General :: Compiled A Kernel With TUN/Bridge Support But Cannot Find /dev/net/tun?
Jan 20, 2011I compiled my own kernel with tun/tap and bridge support. Both modules load fine at boot time (I could read that in the dmesg output). Now I want to use it, and the /dev/net/tun node is not there, so my application gives that error. I'm trying to bridge openvpn connections. Is it possible that udevd is not doing his work?
PS: I'm on a WD MyBook World Ed NAS device. It's ARM, so I cross compiled the kernel from my debian linux machine. I also installed debian on the NAS.)
General :: Nvidia Driver Is Not Working After Using A Self Compiled Kernel (2.6.38)?
Mar 19, 2011About a month ago, I decided to go deeper in my Linux knowledge. I've been reading a lot and found out that Arch linux would be my learning distro. As I was installing Arch, it was a pain at first but I really learned a lot which I would never ever learn with Mint. Now I decided to take a step further is which "compiling your own kernel".
MY PROBLEM:
Everything was smooth in my Arch for a 2 weeks until I decided to compile my own kernel. I currently have a Nvidia GTX 460 1GB card.
BTW, the method I used to install nvidia with 2.6.37 was
Code:
pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils
and that worked with all of the .37 kernels (-1 -2 -3 -4) which was download from kernel.org.
When I compiled the .38 (using the same .config of .37), it just boots up to the terminal (not loading gdm). However, I could still login by typing my username and password. So I've checked dmesg of both .37 and .38 and noticed that the Nvidia driver is not loaded in .38.
I tried reinstall it by running pacman and it doesn't do anything. It was thinking of uninstalling nvidia and nvidia-utils but there are so many dependencies conflicts (like screensaver, compiz, etc).
Since, I didn't want to mess up my .37 install, I just grabbed an old HDD and installed from scratch again. This time, I compiled the .38 kernel first (without gui) and then installed nvidia nvidia-utils. It was the same problem.
With this observation, I'm concluding that the nvidia and nvidia-utils from pacman is not compatible with .38.
I've read that I have to wait for nvidia to release a driver that will be compatible with the .38 kernel. Is that true? Does it mean I have to wait for nvidia/nvidia-utils to be updated from pacman? How would I know when it is updated?
I've also read about nouveau, but I guess that is not for me because it doesn't support 3D.
Is there a work around for me to use nvidia/nvidia-utils with .38?
Is nvidia and nvidia-utils proprietary drivers? What is the difference with these two and the one you download directly from nvidia?
First of all, I apologize for the bombardment of questions. As you can tell, I'm so clueless on how nvidia drivers work on linux in general (since it was spoon fed by mint) and I really would love to learn about this is a deeper level. Could someone please explain to me (LAYMANS terms) how nvidia works (and possibly a solution to my issue).
EDIT: Additional info - I have a netbook that also runs arch. It uses an Intel GMA integrated video chip which I used "xf86-video-intel" from pacman and I believe since it is open source, it works with .38 fine. So does that mean if you use an open source driver, it will work with all other kernels?
General :: Unable To Boot On Vmware Workstation 6.5. Kernel Panic
Aug 7, 2010I'm unable to boot the LFS-6.6 which i've built on a vmware workstation 6.5. i had no trouble in installing all the packages and have managed to run all the test suites successfully w.r.t stable LFS-6.6. while booting i get 'kernel panic' and it says unknown device /dev/sda1 and unknow block (0,0). i've only one primary partition without any swap partition. i've a label assigned to /dev/sda1 and have included it in my fstab file. device.map shows 2 entries:
One for the floppy and the other for my harddisk which is- hd0 /dev/sda. this is for the 2nd time i'm stuck at a point after perfectly installing all the stuff as mentioned in the LFS-6.6 book. i've also noticed on this website the many users have similar type of issue. it would be great if somebody could help me.
note: while configuring the linux, i've inbuilt everything required for my system, including support for ramfs and other required filesystems, scsi driver etc.
My host machine is on a intel core 2 duo processor. my virtual scsi hard disk is 3 GB in size and is a ext3 fs. scsi is configured with LSI Logic which is recommended by vmware while adding an hard-disk.

Jun 9, 2011I have been trying to build linux from source code and run it from my machine (intel platform).
Here's what I did:
Code:
I am using Grub2. When I rebooted the new kernel was in the grub list all right. But booting from that kernel fails with no errors or warning. The screen just goes blank. The disk usage indicator LED also doesn't glow which I guess means that the kernel isn't being read from the disk. I rebooted using my older kernel and it booted properly. Then, when I listed my /boot directory, I noticed that there was no initrd.img for 2.6.39. kernel in there, which I think is the problem.

