[opensuse-kernel] Network installation failure on Dell XPS 8300
by Giacomo Comes 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

I have encountered an installation problem on a Dell XPS 8300 Its network device is Broadcom NetLink BCM57788 (pci id: 14e4:1691) When I do a network installation after loading the kernel and initrd I get the error: no network device found. This is the output when the module tg3 is loaded: tg3.c:v3.119 (May 18, 2011) tg3 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19 tg3 mdio bus: probed tg3 0000:03:00.0: No PHY devices tg3 0000:03:00.0: Problem fetching invariants of chip, aborting tg3 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A disabled On the same PC a network installation of openSUSE 11.4 works. I was able to perform the network installation in the following way: I have recompilded openSUSE 12.1 kernel and modules replacing the sources tg3.c and tg3.h with the ones from 11.4 kernel sources (with some small changes in order to make them compile). Then I took the new tg3.ko and replaced the corresponding module in the initrd disk image for the network boot (in the file parts/00_lib). With the tg3 module I have compiled, the netwotk installation works. Of course after the installation the tg3 module of kernel 3.1 is the one that is used, and it works too. It's only during the installation that if fails to detect the network device. FYI, replacing the module tg3 in the initrd with the one compiled using the sources tg3.c and tg3.h from kernel 3.2 (tg3.c v3.121) didn't work either. I'm not filing a bugreport because I have found a solution for myself, but I am anyway reporting the issue in case somebody else found it useful.

[opensuse-kernel] How to get a pre-compiled kernel version 3.2 for OpenSuse 12.1?
by Anisha Kaul 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

Greetings, I looked up Google and the http://software.opensuse.org/121/en too, but I am not able to find a link to download a "pre-compiled" kernel version "3.2" for OpenSuse 12.1. The platform is 64 bit. Please help. -Anisha -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] Audio capture problem with kernel 3.1
by Giacomo Comes 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

Hi, I have a problem with audio capture on the laptop Dell Vostro A90 Audio capture does not work from the internal microphone. Audio capture worked fine in openSUSE 11.4 The same setup on another dell laptop (different model) works fine. Installing kernel 3.2 from Kernel:/HEAD/standard repository also fixes the problem: audio capture from the internal microphone works again. Unfortunately I cannot use the new kernel on such laptop because, at the moment, the latest broadcom wl kernel module fails to compile. Does anybody already know what patch fixed the issue in 3.2? Should I open a bug in bugzilla in order to have the fix backported in the openSUSE 12.1 kernel? Attached you can find the output of the script alsa-info.sh for standard 3.1.0-1.2-default kernel (audio capture not working) and latest 3.2.0-2-default kernel (audio capture working) Thanks for your help.

[opensuse-kernel] BadRAM patch for kernel
by Basil Chupin 12 Jan '12

12 Jan '12

I had the need to go to the memtest86.com site to grab a copy of the test to check the condition of my RAM and came across a patch for the kernel which purports to use a feature of the kernel to map bad RAM bytes and not use them thus avoiding the need to replace RAM (perhaps unnecessarily). The patches do not go beyond kernel 2.6.x. I was wondering if this patch is now automatically built-in into the kernel and patching the kernel is therefore no longer necessary (I am using kernel 3.2 for example)? Anybody know the answer, please?

[opensuse-kernel] BTRFS: no space left on device...
by Cristian Rodríguez 11 Jan '12

11 Jan '12

Hi: Im having a somewhat recurrent problem with BTRFS, it claims that there is no space left on device, even when there are more than 8GB free, however running btrfs filesystem balance /mountpoint does correct the problem "until the next time" ... anyone else experiencing the same problem ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] [PATCH] Add support for ST-Ericsson ARM based SoCs
by Andrew Wafaa 09 Jan '12

09 Jan '12

Aloha, The attached patch enables openSUSE's kernel to support the ST-Ericsson Nova based Ux500 SoCs. I have tested this and am running it currently on a Snowball board. I appreciate there is a hesitance to clutter the tree with more configs etc, but is there an alternative? At the moment there aren't many users of the Snowball, but that can/should change once we have support ;-) Regards, Andy -- Andrew Wafaa IRC: FunkyPenguin GPG: 0x3A36312F

Hi, and that's perfectly OK. You need only one of those. -base for a limited environment and non-base for standard use. This changed years ago for openSUSE.

[opensuse-kernel] 3.2 kernel stuck in early boot on core-i7

Hi, hardware is a lenovo-T410 with Intel Core-i7 CPU both, kernel-desktop from factory (3.2-rc6) and kerneltest/HEAD (3.2-rc7) get stuck in early boot printing 2 alternating lines scrolling too fast to read, something about dma fault. kerneltest/stable (3.1.6 and 3.1.7) boot fine. kerneltest/linux-next vanilla 3.2-rc6 oopses somewhere in device_attach/device_add kerneltest/vanilla 3.2-rc7 shows the same thing as the other 3.2based ones playing with the mobile to get some screen shots I get to read: DRAD: handling fault status reg 3 DMAR: [DMA Read] Request device [0d:00.0] fault addr fffff000 Any hints ? -- with kind regards (mit freundlichem Grinsen), Ruediger Oertel (ro@suse.com,ro@suse.de,bugfinder@t-online.de) GPG Key fingerprint = 17DC 6553 86A7 384B 53C5 CA5C 3CE4 F2E7 23F2 B417 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org

(in that scenario the USB port works, as plugin and removing a device shows the relevant events in the console) It is random, let's say, the USB port works twice every three boots. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org
