[Solved] Parallel kernels with 2.6.32

I like to keep a vanilla kernel installed along with my custom kernel just in case something ever goes wrong. With the way the PKGBUILD for 2.6.32 was restructured, does this mean I need to build separate (and differently named) headers for each kernel?
I ask because I did not rename my headers package when I built my custom kernel and it seems to be preventing me from building vbox or nvidia kernel modules for more than one kernel at a time. That is, both my header packages have the same name. I install the custom headers, and I can build modules for custom, but get errors for vanilla. I install vanilla headers out of the testing repo, and the reverse is true.
Semi-related: can I somehow rename the custom package I've built after the fact? Or would it be too much to cover and I'm better off just rebuilding?

Rebuilding would be needed to change stuff, unless you want to manually modify .pkgfile or something. Bad idea .
If you look at the AUR, there's various kernels which work OOTB without needing kernel26-headers. They're still using the 'old' format of the previous kernel26 package, without splitting to headers. I think for custom kernels that makes the most sense, honestly. I use kernel26-ice and kernel26-rt-ice myself, both don't need kernel26-headers
This is an idea I had not thought of. I assumed headers were split off as a necessity. Thanks, I'll look at these packages.
As a side note, recompiling separately named headers did not work and still managed to overwrite each other.
Update: Unless there's something invisible and horrible about using it, the old 2.6.31 PKGBUILD yields a package for .32 as well. Good show.
If you want to make another kernel26-headers package, you'd need to make sure all relevant files are moved to the correct location (/lib/modules/2.6.32-parallel for example). I'm sure you should be able to figure out how to do that by modifying the kernel26-headers PKGBUILD, for myself I haven't found the need to do so yet.

[Solved] Compiling kernel with 'localmodcfg' - 'brcmsmac' missing

Hi all,
I want to compile my own optimized ck-kernel with localmodcfg="y" which works mostly.
However there is a small problem.
The module 'brcmsmac' for the WLAN card is never included although it is listed in my modprobed.db.
Does someone have any clue what could be the cause?
Thanks
Radioactiveman

A minor fix for the patch by Steven Rostedt solved my issue.
I have compiled linux-ck 3.2.1-2 with localmodconfig today and brcmsmac is now included.
Marking the thread as solved, thanks to Steve.

[SOLVED] Managing Kernels with rEFInd

Hey fellows hope you're all doing great.
I just have some questions regarding refind boot manager which I use to dual boot arch and windows on my laptop.
Before I installed arch,I installed refind boot manager from windows 8 using the guide on the rodsmith website.
Then I went on and installed arch,and everything worked right away.
On the arch system I mounted the efi partition to the
boot folder using fstab.
UUID="502D-3405" /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 1¬
/dev/sda2: UUID="502D-3405" TYPE="vfat" PARTLABEL="EFI system partition" PARTUUID="85674c9f-2484-4b3b-bb97-2205e8d9da1c"
so what resides now in my boot folder next to the efi folder,are the files (initramfs-linux.img, initramfs-linux-fallback.img
and vmlinuz-linux)
to make a long story short,I'm trying to create a custom entry in refind to boot into the kernel with modified parameters.
I just added this stanza to the defualt refind.conf file in (/boot/efi/EFI/refind/)
#Custom.Kernel Test
menuentry "Arch Linux" {
icon /EFI/refind/icons/os_arch.icns
loader /boot/vmlinuz-linux
initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img
options "root=PARTUUID=5b772462-68e1-463c-b22f-8ff22625ec21 rw rootfstype=ext4 pcie_aspm=force i915.i915_enable_rc6=1"
blkid
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="root" UUID="310f4bbc-0a2c-4667-a397-d020a7c94177" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="5b772462-68e1-463c-b22f-8ff22625ec21"
The entry is there,but the the system won't boot.I also tried compiling a custom kernel the traditional way using the guide on the wiki,the kernel and the img are created another entry for the custom kernel which showed up on the refind menu,when I select it,error that the loader is not found while loading vmlinuz comes up although all the files are in the boot directory.
Is there any thing I'm missing to make the new kernel bootable ?
Last edited by Herbalist (2014-08-01 12:24:30)

It seems as if you have two drives: one containing the efi-partition (sda2) and one containing your system (sdb)
On which partition is your boot folder you put the kernel images in?
If your kernel files are NOT on the efi partition you need to specify that using the 'volume' token as described here because the paths for 'loader' and such are relative to the efi partition or the specified volume.

[Solved] Compiling a new kernel with ABS

I've made it through the whole process outlined in the wiki, up to installing with pacman. Pacman is telling me that the stock arch kernel is a conflicting package and wants to remove it. I want to hang on to it in case I've messed something up. What am I doing wrong? I know you can have two kernels installed. Using the traditional way I can get this, but I'd rather keep to doing things The Arch Way.

