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

Excellent find. I will add this to the list of things to add.

 

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

Original thread updated!

 

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

Great work Sickboy - hope the leg gets better soon.



Anyone able to tell me how to switch from ext3 to ext 2 ? (this makes it quicker, right?)

 

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

probably not noticeably quicker, but not having the journal helps extend the lifetime of the ssd (if you have the ssd model, if you have the hdd one ext3 is fine and far superior to ext2)

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

Code:

sudo tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/sdxx

/dev/sdxx is your partition you need to modify

Next, you change in fstab ext3 file system in ext2
For do this, you need to use an another system like live-cd, the partition need to be unmonted or read-only

Ok, so i have searched, so if i missed it please forgive me. I want to go in and do some of the special config files myself that built into SICKBOY's kernel, like getting the LED light into the kernel before he updates it... Half of it is me just wanting my LED light, the other half is I wanna learn how to do this for future use. So if someone could point me to a guide to how to do something like this, it would be awesome.

EDIT: P.S. SICKBOY, when you updated your first post you put 2008, not 2009 XD

 

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

Haha. Woops. Fixed

 

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

Hey Sickboy,

I don't know if this is too much to ask, but I would be interested in the process you take/took to modify the kernel - as it would be neat to be able to tune the kernel for my specific machine. (I have compiled kernels before, but not modified to any great extent, and not with make-kpkg)

For instance:
- did you start with a specific .config file, or just blank?
- how did you decide what to modify? Where was most of your effort spent? (ie Devices?)
- were there any options you had to "guess" at?
- how did you decide whether to make something a module, or built-in?
- do you do anything to optomize for the Atom processor?
- what have you tried that didn't work?
- do you do any code patching first? (and how does that work?)
- do you compile the kernel on the AAO, or is that too slow?
- if not, are there any special settings required to compile on say a Desktop i386 machine (for use on AAO)?
- How long does a compile typically take?
- what is the command you use for make-kpkg?

Also, in the case of this upcoming kernel, I see your objectives - exactly which items will you modify to accomplish these?

Thanks!

Any chance of getting the WiFi kill switch to work ??

Thx

 

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

Hey all... just wondering... Will this kernel work with gOS?

 

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

Hi all,
first of all i'd like to thank you for your kernel*thumbup* nice work SICKBOY
I just applied the LED-patch mentioned before and compiled sdhci as module, works perfectly
I'm trying to get the device-mapper for truecrypt to work, my first try failed but i'll post the working .config here when I'm finished.

edit: finished Truecrypt works (I assume "native" linux fs-encryption works as well), SDHC works and the Wifi-LEDs are active, at least the right one

 

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

i have already installed one of your kernels mate and now when i try to update with the latest package it moans that it already exists what should i do as i would like the latest fixes having the led back would be nice lol

 

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

I'll toss in some info here.

On an initial .config, several have been posted and you can start anywhere. Just try optiions and see what happens.

I make more items modules than stick did. In particular EXT3 and SAMBA(or it's replacement) are large and unused by me. The general "rule" is that you make it built in if you think it is very likely used.

Compile time on the AAO was around 30-45 minutes (I think, did not time), but I now do it on my desktop w/o any special setup.

On patches, stick grabbed a later ALSA, but if you go with the released 2.6.28 it now includes it. I tried a patch to allow hacking the CPU voltage/freq table, but seams of no use.

 

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

Does the built in mic work for y'all? I tried the webcam for the first time, and I did not hear any sound in the recording. So far, the kernel has been 100% in every way.

 

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

OK guys,

I'm currently compiling a new kernel

Changes are as follows:

Compiled with 2.6.28 release kernel.
added all sdhc stuff in as a module to allow module options
add usb-serial modules for 3g usb
added in ath5k kernel patches for wifi LED functioning.
added in ext4 support as module
added in broadcom wireless support as module

From now on kernel updates should come pretty quickly. Remember, send me a message to request a feature.

 

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

If you are using sound recorder, you might need to play around with either the input device, or input levels for it to work. I needed to do this.

 

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

I have been patched the kernel with ath5k patches and compiled it with .config,that Visnu posted above, but still have some problems with cardreaders.
Works only left cardreader...rigth cardreader works only if i insert card at the boot.

 

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

Maybe you missed some configuration steps from the Community Documentation?
I just tried It again to be sure and left and right readers work without having a card inserted at boot time

 

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

Can a moderator please close/archive this thread? It has become too long and cumbersome for people to find information and also a lot of that information is now out of date.

I have released a new kernel and started a new thread. Please continue your discussion of my kernel at
