[Solved] Kernel 2.6.17-beyond, suspend2 and raid swap.

Hi all,
I'm using the 2.6.17-beyond kernel (x86-64) and would like to resume with suspend2.
My root and swap are parititions are software raids and this seems to cause some undesired behaviour.
The resume (hook?) loads before the software raids are assembled durring boot. That mean it can't find / (/dev/mdX) or swap (/dev/mdY), hence I can't resume and it fallbacks to a normal boot.
So, is there a way to force the raids devices to assemble before the resume?
Some info from mkinitcpio.conf:
MODULES="sd_mod sata_sil sata_nv raid0 raid1 ext3 reiserfs"
HOOKS="base udev resume"
grub.conf
[code]
kernel /vmlinuz26beyond root=/dev/md2 ro md=2,/dev/sda2,/dev/sdb2  md=6,/dev/sda6,/dev/sdb6 resume2=swap:/dev/md6
[code]
Thanks in advance,
Nicholai

That did the trick. Suspend2 works like a charm.
Thanks for the quick reply.

  • [solved] kernel-2.6.20.1-1 and ati-fglrx

    Hi,
    I updated to kernel26-2.6.20.1-1 and reinstalled the ati-fglrx package.
    If I try to modprobe the fglrx module I get this error
    FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.20-ARCH/video/fglrx.ko): Invalid module format
    Seems that the current ati-fglrx package was compiled against kernel-2.6.20 and not against the latest kernel (2.6.20.1) cause with the 2.6.20 kernel package it worked...

    hmm, I compiled the kernel with abs and changed the config (speedstepping does not work correctly with the stock config).
    I changed also the CPU-type to PentiumM. I think that's the problem, isn't it?
    p.s.
    I have another problem with my printer.

    Is it possible that the self compiled kernel is the reason for that problem?

    nope, should work fine, i remember seeing this on one of my computers and there were no problems. that said, it shouldnt appear in any future versions.

  • [SOLVED] Kernel panic for an unknown reason

    [Solved] Steps done to solve it:
    0. Panic because I couldn't play starcraft2 (this step is sooo important! ;)
    1. Updated my mirrorlist.
    2. Forced a refresh on the package list from the new mirrorlist. "pacman -Syy"
    3. Downgraded the kernel.
    4. Deleted the latest kernel package from the pacman cache.
    5. Updated the system. (pacman -Syu)
    6. Thanked lilsirecho for helping out!
    7. Profit
    Hi all
    I just did a "pacman -Syu" this afternoon and after that I'm getting kernel panics for unknown reasons.
    edit: I had kernel 3.0.4 befure syu and I have kernel 3.0.7 now. I tried downgrading wine and the kernel with no success.
    It first happened when I tried to run StarCraft2 with wine. I even created a post looking for help because of that.
    Later on I tested another game, just in case, and it crashed too.
    Looks like a wine problem, right? Or even a graphics driver problem.
    That's what I thought too. But then I tried to update with "yaourt -Syu --aur" and in the first package compression it freezed once again. And it does fail everytime I try to update with yaourt during the compression phase.
    What do this situations have in common?
    My opinion is that they all require a lot of resources. StarCraft 2 puts my PC at 100% almost all the time. The other game is pretty old, but it freezed during an "environment loading" phase, right when the map was loading. The compression phase of yaourt also consumes a lot of resources.
    This is my view of this problem, but I could be completely wrong.
    What I need is help finding what is the real source of this kernel panics. I don't know where to look for the logs or the error reports when a kernel panic occurs.
    I hope someone can help me trace the problem somehow. I think I'm lost
    ty in advance.
    cheers!

