Cannot use kernel newer than 2.6.16-ARCH

I just got myself a new laptop (Toshiba U205-S5002) and was excited as hell to get Arch installed on it. The install went well.. until I did a pacman -Syu.. my system would freeze upon reboot and the fans would turn on full blast. I did a reinstall and upgraded everything besides kernel26 and it boots up fine. I tried installing kernel26beyond and it does the same thing as before: freezes.
I thought it was an ACPI error, since that's the last bit of text I'd see before the system would freeze, so I did some searching and found a handful of grub commands to try in order to get the system to boot with a newer kernel. I tried acpi=force, acpi=no, nolapci, and some others, but to no avail; the system just froze at different stages. It usually freezes around the ACPI: IRQ statements... other times it freeze at SMP PREEMPT.. and sometimes it says SMP Motherboard not deteched.
I also read that it could be a gcc error. I did a `uname -a` to see which version the kernel was running the the space where it should be is blank. Not just missing, but there is whitespace where it should go. I did a dmesg | grep gcc and found that the kernel is running gcc 4.0, but the installed version (via pacman -Qi gcc) is 4.1 ...
Does anybody have any ideas? This is driving me crazy.
EDIT: more searching uncovered the "nosmp" option. I thought this was going to be my saviour, but, alas, it wasn't. It still hangs, but without all the SMP errors.  :x

phrakture wrote:As far as I know, "nosmp" is crap.  Try recompiling without SMP support and see if that helps... if it does, this is a bigger fish.
I compiled a custom beyond kernel with SMP disabled and it still managed to hang at the "ACPI: Host Bridge" something or another. Thinking that SMP wasn't actually the problem, and after doing some more forum and wiki searching, I compiled the kernel a second time with "ACPI Processor" disabled and it still hung at system startup.
I'm compiling it again with both SMP and ACPI Processor disabled.. hopefully it works this time, otherwise I don't know what else to do.

  • HT4623 Why I cannot use the new feature of phone after I upgraded to ios 6???

    I have already upgraded to iOS 6, but why I still cannot use the new feature of phone??
    I cannot reject calls by sending them message.  What happen??

    While ios 6 is compatable with the iPhone 4, many of its features are not available for the 4. The features need the 4s or 5. See here:
    Turn-by-turn navigation is available only on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 or later with cellular data capability. Flyover is available only on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad 2 or later, and iPod touch (5th generation). Cellular data charges may apply.
    Siri is available in Beta only on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad (3rd generation), and iPod touch (5th generation) and requires Internet access. Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area.  Cellular data charges may apply.
    FaceTime video calling requires a FaceTime-enabled device for the caller and recipient and a Wi-Fi connection. FaceTime over a cellular network requires iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, or iPad (3rd generation) with cellular data capability. Availability over a cellular network depends on carrier policies; data charges may apply.
    Offline Reading List is available on iPhone 4 or later, iPad 2 or later, and iPod touch (5th generation).
    Made for iPhone hearing aids require iPhone 4S or iPhone 5.
    Panorama is available on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPod touch (5th generation).
    Find My iPhone and Find My Friends enable you to locate iOS devices only when they are on and connected to a registered Wi-Fi network or have an active data plan.

  • How can I get a copy of Firefox 3.5 for use with an old piece of equipment that cannot use a newer version?

    I have an old piece of equipment that hasn't been updated in years. When trying to access the internal web page, it states that I need to use Mozilla 3.5 or better. Although the latest version is far superior, this thing doesn't like it. Could really use some help with this. Thanks.

    Hello to all
    another option is to download and install the portable firefox version from the next link, if you want to use it occasionally : http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Ed./
    portable version is more flexible, and you can delete it any time without worries

  • I cannot use my new iPhone 5 which I got from Vodafone UK

    The iPhone was Unlocked by Vodafone and I was able to use O2 UK nano sim card. But now neither Vodafone nor O2 sim cards get signal on my iPhone. Can any one help me out please? I tried factory reset which does not help much. I was able to use my iPhone only for 1 day and thats it

    contact the phone carrier...  or try doing a reset, hold down the home/sleep button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • GPUsniffer.exe will not accept my GeForce GTX 560 Ti using drivers newer than 296.10

    I updated my GPU drivers since the 296.10 version is over a year old, but the Mercury playback hack wouldnt work anymore. I was going bonkers all day today trying to troubleshoot the issue. I uninstaleld and reinstalled a bunch of times. GPUsniffer would give the notice that it "did not find any devices that support GPU computation". I went back to the old drivers and sure enough, GPUsniffer would detect it.
    I wanted to make this post for people googling issues with the hack involving the cuda_supported_cards.txt file involving CUDA enabled GeForce cards that aren't officially approved by Adobe, and also so the engineers at Adobe can maybe look into their end to see if its the GPUsniffer.exe that is the problem with not being able to detect the drivers, or maybe it's Nvidia's problem on their end that the drivers can't be detected. At least you guys can talk to one another to straighten things out.

