[SLE] : To SuSE people who builds the "kernel of the day"
Hello, I use to build once a week the kotd for SuSE 9.3. I have never problems with the SL93-BRANCH. But with the "i386" branch, the last kernel I was able to run is dated June the 20th. With newer kernels my USB hardware and Network card are not detected. I've upgraded mkinitrd, udev and hwinfo as told in the read.me file. Can you try to tell me what I've forgotten or where I'm wrong ? If interested I've modified the bootsplash patch which works now with the "i386" branch. Thanks in advance for reply. Michel

Want to tell us the level of that kernel? 2.6.??.??

Sorry, the last working was : kernel-source-2.6.11.12-20050623094128.i586.rpm and the last tried was the one of yesterday : kernel-source-2.6.13_rc3_git4-20050720092318.i586.rpm <ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/projects/kernel/kotd/i386/HEAD/kernel-source-2.6.13_rc3_git4-20050720092318.i586.rpm> Now I 'm only able to run : kernel-source-2.6.11.4-SL93_BRANCH_20050720092439.i586.rpm Thanks in advance. Michel. PS : when I boot with the 2.6.13, neither the via686a module nor the usb modules nor the e100 modules load, I tried to add these modules to the INITRD_MODULES list they load, I've usb but not the network.

Yep, just as I thought. I've been building my own vanilla kernels and I got up through 2.6.11.12 just fine (still running that one) but 2.6.12 and 2.6.12.2 both had the problems you are seeing. USB doesn't work and my network refused to start up at boot time. If I went into YAST and just *looked at* my network config but didn't change anything, when YAST finished the network would be up... so Yast must have run something to get it started. rcnetwork start didn't start it up. So something major changed at the 2.6.12 level and I haven't been able to find out what it was. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

Me too, I've the same problems with the vanilla kernel, I thought that since SuSE builds the kotd kernel for 9.3, this kernel was supposed to work. It is the reason why I send this message to the man who buikds this kernel. Michel.

I put the question about "what's wrong with kernels above 2.6.12?" to another list and the answer I got back was that one person had worked a long time to get such a kernel to work with SuSE.... but had no problems at all on RHEL4 or FC4. He thinks it's a problem with SuSE.

OK, I was in the past directly in contact with Hubert Mantel from SuSE. I'll ask him about the problem and let you know if he replies. Michel

Six levels of quoting is a definitive sign that too much has been quoted! Could folks please be a bit less lazy to edit their messages? Makes for a much improved readability! Recommended reading is still http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html Philipp
