Building old vanilla kernels

I've encountered regression in kernel:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22223
To hunt this down, I used tested kernel26 coming from existing ISO-installers.
After this I tried building kernel 2.6.33 by hand, just using old default configs (from installers) and make localmodconfig.
The resulting kernel crashed with long stacktrace.
Then I've tried building the package kernel26-2.6.33 (with different build suffix) by using makepkg way (used the same config file which I got from installed old Arch).
Result crashed the same way:
[<c12ce9bd>] panic + 0x4d / 0x100
[<........>] do_exit + 0x6dc / 0x750
[<........>] ? kmsg_dump
? printk
oops_end
no_context
__bad_area_nosemaphore
? __d_instantiate
? d_rehash
bad_area_nosemaphore
do_page_fault
? _security_d_instantiate
? _do_page_fault
error_code
? strcmp
event_create_dir
? module_update_tracepoints
? tracepoint_update_probes
event_trace_init
do_one_initcall
? event_trace_init
kernel_init
? kernel_init
kernel_thread_helper
Then I've repeated this for kernel26-2.6.32.
The stacktrace of the crash was 2x shorter, but it crashed anyway.
Is there any way of doing kernel code regression testing easier way (possible at all) in Arch Linux?
Without this, almost any git bisect command in kernel tree is useless..

Does this work for you?

I have unison-2.27.57-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz in my personal repo as well.

[SOLVED] Error building vanilla kernel for PS3

I installed all the base packages for ArchPPC and have chrooted into it. I downloaded/uncompressed kernel 2.6.24 from kernel.org and ran `cp arch/powerpc/configs/ps3_defconfig .config`. The first time, I went straight to make after that. That gave me the error "linux-2.6.24/scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 26: printf: #: invalid number". So I ran pacman -Sy gcc3, then edited my Makefile setting HOSTCC=gcc-3.3, HOSTCXX=g++-3.3, and CC=gcc-3.3.
Now when I run make (after doing make clean) the first error I get is:
include/asm/mmu-hash64.h:437: error: `SID_SHIFT' undeclared (first use in this function)
Any ideas?

You need a ppc64 cross-compiler to build a ps3 kernel. You can use the crosstool pkgbuilds from here: http://kth5.telekommunisten.net/archlinux/crosstools/
All you need to do is to replace the 32 bit ppc targets with powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu and it should build fine.

[solved] Vanilla kernel won't compile on vanilla install

I am new to Arch Linux but not new to other Linux distros. I've encountered somewhat of a strange problem. I wanted to test out some custom kernel modifications on Arch Linux. (Specifically, I have been trying to implement unRAID [ http://lime-technology.com/ ] into a Arch Linux install.) I ran into some problems compiling the modified 2.6.36.2 kernel and figured it was just my modifications. But to my surprise, I am unable to even compile a vanilla kernel on a fresh install (base and devel) of Arch Linux. After further testing, it seems to affect other kernel versions, but only older kernel version. For example,vanilla 2.6.38 compiles fine. I've outlined my process below.
1. Fresh install of Arch Linux (base and devel)
2. Installed OpenSSH and configured so I could connect remotely.
3. Prepare source tree: http://pastie.org/1929380
4. Accepted defaults on make menuconfig
5. Full build log: https://pastee.org/gvng5
Then it tanks on this error:
CC arch/x86/mm/mmio-mod.o
LD arch/x86/mm/mmiotrace.o
LD arch/x86/mm/built-in.o
LDS arch/x86/vdso/vdso32/vdso32.lds

I've tested on other kernel (old-ish) versions and I get the same error. Any ideas?

I don't what the problem is, but I could not get it to compile with gcc 4.6. I did do a netinstall the first time around though with all the latest packages. Maybe there is some updated package throwing the error? Maybe binutils? No matter though. I don't need gcc 4.6 anyways. I reinstalled Arch with a non-net install (to get the older packages) and it worked. Thanks for the help graysky.
If anyone is in the mood for hunting bugs, you might try a fresh netinstall and reproducing my original steps to see if you can reproduce it. Might be worth reporting.

