One thing that folk should be aware of is that ide-scsi is broken in 2.6; this means that CD/DVD writers are likely to cease working. An excellent paper on 2.6 and the differences between it and 2.4 is at: http://www.linux.org.uk/~davej/docs/post-halloween-2.6.txt Regards Peter. -- Peter Whysall || peter.whysall@ntlworld.com The IWETHEY Project : http://z.iwethey.org The Collaborative Media Foundation : http://www.collaborativemedia.org

Wrong. ide-scsi is broken yes, but cdrecord now works in 2.6 with cdrecord dev=/dev/hdX .... So there's simply no need for ide-scsi. It's one of the biggest FAQ items wrt. the 2.6 kernel, and people are going to get this wrong over and over and over and over again.. There's another bug in the 9.0 cdrecord, that has nothing to do with the above, but with resmgr. Updates are on it's way. -- Mads Martin Joergensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogical, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A.

Hi. I've got now 2.6.0 running with SuSE 8.2. Just took the .config supplied with 8.2 but had to remove the EISA and AIC79xx drivers. Modules seem not to load automatically, so some modprobes and rc... are necessary. Ralf

Could you expand on "I had to remove <...> AIC79xx drivers"?
Hello to all. Compiled new kernel 2.6.0 and so far so good. Did a test with compiled kernel 2.6.0 (after change some things on lilo) and still have AX25 problems, my uscc-card does not work yet. Back to kernel 2.4.21-144-athlon, but wait for ax25 news. Best regards. CT1DRB David Quental

In the default SuSE .config they are compiled as module. Now It's neither compiled as module nor inside the kernel. During compile both produced an error. AIC79xx is a low level SCSI driver. (Device drivers->SCSI drivers->low level drivers). Ralf

I've 2 OLD boxes that could work as guinea pigs for 2.6 and both have that controller. Did you succeed to make it work? I've another Athlon that could be a better guinea pig but it is one of the few boxes with a CDRW. I've heard about issues with scsi emulation too for CDRW. I've to admit that on some things I'm *terribly* lazy and never learnt how to make them work without a GUI... will K3B still work? I know that one of the newer command line tools to burn CD doesn't require anymore scsi emulation but will K3B realize it?
Haven't installed 9.0, but have 8.1 running fine with SCSI. If I buy 9.0, am I going to have problems? All my drives are SCSI. --doug At 16:21 12/18/2003 +0100, Ralf Haueisen wrote:

No.... all my drives are scsi too.... Why would you think you'd have a problem?

Hi.
I've got now 2.6.0 running with SuSE 8.2. Just took the .config supplied with 8.2 but had to remove the EISA and AIC79xx drivers. Modules seem not to load automatically, so some modprobes and rc... are necessary.

For modules, you need to pay attention to /etc/modprobe.conf. I couldn't get anywhere with the one I generated by /sbin/generate-modprobe.conf, so I modded the one that shipped with 9.0 and most things loaded automatically, except usblp.ko and nvidia.ko. Everything worked for over a week, until I rebooted last night (previous reboots were OK), when I get segfaults on some of the init scripts and I get as far as stuff respawning too fast, that was with 2.6.0-test11 and 2.6.0-test11-mm1.

Well, at work ( P-III 1Ghz, SUSE 9.0 Pro), I can't even get the basic stuff to run "make menuconfig" compiled. It moans about curses.h, but it is installed. I'll reintall that rpm and see if it helps At home (AthlonXP, SUSE 9.0 Pro also), kernel compiled fine, but I get no output to screen. It seems like it's booting, but nothing happened. I thought it had something to do with the different console options that had to be enabled (this one bit me before), but I did put those in. In fact, I used the config file I had with 2.6-test11 which worked fine. Strange. I'll fiddle more tonight. Hans

I seem to get screen output only with vga=normal, tried vga=scan and other framebuffer settings only cause errors or blank screen. I also get many services reporting failed that are working. With 2.6.0-test11 hotplug worked, with 2.6.0 it doesn't. I also have to use both acpi=off and apm=off to get a full boot, without them I get all init vaules respawning too fast, 2.6.0-test10 was OK with just acpi=off, then something I can't figure out has changed, causing this problem on the already built and working 2.6.0-test 10, 2.6.0-test11, then 2.6.0-test11-mm1 and now 2.6.0. Athlon XP2200+ and SuSE 9.0 Pro. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer Linux Only Shop.
weird thing happened - apart from different hardware drivers, I used the same config to compile at work (p-III, intel onboard graphics, gigabyte board) and at home (gigabyte via chipset board, athlonxp 1800+, radeon 7500). The one at home keeps giving me a corrupt display (even with vga=normal) - while the one at work plays beautifully on vga=4 (max of the monitor). Of course, lots of services fail but at lest I can start playing with it! Hans

I get messages saying lots of services failed, but they are all OK and some modules don't autoload, others I have to insmod /lib/modules/full_path_to/module.ko, modprobe module.ko does not complain, but doesn't load the module, insmod module.ko doesn't find the module. I can only get console display with vga=normal. Once it's up, it's solid, which at times takes a few goes, seeminly needing apm compiled in and apm=off option at boot to avoid segmentation faults in many init scripts ending in "respawning to fast" for all init values - ALT-SysRQ-B to reboot needed, even when I compile without apm and using the latest acpi patch update.