    OK guys, i just went ahead and made a video showing you exactly what I'm doing and what happens with new and old drivers installed. You'll see that the new drivers simply do not work with everything else necessary to make the hack work remaining constant. In the middle of the video you might want to skip through since there's a long spot where the old drivers are installed.
    I'm totally open to the fact that something could still be wrong on my end, but what can it be when this video shows the only difference between it working and not is clearly a driver change??

  • Has anyone else discovered that their MacBookPro has been set up for 'no available users' and so cannot use any new applications?

    I've had my MacBook Pro for several months. Sadly I've not been able to use it for my work (I'm a  writer) as I couldn't open my software, Final Draft. I installed it several times, uninstalling it each time to avoid glitches, but every time I tried to open it I had an error message, that the permissions had to be reset. I went onto disk utilities and did everything I could to reset/repair. I spent days and weeks on the phone both to Apple and to Final Draft, but no one could help.
    Apple were adamant that it was a software error and so today I bought yet another version of Final Draft (£140), this time from the net, and downloaded that. Same old same old. Once again, over and over,  I followed the  'trouble shooting permissions' advice on the Apple website, still no luck. Finally, finally, tonight, a technician was able to take me through an obscure routine which ended up with the message that my laptop had been set up with 'No Available Users'.
    In effect it's a useless piece of metal and has been from day one.
    Thanks, Apple.
    Anyone else had a laptop set up for no available user?

    I'm not sure that I followed everything, but you got a replacement phone and continue to experience problems? It sounds like a logical move would be to have AT&T replace your SIM card. I would doubt that the size/fit is an issue, these things are a standard size, but replacing the SIM will have an impact on the network set-up that might be the root cause.

  • MacBooks Shouldn't Use Anything Newer Than Tiger for Wireless

    Hi,
    Apple, I'm really sorry to say, but your software blows chunks for wireless connectivity on your laptop computers since Tiger. I have no idea what you have done, but Airport wireless connectivity consistently and sporadically drops and reconnects. This issue has been well documented on the web by many, many users. I had hoped that you resolved this issue in 10.5, but you have obviously not! It looks like I'm going back to 10.4 on my MacBook Pro. Unfortunately, I had defended you and Leopard since it first came out, but I was DEAD WRONG! I REALLY WONDER WHETHER STEVE JOBS TOLERATES HIS MACBOOK PRO DROPPING INTERNET CONNECTIVITY SPORADICALLY! NO, I bet he doesn't. I'm sure his works perfectly well.

    Sorry to hear that. My MacBook's AirPort works flawlessly under 10.5.

    Yes, you can use the 85 watt adaptor. You cannot use the new adaptors because your computer is not equipped with the proper MagSafe connector. But you can use the older MBP adaptors as well as a 60 watt replacement adaptor. All can be found at Apple's Online Store.

  • Re: Satellite L850-0C9 - Cannot use USB3.0 External HDD

    Hello!
    I'm looking for some help from you guys
    because i cannot use my NEW SEAGATE USB 3.0 EXTERNAL HDD 2TB with my labtop (L850-0C9)
    my labtop has 2 blue USB port and i guess it is USB 3.0 and i checked it from manual.
    but when i tried to copy data to the hard disk, and after 1 minute then it keeps showing the message "the destination you have specified does not exist". it happens everytime.
    but i found one interesting point of it that it works great with usb 2.0 port so now i'm using it with that port.
    it shows that the hdd doesn't have problem but my laptop does in my logic.
    so i updated almost every drivers and firmware from support page icluding intel usb 3.0 driver.
    but it is showing the same message as before.
    Does anyone know how to solve it?
    Have a nice easter holiday anyway!!

    nope! it is without AC power unit.
    but it is working okay with usb 2.0 port..

  • I cannot uninstall itunes version 10.7.0.21 from my laptop use of that I also cannot install the new update.

    I cannot uninstall iTunes version 10.7.0.21 from my laptop (windows 7), therefore I cannot install the new iTunes version....!
    Every time I try to do it, a "message" from the windows installer pops up saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable", I try to find the installation package "iTunes.msi" but I can never find it either...!
    The funny part is, I can still use this version, but I would like the have the update, which can make my computer much faster than now!
    Can someone help me out??

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
