[kernel 2.6.30-rc3-13-vanilla from factory on top of 11.1]
As Greg has mentioned on another list, combining a recent factoryk
ernel with 11.1 works just fine. However, there are some issues:
. With my 945GM intel graphics card, I don't get TTYs which I could
switch to with Ctrl-Alt-Shift-F1, for example. Only F7 to switch
back to graphics mode works fine. In particular, I don't see any
boot messages at start-up. This has worked fine with a previous
kernel like 2.6.27.21.
Are there new boot parameters to add or is this a bug? It seems
that `vga=0x31a' fails (which yast provides) since without it I
can see boot messages.
BTW, for `vga=0x31a' I get
Console: colour dummy device 80x25
in the log file, while without this parameter I get
Console: colour VGA+ 80x25
. There's a typo in a boot message:
could not finy any ACPI SRAT memory areas.
^
. What do these messages mean?
Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
Driver 'sr' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
Something I should take care of?
. Ditto for this message:
Warning! ehci_hcd should always be loaded before \
uhci_hcd and ohci_hcd, not after
. I see that the above RPM comes with a lot of firmware files.
Interestingly, the file iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode is missing. Is this
intentional? I assume that there are copyright and/or license
issues...
. After updating the microcode, iwl3945 works, but only a few
minutes. Then I get
wlan0: no probe response from AP 00:0f:b5:7b:1c:c6 - disassociating
What's that? Why does iwl3945 now behaves differently compared to
2.6.27.21?