    Possibly caused by a mirror download.
    Perhaps you need to revert kernel and insure you have the latest mirrorlist and then syu again.
    When I saw your response I thought: "Why should that be true? I downgraded the kernel with no success. Doesn't make much sense".
    But then I did what you said:
    Downgraded the kernel back to 3.0.4.
    Moved the latest mirrorlist.pacnew I had to be the mirrorlist in use.
    Then did a "pacman -Syyu".
    And, miraculously, it works fine now.
    How in the world did you know that could be the reason? It would have been the last possibility I would have thought about, no doubt about that
    Thank you very much lilsirecho. Your post really helped me.
    Not gonna mark this as SOLVED yet. Yesterday I marked my other thread as solved too soon and I regretted my decision.
    I will leave a 1week time-frame to be 100% sure that it is fixed, just in case.

  • I'm running Windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite A505-S6035 while running Firefox 4 Beta my video card crashes on a regular basis. Solved it by uninstalling Firefox 4 Beta and running Firefox 3.6. Update for a Firefox 4 Beta?

    After installing Firefox 4 Beta my graphics card keept crashing on my laptop. After looking at the reliability report on the laptop i noticed that a key event that happend shortly before the video crashing began was that i installed Firefox 4 Beta. From this i uninstalled Firefox 4 Beta and went back to Firefox 3.6. My laptop has not had a video crash since then.

    Thanks for your reply! Actually, yesterday I upgraded to the new kernel (version 3.4.3-1) and my laptop has not freezed since then. So, maybe I will wait for a couple of days and hopefully mark this as solved.

  • [SOLVED] Kernel will not boot. No early hooks, nothing...

    I am having some serious trouble getting my machine to boot. It never even gets to ":: running early hooks (udev)."
    I normally shut it down every night, but I recently kept in on for a few days straight. I was having some trouble with a USB flash drive being read-only in Windows 8 in VirtualBox. I shut down Windows 8 and then arch wouldn't even read the flash drive. I'm pretty sure that pacman updated the kernel since I last shut down the machine, so I decided to restart just for good measure. I never got back in...
    I am UEFI booting, running LVM on top of LUKS on top of two Samsung 830 256GB SSDs in mdadm raid 0. I have encrypted root and no swap. I have /boot mounted on a 512MB FAT32 partition and use a straight efibootmgr entry to start the system. It has worked fine until today.
    My mkinitcpio.conf has
    # vim:set ft=sh
    # MODULES
    # The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules in this array.
    MODULES="ahci dm_mod dm_crypt aes_x86_64 raid0"

    # This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to override the actual binaries included by a given hook
    # BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
    BINARIES=""
    # FILES
    # This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
    # Some users may wish to include modprobe.conf for custom module options like so:
    # FILES="/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf"

    # This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
    # Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for help on a given hook.
    # 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
    # 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
    # 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
    # Examples:
    ## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
    ## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.

  • Muse and the beyond annoying and awkward menus help with French titles with accents that don't work?

    I am doing a French/English site.  The only way I can do this is do two sites and then do creative linking.  That sucks.  Go Live allowed me to have as many pages as I wanted and Menu Machine worked pretty decently as it allowed me to have different menus so a bilingual site was a piece of cake.  Now I have to do two different sites and the problem is some of the page names in french have accents as needed in that language.  The village idiots at adobe did not take that into account and now of couse I have an issue and will need to create navigation for the french elsewhere and import as a graphic.  This is beyond stupid.  Anybody have a solution. Adobe told me too bad so sad the software is in its' infancy. Well then why the hell did they get rid of Golive which worked well for designers.  Because Muse is so dumbed down I am not able to do anything about the menus as the menus are dictated by the page names.  If you decide to do a manual menu you can not have just words with state changes as the bloody menus sytem will not allow that. The design requires just the words having state changes this is not abnormal.  REALLY.  I am beyond frustrated and pissed off and equally pissed off Adobe hangs us out to dry not even having phone contact just some dudes in Inia on the chat which sucked.  Any solutions? Anybody at Adobe actually understand this is a problem and might suggest it will be fixed in updates but in the meantime help me solve th eproblem easily.  I can live without stupid scrolling I would rather have solid software that is easy to use and some degree of fleixibility if you are a seasoned designer who does a lot of web. But dumbed down for the folks who just want to do a simple site.  Yikes this is frustrating. Any help would be appreciated.

