quirks=1

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

Would it be possible to post the steps you took to recompile it, or post the debs for the recompile!?

Thanks!

 

Yay Kernel!

Hello all,

After watching this forum for ages, I took the plunge and loaded the Sickboy kernel image. I'm running the UNR installed from an image with the Sickboy deb on top of it.

Boot time is cut to about half (BIOS logo to full login ~ 30 seconds instead of 60 seconds with basic UNR), and the right card reader works (I don't have big cards or memory sticks). I have noticed no problems. There's no sticking on the flash player.

So thanks for the kernel. I was reluctant to install it, but it was really easy and worked quite well for my purposes.

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

So I figured it out. I used the config from figvam's kernel and was able to make them modules and SDHCI works now..

My system boots rocket fast, except suspend is broken, but thats okay. I think it might have to do with XFS and my SD card as /home.

My powertop shows more poweruse now than with the stock ubuntu 8.10 kernel at about 10.0 with wifi on and screen turned down.. any ideas?

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

Thanks! I'll try this out when I get home this afternoon (fingers crossed!).

I had this complied into the kernel as well. I think I'll try passing "sdhci.debug_quirks=1" as a boot option in grub to see if that works. Otherwise, I'll just re-compile as a module.

I also noticed that the stock Ubuntu kernel config compiles sdhci as a module so I wonder if that wasn't the difference...

I'll probably delete the source file as it's just the standard kernel taken from the lkml website

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

If you've got an SDHC card in the slot, will it go to sleep. I based mine from figvam and find that sleeping it leaves me with a flashing cursor..

I'll try yours when I get home tonite.

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

Just a quick inquiry:

Does "100% working" include bluetooth? I am using Ubuntu 8.10 with the kernel (obtained via "uname -rs"):

Linux 2.6.28-rc8-custom-aa1

and whenever I plug in my USB bluetooth dongle I get a bunch of ("dmesg")

hci_cmd_task: hci0 command tx timeout

lines followed eventually by the dreaded

bluetoothd[3747]: segfault at 7 ip b7d12c63 sp bff71af8 error 4 in libc-2.8.90.so[b7ca3000+158000]

whenever I try to run the gnome-bluetooth applet. I have read elsewhere that it is necessary to downgrade bluetooth (from v4 to v3) on ubuntu 8.10 in order to get it to work, but I was hoping that the 2.6.28 kernel would fix things. Anybody having the same problem? Any suggestions? Thanks.

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

If I want to convert to ext2 from ext3, which the Ubuntu Remix uses, should I do that before updating my kernel, or does it even matter?

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

Is there a step by step to installing this anywhere?

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

I'm running Sickboy's kernel and everything seems OK, BUT...

Sound on some web sites is very crackly and distorted.
I've tried changing the sound settings and pressing 'test' sounds fine.. but most sites like you tube etc sound awful.

Visiting the same sites in Linpus sound fine !!
Any ideas ??

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

You might try editing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and add

options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire

at the end. Then reboot.

If that fails, you could try just acer (instead of acer-aspire)

This is all just guessing here though.

 

Re: UPDATED-2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers. 100% Working

I installed this kernel (boots nice and fast, BTW) but still no wireless with my Broadcom. Is there something else I need to do to get things working?

With the stock Ubuntu 8.10 kernel, I just used the "Hardware Drivers" applet to enable the proprietary driver, but with your kernel it doesn't show any drivers available.
