[solved]Update from kernel 3.3.6 to a newer kernel leads to module fai

Hello community,
Back in may 2012 I observed a strange problem: The update from kernel 3.3.6 to kernel 3.3.7 resulted in all modules failing to load. So: No keyboard, no mouse, no network, no graphics, no CPU scaling, maybe no other things that I'm not aware of. So till today I'm forced to use kernel 3.3.6 in order to be able to use the system. The problem persists even after the upgrade of kmod and glibc. But this can't last forever since the old kernel already starts to make some problems e.g. with the new modules path structure after the glibc update. So I wonder how I can diagnose the problem. Some remarks that might be helpful: It's not hardware related because I'm running an old installation which works perfectly. The only differences that I'm aware of between the installations are: 32Bit(working) - 64bit(not working); installed on: HDD (working) - SSD (not working); no external /boot (working) - external /boot (not working); GRUB installed: on the same drive as / (working) - on a different drive as / (not working). Of course some config files might also be different but at least the /etc/rc.conf are very similar (the MODULES and DAEMONS arrays are identical). But the problem is that not only the modules from the MODULES array cannot be loaded but also many other modules.
Thanks for any hints,
PhotonX

Just to confirm that I also have this problem with nfsroot (nfs4 this time) with 3.6.2. Downgrading the kernel does make it go away.
When it is working normally I do seem to get refused unmount messages at shutdown for some reason

, but the /new_root bit is new and I have no idea where it comes from.

So I wonder if it asking for the wrong path.
That unmount issue will be solved by FS#32021.
Unfortunately, that doesn't help with mounting in the first place with 3.6.2

[Solved]Update to kernel 3.2.1 & kmod results in wireless led blinking

I have the following hack in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf:
[root@elitebook sigi]# cat /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
# /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
options iwlagn led_mode=1
Had to put it there since an upgrade caused my wireless led to constantly blink. Since the upgrade to kmod its blinking again. Any hints on how to change this?
Cheers Sigi

I want to add this FYI: since upgrading to 3.3.x my wifi led was also blinking again (driving me nuts).
Before I was using:
options iwl_legacy led_mode=1
But apparently iwl_legacy has been renamed to iwlegacy (wow! they saved 2 characters and made the name so much cooler! never mind compatibility!)
So using:
options iwlegacy led_mode=1
fixes the problem.

Updating from 7.6 to 8.2 for new Nano; keep getting "key" errors

Got my daughter a Nano. Says we have to have 8.0 or better for it to work. We have 7.6. Tried installing thru Apple Update but it kept getting an error after the download saying "invalid signature" and removed the download. Saw a topic that said to download 8 directly from the web and install. Have done that but now get numerous "could not write value to key" errors and finally a "could not open key" error that rolled back the entire install. Any suggestions?

Are you installing from the admin account you originally used to install iTunes? If not switching to that might help.
But when you get problems with access to registry keys you can fix the registry permission problem with the following link:

It looks a bit daunting, but many people have used it successfully. It does take a long time to run so be patient with it.
One point I notice it says you can get your user name fro documents & settings, mostly this is true, but not always. You can get it from the task manager or in control panel>>User accounts

2. Restore iCloud backup to new iPad after the update.

HT1338 Can you update from OS X v10.5.8 to newer OS X versions? How?

I have an iMac model 7.1 Intel Dual Core 2.4 GHz, 2 MB memory machine (purchased end 2009). What's the best OS X version to run on this machine and how do I start the upgrade process?

You have to get 10.6.8 first to go even higher to 10.7 or 10.8
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

I'ts been pulled from the online store, so you have to call Apple to buy it.

[KIND OF SOLVED]Updating everything except the kerne

Hey all,
Recently, I updated my system and it automatically updated the kernel to 3.7 (as i remember) but the wifi adapter stopped working. In previous kernel i used the following driver and "modprobe wl" to make the wifi work: Driver. After I updated, modprobe wl didn't work, so I installed the previous kernel. I have 2 questions:
1. How can i make my wifi work?
or if it is not possible... 2. How can I update my system WITHOUT installing the new kernel?
Thanks in advance.