    Village idiot here, apparently...
    In Page Properties you can independently set the page name (used in menu widgets), the page title (displayed in the browser tab) and the file name for the .html file for the page.
    To create a menu where only the appearance of the text change across states:
    1) select a menu item
    2) select each state in the State panel and click the trash can to clear all pre-existing state-specific formating
    3) choose the Normal state and set all the text formatting that will be the same across all states
    4) select mouse down, roll over or active state
    4) set the text properties you want for that state in the Text Panel
    5) repeat for the other two states
    6) you may want to set the fill and stroke on the menu item Normal state to none, so only the text of the menu items is visible
    The automatic "All Pages" and "Top Level" pages menu functionality is currently limited to being site-wide, so for the multi-lingual site you describe your choices are to have one automatic and one manual menu, two manual menus, or create two sites. It depends on the size of your site, the complexity of your menu and your personal preference which is best for your case.
    If accents are not being preserved through your workflow, please share:
    1) URL for an example page that demonstrates mangled accents
    2) How you're uploading your site? Publish to BC? File > Upload to FTP Host? Export and external FTP client?
    3) If you're not hosting with Adobe (BC), who's your hosting provider.
    If accents are not being preserved that generally indicates a problem with how the files are being transferred to the server and/or a problem with how the server is configured. The output of Muse fully supports accented characters throughout the workflow.

    Don't worry, ask as many questions you like, that's how people learn new stuff
    1. You can download the the latest kernel and build it with your own PKGBUILD or use an example found on wiki:
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ker … n_with_ABS
    2. Or you can use the official PKGBUILD via abs.
    Install abs:
    pacman -Sy abs
    Specify abs to fetch only the linux kernel:
    abs core/kernel26
    Copy the kernel26 directory from /var/abs/core/kernel26 to your home directory. And then use makepkg to build your kernel. Further reference:
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ABS
    It's important to know that if you build from abs, you'll have change the PKGBUILD, in order to patch the kernel that is being automatically downloaded and compiled.  You need to instruct makepkg through PKGBUILD to include the new alsa driver. If you extract the kernel you downloaded, and know where to copy the new alsa files, you'll be able to add some lines to the PKGBUILD before it compiles the kernel.
    3. Another option you have is to build the alsa module without compiling the entire kernel. I mean you have the kernel source installed, so all you need to do is ./configure, make and make install in the alsa-driver directory. Download the latest alsa driver and read the INSTALL file for further instructions.
    Yea, the new version of alsa is 1.0.19, which will be officially included in the next kernel release.

  • Older 2.6 kernels with ck (or beyond) patchsets don't compile

    Hello! I'm trying to compile 2.6.17 kernel with ck or beyond patchset (i need this one because one of my drivers can be compiled only with 2.6.17 and i really like ck). I can't play with abs because kernel's PKGCONFIG is too complicated for me (and actual probably has small problem when it's necessary to deal with 4 parts kernel names like 2.6.17.7 etc.), if somebody has one working  PKGCONFIG (any 2.6.17 with properly beyond or ck) i can try it, thank you.
    I was trying to deal with my problem by downloading sources from kernel.org (of course they build properly and work) and patching by appropriate patch from beyond or ck's page. But during compilation i always get errors like
    fs/splice.c:1381: error: redefinition of 'link_ipipe_prep'
    fs/splice.c:1302: error: previous definition of 'link_ipipe_prep' was here
    fs/splice.c:1419: error: redefinition of 'link_opipe_prep'
    fs/splice.c:1340: error: previous definition of 'link_opipe_prep' was here
    it isn't of course alway splice.c but it alway errors like that. My friend suggested that it could be problem with gcc4 is it possible? Or does anyone know solution for my problem?
    Big Thanks

