2.6.0-test8 is out

I think I might of had the problem with test7, I can't remember.

It's probaly possible to not compile the modules in the kernel and just use Portage's Alsa-Driver and compile that.

I just switched over to this the other day and whenever I try to mount a cd I get a kernel panic and the system completely locks up. I have to hit the reset button to restart my computer. This also happened with the other two previous tests versions. I can mount CDs fine on 2.4. I keep hoping the new test version will fix it

might be worth noting that -mm1 is out.

I'm finding that I am unable to use sound for an extended period of time. I'm using the intel8x0 sound module with an nforce2 board. If I start up XMMS it'll play fine for as long as I don't start up another application that wants to play sound. If I do start such an app, like Firebird (why it's trying to play sound, I don't know - I've disabled flash), then XMMS will freeze up when trying to switch songs.

I'm getting the following in .xsession-errors, which I assume is from Firebird:

eee

The nforce2 sound does not support hardware mixing, meaning you can only have one sound playing at a time. I suggest you go buy a SB Audigy or Live! card, or you can try and use esound or arts to get software mixing and get more then one sound.

I also get the console junk/kernel panic with mm1. Vanilla test8 works fine for me:

from reading lkml, it sounds like there are some fb issues in test8-mm1.

(I don't use framebuffer, prolly why I didn't have any problems...)

I just booted 2.6.0-test8-mm1 that I compiled from kernel.org sources and mm1 patch .Everything works great- gkrellm sensors, alsa, glxgears gives 8000+FPS, wheel mouse, mplayer, and even frame buffer works for first time. I've got 12 test kernels on this box, and this is the most responsive and fastest yet.All progs seem fine so far.

I also edit my makefile on all kernel compiles, and add these flags in two places in addition to the flags already there:

-02 -march=athlon-xp -falign-functions=16 -falign-loops=16 -falign-jumps=16 -falign-labels=1 -fomit-frame-pointer

I've never had a problem in at least 50 2.4 and 2.6 kernels using these flags.

-mm1 working wonderfully.
I finally have a penguin back where it belongs (above the boot messages, for those who don't know)

Does anyone else have/had this problem...?
Beginning with test7 I think my USB mouse doesn't get into /dev/input/mouse0 anymore. Using test8-mm1 solved the problem at first, but now, after a few reboots, it's the same again! There are also no entries in /dev/usb/hid. I can see that the kernel loads all the correct modules and detects my peripherals. Don't know why it worked the first boots and now can't get it to work anymore. Also compiling USB as modules doesn't help. I do have an nforce2 board.Could this be a kernel bug or is something wrong on my side?

Thanks!
Steve

EDIT: Suddenly using modules it works again. Don't know where to problem is...probably a minor kernel bug.

that's my issue

the part in "processor type and features" where it says
"Subarchitecture Type (fill in here) " --- my words of course --- i choose PC-Compatible and i get an error on this over and over again. Anyone have any clues as to why? I emerged it the first time, then dl'd it from kernel.org.

CHK include/linux/compile.h
CC arch/i386/mach-default/setup.o
cc1: ../kernel: Not a directory
make[1]: *** [arch/i386/mach-default/setup.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/i386/mach-default] Error 2

that's the error i get. :?:

I have the same problem as stefanwa. My usb mouse doesn't work. I compiled this kernel myself so is there anything special I should be compiling in in order to get usb mice to work in X?

I've tried the following drivers in my XF86Config-4 file:
/dev/usbmouse
/dev/mouse
/dev/input/mice

Thanks for any advice!