The file /etc/pacman.conf has IgnorePkg and IgnoreGrp settings. You can list the unwanted updates here. Though keep in mind that partial updates are not supported. Also, if you are ignoring something as crucial as the kernel, there are other packages that may depend on the updated kernel. For instance, things like kernel modules will likely be broken, especially between version bumps like 3.6 -> 3.7.
I think in your case though, you are trying to use a kernel module that you had to compile yourself against your kernel. So now that you are updating from 3.6 to 3.7 you now only have a module that is built against 3.6. I think rebuilding the module against the new kernel is going to be not straight forward unless you are comfortable editing a pkgbuild (which isn't that hard btw).
Edit: nevermind, this pkgbuild relies of a prebuilt module from a debian package. You aren't "building" anything form this package. Sorry dude...

[Solved] Nvidia after kernel update

The nvidia wiki clearly states that: "Every time the kernel26 package is updated, it is a requirement to reinstall the nvidia package and rebooting afterwards. "
But my question is, why? I mean, if the module was to be recompiled, that would make sense. But what does just reinstalling the driver accomplish? In my system, pacman -Ql nvidia shows:
$ pacman -Ql nvidia
nvidia /etc/
nvidia /etc/modprobe.d/
nvidia /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau_blacklist.conf
nvidia /lib/
nvidia /lib/modules/
nvidia /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/
nvidia /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/
nvidia /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/drivers/
nvidia /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/drivers/video/
nvidia /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
From what I've read, I think the kernel update process copies the compiled modules into the proper folder (inside /lib) named by the kernel version. Should this not be the case with nvidia? If it is not, then is this why the reinstall is needed?
Thanks in advance (and my apologies if I've glossed over something that's patently obvious --- while I've searched for the answer before posting, I am still quite the novice at tinkering with the kernel)
EDIT: just after posting I've realized that maybe this post belongs in "Kernel and Hardware Issues" subforum. But the truth is this isn't really an "issue"... it's more a question from, well, a newbie :-)

Thank you for the feedback.

Running the risk of asking what might be obvious to some, why?
The driver speaks to the kernel. When the kernel updates, the language used might have changed in various ways. Since nvidia is closed-source, its not always obvious whether what has changed affects it. The same applies to xorg-server, when it updates you should recompile your nvidia driver. Its SOMETIMES not needed, but when it is, would you rather be solving it from the tty?

Now I'm confused. Are you saying that the safest approach is to recompile and (re)install the nvidia module after each kernel update? And does this only apply to modules from beta & AUR, or [extra] as well? And shouldn't all this issue of recompiling modules also apply to every other module installed in the system?
Yes that's the safest approach. [extra] is taken care of by the devs, the simple way is to assume they'll bump it if needed (and you don't need to do anything).
The same thing applies to almost any kernel module (AFAIK). It applies to virtualbox's modules, for sure, as well as phc-intel (the only other 2 external modules I use). Most kernel modules are actually compiled in to the kernel26 package anyway, so its not very many. I just automatically recompile the ones I use whenever I notice a kernel/xorg update.

After getting an update from 10.6.8 many of my programs were no longer able to open. How can I undo the update or solve this problem another way?

Do you have a bootable clone from prior to the update? If so, roll back with that.
Are your apps that won't open PPC and do they need Rosetta? Do you need to activate Rosetta?
Have you considered reinstalling 10.6 from your install disc and then coming forward with the 10.6.8 Combo Updater, then doing software update and not including whatever it was you installed that caused this propblem?
By the way - what update was it that caused this problem?

Installed updates FROM apple. Now I have a kernel panic

Ok, I tried to install my updates from apple. Now my Macbook just says i need to re start. I have tried to just re install the OS. It is not even allowing me to do that. It says kernel version. Darwin kernel version 9.5.1 Attempted to get Macbook fixed, but like most people, I don't want to drop $250 on the problem if i can fix it on my own. ANY help is appreciated.

Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Repair permissions and then run the Repair Disk option from your install disc.
Instead of installing from Software Update, go to Apple's download site & download the rest of the downloads manually. For the OS, download the combo version.
Repair permissions after the installations and restart your computer.

No sound after updating to kernel 2.6.36 from [testing]

Hello,
I updated to kernel 2.6.36 and after i rebooted i had no sound . I use alsa + pulseaudio ... my configuration was working before the update. This is a kernel bug/ i have to change the configuration after this update?
Thank you and best regards
Stefan

ngoonee, I use alsa+phonon and have the same affected hardware (HDA Intel ad198x) here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/alsa-devel/msg39189.html. Like the OP, it was a crapshoot if my sound worked at all when using testing/kernel26 and, like others, applying the patch fixed it. The affected audio chip is rather popular with laptops, including my business HP, and is far from being an esoteric piece of hardware. In fact, this regression hits all Intel HDA - Analog Devices (adNNNN) chips (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/78422). To make a long story short, I checked the patches for 2.6.36.1 and the patch that fixes this regression did not make it in. So, I guess I answered my question and will have to compile the kernel with the sound-fix patch.

What do you mean you're in the process of "downloading the installer for 10.7.3"? If you mean the software update combo, you won't be able to use that to go from 10.7.4 to 10.7.3. The only way you could do that is to reinstall the whole OS from the App Store IF that version is 10.7.3. I don't know if the App store Lion installer includes 10.7.4 already, but if it does, you can't get to 10.7.3 at all.
As for what you do about your slow machine, there are tips all over the internet. I wrote up some of the basic one's to try here:
http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/12/05/why-is-my-mac-running-so-slow/
Other possibilities not mentioned there are either a corrupt install of Lion (solution; re-install from the Recovery disk) or hardware failure (old hard disks and other hardware components can sometimes give out there last after the strain of a new install).

Looking at syslogs messages getting set_rtc_mmss: can't update from x to x - kernel

Hello,
   Im just looking at the syslogs im getting from the fabrics.
   I noticed alot of warning about :
%DAEMON-5-SYSTEM_MSG: time reset +0.257072 s - ntpd[5315]
%KERN-4-SYSTEM_MSG: set_rtc_mmss: can't update from 49 to 0 - kernel
%KERN-4-SYSTEM_MSG: set_rtc_mmss: nowtime=1339758026, save_control=0x82, save_freq_select=0x72 - kernel
   To me it looks like the kernel complains when the time get updated by NTP. Someone have those entries in logs also?

Would help to have the version of UCSM you're running.
There's an open bug on a similar issue: CSCti71838   - %KERN-4-SYSTEM_MSG: set_rtc_mmss: can't update from 52 to 6 - kernel
It's a general Nexus OS NTP bug, not specific to UCS. At this stage it appears purely cosmetic and does not affect the system. The bug is still in the "new" state. Please monitor the bug toolkit for updates.
Can you also check that the delta between the UCS current time and NTP server are less than 30min?
I'd suggest you open a quick TAC case, provide the output and request your case be linked to this bug. This will increase the priority to have it resolved.

Robert

After installing 3 updates from "software update app" today (june,11th) my MacBook Pro doesn't initialize anymore. Why this is happening? And how do i solve this issue?

Hello Mac Friends!
Need some help here!
After installing 3 updates from the "software update" app today (June, 11th) my macbook doesn' t initialize anymore.
Is there someone who can help me fix this issue?

If you have backups, if you can and saved your ML installer, you can start over.
Prevention and taking a more proactive approach to system maintenance and repair, rather than fixiing a problem (likely pre-existing?) format the drive or partition and reinstall 10.8.1 and restore from backups.
Never had any issues? freezing? apps crashing before?
