Nikal linux kernel 2.6.11.8 build fails

I am trying to install nidaqmxbase-1.5.0-f2, but the install keeps failing. I tried installing with a stock FC3 kernel, but the build has failed. I have since tried again after building a stock linux 2.6.11.8 kernel, but I get the same error message. The "warning: `packed' attribute ignored" in particular is one I haven't seen before.

I found the answer to my question in another thread:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=250&message.id=11286&requireLogin=False
It appears that NI-KAL doesn't like the 2.6.10+ linux kernel due to a change in the API. Both the kernels I tried were 2.6.10 plus.
Perhaps in the next release if nidaqmxbase the latest kernel will be supported? Hint, hint, pretty-please from a paying customer. ;-)

PKIX path building failed Jdeveloper Windows vs Linux

Dear all
I developed an application using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.3.0. This application has a WS client (developed using the Jdeveloper wizard).
The strange part is that in Linux I get a "PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target" error, but in Windows the client works perfectly. The complete error message is below.
I did some research, and I found that I should import some certificates for this to work, but then again in Windows I did nothing like that.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot

Being a total novice on the https/SSL configuration side of things, I've finally managed to dig down to the fact that our external partner of course needs to have a certificate installed in order to run https.
I guess the browser did not prompt and ask for acceptance of this, because it was already verified through one of the standard issuers - VeriSign.
So was then able to export the certificate through IE's Properties>Certificate>Details>Copy To File...
Will then try to import this into the correct domain on the WebLogic server.
(A quick test of the web service from the EM console worked fine. Strange then that executing the service through a partner link in bpel does not work, but I guess it may have to do with a local bpel being exposed as a web service in itself, and that security on both sides is called for... maybe... :-) )

Hi Ganesh!
Thanks a bunch for your quick response...
So, just to be sure about what I need to do:
1.- From the setDomainEnv.cmd I need to remove the part that reads -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=%WL_HOME%\server\lib\DemoTrust.jks...
2.- In the Keystores tab found in WebLogic Console Home > Summary of Servers > AdminServer(admin), change the Keystores current value "Demo Identity and Demo Trust" to the "Custom Identity and Java Standard Trust" option found in the dropdown box.
I have a doubt in number 2... Do I have to do this only in the AdminServer or I have to do it in both, the AdminServer and my ManagedServer (soa_server1)?
Again, thanks for your help, this error was driving me crazy!

[Solved]The linux kernel with build in bootloader?

First of let me apologize if I'm making no sense at all. This isn't really my area of expertise.
I just recently stumbled upon some rather interesting "news" about the linux kernel developers working to implement a an EFI/GTP (I think) bootloader in the kernel it self. I would very much like to know if this is actually true, I'd like to learn more and follow the development, but I haven't been able to find any relevant information, appart from the incomplete mailing list I stumbled upon.
I suspect that I'm simply using the wrong search parameters. Again, it's not like I know too much about what I'm doing.
In any case, if you have even the slightest idea what I'm talking about, please do guide me in the right direction.
Best regards.

Thanks to the info and links the.ridikulus.rat provided, I've now learned a bit more about this stuff (I'm probably still missing a lot ). Basically, rEFIt is a manager that launches bootloaders. With EFI_STUB, the kernel is it's own bootloader, so what you say is indeed possible - start linux from rEFIt without going through grub/syslinux. Well, it would be possible if there wasn't for one huge problem - rEFIt doesn't allow passing options, which is needed in this case. But that's where rEFIt's fork (rEFInd) comes into play.
Further, there are patches on the kernel mailing list that will make it possible for an EFI_STUB kernel to read options from a file. Then not even rEFInd will be needed. Strictly speaking it isn't needed even now, but you need to type the options manually on the efi shell, which isn't very convenient. Fun stuff all this, innit? . It's a whole new crazy world.
Cool, thanks for the pro-active research!

LSI SAS 1064 Linux kernel build on x4600

Has anyone built a newer Linux kernel on a x4600 that uses the LSI SAS 1064 controller?
I don't seem to be able to get it to mount the partition after it reads the ramdisk.
Thanks in advance.

Is RDAC supported in Oracle Unbreakable Linux kernel 2.6.32-100.0.19.el5?