Build a custom kernel

can i have a step by step on how to easily build a custom kernel with abs or whatever. ty

Well, I created this thread because most of the udev talks at this board referred to a custom kernel to speedup the udev events which some have suggested is a bug. With fast computers the udev events loads in a few seconds while slower computers such as a p2 could take perhaps up to a minute to load just the udev events. That issue has been posted at the bugs and such talks about it have been posted at this board going back a few years now.
I have also read at other boards the kernel 2.4 is still very supported. The software that needs the 2.6 kernel is fixed for the 2.4 kernel. So in these regards, the 2.4 kernel can be an important factor for slower computers.
I have tested many distros. Damn small linux (DSL) being the fastest to boot to root with the 2.4 kernel. On my computer it only takes DSL about 20 seconds, slackware-8 about 40 second while arch linux takes 60 seconds with the modified start_udev file and about 90 seconds normally. These three distrols detect the same modules and everything seems to be working fine except the sound card where I have to set it up for each of the distros.
I like this arch linux because I am able to learn linux from the groundup. Such as installing by unetbootin, Packman, modifying a file, and anything else to get to startx, but for the members that have an old computer, there seems to be an ongoing issue of udev. If this udev bug could be fixed, a boot to root would take only about 35 seconds.
It seems to address this udev events issue, a custom kernel is needed. one that does not take 10+ hours to build. a precompiled kernel could addrees this issus until the bug is fixed.

Stock Kernel == vanilla Kernel ?

Hi
is there a difference between the stock/ftp upgraded kernel26 and then vanilla (ftp.kernel.org) Kernel, are there any patches aplied with the ARCH version ? I mean if both have the same version number ?
triple fault

This is the pkgbuild for the stock kernel, as you can see there are several patches apllied.

How to install tools to build a standard kernel module?

Hello!
I am a long time Fedora user trying to switch over to Arch for the ease of customization.
I am trying to build the hybrid_wl driver for my broadcom wireless card, and the requirements section says I need to have "the proper tools, packages, header files and libraries to build a standard kernel module. This is usually done by installing the kernel developer of kernel source package and caries from distro to distro."
I have never messed around with the kernel in Arch (or Fedora, for that matter) so I really have no clue what a standard module even is. What do I need to install to get this driver working?
Any help is welcome!
Thanks,
Jim

What patches are applied to the vanilla kernel to make kernel26?

I tried to find some information on the wiki, but it all it says is "Vanilla kernel with some patches applied". So what patches are applied?

http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/ … l26/trunk/ refers to ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/kernel26/
The paths will change for linux 3.0.

Vanilla kernel with suspend2 support

Hey people,
I have started using the beyond kernel a while ago, because I wanted a precompiled arch kernel with suspend2 support. I used self-compiled vanilla+suspend2 kernels for a while before that, and they were very stable. With beyond, I first got strange bugs, hard to reproduce, suspending or resuming sometimes failed, and the newest version doesn't work at all.
Just for some testing, I compiled a kernel with the same config and patches as kernel26 AND suspend2 patches included. It seems to work great, much stabler than beyond when suspending.
What I am asking is, how many people would be interested if such a kernel would be maintained in community and what kernel modules they would need (I am planning to do rt2500, rt2x00, nvidia and maybe ATI, more if requested).
Please only submit your vote to the poll if you are either a suspend2 user or interested in using suspend2

Do you really want to go to all this trouble, maintain what is in essence a very small but new kernel patchset and all the relevant modules _just_ because suspend2 is a broken in -beyond at the moment? My Dog, I wish I had such time to spend.
Can you give me your definition of "at the moment" please? Or better, name a beyond release where suspend2 was stable. I switched to beyond with 2.6.16 and since then it was always unusable for me. With a vanilla kernel, suspend2 hasn't failed for me in a year or so. With beyond, it failed every time I really needed it.
Admittedly suspend2 may be _generally_ unstable with other patchsets but even still, it'll only take one bulletproof release to invalidate all you are suggesting.
I won't spend the rest of my life waiting for the beyond release that will work. I'd rather do something about it and provide a kernel that is stable and has that very important feature. (And as tpowa wasn't willing to include suspend2 in kernel26 when I asked him, this is the best shot).
Awesome - I dont think I could have said it in better words - however I did try above >
I have tried many patchsets that had suspend2=swap patches but the never worked or not as well as a vanilla kernel with just suspend2-swap patch.
Lets do it.

