SlCKB0Y Kernel 2.6.29.1 Downloads - Update!

Re: SlCKB0Y Kernel 2.6.28 Downloads - Update with Website!

Hey, I'm having some issues with wifi... I just reinstalled ubuntu (long story) and installed this kernel. Wifi wasn't working, so I thought, no biggy, installed madwifi from the .deb. No wifi. Everything works fine, boot-up is super fast, etc, but I'm not getting ANY wireless action. It doesn't show networks to connect to or anything.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for solving this? The amount of information on linux is staggering, and it's proving difficult for me to find what is useful versus what is simply out there. Any help (links, ideas, etc) is greatly appreciated.

I have a dell 1390 card installed and would love to use this kernel as it feels much more responsive. Is there an easy way to add support for the 1390 so I am able to use this kernel? Thanks!

 

Original post updated with kernel 2.6.29.1

 

I've installed the sickboy's new kernel 2.6.29 (header + image) with jaunty sickboy, but my sd card isn't yet auto mount when I inserted them inside and my fan is always run speed

could you tell me if there is some mod I have to do after install
thank you

sorry if i am doing many english mistake but i'm french

 

Installed linux-image-2.6.29.1.20090414.sickboy_2.6.29.1,created /etc/modprobe.d/options, and added the line options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire. Pulled out both of my SD cards, and rebooted. An SD card inserted into the left slot is recognized. An SD card inserted into the right slot is not recognized. Tried

Code:

rmmod sdhci_pci sdhci
modprobe sdhci debug_quirks=1
modprobe sdhci_pci

but that did nothing. Looks like the following is still needed

Code:

modprobe pciehp pciehp_force=1

but pciehp.ko is not available. Note: booting with cards in both slots works fine, but that's not always an option.

 

you can force module parameters for things built into kernels by using modulename.option=whatever or changing the options at /sys/modules/whatever/option.

 

Damn, I must be getting senile
Tried executing

Code:

modprobe pciehp pciehp_force=1

again, and it seems to have done the job. I like to place that line of code in /etc/rc.local, but as the perl people say, there's more than one way to do it.

 

Tried the April 14th build and am having an issue. I am running an updated jaunty beta and when I enable acerhdf my AAO hangs when I try to suspend. If I don't enable acerhdf suspend works the way it should..

Thanks for the release.

EDIT:
I tried adding acerhdf to the MODULES section of /etc/default/acpi-support. Still hangs on suspend.

 

Sickboy,
I tried it, but 2.6.29.1 wouldn't boot on my A110L. My download may be bad. Could
you please post an MD5 sum of the .deb file? The 28's all boot fine.

--argee

 

It has just been pointed out to me that the kernel in the package linux-image-2.6.28sickboy-kuki_0.4_i386.deb doesn't support 3G cards.

The stock 9.04 kernel (and 8.04 and 8.10) supported my Huawei E172 out of the box but this kernel doesn't seem to recognise it at all. Is there something I need to do to enable this or is the required functionality not built in?

 

sudo apt-get install build-essential kernel-package
sudo apt-get build-dep linux-image
wget http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6 ... .1.tar.bz2 && tar xvfj linux-2.6.29.1.tar.bz2 && cd linux-2.6.29.1
cp /boot/config-whateveritscalled .config
make silentoldconfig
make menuconfig -- find your driver and enable it
make-kpkg clean
CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=3 fakeroot makekpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-lotus49 kernel_image kernel_headers kernel_source
sudo dpkg -i ../linux*.deb

Otherwise there's always ubuntu stock images with everything and the kitchen sink thrown in, people have to make a choice what to leave out in order to make the kernel faster and specialized drivers like that are usually the first to go

 

Thanks for this Sarvatt, I'll give it a go.

I haven't compiled a kernel for a long time. When I started using Linux, there weren't even distributions at all let alone snazzy package management applications like apt-get and I used to be very familiar with configuring and building kernels but modern distros like Debian have made me lazy. However, I have been waiting for 9 months for an Ubuntu kernel that worked well for me so perhaps it's time I had a go myself.

I shall report back on my progress.

 

Sarvatt supplied me with the correct MD5SUM of the 0414 Sickboy kernel.
As I suspected, mine was corrupt. I redownloaded, verified the MD5 and
now it boots and 'tis happy!

I have to report: On my A110L, boot time power on to desktop
on 9.04 Ubuntu Desktop is 36 seconds, which is 4 seconds
faster than the 0404 Sickboy kernel or the one from Baldric.

--argee

 

hmmm. ill have to look into this. thanks

 

im pretty sure that kernel does support 3g cards. If it doesn't download the latest one...it has usbserial

also, i know for the e220 certain options need to be passed when modprobing
eg
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003

 

Re: SlCKB0Y Kernel 2.6.28 Downloads - Update with Website!

Hi.

I was in a good mood so i put together a deb for you which includes the bcm43xx driver
enjoy
http://www.ug.it.usyd.edu.au/~scole/rel ... 6_i386.deb

 

I tried the latest kernel but it doesn't seem to behave any differently. I have an E220 as well as my E172 and both were recognised by previous kernels without my doing anything at all. I haven't tried my E220 with the 9.04 but it was supported out of the box by the 8.04 and 8.10 kernels.

Apparently the same command line quoted above has worked for some people who have an E172 but it didn't do anything for me. I shall reboot into the stock 9.04 kernel and see if a recent update to network manager has caused the problem.

EDIT

I tried rebooting into the stock 9.04 kernel and my E172 was recognised without my having to do anything. There is clearly something different about the two kernels but as yet, I have no idea what.

 

Re: SlCKB0Y Kernel 2.6.28 Downloads - Update with Website!

Hi,

I have the dell 1390 card.
I just installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu. After the first restart I installed this .deb (with the bcm43xx driver). However my Wi-Fi still doesn't work. In the network connections window I can't see any networks, while there are 5-6 of them nearby.

Is there something else I have to do, so the WiFi works?

Thanks!

 

sudo rmmod acer_wmi most likely

 

nope: ERROR: Module acer_wmi does not exist in /proc/modules
I did get a message about a driver. broadcom b43 wireless driver. I activated this driver, but still no wifi.
As the name suggests this should be the right driver, right?