Pactching kernel with fbsplash.patch (SOLVED)

Never patched a kernel before and i'm having problems!!
This what i've done so far (as root):
1. Installed kernel26-ck (2.6.22-ck) with pacman and rebooted into arch using that kernel
2. downloaded the fbsplash via (genpatches-2.6.22-1.extras.tar.bz2)
3. put the splash.patch file into /usr/src
4. made a symlink for current kernel in /usr/src; giving /usr/src/linux --> /usr/src/linux/linux-2.6.22-ck
5. cd /usr/src/linux
6. patch -p1 < ../splash.patch
# NOTE: looking into using the abs method of PKGBUILD'ing a custom kernel with patches - hopefully i'll do better!!
The best way to do this is by emulating the abs versions of the standard kernel as described in these forums
1. copy the abs version of the stock kernel26
2. adjust the PKGBUILD to include spock's patch (not gentoo's)
3. makepkg
4. pacman -U the new kernel
Then get on with fbsplash!

Can anyone write step by step what shuld I do?
Thanks for any help in advice.

Not that it answers your question but I have been using the latest beyond kernel since it came out and have had no problem with mounting and using ntfs disks resulting in system hangs. Also I have recently been using ntfs-3g which allows safely writing to NTFS partitions. I am using it for backups on an external USB drive with an NTFS file system. Give ntf-3g a shot before patching the kernel.

Java 6 you can't as Apple maintains it, and Java 7 you could if you uninstall it and Oracle provides the earlier version which they likely won't his last update fixed 37 remote exploits.
Java broken some software here and there, all you'll have to do is wait for a update from the other parties.

Hello
Simple problem - don,t know how to solve it.
With Premiere CC when I try to do a selection (click... drag... release the click) very often it stop way before the end of the move I'm swinging the Magic Mouse. I taught that the mouse clicking was defective and went to get a new Magic Mouse after lots of frustration. Today, I have an edit to do it it does the SAME thing !!
I was like ????#$%?&*(???
Opened all the lights and taught I've trow the new mouse to the garbage and was using the defective mouse again... no !! - ??
Actually, the bran new mouse is doing the same thing. What I understand after investigating on the motion and watching carefully my fingers !! - is that when I click I have to keep my finger at the EXACT same place on the mouse... drag and release and it's fine. If I click by pushing on the mouse and my finder is moving of a 1/32th of a millimeter, it will release and my selection will be to redo. You can understand my frustration ! - 75$ later... same problem, but I know that if I click with about 5 pounds of pressure and trying to pass my finger through the plastic of the mouse, it you stay steady and make it !
The problem is that scrolling is enable while clicking and it bugs.
How to disable it ??
Simple question - can't find the answer !

Helllooo !?
sorry but the Magic Mouse is just useless with the new Adobe Premiere CC and since I'm not the only one but can't find answer this is really disappointing. This mouse is just fantastic and now I have to swap from a USB mouse to the Magic Mouse every times I do some editing. My USB mouse if hurting my hand somehow and I want to got back to the Magic Mouse asap. Please - for sure there is a simple solution !
Thanks !!

[SOLVED] Custom kernel 2.6.17 + ATI drivers

Hi,
I'm trying to get DRI, but can't load fglrx. I've read
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI … om_Kernels and
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ATI_Drivers
and done everything like in those howtos. If I set Driver "fglrx" X won't work. So I've made new kernel with some additional modules:
Device Drivers -->
Graphics support -->
<M> Support for frame buffer devices
<*> Enable firmware EDID
<M> ATI Radeon display support
[*] ODC/I2C for ATI Radeon support
[*] Blacklight & LCD device support --> ...
but the problem is still the same.
Here's some of my configs.

I'm using xorg 11R7.0-1, ati-fglrx-utils 8.27.10-3, and my own package ati-fglrx-kickass 8.28.8-1

As mouse may have noticed, from the log:
# (EE) fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error "xf86_ENODEV"
# (EE) fglrx(0): cannot init AGP
# (II) fglrx(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel

# (WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed! *
# (WW) fglrx(0): * (maybe driver kernel module missing or bad) *
# (WW) fglrx(0): * 2D acceleraton available (MMIO) *
# (WW) fglrx(0): * no 3D acceleration available *
# (WW) fglrx(0): ********************************************* *
That's your problem. Ensure you have both agp drivers loaded - there's agpgart and your board-specific drivers too. They both need to be loaded _before_ the fglrx kernel module.
To figure out which modules they are, run lsmod | grep agp and put both of them into the /etc/rc.conf MODULES array, before fglrx. If fglrx isn't in that array, put it there too, after the agp modules.
-=edit=- as for the aiglx thing, don't worry about it. It's harmless - I get the same message in my logs and everything works fine. -=/edit=-

Thanks bluebanana 66

Hi bluebanana 66,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a few reasons why you might receive this message after installing iTunes. You may need to verify that iTunes has been completely removed before trying to install again. See this article for the steps to completely remove and reinstall iTunes:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

BPM Parallel Process with Exclusive Gateway

Hi,
I am facing issue with Exclusive Gateway in Parallel Process.
Issu is, process always in In-Progress state at parallel Join. I mean process stops at Parallel Join and more over there are no errors in the process. If I delete Exclusive Gateway in Parallel process, the process is going to next level human task through Parallel Join. It means working fine.
I have designed my process in such a way that, 1st task is Human Task ---> then Parallel Split with 2 Human tasks, out of one task performing throught Excusive Gateway and another one is just simple approval. Finally I am merging these two Human tasks using Parallel Join then finally triggerting Approval Human task, and closing the Process.
Appreciate your quick suggestions to fix this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Dev...