    As you haven't been entirely clear about what you're doing, let me outline what I would do in your situation:
    - get the 2.6.17 tarball from kernel.org - that's 2.6.17 ONLY, not 2.6.17.y
    - get the 2.6.17-ck1 patch tarball from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ … .6.17-ck1/
    - get the corresponding kernel config from cvs.archlinux.org
    - get the corresponding PKGBUILD and associated build files from cvs.archlinux.org (optional - only required if you want to use the Arch Build System)
    - build
    Actually, there may be a shortcut (just occurred to me while typing) - there are a couple of mirrors that archive old versions of Arch packages. They don't do all of them, but you might be lucky. They're listed on the "Downgrading Packages" wiki page.
    Just for curiosity, what driver do you need 2.6.17 for?

  • [solved] kernel configuration for clarkdale server

    Update: I guess since the arch kernel config works there's really nothing to improve.
    Hey everyone,
    i'm about to compile a kernel for a server with intel clarkdale hardware, intel i3-530.
    Up to now i only compiled kernels for my consumer laptop.
    1) Is there any option in particular i should pay attention to when compiling a kernel for a server system?
    And regarding the i3-530:
    2) Should i just pick x86 generic cpu support or something else?
    3) Are there any patches right now to improve support for clarkdale?
    Thanks,
    demian
    P.S.: I guess i should choose 2.6.33-rc7 since real clarkdale support is supposed to come with 2.6.33? Usually i just pick the latest stable version.

    I want to ask what method did you used(the one who made this) to generate a .config file that is tuned for your computer.(I tried to build into the kernel the modules listed by lsmod and remove the other modules but not all modules listed by lsmod are in the .config,  ) I realy do not want to compile unneeded drivers as modules because on my machine it takes a lot of time , more then 2 hours to build a kernel
    Thx for you reading ths

    Linux kernel in a nutshell offers some great tips and scripts on configuring the kernel for your hardware http://www.kroah.com/lkn/ .
    Hwdetect, lspci, and some hunting around /sys can also help. Issues about not finding config options for lsmod output may be just due to naming; modinfo and modprobe -l can help with, that but you may need to go down to the individual Makefiles to get the exact config option (easier to just google methinks).
    cheers,
    EDIT:
    Here's a nice script that I just came across. I haven't used it but it's seems like a great way to automagically trim your unused modules from your config: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/18/203

  • [SOLVED] Kernel 2.6.38 disables Broadcom Wireless driver

    I installed Arch with kernel26 version 2.6.34 (with same kernel26-headers version), built the module for my broadcom (4312 - broadcom-wl driver), and eventually got wireless internet capability. However, after upgrading the kernel version to 2.6.38, while trying to load my driver I get the error "Module wl not found." Moving the wl.ko module file into the correct directory for the new kernel drivers, I get the message "invalid module format." So I tried rebuilding the module, but I now receive the error "error: implicit declaration of function 'init_MUTEX'" during the build process.
    I have tried downgrading the kernel back to 2.6.34 and I can get wireless after rebuilding the module. But is there is any way right now for me to use the newest kernel26 version AND have my wireless driver working?

    oh, sorry, I forgot to mention that you had to get it from AUR (thought it was obvious, didn't see you post count, you must be relatively new to arch, welcome)
    *Always* use the AUR package if there's one available. It will work most of the time (some of them are outdated and will fail to build).
    *Always* use pacman to install stuff. Personally, I've almost never installed from source. If something is not in AUR or the AUR package does not build, it's always better to write your own PKGBUILD to install stuff. This way you're sure that:
    1) you won't overwrite an existing system (or not system) file
    2) you can uninstall the package completely and cleanly with a pacman -R
    Sticking to that principles, I haven't had to re-install my system for the past 2 years...

    Under the answer you want to mark as correct you should see a box that says Correct with a green symbol to the left and a box with Helpful with an orange star to the left. Click on the one you want.
