[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?

[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 2.6.34 and bad sound

Hello everyone, I've just updated to kernel 2.6.34 and... surprise! Sound is jerkily if I play a video on my machine. If I watch a video, for instance, from YouTube, both video and audio runs faster.
I'm running Arch x86_64 and
00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
is the audio card.

3. Is this a desktop, or a laptop?
This is Samsung laptop (R20plus, NP-R20FY0C if it helps), three years old, with ATI SB600 chipset and ATI Xpress 1250 onboard VGA card.
It had plenty issues with video (as I said, especially with KMS, but with generic VESA drivers sometimes too), and some problems with correct HDA codec autodetection (until 2.6.33).
Just rebooted into hand-made 2.6.33 under "testing" system, all seems to be OK there.
Also, these glithes are not constant for me, they begin if my system is under load only (not really heavy one, for example, it begin to glitch if I scroll page in Konqueror (my main test for this bug)

[SOLVED] Problem with FGLRX and Ati HD4650

Hi! I'm fede1587 and I'm a new user of Archlinux (but not a new user of Linux). I love it and the KISS philosophy.
Four days ago I intalled the new version of Arch but unfortunately I have a very big problem and after 4 days of work I have not been able to solve it.
I have a Sony Vaio VGN-FW41J with a ATI HD4650. I need Ati proprietary drivers, because with the open source ones, the laptop become too hot. After installing the catalyst legacy pakages (234k, catalyst-utils and catalyst-hook) both from AUR and from the repository (following the great guide in ArchWiki) and configuring, when I lanunch startx, sometimes Gnome starts and sometimes I got black screen with horizontal lines.
I'm searching for solutions from 4 days and I read a lot of topic, and I try a lot of things, but nothing!
Accourding to the various threads, I have:
1) Load the module fglrx
2) Blacklist the radeon module
3) Re-run mkinitcpio
4) Run aticonfig --initial
5) Run aticonfig --acpi-services=off
6) Add nomodeset to grub
After I tried to change kernel (thinking about some incompatibilities). I installed linux-lts, and I try with this kernel, but I have the same issue. I also try whit Bridge Linux, but nothing changed.
This is the only output found in my error.log (Xorg.X.log is empty):

[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.

I was thinking maybe I have to compile a module in or go digging around the kernel, But having semi-recently moved to Arch linux from Gentoo linux I have no idea howto do this in Arch, although I am unsure as to wheither or not I actualy have to.
I appologise if I have left anything out and/or made some dumb mistake.
And yes, all my channels in alsamixer are unmuted

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.

[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.

thanks for your rapid response and i googled about it, but unfortunatelly i dont have a gigLan in the lab but usually all file transfered exceed 5GB of size.
Would the scheduler have a significant impact on performance? The servers are used individually (not sharing load like in a bewoulf cluster)
The disk I/O operations are mostly about writes into the output files (a few number of bytes per write), would reiserfs be superior to ext3 ?
PS.: i'm feeling really stupid for not reading more about the kernel26-lts for it has all the major options i was thinking about.

Hi. I want to compile a custom kernel for my laptop. I want to build in kernel my required modules and not compile the modules i do not need(to speed up compilation times ).
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

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).

[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...

glxgears is not a benchmark. If you're having issues in actually graphically-intensive applications, like games, then say so, but otherwise this output means very little, even though you get higher scores with vesa.

'radeon' DRI needs the 'libgl-dri' package, which conflicts with ati-fglrx-utils. You can't have both installed at the same time - if you didn't remove ati-fglrx-utils and reinstall libgl-dri before trying this, that's likely your problem.

Xorg 6.8/7.0 ATI fglrx 8.22.5 Kernel-Independent Packages

-------NOTICE-------
Iphitus has now made available a lovely set of packages for ATI drivers and xorg 7 in the [testing] repo. I have helped him put them together, and they run like a charm for me.
See this thread for more info.
Since these packages are well thought out and seperate the kernel module from the userland files necessary to run ATI-drivers, I feel that they're a better solution than the packages I have created and presented in this thread. As such, I strongly suggest you use the packages available in the official repos now. While I will not immediately remove the files I have hosted for these packages, I will no longer be maintaining them.
-------PURPOSE-------
Well, as brought up recently in the ati-drivers-arch thread, the way we handle ATI's drivers and Nvidia's drivers is a little different... the officially packaged Nvidia drivers actually build the kernel module on the user's machine, during install time, making it an essentually kernel-independent package. The ATI drivers in community, however, build the module at makepkg time, which ties each package to a specific kernel version.
I personally thought the Nvidia way was a good way.
Therefore, I have decided to make packages that are kernel-independant in the same way nvidia's are -- here they are.
Note: Since creating these, I've been informed that this is not an ideal Arch-way to make packages; read on in this thread for details. In case you want a prebuilt fglrx package, which is dependant on a particular kernel and compiles the driver at build-time instead of install-time, for use with Xorg 7, see this Wiki page: ATI fglrx and Xorg 7
-------KERNEL 2.6.15 Notes-------
ATI has fixed the 2.6.15 kernel problems with version 8.22.5.
-------Xorg 6.8 Notes-------
The package for Xorg 6.8 is currently UNTESTED by me. In theory, it should work fine, since I took the same changes I made to the Xorg 7 package and more-or-less applied them to the ati-drivers-arch package available in [community]
-------Xorg 7 Notes-------
I have tested, and am currently using, the Xorg 7 package linked here with kernel26-archck 2.6.15 from [community] with no noticeable problems.
Additionally, for the Xorg 7 package to work, you'll probably have to create a symlink from /usr/X11R6/lib/modules -> /usr/lib/xorg/modules.
If /usr/X11R6/lib/modules already exists, copy its contents to /usr/lib/xorg/modules, remove it
rm -r /usr/X11R6/lib/modules
then make the link
ln -s /usr/lib/xorg/modules /usr/X11R6/lib/modules
-------Installing Additional Kernel Modules-------
The packages now install a shell script in /opt/ati to facilitate installation of the kernel module for multiple kernels. The kernel module is automatically built and installed for whichever kernel you are running when you install the package, but if you want to install it for additional kernels, follow these steps:
Boot into the kernel you want to install the module for.
Execute:
$ cd /opt/ati
$ ./fglrx_module_setup.sh install
and the script will do the rest. As a bonus, when you uninstall the ati-drivers package, the script will remember which kernels it installed the module for and remove every module, leaving your system sparkling-clean.
If you update your driver in the future, you should be able to run
$ cd /opt/ati
$ ./fglrx_module_setup.sh reinstall
and, if I've done it right (this is untested) it should reinstall the module for every kernel on which it's been previously installed.
-------UPDATE-------
Packages updated to fglrx 8.22.5! New in this release:
NEW FEATURES: (1) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver now supports Linux Kernel 2.6.15.
ISSUES RESOLVED: (1) Creating 22 or more display configuration mode lines in the X Server configuration file no longer results in a fatal server error.
