I use lilo, and have two different kernels. One is newer and use KMS with it.What I would like to do, is to be able to set vga=xxx for only one of the kernels.Is this possible?I would also like to be able to code into lilo.conf options that I pass on the commandline, but am unsure how to do thisedit:
adding my current lilo.conf
append=" vt.default_utf8=0"
boot = /dev/sda

I'm unable to boot my box since the first 2.6.34 kernel arrived.I hoped the second will fix the problem but it didn't.The display just enters in the power save mode after a second and that's it.The system boots fine with the 2.6.33.8-149.fc13.i686 kernel.The lspci result is:

I can't boot any kernels now, even old ones...
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a grub menu with a ton of old kernel entries that I want to delete. I've scoured this forum, and haven't found anything that works. I've tried:
Code:"the easiest way to get rid of old kernels from grub is to uninstall the package, the post-install scripts will update grub
for example my current kernel is:
uname -a
Linux hemma 2.6.31-16-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 8 04:02:15 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
then remove older kernels found in /boot like this:
sudo aptitude remove linux-image-2.6.31-15-generic" When I tried that, the output showed the package being removed, but nothing was removed from the grub menu. I tried running the kernel I supposedly removed, and it wouldn't start, which is promising, but how do I get it out of the grub menu? I've also tried using Synaptic, but that didn't work either.
I am trying to install some patches and drivers needed for a wifi card, but im getting an error that says: "build your kernel with CONFIG_LIBIPW=m." How can I recompile the kernel to add that? And can I do it without having to download a new kernel package? (i mean recompiling the existing kernels)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have downloaded the newest most stable Linux kernel, 2.6.33.2. I thought I would test this using VirtualBox. So I create a dynamically sized hard disk of 4 GB. And installed CentOS 5.3 with just the minimum packages, just the development libs and development tools. I unzipped in the /usr/src directory. I setup the make menuconfig with just the default settings.
After that I ran make and got the following error:
Code:
net/bluetooth/hci_sysfs.o: final close failed: No space left on device
make[2]: *** [net/bluetooth/hci_sysfs.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [net/bluetooth] Error 2
make: *** [net] Error 2
The amount of space I have left is after it give that error is:
Code:
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
3.3G 3.3G 0 100% /
/dev/hda1 99M 12M 82M 13% /boot
tmpfs 125M 0 125M 0% /dev/shm
So my virtual harddisk size is 4gb and the actual size if 3.5gb. So what happened to the other 500mb? How much size should I give when compiling and installing a Linux kernel? Are there any guidelines to follow when doing this? This is my first time, so just experimenting with this.
Take Red Hat Enterprise Linux for example, it has U1 to U5 editions, and each edition supported several kernels, like U5 supported 2.6.18-194.el5PAE, 2.6.18-194.el5xen and 2.6.18-194.el5.
How can I know all the kernels supported by each edition of various Linux distribution? Like all the kernels supported by Red Hat Enterprise Linux U3 or Debian 5.0, or SUSE 11. Is there any websites providing such information or I have to log in their official site to look for? And how can I be kept posted with such information?
Can you give me some advantages of Recompilation of New Linux Kernel and Installations.

As I was trying to do some patching on Ubuntu's kernel I've found out kernel.org's patches cannot be merged correctly with the kernel source. I'm wondering if distributions like Ubuntu have their own kernels different from official ones?
Another thing that I think could be related to this question is the name of the directory of source tree in Ubuntu that is linux-headers-2.6.31-21. What does that 21 stand for? Also there is a directory named linux-headers-2.6.31-21-generic. What's the difference between these two?
If you have not heard about some groups that are porting the almighty Android OS onto Apple iDevices, then you should really check out the iDroid team. So far really big advances and progress has been made on the iPhone 3G/2G and iPod Touch for firmwares OS 3.1.2, .3.1.3 and iOS 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2.1. With Blackra1n, redsn0w and sn0wbreeze supported jailbreaks.
We need Linux Kernel developers big time for this project as this is the thing that is holding us back. Having people spread out getting started on ports for other iDevices, slows down the updating process. So please visit [URL] We need more development on the kernels for ports to the newer generations of iDevices. If anyone is interested, hop on our IRC #idroid-dev at [URL].
I'm running Fedora 12 - Linux 2.6.32.21 with a boot partion on /dev/sdb3 of a hard disk.
I downloaded a vanilla kernel version 2.6.35.4 and have built it and run it successfully. I built this kernel to play with building device drivers.
My grub configuration uses the same root filesystem for my fedora installation as my vanilla 2.6.35.4 kernel; both use the LVM root filesystem. (/dev/sd4 /dev/sdb5 /dev/sdb6)
When I'm running fedora 12 (2.6.32.21) I can see the files in /boot which contains my kernel, system-map, initramfs, grub directory, etc. I also see my vanilla kernel 2.6.35.4 and it's associated support files (map, initramfs, etc.)
My question is when I boot into my vanilla 2.6.35.4 kernel and I look in /boot, I only see my vanilla kernel and it's associated support files. No grub, no fedora kernel. If I do a df -a, I see that /dev/sdb3 is not mounted like it is when I'm running my fedora kernel. I'm confused as to what is going on here. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Is removing previous older kernels "vmlinuz", when updates do get a newer version an easy task, or do the more recent Linux like Ubuntu 9.10 do that automatically, and only keep a few older previous kernels ?
View 6 Replies View RelatedBasically, About 50% of the time, the system boots and sets the console resolution to something strange, and the console renders in a small box in the top-left hand corner of my screen. This causes problems not only with the display of the console, but with the display of X as well.
I have an Intel GL40 chipset on this laptop, with an integrated GMA4500 GPU. I am using the latest stable Intel video drivers (2.10.0-1), and have tried using the git drivers. In addition, the problem has been occuring since December, when I install Arch linux on this machine, I have just now had the time to address it. So basically, the issue has persisted with all driver versions since mid-December to the latest releases.
In addition, I have tried using several kernels, including:
But the problem persists with each.
I wish I could give you relevant diagnostic information for this issue, but if I had any idea where to start...
I will gladly post any information necessary. I was going to post a copy of everything.log for a successful and unsuccesful boot, but unfortunately they put me over the posing limit by about 100,000 characters each.
I guess, on second thought, that my Intel video driver really wouldn't have anything to do with my console, now would they?
When I run yum list installed command the output shows two kernels:

