[opensuse-kernel] Need help with compiling Kernel Firmware and ACPI for nouveau
Hi, I have to compile Kernel Firmware from http://cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/linux-2.6/ for my OBS project (home:jobermayr) which includes latest nouveau drivers for openSUSE users. I do not know how I can do this. With "my" script (from Ruediger Oertel) I do not receive the proper files... Nouveau's firmware files will/have to change from binary to ihex format, too. (see http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/nouveau/2009-December/004261.html) The second problem is that drm-all packages for openSUSE 11.2 tell me the following at installation: # WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.31.5-0.1-pae/updates/drm/i915/i915.ko needs unknown symbol acpi_lid_notifier_register # WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.31.5-0.1-pae/updates/drm/i915/i915.ko needs unknown symbol acpi_lid_notifier_unregister # WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.31.5-0.1-pae/updates/drm/i915/i915.ko needs unknown symbol acpi_lid_open # WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.31.5-0.1-pae/updates/drm/i915/i915.ko needs unknown symbol acpi_lid_notifier_register # WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.31.5-0.1-pae/updates/drm/i915/i915.ko needs unknown symbol acpi_lid_notifier_unregister # WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.31.5-0.1-pae/updates/drm/i915/i915.ko needs unknown symbol acpi_lid_open There I do not know how I can back-compile ACPI things (2.6.32->2.6.31) for proper i915.ko work.

There I do not know how I can back-compile ACPI things (2.6.32->2.6.31) for proper i915.ko work.
Good luck with that, it's not trivial at this time :( In the end, you are going to have to patch your 2.6.31 kernel in order to get this all to work. So you are going to need your own kernel package as well.

Please note that nouveau's DRM/KMS code goes into Kernel 2.6.33 (see http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Nzc5NQ)
Yes, but please note that this required some changes to the DRM core code, so you will also have to backport those portions as well. Also note that it hasn't landed in the 2.6.33 development tree either, as of last evening, we are still working out the details as to how to accomplish this. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

The above are easy, from my experience with i915 KMS backport to 2.6.27. Simply define dummy static inline functions for them. They are rather cosmetic part, so no big missing.

Ah, ok, nevermind, it might be easier than I imagined. greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

This is my main problem: Ruediger's script "patches" kernel-firmware-20090821.tar.bz2 with additional radeon firmware (both contain firmware files in binary format) and then: mkdir -p %{buildroot}/lib/firmware cp -avf * %{buildroot}/lib/firmware rm -f %{buildroot}/lib/firmware/WHENCE %fdupes %{buildroot} What I want is following: 1. Extract kernel-firmware-20090821.tar.bz2 (I know how I must do this...) 2. Patch it: 2.1 git archive master firmware/ | bzip2 >firmware.tar.bz2 (nouveau/linux-2.6) 2.2 Extract firmware.tar.bz2 (I know how I must do this...) 2.3 Convert ihex to binary firmware files (This is the point I do not know how to do it - I cannot find instructions for it...) 2.4 Add files to/Replace files in extracted kernel-firmware-20090821.tar.bz2 3. Execute above part from Ruediger's script 4. I should now have a proper kernel-firmware rpm file... 5. Distribute it...

I will try the hint from Takashi. Thanks. Or I just have to build against Kernel:HEAD (as for openSUSE 11.1) and Factory is also OK (both Kernel 2.6.32). But I personally need here only radeon.ko and nouveau.ko... So broken i915.ko does not matter for me and nouveau users...