After this the screen just turns into a random mess. It looks like graphics memory is pointing at a area of memory filled with random data. The computer actually boots but the display is unusable and the keyboard fails (num lock doesn't work). I can cleanly halt by pressing the power button and waiting for disk activity to stop. After reading several other threads I've tried various combinations of vga=mode-0x0f00 and nomodeset but the result is always the same. I've set the vga mode to 0x0f00 as I actually get to see up to the "Created cpupool...." in this mode. The system boots without any issues with opensuse 11.2.

Ubuntu :: Unable To Boot After Kernel 2.6.32-24 Update
Sep 1, 2010This morning, I booted into my administrator account and checked for updates. There were a number (bogofilter, for one) but also a update to the 2.6.32-24 kernel. I installed the updates and rebooted the system. When I rebooted, the thought occurred to me (from reading another thread) that one of the reasons my Zareason desktop boots slower than my laptop (55 seconds vs 35) was that I have an external floppy drive attached, and perhaps the delay was a difference in my system checking for a bootable floppy.
So I went into the BIOS when it was booting to check to see if the floppy was enabled (it wasn't). Then I selected "Exit without saving" and resumed booting. What happened next was instead of seeing the Ubuntu icon and the six dots, I see "Ubuntu 10.04" and four dots. Then I get on the black screen these errors (sorry for any mistyping, I wrote them down on a sheet of paper as I had no other computer available to troubleshoot):
udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured
udevadm settle is not permitted while udev is unconfigured

Enter 'help' for built-in commands
initramfs
Googling around once I got into work and had computer access, it seems that the problem is GRUB has lost track of what partition I should boot from? Here is a thread which might be relevant: [URL]. Before I left for work, I went into the BIOS again and looked at the CMOS settings--everything looked normal. I once again exited without saving anything. I was going to try selecting an earlier kernel from the GRUB menu on boot, but couldn't remember the key to press.
I found out later today, to enter GRUB 2 it's been changed to the shift key, and not the F2 key like it used to be. One poster on the aforementioned thread said his system would boot ok to the earlier kernel. The thread above has as its solution to either try to tell GRUB where your boot partition is and/or re-installing GRUB. I have /home on a separate partition, so if I need to do a re-install I can do so without it being a major pain. Sda1 is the partition which has the OS.
CentOS 5 :: Yum Kernel Update - Unable To Boot
Oct 24, 2010I had a Centos 5.5 system working great...and then due to crazy curiosity, installed the kernel update. Did this through the graphical interface, uncheck all update other than kernel. It downloaded, installed fine..After reboot now all I get is GRUB_ and then nothing else! I waited 3-4 minutes and had to shut down system. Have been googling around but thought I will post it here as well..When I boot with Win7 and use Ext2fsd to check, the boot folder is empty. Not sure if this is because ext2fsd does not read boot folder or it got wiped out by the yum upgrade process.

OpenSUSE Install :: Unable To Boot After Updating The Kernel
Oct 4, 2010Yesterday I updated openSuse 11.3 on my laptop. Kernel update from 2.6.34.4-0.1... to 2.6.34.7-0.3-desktop was included. Yast performed fine and at the end it stated to reboot for using the new Kernel. So I did, but what a bad surprise!! Normally the Grub menu should have been updated, but not this time. Fortunately I know how to handle this, but not all users will be able to resolve this problem, so here's what to do if this happens to you: You will run into the Text console saying: Press any button to continue... Before doing this write down on a piece of paper the text lines visible on the screen, starting with:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.34.4-0.1-desktop root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Hitachi....... resume=/dev/disk........
or whatever it reads for your system. You will need this info to edit the menu and succeed to boot. Now press any key and you will get the Grub menu. The standard option will be highlighted. press "e" to edit that option. Next you will see the Grub menu lines
First press key "o" to add a new line, select it by arrow down, press "e" to edit the line. (In my case it was not possible to edit the full original line, but only the added options like vag=0x317) Enter the line you wrote down, but change the kernel's version number to the new one Should look similar like:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.34.7-0.3-desktop root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Hitachi.......
(it works if you only use the part before "resume=/dev/disk....") After finishing hit Enter and you will turn bach to the Grub menu lines. Now move with the up/down arrow key to the old line, press "d" to remove the old line. Next move to the line with "initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.34.4-0.1-desktop", press "e" and edit the line so that it reads: initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.34.7-0.3-desktop press Enter to move back to the Grub menu lines. Now press "b" to boot. After booting log in, open your file manager as root, browse to /boot/grub and open the menu.lst file to edit and change the kernel old version numbers to the new one. Save it and next time it your machine will boot normally again.
