I'll wait for your final confirmation and then commit it. More news, not all good. After trying out all combinations and doing it again to be sure it seems that: * kernel26-2.6.39.1.3-1.1-i686.pkg.tar.xz and its hdspm driver work well on the five machines that have cards with firmware revision CC. * With newer cards (they arrived just two weeks ago) with revision CF things seem to work but there are crackles in the sound - not loud but clear enough. Sounds like single samples being modified every now and then. - Older cards on the same machine with the same kernel work fine. - Kernel 2.6.37 on the same machine with the new cards works fine as well. So there must have been some regression. For now I have to revert two machines (those using the new cards) to 2.6.37. Ciao, -- FA

[arch-general] Note: WDC Carvair Black 6 Gbps drives require jumpers on pins 5-6 to be recognized as SATA-II
by David C. Rankin 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Guys, Just a note. The newer Carvair Black 6.0 Gbps drives do not come with jumpers. However, in order for the drives to be recognized as SATA-II on some controllers (the default is SATA-I at 1.5 Gbps), you must install jumpers on pins 5-6 for the drives to initialize at 3.0 Gbps: 13:23 nirvana:~> sudo dmesg | grep ata <snip> [ 1.363358] ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) [ 1.370543] ata1.00: ATA-8: WDC WD1002FAEX-00Z3A0, 05.01D05, max UDMA/133 [ 1.372815] ata1.00: 1953525168 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) [ 1.380018] ata3: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) [ 1.386960] ata3.00: ATA-8: ST3750528AS, CC35, max UDMA/133 [ 1.389290] ata3.00: 1465149168 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) [ 1.389303] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133 [ 1.406937] ata3.00: configured for UDMA/133 [ 1.853354] ata2: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) [ 1.860937] ata2.00: ATA-8: WDC WD1002FAEX-00Z3A0, 05.01D05, max UDMA/133 [ 1.863299] ata2.00: 1953525168 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) [ 1.877002] ata2.00: configured for UDMA/133 Without the jumpers, the drives are limited to SATA-I -- David C.

Is not friendly for plain ISO 9660 filesystem. Of course is not a big issue, should be referenced as "vmlinuz_linux" in config for isolinux. Maybe the same applies for grub2 (if them does not support Rock-Ridge or Jouliet extensions) -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi \cos^2\alpha + \sin^2\alpha = 1

[arch-general] virtualbox-archlinux-modules depends on kernel26

Hi, virtualbox-archlinux-modules still depends on kernel26. I wanted to copy the package directory from the abs tree, but it's not there. How is this possible? (Of course I synced it before) Aljosha

[arch-general] git bisect module against -ARCH kernel
by Matthew Monaco 24 Jul '11

24 Jul '11

I'm trying to bisect an issue with the microphone not working on my usb webcam. See the forum posting [1]. I cloned the Linus' git tree and checked out v2.6.39. I zcat /proc/config.gz > .config and did a make modules. I did this to get the symbol table and all that set up correctly. After that, I did git bisect start v2.6.39 v2.6.38 -- sound/usb (Everything worked fine in 2.6.38). Then for each iteration I intended to do make ${MAKEFLAGS} M=sound/usb. This rebuilds snd-usb-audio.ko just fine, but when I copy it to updates, gzip it, and run depmod, I cannot load it because modprobe says it's an invalid format. My only guess is that this has something to do with a version string somewhere, but I kept assuring it was 2.6.39 in Makefile (no extraversion). Any other ideas?

[arch-general] dmraid - Array failed - installed new pair of drives - any shortcuts for reinstall on new array?
by David C. Rankin 23 Jul '11

23 Jul '11

Guys, I thought I would drop a line and see if anyone had done this recently. On a server I had a 2 disk array of 750G drives. One failed and I ran with a degraded array until the new pair of drives arrived. I installed the new drives and moved the good disk from the failed array to /dev/sdc. I rebooted, marked /dev/sdc (the sata disk in the BIOS) as bootable and deleted the old array and created a new one in the BIOS (for the new drives) and the box booted right up on the old drive. Where I'm needing help is reconfiguring dmraid. Currently, the box is still booting using the old dmraid designation for the degraded array even though I deleted the array in the BIOS. (which is pretty amazing). Here is how the system is currently running: 19:29 nirvana:~> df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 10M 0 10M 0% /dev run 10M 152K 9.9M 2% /run /dev/mapper/nvidia_ddddhhfhp5 23G 13G 9.4G 57% / shm 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev/shm /dev/mapper/nvidia_ddddhhfhp10 608G 380G 198G 66% /home /dev/mapper/nvidia_ddddhhfhp7 122M 34M 82M 30% /boot /dev/mapper/nvidia_ddddhhfhp8 23G 6.0G 16G 28% /var /dev/mapper/nvidia_ddddhhfhp9 33G 8.1G 23G 27% /srv What I need to do is install Arch on the new array and then get rid of the dmraid config on the old drive so it just runs as /dev/sdc. After I have the base Arch install on the new array, I can simply move the information from /dev/sdc to the new array. Is there any shortcut to install Arch since I have the old install currently running? Or is it just easier to stick the install CD in and go through the base install on the new disks and then copy the old /var/cache/pacman/pkg to the new arrays to complete the package install with local packages? I'm fairly sure the dmraid designation with the old drive will take care of itself when I do the install on the new array, but I'm not certain. Any pointers or hints? Thanks -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I tried it with my linux-fbcondecor package which I took from your SVN linux package. pacman just let my kernel26-fbcondecor package installed and installs linux-fbcondecor parallel. I think if you want pacman to uninstall kernel26 you need to add a conflicts=('kernel26') to the linux PKGBUILD. But I'm not sure if this is necessary. And for that reason I would suggest not to creating the symlinks to the old image names. Better let the people edit their bootloader config. If they won't do this they'll just boot their old kernel26 if they didn't uninstall it before. So nobody will get an unbootable system. Heiko
