(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

[opensuse-kernel] Problems booting laptop Dell XPS 15z
by Cristian Rodríguez 04 Jan '12

04 Jan '12

Hi: I got this new laptop with openSUSE 12.1 and so far cannot successfully boot it :( First, it requires acpi=noirq and i915.semaphores=1 to make it pass the loader screen , otherwise it freezes completely... I have a remaining issue after applying those boot options.. as soon as the system starts the OS boot sequence (works just fine at the boot prompt), the USB ports turns off making impossible for me to press the USB device where a large, impossible to memorize password is stored, consequence of that is I cannot unlock the encrypted root volume ;-( Any hints how to make the USB port power up ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] cleancache and zcache not working
by Cristian Rodríguez 02 Jan '12

02 Jan '12

Hi: I cannot figure out how to enable zcache. first there is no /sys/kernel/mm/cleancache even though the -desktop kernel has CONFIG_CLEANCACHE=y .. modprobe'ing zcache or adding it to the initrd only causes the usual disclaimer to be shown, telling you that it is in the stagging directory.. How I can really use it ? cheers. ! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] Change openSUSE 12.1 kernel configuration
by Larry Finger 27 Dec '11

27 Dec '11

In the .config for kernel 3.1 in oS 12.1, the following parameters are found: CONFIG_RT2800USB=m CONFIG_RT2800USB_RT33XX=y # CONFIG_RT2800USB_RT35XX is not set CONFIG_RT2800USB_RT53XX=y # CONFIG_RT2800USB_UNKNOWN is not set CONFIG_RT2800_LIB=m Parameter RT2800USB_RT35XX should be set to "y". AFAIK, CONFIG_RT2800USB_UNKNOWN can be left unset.

[opensuse-kernel] e100 not finding PHY after rebooting from Windows
by Stefan Seyfried 27 Dec '11

27 Dec '11

Hi all, probably not really a topic for opensuse-kernel, but you guys can hopefully tell me whom to contact... Hardware: * lenovo ideacentre q150, atom d525, nvidia ion2 chipset * ethernet: e100 82552 Software: * opensuse 12.1 (with or without KOTD does not matter) * no proprietary nvidia drivers (nouveau does just fine) * no BIOS update available Problem: * ethernet e100 works fine if cold booted from *power plug removed*, fails if rebooted from Windows. Shutting down windows and powering up does not help, only removing the power supply does help * debug=16 shows that all register reads in the botched case are something like 0x????FFFF and finally the PHY is "unknown" and thus the interface does not work. The latest e100 driver from the intel site is > 5 years old and has a lower version number than the one in the kernel, so I did not even try it. Once I'm home again I can wire up the machine and provide the different entries from the working and non-working case after "modprobe e100 debug=16" I'm grateful for any hints :-) -- Stefan Seyfried "Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body!" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] MMC problems, device doesnt show up.
by Cristian Rodríguez 24 Dec '11

24 Dec '11

Hi: In this xps 15z laptop Im having (another) weird problem, Initially I thought that the MMC card reader was not supported as this fact was mentioned in some wikis. However it works well, BUT only when a memory card is present at boot time, otherwise the device never shows up, it disappears from lspci, modprobing the needed drivers have no effect. It is kinda like the PCI device is powered off at boot and never comes back when a card is plugged in.. what could be causing this issue ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] Get rid of i386 pae kernel
by Thomas Renninger 23 Dec '11

23 Dec '11

Hi, can we get rid of this one, please. Further cleanups could be: - Make i386 default a preemptive smp kernel (similar to what -desktop is right now). - Get rid of the current -desktop flavor No 64 bit capable platform should be run with an i386 based kernel. If really necessary, people should run a 32 bit environment on top of a 64 bit kernel. Thus we may even be able to remove PAE support to enforce this. Only use case I see for i386 kernels are (non-pae, 32 bit only) Atom boards or old, not 64-bit capable desktops/laptops where you typically want to run a -desktop flavor. On old i386 servers where PAE made sense, you better run a 10.1 or older openSUSE dist... I wonder what the current i386 kernel policy is: - default (smp, non-preemptive, no pae) - pae (smp, non-preemptive, pae) - desktop (smp, preemptive, pae) Do -default and -desktop only exist for compatibility? Only needed flavor should be: - default (smp, preemptive, no pae) What do you think?

