Toshiba L505D ACPI issue with 9.1/9.04

Here's a quick walkthrough on how to compile your own:

(But the one posted above should work fine for all ubuntu 9.10 based systems.)


Right click on http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=23958 and save it to your desktop.

Code:

---

sudo -s
apt-get update
apt-get install kernel-package libncurses5-dev fakeroot wget bzip2
cd /usr/src

---

For 9.10:

Code:

---

wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.31.12.tar.bz2
tar xjf linux-2.6.31.12.tar.bz2
ln -s linux-2.6.31.12 linux

---

For 10.04

Code:

---

wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.32.4.tar.bz2
tar xjf linux-2.6.32.4.tar.bz2
ln -s linux-2.6.32.4 linux

---

Code:

---

cd /usr/src/linux
patch -p1 < ~/Desktop/bug14679_copy_dsdt.patch
cp /boot/config-`uname -r` ./.config
make menuconfig

---

NOTE: That's p1 as in the number ONE, not a lower case L.
-Load an Alternate Configuration File
-Hit OK
-Exit
-Hit Yes

Code:

---

make-kpkg clean
fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-l505d kernel_image kernel_headers
cd /usr/src
ls -l
nautilus /usr/src

---

Then install both deb files in there.

Make sure that you remove any extra Grub kernel switches you've added.

It works! Thank you very much for the compiling guide, it really works!, right now I'm installing the graphics driver, when I finish doing I'll upload my own build to a faster server than the given before (:P)

Brilliant! (although I've not had a chance to try it). I'll see if I can get us a kernel uploaded.

OK, I did get it working, but I screwed up my kernel compile. Basically, I ran

sudo apt-get install git-core kexec-tools makedumpfile crash libncurses5 libncurses5-dev

(BTW, I already had most of the other dependencies installed, I don't remember what all they are, sorry)


cloned the Ubuntu source GIT tree with

cd [my kernel source directory]

git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-karmic.git karmic

cd Karmic

git tag | grep Ubuntu*

cd [appropriate kernel version from last command]

git checkout Ubuntu-2.6.31-17.54 -b ACPIfix

Ubuntu-2.6.31-17.54cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .

cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .

patch -p1 < ~/Desktop/bug14679_copy_dsdt.patch

make menuconfig

[made some changes/optimizations for AMD CPU...]

make-kpkg clean

git add .

git commit -a -m "L505d modifications"

//Note: I picked 4 because I did this on my quad-core desktop, choose 2 for a
//dual-core
CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=4 fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-l505d kernel_image kernel_headers


To make 2 .deb packages. However, I think I ****** up a couple of options, you should be able to compile to a much smaller package, but I'm not sure how(more like 60mb instead of 400mb). I don't have much experience compiling Ubuntu kernels, usually I just compile vanilla kernels from kernel.org. If somebody knows how to compile a Ubuntu kernel minus all of the extra stuff, please let me know, and I'll try to get a smaller kernel .deb uploaded.

ivanmmj:

Thanks. It is working for me.

I decided to mess around with the kernel and created a small kernel (30mb) package that works and is FAST... It's set up with no debugging, compiled to use AMD instructions, etc etc...

Anyone want a copy of it? (It's for 10.04, though, as it's based off the 2.6.32 kernel.)

I would like to have it.

Power management is working better for me with the kernel compiled using ivanmmj's instructions.

There you go.

Could someone post a quick install to kernel patch guide for this? I've been wanting to install Ubuntu on my new laptop (L505-S5983) but am wary without the full picture...
Thanks in advance.
