I am upgrading from 2.6.7-1-386 to 2.6.8 on a Debian system. And when booting up under 2.6.7 it works fine. But when I try to boot up in the new kernel a few lines start scrolling and then I just get a black screen with a blinking cursor at the bottom. I have recompiled over and over again. I read some other forums and I did a "grep BLK on .config" and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE is not set. May this be part of the problem?

First of all I honestly love Linux but I like my family to and sometimes they really drive me insane, so that should be kept in mind.
Second of all, not to resurrect old Richard Stallman pushes, but there is a difference in "Linux" and the entire OS Environment.
I have yet to meet a Linux (and rarely a UNIX) flavor that doesn't handle packages and patches well. Sure some of the interfaces might be clumsy but the actual internal management is something to aspire to in general. This is what makes up "the rest of the system" outside the kernel and is a very important piece to look at.
Hello
I would like to choose who/what_module/when can load/unload module to/from kernel. I would like to do it from module. (i use kernel 2.6).
Could You suggest where should i start looking for ?
Thanx

Hello not sure if this is in the correct section but its the most popular so I'm sure someone can answer it :) I'd like to make a Linux based system using standard x86 hardware that only needs to run a few select applications. The applications I would like to run are simply an mp3 player, web browser and video player. I'd rather not use KDE or GNOME for this, not because of reasources as that will not be a problem more the fact that if I am only going to be running a few applications I do not need a fully featured window manager.
Hello
I write kernel module for 2.6.
I have function which returns inode number for specified filename.
It usues:
path_lookup(..,&namedata);
namedata->dentry->d_inode->i_ino;
The problem is that this function does not work everywhere.
In "some placeses" in my code it only works OK for several call's and after that it hangs appriopriate user process.
It is synchronization problem of some kind ?
Hello,
I have done many attempts to compile kernel 2.4.27.0pre2.1mdk (and 2.4.25-9mdk) in mandrake 10.1, without success. I have removed gcc-3.4.1 and tried with 2.96 and with 3.2, but there are always strange behaviour even reaching the end of compile : during boot appears "can't locate module usb-ohci" (which should be integrated in kernel, not as module, since I have choose to integrate it in kernel, in the config), and so on . To reach the end of compilation I have disabled in config some minor offending modules (even if all should be valid) , but the kernel obtained shows some errors .
Hello,
I would like to improve my laptop experience.
I am thinking to buy a compact flash to put in pcmcia-slot to use as place for /home /etc, perhaps /var and for reiser fs external journal.
I write now my ideas/questions:
- I have found that there are compact flash very fast, like sandisk extreme III at 22MB/sec;
- I have found cardbus compact flash adapters that goes very fast: are they supported by linux?
Hiya
Excuse my bad english
This morning I woke up wanting to use Mac music software on a linux box. I understand OSX is just some sort of 'NIX so the executables should require only minor tweaks to run under Linux/X11, right ?
Oh, and I'm also ready to admit that to do that I'd need a Gn Mac but that's OK, I mean if that allows for that dream : Native Ableton Live on my all-day LinuxBox, wow ! I'm ready to give up my second mouse button (Mm.. Am I?)
Hello I have installed Mandrake 10 with KDE 3.2.
In the system configuration in KDE I can see my modem has been detected as the following:
56K Winmodem
Vendor: CONEXANT
BUS: PCI
Bus Identification: 14f1:1033:1468:1033
Location on the bus: 0:b:0
Module: unknown
Media Class: Communication_other
I know this is a n00b question but I am more than willing to learn, I have been using a shell for a while now to learn shell scripting and c, as well as the basic linux commands. If I can get my modem working and install firefox I will be very happy!
i have mb - IWILL DH800 whith 2 cpu - Xeon
and 4 1GB modules - DDR400
OS - Fedora Core 2
kernel - 2.6.5-1.358
whith 2GB memory all work fine, when i insert all 4GB memory ... etherything is work very slow..
i recompile my kernel with "high memory support 4GB" option, but it does not help..
p.s.
sorry for my bad english :)
Hello,
I have no clue if this area is even for Debian, but anyways. I switched from
OpenBSD which had no Audio Problem, but Debian seems to have trouble using my
ESS-Audio Drive SoundCard. Does anyone know how I'd enable ESS-Audio Drive Support
Hi,
I have Aethra NT-IP modem (ISDN) connected to ttyS0. It's capable of connecting with speed of 128 kbps. With Kernel 2.4.18 I used shsmod to obtain higher (230400) serial speeds than 115200. There's no such patch for 2.6 series. I tried to use setserial and stty to setup serial port speed but with no effect, the highest speed I can get is 115200.
Any solution/advise on this?
Thanks in
Hello
I tried to hook proc_pid_readdir(); in kernel 2.6.8 using Silvio Cesare technique (http://www.l0t3k.org/biblio/kernel/english/kernel-hijack.txt). The problem is that i can not call original proc_pid_readdir() from module. I always receive errors in kernel. In sources for proc_pid_readdir() there is written:
'for the /proc itself after non-process stuff has been done'
What does it mean ? Do i have to switch context for something etc.. ?
