[opensuse-kernel] Status of microcode autoload ?
by Cristian Rodríguez 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

Hi: Is there any news or improvements on the Intel microcode autoload feature so we can get rid of init/systemd scripts that currently do a task that is better done with either the kernel or udev ? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] Calling acpi methods from userspace ?
by Cristian Rodríguez 13 Dec '11

13 Dec '11

Hi: This is the second part of the xps15z saga.. but will anyways affect a lot of users regardless whatever laptop model used.. This box has an integrated NVIDIA "optimus" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Optimus , which has no support in linux, I can certainly live just fine with the intel GPU alone.. I couldn't care less about this thingy, however, the nvidia device 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0df5 (rev ff) remains "on" and is a power hog, taking at least 1 hour of battery..there are all sorts of hacks outside to simple disable it. This particular one works for me: http://linux-hybrid-graphics.blogspot.com/2010/07/using-acpicall-module-to-… however it is an out of tree kernel module and looks fairly hackish, is there any way to send acpi commands without using this "acpi_call" kernel module ? My idea is to create a package that pulled in, just disables the card in the meanwhile someone hacks support for this devices...

Hi: Can this https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/10/467 patch be included in Kernel:HEAD at least in the -desktop kernel ?

[opensuse-kernel] openSUSE 12.1: boot problem: Mount Race when Using Software RAID (md0)
by ip_15+kernel＠2-mail.com 11 Dec '11

11 Dec '11

I upgraded an opensuse server from 11.4 to 12.1. the server's boot config includes an externally attached md RAID array for additional storage. Something in the switch to systemd caused the mount to fail -- and I was never able to get the RAID array to attach on boot; doing so manually AFTER boot worked fine. I found this thread, which another community member posted, "openSUSE 12.1: boot problem: Mount Race when Using Software RAID (md0)" http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/install-boot-log… where similar problems were identified. The 'fix' discussed there -- to boot to init=/sbin/sysvinit instead of systemd -- worked for the OP, and it works for me as well (http://bit.ly/tPkEMP). Before filing it as a bug, it'd be good to get a more detailed idea of the actual problem. Since it looks like a systemd &/or RAID issue, I thought -kernel list would be a good place to explore & discuss. I'd appreciate if someone in the know here could take a look at the forum post, and maybe make a suggestion or ask some leading questions. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org