Dear,
Is RDAC supported in Oracle Unbreakable Linux Kernel 2.6.32-100.0.19.el5?
If supported, please point to the download link.
We require this in order to plan for the OEL 5.5 kernel upgrade to ULK and to connect SUN SAN storage array 6180.
Thanks,
...basha

From what I can gather you will need to compile the driver from source in order to use the RDAC driver with the UEK kernel. Chances are that it won't compile properly under the UEK kernel, which is more up to date than the RHEL kernel.
You will have to start the system from the supplied original RHEL kernel in order to use the binary IBM RDAC driver distribution. The following is available: http://www.lsi.com/sep/Pages/rdac/ds4000.aspx and http://www.lsi.com/sep/Pages/rdac/ds3000.aspx
You may however be able to use Multipath, which is build in also in the UEK kernel. To get the current supported configurations for IBM System Storage it is best to use the interoperability matrices located at http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/storage/product/interop.html. You can use the link to the "System Storage Interoperation Center (SSIC)" to query your specific configuration (http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/support/storage/ssic/interoperability.wss)

The latest stable version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.25 !!!

The latest stable version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.25
as u know

No, it's not under heavy development, it is almost complete. The only missing part is the "dalayed allocation". The on-disk format, as I've already said, shouldn't change anymore.
With this patch series, it is expected that ext4 format should be settling
down. We still have delayed allocation and online defrag which aren't
quite ready to merge, but those shouldn't affect the on-disk format.
I don't expect any other on-disk format changes to show up after this
point, but I've been wrong before.... any such changes would have to
have a Really Good Reason, though.
Source: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/21/392
If you read this carefully, you don't want to use ext4 just now. You also should consider that ext4 is virtually untested compared to filesystems like ext3 which has been used for years in many production environments. I wouldn't read "I don't expect any other on-disk format changes" as "There will be no more changes" if I had important data.
brain0 wrote:Second, we don't have a single filesystem built into the kernel, they are all modular - and I don't see a reason why this should ever change.
I remembered some filesystems were "built-in". Evidently I remember wrong (well... and I remember the filesystem for the root partition had to be built into the kernel, but my knowledge on this point is not very updated).
You're so 90's. If we would build everything into the kernel that everyone needed to boot, it would be 5MB or 10MB instead of just 2MB. Everything is as modular as possible now (there are some exceptions which should be ironed out in one of the next releases).

Modifying the stock arch linux kernel and kernel timer frequency

so if i understand correctly, if we want to modify the stock arch linux kernel, we have to pull it off of abs. ie "ABSROOT=. abs core/linux" then modify the pkgbuild, uncommenting out make menuconfig and setting the pkgbase name to something different than stock. ie, "linux-custom" then update the checksums followed by importing the gpg keys, ie "gpg --recv-keys 79BE3E4300411886 and gpg --recv-keys 38DBBDC86092693E" for the kernel and patches. then run makepkg -s.
we can't just run make menuconfig on the current kernel that's installed?
and if we pull the linux kernel from abs to customize, does it already come preconfigured with all the arch changes and settings? like its no different than the current one installed?
i just ask because for the most part, i like the current arch kernel, there are just a few minor things i want to change but kept everything else the same as stock arch linux kernel.
also, i herd arch uses 300hz for its timer. whats the benefits and disadvantage of using 300hz over 1000hz for a desktop system?

orlfman wrote:we can't just run make menuconfig on the current kernel that's installed?
No you can't, because the kernel then has to be compiled so the kernel will run with the different tick rate.

As I understand it from the Wiki, the ABS pulls the PKGBUILD and other arch-specific sources from the ArchLinux script server. However, I don't use the ABS, but pull the files I need directly from the ArchLinux SVN and build using makepkg[1] after making the necessary changes.

You're in for a technical discussion here. This has a reasonably friendly discussion on kernel tick rates.
Basically, higher tick rates = a higher level of timing precision & higher processor load, lower tick rates = lower level of timing precision & lower processor load.
[1] Technically, I use the clean chroot manager package, which is a wrapper for makechrootpkg (which in turn is a wrapper for running makepkg in a clean chroot if I'm not mistaken).

Upgrade linux kernel

Hello.
I have a v20z server with Red Hat Enterprise V3 installed(kernel 2.4.21) and I want to upgrade to 2.6.14 kernel for real time reasons. I just compile and install this kernel(using http://www.digitalhermit.com/linux/Kernel-Build-HOWTO.html as guide), but when I restart the computer, a kernel panic appears after load the modules. This is the message :
Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0).
I think grub is not the problem. When I boot up with 2.4.21 kernel, when the mptscsih module is loaded, some information about my scsi disks appears, but with 2.6.14 mptscsih, I can��t see any information. I suppose my kernel��s configuration is incorrect, but I don��t know where is the mistake. The scsi support is compiled as part of the kernel.
Any ideas will be wellcome.
Well, and sorry for my horrible english

Sorry Bill, I should have made that point myself, I actually noticed the thread and answered it without thinking about what furum it should be. Aside from the fact that the thread is incorrectly posted here on the hardware forum, Ivan has also overlooked basic troubleshooting for custom Linux kernels: if the complied kernel fails to boot on a systems that a standard kernel loads perfectly, the configuration file did not include support for that device. The only way to recover is to reconfigure and recompile including support for the device. If Ivan links to the forum that he moves the thread to I'd be happy to continue discussing it there. Perhaps the V6x forum should be renamed to x86:

MDM Not Able To Load Linux Kernel Images Larger Than 32MB?