Hi Unni,
Thanks for your reply.
I have checked all the parallel tasks and all are in completed state. No errors.
If I delete Exclusive Gateway it is working fine. I have checked step by step tasks in NWA, and every thing goes well.
Please let me know If I missout anything.
Thanks in advance,
Dev

How to create a custom kernel with initrd and ARCH patches

Hi,
I like the default kernel because everything seems to work well and I think the Arch kernel includes patches I need (such as the mactel patch). But some options that i would like to be enabled are not. in fact i would like to use powertop but i can't because it needs the CONFIG_TIMER_STATS option.
What I would like is a kernel based on the arch kernel but with a different config file. Nothing more.
if i look at the solution on the Wiki, I see that I have to add all patches the standard kernel have ... Moreover there is no initrd creation. i think i will need it if I use the Arch kernel configuration.
And if i use the kernel26 PKGBUILD, I must change the package name in order to keep my current kernel. It's easy to do in the PKGBUILD but much more complicated to do it in the kernel26.install file beacuse I have to change the filenames in /boot and I do not want to replace the kernel26 files.
So do you have any ideas how to compile my custom kernel ? Is there a better solution ?
Thanks.
Mildred.

If I understand correctly, you now have a PKGBUILD and associated files for kernel26mildred (or whatever you've decided to call it). Why do you think you would have to change the files again when kernel26 is updated?
don't the patches change from version to version?
anyways, i was bored so i wrote a little script... edit the configuration variables at the top and it'll do the work for you. just put it in /var/abs/kernels or wherever you have the kernel26/ at, chmod +x scriptname, and run.
if you're in /var/abs/kernels you'll probably have to run as root.
from my testing, it seems to be all working (looking at resulting files and no errors so far from makepkg); but i'm still building my test kernel with it.

HT1918 How do you solve an issue with the card? I don't get the option of 'none' :(

How do you solve an issue with the card? I don't get the option of 'none'

I had this exact same problem with the new iPhone I bought on 1/4/13. The walk through they provide on how to do this is useless because it fails to explain that if you are already having the problem of not getting the "None" payment option with an Apple ID then you will need to create a completely new Apple ID.
I had to do this 7 times since I bought my iPhone on Friday until this morning to figure out how to finally be able to use the Home Sharing option in iTunes to put my music collection on my brand new $500.00 iPhone. Pretty pathetic if you ask me but since it made me so angry I want to make sure other know how to do this so you don't get as upset as I did.
#1 If your current or soon to be "old" Apple ID is not providing the option for "None" as a payment option then you need to make a brand new one. But you have to make it specifically how I tell you.
#2 You will need to use an email address that has not already been used for anything related to a previous Apple ID. You might need to make a brand new email address.
#3 Open iTunes, then open iTunes Store (upper right corner of iTunes).
#4 Click on App Store (upper center of screen).
#5 Scroll down the screen page until you see Top Free Apps on the right side.
#6 Choose any one of the FREE apps.
#7 You should either get the option to create a new Apple ID box, either that, or it will pop up with some kind of disclaimer and then it does the create new Apple ID.
Either way just create a new Apple ID when it gives you the option to and then when you get to the page that looks like the payment page the "None" payment option will finally be available.
Note: You will still have to fill out the information on the payment page. As long as you choose the "None" option it will not request any credit card information.
#8 You will be sent a confirmation email to the new email account. Just follow through with what ever it tells you and viola now you can use your Apple Device.
What a pain in the keester, eh?

How to patch kernel with this...

How can I patch the kernel with this files?
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/94542/
Archwiki about kernel compilation is really poor...

Given your apparent level of expertise, it is not reasonable to expect procedures like this to "just work" without putting some time and effort into them. In this case, I would strongly recommend learning about the patch command first, and then learning about ABS (Arch Build System) and PKGBUILDs. You are throwing yourself in at the deep end by attempting to modify the kernel PKGBUILD - people usually work their way up to that.
In other news - the 2.6.36 kernel has been released, and it includes this patch. The package is currently in the testing repo, and will soon be available in core. If the recommended learning above is not to your liking, I suggest you be patient until that happens. You could enable the testing repo either - but that's a whole other story.