[opensuse-kernel] iSCSI problems since 11.4
by ariel sabiguero yawelak 23 Dec '11

23 Dec '11

Hi list. I have been experiencing problems with iSCSI for a while. Until 11.3, everything was fine. 11.4 and 12.1 present problems. We start with a very simple 12.1 OpenSuSE installation: zypper install iscsiadm Afterward, we take a 100MB file /varios/01/iSCSI/archivaldo and add it to the ietd.conf /editar ietd.conf Target iqn.2011-10.yyyy.xxxx:fila Lun 0 Path=/varios/01/iSCSI/archivaldo,Type=fileio Afterward, we start iscsitarget, ~ # rciscsitarget start Starting iSCSI target service: FATAL: Error inserting crc32c_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.37.6-0.7-desktop/kernel/arch/x86/crypto/crc32c-intel.ko): No such device The error can be removed from the init script, but is irrelevant. The service works perfectly the first time it is accessed from a client machine. After we reboot 2 or 3 times the machine, we cannot access anymore to the lun and get the following error on the /var/log/messages Dec 5 10:14:18 linux-akxl iscsitarget[3704]: Starting iSCSI target service: FATAL: Error inserting crc32c_intel (/lib/modules/3.1.0-1.2-desktop/kernel/arch/x86/crypto/crc32c-intel.ko): No such device Dec 5 10:14:18 linux-akxl ietd: unable to lock pid file: Resource temporarily unavailable Dec 5 10:14:18 linux-akxl iscsitarget[3704]: ..done Dec 5 10:26:01 linux-akxl kernel: [ 2640.195710] iscsi_trgt: BUG at /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/iscsitarget-1.4.20-svn/obj/desktop/iscsi.c:392 assert(req->tio) Dec 5 10:26:01 linux-akxl kernel: [ 2640.208486] Pid: 2595, comm: istiod1 Not tainted 3.1.0-1.2-desktop #1 Dec 5 10:26:01 linux-akxl kernel: [ 2640.208492] Call Trace: Dec 5 10:26:01 linux-akxl kernel: [ 2640.208556] [<ffffffff810043fa>] dump_trace+0xaa/0x2b0 Dec 5 10:26:01 linux-akxl kernel: [ 2640.208567] [<ffffffff81582a4a>] dump_stack+0x69/0x6f Dec 5 10:26:01 linux-akxl kernel: [ 2640.208589] [<ffffffffa0258c32>] send_data_rsp+0xd2/0xe0 [iscsi_trgt] Dec 5 10:26:01 linux-akxl kernel: [ 2640.208623] [<ffffffffa0260f6f>] disk_execute_cmnd.part.0+0x18f/0x1d0 [iscsi_trgt] Dec 5 10:26:01 linux-akxl kernel: [ 2640.209372] [<ffffffffa0260fc9>] disk_execute_cmnd+0x19/0x20 [iscsi_trgt] Dec 5 10:26:01 linux-akxl kernel: [ 2640.209443] [<ffffffffa025be00>] worker_thread+0x160/0x2c0 [iscsi_trgt] Dec 5 10:26:01 linux-akxl kernel: [ 2640.209466] [<ffffffff81075c8e>] kthread+0x7e/0x90 Dec 5 10:26:01 linux-akxl kernel: [ 2640.209495] [<ffffffff815a5474>] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 Dec 5 10:26:01 linux-akxl kernel: [ 2640.210798] ------------[ cut here ]------------ Dec 5 10:26:01 linux-akxl kernel: [ 2640.211052] kernel BUG at /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/iscsitarget-1.4.20-svn/obj/desktop/iscsi.c:392!

[opensuse-kernel] .config-file of kernel-desktop anywhere?
by Kim Leyendecker 17 Dec '11

17 Dec '11

Howdy all, I´ve compiled the current rc5 of Linux 3.2 last night and tried it. Unfortunately, the graphical results (how kdm was looking, e.g.) were very bad. Since I´m totally lazy, I would be glad to get rid of the configuration part of the kernel compilation. Linux 3.1.0-1.2-desktop works very fine on my system. So, my question is, if there is a .config file for exactly that kind of configuration. I searched the kernel-desktop package of 11.3 in OBS, but I haven´t found something, so I might should ask the kernel gods here. hope I was clear enough ;-) thanks in advance! --kdl -- kind regards, -o) German Wiki Team Kim Leyendecker /\\ Documentation & marketing www.opensuse.org _\_v leyendecker(a)opensuse.org ===================================================== my GPG Key: 664265369547B825 | IRC: k-d-l Twitter: kim_d_ley | Wiki-Username: openLHAG openSUSE - Linux for open minds - get it free today! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org