Hi All,
I've been building linux initramfs images for use with a Kintex7 (KC705) running a MicroBlaze processor and have been running into an issue with loading the images using the MicroBlaze Debug Module. It seems the system won’t boot if the image is larger than 32 MB. Unfortunately, my use case requires all application code to be contained in the kernel image and I won't have local non-volatile to boot from.
Some key factors:
Petalinux 2014.4
FPGA image built using Vivado 2014.4 on Windows 7
1GB RAM on KC705
Loading images using TCL script on XMD on Windows 7
As an example, I built an image that would fit within the 32 byte "limit" and booted it with no issues:

I've also tried the same test with a plain Petalinux image and none of my application code or other customizations to rule out a configuration issue. Additionally, I've tried updating Vivado to 2015.2 and rebuilding the FPGA image, also with no success.
FYI, here is the TCL script used to load the images:
fpga -f system_top.bit
connect mb mdm
after 2000
dow simpleImage.mb
con
disconnect 0
I've done a bunch of research on initramfs and haven't seen anything that points to a size limit (except as it relates to RAM size). Anyone have an idea what's going on?
Thanks!
-Nick

Some additional information:
When the system fails to boot, there is no error message displayed either on the XMD window or the linux console output. The console remains blank.
I have been able to add random files to the ramdisk that do not push the size over the 32MB boundary and the system successfully boots.

FX5600 fails under Linux kernel 2.4.22

I’m attempting to make an FX 5600 graphics card work with Red Hat Linux 9 kernel 2.4.22 1 2115 n.
I’ve downloaded and installed the NVIDIA driver from http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-4496
It worked fine last week when I was running the 2.4.20 kernel. The NVIDIA driver for the FX 5600 card installed without error and worked fine. But Linux 2.4.20 would not recognize the Ethernet card that is onboard the MSI 875P Neo motherboard. The website http://www.linuxhardware.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/19/1521256&mode=thread
Says I must have a newer kernel, 2.4.21 or higher before Linux would work with all the features of the MSI 875P Neo motherboard.
With a lot of help from a friend at work the new kernel, 2.4.22, has been installed. But it’s disabled my NVIDIA driver for the FX 5600. And the NVIDIA driver won’t install under the new kernel, returning an error message saying:
“ERROR: Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module.”
I’ve been studying the support documentation, the README text file for the driver linked to on the NVIDIA download page. But I’ve not found an answer to this problem.
The NVIDIA page, under support, says to contact the manufacturer if you have any problems. So here I am. Any suggestions?
Any estimates on how long it will be before the NVIDIA driver set is updated to support Linux kernel 2.4.22 ?

Maybe this thread will help you:

Linux: Kernel Preemption, To Enable Or Not To Enable

The default 2.6.4 Arch Linux kernel .config has 'CONFIG_PREEMPT=y'.
Not everyone has been happy with kernel preemption, however. There is an interesting discussion of this under the title "Linux: Kernel Preemption, To Enable Or Not To Enable at http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/2702
The text of the article is repeated here:
"A recent bug report on the lkml complained of significant performance degradation from enabling CONFIG_PREEMPT, kernel preemption. 2.6 kernel maintainer Andrew Morton [interview] pointed out that such degradation from enabling kernel preemption is not normal, instead likely from it triggering a bug. However, an interesting conversation on the merits of kernel preemption followed.
Andrea Arcangeli, author of the 2.4 virtual memory subsystem, bluntly suggested, "keep preempt turned off always, it's useless. Preempt just wastes cpu with tons of branches in fast paths that should take one cycle instead." Andrew Morton noted, "preempt is overrated." However, he went on to point out that kernel preemption has been very useful in detecting locking bugs. He added, "it has been demonstrated that preempt improves the average latency. But not worst-case, because those paths tend to be under spinlock."
Robert Love [interview] replied directly to Andrea's comments saying, "I think you are really blowing the overhead of kernel preemption out of proportion," going on to agree with Andrew's statements. He further explained:
"I also feel you underestimate the improvements kernel preemption gives. Yes, the absolute worst case latency probably remains because it tends to occur under lock (although, it is now easier to pinpoint that latency and work some magic on the locks). But the variance of the latency goes way down, too. We smooth out the curve. And these are differences that matter."
There is more discussion and feedback with the article (including the original bug report).

