[arch-general] Strange stuff in kernel26-2.6.24-2
There is some strange stuff going on in the newest kernel. i.e. it did not work, so I had to go back to the previous one. First it booted, but then console escape characters (colour) did not work, and sound with snd_via82xx did not either. Then when I rebooted, it crashes every time in the udev/usb code. I have AMD i686 with VIA chipset. I see that it is in testing, so maybe it should remain there.

It usually crashes here too when I shutdown or reboot it after using it for a while. It might also be in the udev/usb code but I am not even sure. I have a hp nx7400 laptop (core duo, intel chipset). If I do a fresh boot, and shutdown immediatly after, it works fine though. I am afraid I don't have enough informations for reporting a bug correctly. It isn't easy to get the log of the kernel crash, is it? Anyway, since it only crashes on shutdown, it isn't a problem for me.

I have had the same problems. Than I try a copy of the whole from testing, make my own package and eliminate a lot of the experimental features. The top candidate from my view is EDAC which i put totaly off. There is a more conservative config for a root server in the web: http://www.hostblogger.de/blog/archives/2752-Kernel-2.6.24.html Not realy perfect for a 1:1 copy because it is for a root server but a good example because in this some things been active which been not in the ARCH config. Some examples: CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT=y CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED=y CONFIG_FAIR_USER_SCHED=y Sorry, that i can't exactly say what makes it better because i throw a lot away (all virtualization, ISDN, TV, all DEBUG=y with the exception of CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG and so on) and reactivate other things. It was more an experimental try&error game of mine with the motto if it now won't works than i will give it up.-) That's why i don't open a bug report but from my view there is hope to eliminate this problem. Just for the stats: I have a core2duo (MSI 975X Platinum PowerUp Edition) with 2GB, IDE Burner and SATA disk. I optimized my config for core2 but i don't think this is the solution. See you, Attila