Would it therefore be safe to remove the first kernel in the installed list to save having two kernels being updated everytime I run yum update? Or is the PAE kernel dependant upon the original?

I have a fairly aged Pentium 4, RAID, desktop computer with Fed 11. I started off with the 686 PAE kernel and update it whenever the update software tells me to. Some time ago I downloaded an NVidia driver which said it needed the 586 kernel so I installed that as well.I then uninstalled the NVidia driver as it caused some minorish problems without any improvement to the graphics. The bottom line is I now have the last three 686 kernels and the last three 586 kernels, which I'm pretty sure I don't need. The machine seems to run fine whichever I use with no discerable differences.My questions are, what is the difference between the two types, which should I actually use and how do I get rid of the other. It would at the very least reduce bandwidth use when updating.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy MythTV system is running under F12. It is in "appliance mode;" all configured and happily doing the PVR thing without a pressing need for upgrades.However, there is a feature in the upcoming 2.6.32 kernel that I'd like to take advantage of; internal support for a certain capture card.
I see 2.6.32 mentioned as part of the F13 release. My question is, will it also be available for F12 . . . maybe sooner than the F13 release?Another way to put this is: How wedded are Fx releases and kernel releases? Is a major kernel goalpost like 2.6.32 the reason why Fx releases are made?
i installed the PAE kernel and was wondering if it's safe (and how) to remove the non-PAE kernels. from the system.This is F13.

I am using Ubuntu 9.10 and am facing an issue while booting up. It goes into initfs command prompt on one of the 4 kernels that show up in the boot menu. I tried to look around for a likely solution and hence did the following:1. ran "chkdsk c: /f" in my windows partition.2. Added "rootdelay=90" in "/boot/grub/menu.lst" file.This is how my /boot/grub/menu.lst file looks and the problem is with the kernel 2.6.31-20-generic:

I have an issue with apt-get that has been bugging me, namely that it tries to delete kernels I did not specify for deletion.
This is an issue that has been present over at least the last three releases and is present for both 32bit and 64bit, so it might actually be a feature and not a bug, however I can't see it's usefulness.
When I use the command:
Code:
sudo apt-get remove --purge 2.6.32-21*
It not only tries to remove the kernel 2.6.32.21 but gives me the following output:
Code:
sudo apt-get remove --purge 2.6.32-22*
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done

When I go through with this command to remove the oldest kernel on the system, it will actually delete all kernels present on my PC (as I painfully learned when I first tried it). Why is that the case? Wouldn't it make more sense to only remove the kernel 2.6.32.22?
I am running Maverick and I have installed through the terminal those two kernel versions (26 and 27). Once I restart the system and choose either of those kernels to start, I can only work in console mode. I am using 2.6.35-23 without a problem and I have been having this same problem with version 25 too.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having an issue with my suspend, and nothing seems to be fixing it. Every time I suspend, the computer starts up as if it were shut down. Somebody recommended that I use a previous kernel, such as 2.6.35-28, rather than the current kernel, 2.6.38-. When I open Synaptic, no previous kernels are listed, so I wanted to see if anybody else knew how to install previous kernels.

After a kernel update today, I noticed that new kernels are not being added to my grub menu.lst (so consequently, I was running an older kernel).
Any obvious reason why this would happen (kernels being installed normally, with yum update)? I thought the whole process was supposed to be automagic.
Would it have anything to do with the fact that I just kept my F11 menu.lst, and added a F12 kernel to it when I installed F12 (to a separate partition), then eventually (today, finally) removed the f11 kernels from it?
Here's my menu.lst, in case it's useful:
