Hello,
I am running Windows XP and Ubuntu Edgy on my pc.
Specs:
P4 2.8 Ghz
512mb ram
Aopen AX4SPE-un motherboard
GF FX5950U
Maxtor 250gb SATA HDD
Right now I have kernel 2.6.17 and it works great. However, I would like to upgrade to 2.6.19, so I followed this tutorial
After doing exactly as the tutorial says, I reboot and I get to GRUB and I select the new kernel. But then I get: Intel_rng FWH not detected and then I have to reboot.
Any idea?
The howto resulted in a policy violation when I ran the following;
# make-kpkg clean
exec make -f /usr/share/kernel-package/ruleset/minimal.mk clean
/usr/share/kernel-package/ruleset/misc/version_vars.mk:123: *** Error. The version number # # configuration written to .config # 2.6.19.1 is not all lowercase. Since the version ends up in the package name of the kernel image package, this is a Debian policy violation, and the packaging system shall refuse to package the image. . Stop.
make-kpkg -initrd --revision=386 kernel_image kernel_headers modules_image
the italic part must be all numbers, letters, and must be all lower case. It must include at least one number. I usually use custom1 as the revision number (and if, for some reason, I have to recompile, I use custom2, etc) The revision number can be whatever you want, and has no impact on anything.
I used the old version of this guide to upgrade to the 2.6.18.2 kernel, and everything went great. So I decided to try it again for 2.6.19.1, and everything works up until this step:
make-kpkg -initrd --revision=386 kernel_image kernel_headers modules_image
I get this error message:
## Main Make ##

Your kernel was configured to include rivafb support!
The rivafb driver conflicts with the NVIDIA driver, please
reconfigure your kernel and *disable* rivafb support, then
try installing the NVIDIA kernel module again.
*** Failed rivafb sanity check. Bailing out! ***

make[1]: *** [kdist_image] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel'
Module /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel failed.
Hit return to Continue
When I went into the kernel options, I disabled the riva support, recompiled and received the same error message. Do I need to remove the nvidia driver and modules before recompiling?
Any help would be great.
Great guide!
Far more speed.

After doing this, on booting up the custom kernel it gets up to the usual 'booting kernel' line and goes black, then after a while it gives an error that /dev/hda5 does not exist and goes into an ash shell. I tried both with compiling the file system supports as modules and as kernel as someone suggested. Tried oldconfig and blank with configmenu, and other things, it made no difference. Perhaps I tweaked it too much, I don't know. Suggestions welcome.
I found a solution if you get the error message: FWH not detected.
add this to your kernel in /boot/grub/menu.lst : no_fwh_detect=-1
Now that I am able to boot further, I get to another problem. It is booting fine but it stops after this:
[ 11.517648] sd 1:0:0:0 Attached scsi removable disk sdc
[ 11.521528] sd 0:0:0:2 Attached scsi removable disk sdd
[ 11.526177] sd 0:0:0:3 Attached scsi removable disk sde
I have a SATA hdd, but I did select ´support for SATA´ in qconf.
Should I also select support for ATA?
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
