[opensuse-kernel] Workaround if your UMTS card fails to work
by Gerald Pfeifer 10 Jul '09

10 Jul '09

If your UMTS card does not work with current FACTORY, especially if the card is Nozomi based, you may want to give an older kernel a try. 2.6.30 apparently introduced a regression here, and 2.6.27 runs just fine so far on my FACTORY system. This took me a bit of poking and playing around, which is why I am posting it here in the hope it helps someone.

[opensuse-kernel] Moblin kernel merged to FACTORY
by Greg KH 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

Hi all, I just now got the Moblin (2.6.29) kernel merged into the FACTORY kernel, so it should start showing up in the next few builds. It really wasn't that many changes, the real work is in the configurations. So, here's what I plan on doing, and it would be great to get some feedback. For Moblin, we used a PAE kernel as "kernel-default". For FACTORY, I can't do that, and as we moved away from the -legacy to -default naming scheme, I'll change the Moblin images to use kernel-pae. In the kernel-pae config, I'd like to start changing stuff to reflect the fastboot things we did for Moblin. In the end, we were booting the kernel in less than a second on a tiny netbook, and I see no reason why we can't do the same for FACTORY and all future releases. To achieve this, I'll start to change the i386/pae and x86-64/default configurations to build a whole raft of drivers into the kernel, which speeds up booting a _lot_ due to the async probing that it allows the kernel to do. I'll also disable a few things that PAE systems should never need (like ISA), and a few other things that are in the Moblin kernel config. In the end, this means that you can boot without an initrd at all, but we need to move our init script changes over to FACTORY as well to take full advantage of this. There's also some mkinitrd magic I need to figure out so that we don't accidentally create initrd when we don't need them (which is a bug right now.) Any objections to any of this? Hopefully this will help with both the Moblin releases, which should be in the near future, as well as openSUSE 11.2, which will probably happen afterward. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help(a)opensuse.org