New Build old hard drive xp

I am building a P6NGM with 2 Gig and a E2200 Intel I am giving up on the old gateway and want to move the Gateway hard drive with programs and data to the new machine it will not start but still starts in the old machine. I have done this with Win 2000 but not XP Can it be done and how?
I did load a already used upgrade is it is not the machine. :(

I found the drivers and got it all working but then put in 2 500gig drives Serial ATA. and there goes a day.
Manual took a while now I have the drives mounted set up in Bios - installed NVIDIA driver for Raid controller - I unitized the Disk Array - and Formated - Now I should use the NVMediaShield Software to set up the array.
Can not find it and the web site says it is optional download it. Sorry no find. Some where in all the updating and down loading I ended up with a Raid Program PAM from Promise Technology but no instructions.
Help!

Reason enough IMO. But anyway... you refer to the Traditional build method in the wiki, but is it possible you didn't really read it? Or maybe you only skimmed it? Did you run make menuconfig? Did you try to build everything in instead of using modules? That mkinitcpio output suggests that you did.
As suggested there for first-timers, it's a good idea to start with a kernel configuration that is known to work - the Arch config is the obvious choice, but there are other sources e.g. http://kernel-seeds.org/ .

It should not (depends how far you want to go). I just did a search and it seems that bug was introduced ~.5
You can always try to build or disable this option from kernel config file.
I don't use rt kernels and in -rc staging drivers just appeared. Because I don't use them, I de-select whole branch, so I don't have your problem. However even if I would enble this, I might not see your error as it seems related to other rt stuff.
sorry that I can't help more.

[solved] vmware server 1.0.4 build 56528 and kernel 2.6.25

hi,
i updated to kernel 2.6.25 and tried to reinstall vmware server 1.0.4 build 56528 according to the wiki description.
running the vmware-any-any-update-117-very-ALPHA.tgz patch failed, because vmware-2.6.25.sh tries to patch vmblock.tar, which does not exist. instead of this there is vmppuser.tar in the sources directory.
any ideas?
thx & rgds

with vmware server 1.0.5 the same problem occurs.

Yeah I have this exact same problem with the current stable version of VMware. I will definitely try the beta 2.0 and see if my laptop can run Autodesk Inventor with it in a virtual Windows environment.

SOLVED: Building a streamlined kernel via modprobed-db

Hi
I was trying to use the modprobed_db daemon (activated by systemd) to collect all used modules on my hardware in order to build a more streamlined kernel.
Here is the wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Modprobed-db
I modified the arch linux PKGBUILD of the kernel by adding these two lines:
sudo /usr/bin/modprobed-db recall
make localmodconfig
Unfortunately the modprobed service doesn't catch the loop module, although I'm using it.
I then tried to simply add some modules in ~/.config/modprobed.db, but this resulted in the error "loop: module not found", when I tried to build the kernel via makepkg.
What is the right way to manually add modules to the modprobed database?
thanks

I made a huge mistake that was the reason for the abovementioned error:
I tried to manually add modules into the modeprobed.db and then do a "recall" during makepkg while being already in a module-wise restricted environment of a previous custom kernel build!
It is clear that the "recall" mechanism during the build cannot work, when the booted kernel/the running system doesn't contain the searched for modules. One has to manually add and recall modules for a custom build from within a fully fledged arch linux generic kernel where everything is at disposition and can in fact be modprobed!
sorry for the inconvenience.

[SOLVED] Building flashcache - need kernel source?

Sorry for noob question, but..
Trying to build flashcache, and it seems that kernel source is required. How do I obtain the source?

Note, that building of flashcache itself completes fine, the issue happens when I install the built module:
