Master Kernel Thread

[master_kernel]

Hi there,

I've just compiled the 2.6.20 on my "Dell Optiplex 210L" and everything went fine, apart from 1 or 2 things.

- My usb drive won't mount automatically in my gnome environment
- When I boot, between the grub-gdm stage, my screen goes blank (no info on the screen like checking blablabla... starting blablabla...)

Any ideas ?

Thankx in advance

These problems may have been caused because you missed the "make oldconfig" step before compiling the kernel.

I compiled the 2.6.20 kernel on my eMachines T3990, and everything works, except there's no internet connection.

It only worked on my 2.6.19 kernel.

Any suggestions? :-/

No, I followed everthing on the first page of this thread. At the moment, I've switched to my old kernal until I've found a solution.

It looks like that on some systems with new chipsets the dont boot after an update the prob is "initramfs-tools". Me switched now to "yaird" and this create a bootable initrd on my system.

I compiled the 2.6.20 kernel on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6000, and for the most part things work great. I finally got the thing to properly suspend and resume. However, the toshiba_acpi module will not load. Looking through the results of dmesg I see

toshiba_acpi: Unknown parameter `hotkeys_over_acpi'

and attempting to modprobe the module I get

FATAL: Error inserting toshiba_acpi (/lib/modules/2.6.20/kernel/drivers/acpi/toshiba_acpi.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

Does anyone know how to fix this? Is there something I forgot to compile in?
I found this bug about it on launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source....20/+bug/82266

Edit: I removed the file /etc/modprobe.d/toshiba_acpi.modprobe and this resolved the issue with that module. It seems that the 'hotkeys_over_acpi' option is no longer supported by toshiba_acpi. I believe that this has been incorporated into generic acpi hotkeys.

I am not sure if this is related, but the laptop hangs when I attempt to reboot. It goes through its usual reboot motions and hangs right when it is supposed to restart.

Edit: This does not seem to be related. I am still having the reboot hang. I should point out that I did enable CONFIG_X86_REBOOTFIXUPS when I compiled the kernel, but it doesn't help. Any ideas? The computer reboots fine with the generic kernel from the repos, and it worked fine with the 2.6.19 kernel I compiled. The trouble seems to have arisen in the 2.6.20 kernel.

I have exactly the same problem, my interfaces are up, i can ping servers, but thats all... anyone fixed that?

EDIT: I had some weird wlan interfaces and other that i never installed in my /etc/networking/interfaces file, after i removed them it works fine

Hi all, I come here again with a question:
What are the config options related to the graphic card compiling?
Specifically for the nvidia driver what do we need?

From what I got from the Gentoo wiki. the framebuffer part should be disabled, i.e.
Device->Graphic support ->Support for frame buffer devices.
I disabled them all

I just wonder if other options may involve with the nvidia driver module installed from their official release. Because I'm experiencing some strange problems. And this problem was not here before I compiled the kernel myself. It's in this post on nv forum
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=84962
I just hope someone can help me get this thing, I've been lost here for several weeks.

I have the second one after the usplash goes nothing, I can't even get to a tty. However if I press ctrl+alt+delete the logoff usplash pops up and reboots......

I decided to give this a shot, it built, compiled .deb'ed and installed

however, on reboot everything seems to be working, but I my ipw drivers are not there

so I am trying to compile them, and am getting an ieee80211 error, any thoughts?

lcohen@lorne-laptop:/tmp/ipw3945-1.2.0$ make
/bin/sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
/bin/sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
-e
ERROR: A compatible subsystem was not found in the following path[s]:

/lib/modules/2.6.20 /lib/modules/2.6.20/build

You need to install the ieee80211 subsystem from http://ieee80211.sf.net
and point this build to the location where you installed those sources, eg.:

% make IEEE80211_INC=/usr/src/ieee80211/

or use the 'make patch_kernel' within the ieee80211 subsystem to patch your
kernel sources.

make: *** [check_inc] Error 1
lcohen@lorne-laptop:/tmp/ipw3945-1.2.0$

I did a make and make install on the ieee80211
