So this is it, 2.6.26 is going to testing. I adjusted the configuration according to http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10512 and changed the maximum number of CPUs to 16. I hope I didn't miss any configuration bugs, if so, please tell me. Except some driver updates, there is nothing too exciting here. Just a few remarks: Kernel stuff: - uvesafb needs the new v86d from testing now (old one segfaults) - bcm43xx has been removed, all users must switch to b43 or b43legacy and use b43-fwcutter for firmware extraction. I am removing bcm43xx-fwcutter from core, as it is obsolete. - Someone should test squashfs, unionfs and aufs and report if they work (Simo?) If there is more, please tell me :) Module packages: - I patched catalyst with a weird patch to make it work, please anyone test and report! - intel-536ep and intel-537 don't compile. I didn't look closely yet, and frankly, I doubt they have much users. Do we really want to maintain them? - lirc is broken, maybe an update to 0.8.3 will fix it. Can the maintainer take care of this? I don't know when I'll get to it. - madwifi is broken. Do we still need it? AFAIK, all chipsets should now be supported by ath5k by now. Can a madwifi user please look at this (Aaron, Dan?) - martian is broken again. A user sent me patches last time, I have to look for his email address, maybe he fixes it again (user whose name I forgot, if you are reading this, please contact me). - I didn't try openswan-klips, any updates here? (tomk?) - wlan-ng26 is broken and I'd like to drop it, as I doubt anybody uses it. - I updated nvidia-71xx and nvidia-96xx to new upstream release for 2.6.26 compatibility. i686 is untested, so I need at least two signoffs. x86_64 works fine.

ath5k is not quite there yet- I know it is missing support for the Eee chipset among others. If we use an SVN snapshot instead of the horribly outdated release, everything should work. I didn't need any patching to get it to compile against my Eee kernel. http://code.toofishes.net/gitweb.cgi?p=eee.git;a=blob;f=madwifi-eee-svn/PKGB... With that said, I have never really used or tested the madwifi we ship with Arch because the default HAL isn't compatible with the Eee chipset. That is why the above PKGBUILD uses the hal-0.10.5.6 snapshot branch. -Dan

Booted and running fine (including nvidia-96xx), however I got something I haven't seen before immediately after the kernel takes over from grub: Undefined video mode number: 305 blah blah press enter to see modes or wait 30 seconds Did some video modes get deprecated or something, or what is going on here? This is my grub configuration, I don't think it is all that exotic: kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-label/hdroot ro vga=773 -Dan

A friend of mine had this for a while with 2.6.25-ARCH, no idea why. It works here, although I have specified it in hex (vga=0x318). Since 2.6.25, uvesafb is working here, so I only booted up vesafb twice. With 915resolution and uveafb, I can get a framebuffer in 1280x800, my native resolution, which means I have square pixels even in console mode.

I don't really know why this is happening to some of us, but I do know that adding "edd=off" at the end of the kernel line fixes it. Cheers Eduardo "kensai" Romero

lirc has been updated to 0.8.3 and built against 2.6.26-1 in testing. I've also fix/implemented 2 bug reports at the same time: - fixed daemon script to facilitate the use of IR devices that don't create device (close FS#9767) - enabled IR transmitters support (close FS#9709) I don't have any IR device so I could only minimally test it. Feedback about success or problems would be nice. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Thank you very much. Gerhard Brauer sent me patches for madwifi, I will update it as well. This leaves the following: intel-536ep intel-537 martian These are i686-only binary modules. I say we leave them there until a) I get motivation to fix them or b) a user sends us a patch. Maintaining them has always been a PITA and I wonder if it's worth it. openswan-klips Has been broken for quite some time (2.6.24 I think), we just leave it until Tom fixes it. wlan-ng26 I say drop it. We used the wlan-ng USB driver for some exotic hardware, which apart from Tom nobody used (and his is broken now). This hardware is probably supported by p54usb now anyway.

Okay, I think I have enough signoffs. Any opinions on dropping wlan-ng26? According to Dan, we still need madwifi, is there an Atheros user here who will fix it (apparently, a recent enough snapshot will compile). IMO, once madwifi and lirc are fixed and I got at least one positive report for catalyst for every architecture, we can move. intel-53{6,7ep} and martian are unmaintained closed-source crap anyway, I won't be held back by those.

Ah, and if anyone needs configuration changes or patches/bugfixes applied: I will rebuild again tonight, because I forgot to enable uvcvideo in the configuration, which is quite popular. So write to this list (or to arch-general) if you need anything.

My thinkpad has always misbehaved with ath_pci, so I've been using ndiswrapper. I will try the new atheros modules when I get a chance, to see if it behaves better.

So, if it actually works, then I wonder how it can work with an unknown symbol. If there are no problems besides the message, then I say it should stay the way it is.

How exactly does it "not wake up". I had similar trouble with both 2.6.25 and 2.6.26, each time reverting a "bugfix" that was applied in the late development stages helped. The kernel devs have no idea what's happening though.

Sorry for poking my head in here - from what I understand, Catalyst 8.7 does not have 2.6.26 support. Catalyst 8.8 might.

- Drop wlan-ng26. It's not worth maintaining it, as it's probably unneeded by now. - Ignore intel-536ep, intel-537 and martian until somebody fixes it. If nobody sends a patch, move to core anyway, or just drop the packages. I really don't care.

Have a great week.

Okay, 2.6.26-2 is up. Feel free to move to core or not move to core whenever it pleases you.

Just a short notice: You should really switch to iwl3945. It is now very stable. As soon as ipw3945 won't build with a new kernel anymore, I will drop it and not try to fix it. 2.6.26 built fine without modifications, so I still provide the package.

I made the switch with this kernel. Yay for newly working LED indicators with iwlwifi! Allan

Thanks. aufs is sort of your pet, so feel free to update it if you need a more recent version.

Okay, apparently, we need a -3: - Readd the ATI patch (the one that exports flush_tlb_page): http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=linux-2.6-ARCH.git;a=blob;f=patches/ati-cat... - Revert the configuration changes I made for 2.6.26 due to http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10512 In particular, disable CONFIG_CGROUPS and CONFIG_GROUP_SCHED again. I can't do this before Aug 3rd, so anyone who has the time and can handle the gen_kernel_patch script in the linux-2.6-ARCH repository, feel free to take care of this.

state? maybe it's not good to have the kernel that "hard" to maintain. meanwhile there were several stable kernel releases in 2.6.25 series we could have easily bumped in repos dir without touching the trunk. 2.6.26.1 is also out. how many kernel devs do we have around? tomk? will tpowa ever work again on the kernel after his pkgbuild got that much cleaned up and only Thomas having the knowledge of clean kernel patching he introduced? anybody else feeling responsible for our kernel? -Andy

Actually Thomas' patch system is very easy. He has a script and a config file to handle everything. Take a peek here: http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=linux-2.6-ARCH.git;a=blob;f=PATCHCFG
