Status Of 2.6 For Akita (sl-c1000) In Oz/gpe
« on: December 11, 2005, 05:50:45 am »
Hi.

I've tried to generate a kernel 2.6 for akita by rebuilding in openembedded (default "branch"/HEAD/trunk... sorry, not so much experienced with monotone).

Kernel is 2.6.14-git3.

It boots, then X/GPE starts, but then I have problems with the touchscreen being unresponsive...

Anyone with a suggestion on how to correct that ?

My gues is that it may lack some modules...

Any help welcome.

Hmmm... looks like it may be the same as : http://bugs.openembedded.org/show_bug.cgi?id=517

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=106743\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

looks like I had lost the touch screen calibration while rebooting from 2.4 kernel image to 2.6.

I used the keybord to launch a terminal, then su and launched xtscal.

After that, the pointer works again in X...

Hope this helps.

Anyway, if others have other issues/solutions with a 2.6 kernel on akita, I'd be glad to know...

Touchscreen is different handled under 2.6 so it had to be recalibrated.

About other issues: upgrade to 2.6.15-rc5 (today added) so you will get finished ALSA sound.

I tried monotone pull + monotone update, but nothing seems to have changed...

Where/how would I find it ?

Something else : looks like I have kernel 2.6.14-git3 and modules in /lib/modules/2.6.14-rc1 only ...

So depmod.26 won't work, and no modprobe possible

I'm suspecting something incoherent somewhere...

Any clues ?

Had to start over rebuilding... will let you know of my progress when succeeds.

Many thanks.

The rebuild has succeeded. Thanks.

Now, I'll keep on testing if kernel 2.6 works...

« Reply #8 on: December 13, 2005, 02:52:08 am »
I've generated in parallel a gpe-image in .dev and in .oz354 branches.

The latter (so the 3.5.4-RC) only generates a 2.4.20 kernel although I specified
Code: [Select]
KERNEL_VERSION = "2.6" in local.conf...

Dunno if it's a bug or if no kernel 2.6 is supposed to be generated in that branch for akitas ?

It is, but in the branch it's ZKERNEL_VERSION: [a href=\"http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/tmp/viewmtn/revision.psp?id=9beb55f69acc310fc2689a2b52611680e524a2e8]http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/tmp/viewmtn/r...2611680e524a2e8[/url]

OK... btw, I've just noticed that : [a href=\"http://bugs.openembedded.org/show_bug.cgi?id=513]http://bugs.openembedded.org/show_bug.cgi?id=513[/url]

Will try applying this change to my local.conf

But first, it had to build, of course

After I've changed ZKERNEL_VERSION, I've noticed a problem with rebuilding of linux-openzaurus-2.6.14-rc1 :

Fetch failed: [a href=\"http://www.rpsys.net/openzaurus/patches/corgi_pm-r3.patch;patch=1]http://www.rpsys.net/openzaurus/patches/co...3.patch;patch=1[/url]

Looks like the patch was archived from http://www.rpsys.net//openzaurus/patches/ to its archive/ subdir... easy to fix in the .bb ...

Stay tuned for more details

Another patch which was moved as well : hx2750_base-r20.patch

Solved again... but now, a show stopper :

No .../build/tmp/work/linux-openzaurus-2.6.14-rc1-r2/defconfig-akita

OK, I guess this is it, and 2.6 is not ready yet for being built in that 3.5.4RC branch for akitas...

Will keep on playing in .dev as far as 2.6 is concerned, then.

Try copying the defconfig across from .dev, it's probably just a simple omission as most people with the cxxxx machines are working from .dev as it is adding more support for those machines.