I like preemption. it the "democracy" heaven of processes and threads. This post was interesting, but the point is this bug..?
if the bug is found, who can say that preemption in the kernel is not a good idea?
thanks for posting though ;P

Unable to run PL/SQL Cartridge (OAS 4.0.8.1, Redhat Linux Kernel 2.2, Oracle 8.1.5)

PL/SQL Cartridge server refuses to come up.
Config:
=======
OAS 4.0.8.1 on Redhat Linux Kernel 2.2
Oracle 8.1.5 on Windows NT
Remote access to the database using connect string
The Linux m/c and NT m/c have recommended system requirements and domain registering. I could invoke the procedure from SQL plus and view the HTML contents using owa_util.showpage. Also, I could install PL/SQL Web Toolkit using the same DAD. But Cartridge server just refuses to come up. If anyone has a solution for this, it would be a great help!!
P.S: Attached below is wrb.log

We had the same problem with the PL/SQL cartridge (OWS-04764 ...). We solved our problem with a new kernel. Its important that you have a kernel with symmetric multi-processing support (SMP) enabled, independent if you have a one or two processor machine.
I hope it will help you.

[SOLVED] Intel i7-3920XM Laptop CPU Linux Kernel Support

Recently, I purchased a laptop with an Intel i7-3920XM CPU, with the intention of utilizing it for scientific computing (I've become strongly interested in machine learning and artificial neural networks). Supposedly, the CPU has a variable clock speed of 2.90 -- 3.80 GHz, which would be great, but my kernel has throttled it to 1200MHz. I've tried both the cpufreq performance and userspace kernel modules (configured for performance), but the laptop stubbornly refuses to increase the clockspeed more than 1200MHz; I gave up on cpufreq and have uninstalled it. I've read some accounts that it is possible that the Linux kernel may not support my CPU yet --- does anybody know if that is the case? If it is not, can anybody point me to some literature describing how to un-throttle my CPU?

CPU frequency scaling is enabled by default, 1200MHz is fine for your processor as it's lowest frequency I have the 3960x and it's lowest frequency is 1200MHz as well.
You should just leave things as they are, if you can actually feel sluggish performance ( I don't with 6 cores @ 1200MHz) you can try this:- https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cp … erformance
Which will liven things up a bit at the cost of more battery juice.
EDIT/ compile something and whilst compiling
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz
to see what's reported at full load, but be aware it still may not report correctly due to turbo.

I would agree with you if that was what the argument was about. I said the same thing about i7z as you just did, which is why i suggested it. as I understand it. your telling him 1.2 Ghz is an acceptable min and i would agree.How i am interperting his thread is 2.90 Ghz is his base. 3.80 Ghz is his max turbo. His CPU under 100 % load will not rise above 1.2 Ghz despite his stock clock is actually 2.90 Ghz. I can honestly say that this is the more likely story because my i7 did the same thing. on battery the max it would clock up to while runing /dev/urandom > /dev/null was 1.2 Ghz, while on Ac it would even turbo correctly. by unloading the module. my proccessor would clock as expected 800 mhz min 3.4 max turbo. and if you look he even used the performance governor to try to increase the clock
Ya, really the OP did not tell us 'how' he was reading his CPU speed....

runny6play: If deltaecho is also seeing these same slow speeds in i7z then both you and he should look into your BIOS settings. For sure this would be a BIOS setting on a ThinkPad. "If on battery....slow... if on AC...fast".
Yes, it is the Linux Kernel that is no "Reporting" the correct speed. This is a known bug. However, there is nothing wrong with your CPU. It is running at High Speed.. Like this is the read out from my Kernel at idle...
[user@archtop:~]% sudo cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz
[sudo] password for user:
cpu MHz : 1200.000
cpu MHz : 1200.000
cpu MHz : 2901.000
cpu MHz : 1200.000
The BEST way to test your CPU is, again i7z then compile some code... Like change the MAKEFLAGS="-j4" to -j1 for 1 thread, -j2 for 2 threads.... and so on. Compiling software will push your CPU all the way up.
When testing like this, i7z will show on 1 thread my CPU runs at 3.6GHz, on all 4 threads it runs at 3.4GHz, as it should. However, /proc/cpuinfo will only say wacky stuff like cpu MHz: 1200.000 cpu MHz: 2901.000
