Master Kernel Thread

tks for the guide.
But now I don't have 3D aceleration, I have install the xorg driver fglrx but it didn't work.

help are wellcome

Can you post what steps you used to install the driver?

Hi,

I've tried this 3 times, but to no avail. I think I may have a SCSI or SATA hard drive, but I'm not sure which particular tick-box I should be selecting if I do.
The machine is a Toshiba Satellite A100-207, with no modifications.

Use synaptic to install the fglrx kernel source and module assistant. Then in a terminal:

sudo m-a prepare
sudo m-a update
sudo m-a build fglrx
sudo m-a install fglrx
sudo depmod -a

And reboot/ctrl+alt+backspace

I am almost at the point where this is becoming too much of a challenge in getting this kernel compiled. The only reason that I have moved forward in upgrading the kernel beyond the obvious reasons is to get ndiswrapper working correctly.

I successfully upgraded the kernel, and beyond patching to 2.6.19.1, did not attempt the upgrade with beyond patch, etc. I actually had a couple of successful boots. I wasn't able to get ndiswrapper working, but I figured it was only a matter of time (afterall, I was able previously to get ndiswrapper working for both the 64-bit as well as the 32-bit version of edgy!).

Suddenly, I went to go reboot, and suddenly, the kernel didn't know how to deal with reiserfs (which my home filesystem is made of). I tried every trick I could to get it working, and nothing. I was even able to do a reiserfsck which was successful and clean, but when I attempted to mount, still got an error talking about how to do mount reiserfs.

I have fallen back to 2.6.17-10-generic, and I have run out of ideas. Just for general information, I am using a HP DV8000 series machine.

[sputnik2012]

I'm haveing problems compiling the 2.6.19.1 kernel in Ubuntu 6.10 desktop. I've downloaded and installed the following packages:
build-essential bin86 kernel-package libqt3-headers libqt3-mt-dev wget libncurses5 libncurses5-dev
kernel-package libncurses5-dev fakeroot wget bzip2.

I get the following output on doing make menuconfig:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for this thread, compiling and installing the 2.6.19 kernel went surprisingly well. Except for one thing as I have found so far. During startup there is a completely black screen after GRUB, but everything starts up fine. Any ideas on how to get graphical or text startup back? Did I miss something when I compiled the kernel?

K. Solved the problem and compiled it

This was my problem, and following the link and editing toshiba.c worked for me

make modules gives me these warnings in modpost and then errors out:
WARNING: Can't handle masks in drivers/ide/pci/atiixp:FFFF05
WARNING: "tosh_smm" [drivers/video/neofb.ko] undefined!
make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1

After applying this patch (post attached):
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linu...3732511394&w=2
the tosh_smm warning is gone and the kernel compiles. The other warning
is still there though.

umm... am I being a complete idiot? I don't have a /usr/src/linux at all.... I have a folder at /usr/include and individual files under /lib/terminfo/l and /usr/share/terminfo/l though...

the link /usr/src/linux only exists if you have created it (step 3 in the tutorial)
