2.6.35.6 new kernel available

[cbxbiker61]

2.6.35.6 is now available.

This version has a patch that theoretically fixes the e-sata port multiplier problem.  It's the patch that is being rolled into 2.6.36.  E-sata users check it out and see if it works.

Kernel and modules are available from the following location:

http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva/

Features e-sata, dmcrypt, IPV6, CIFS, NFS4, EXT3, EXT4, JFS, XFS, FUSE(for ntfs-3g), UBIFS, usb-serial, uvcvideo, iptables, appletalk, bluetooth, v4l and ppp.

Thnx I really want to test it!

This should run on my guruplug server plus right? I did set the right environment variables in uboot but I am not to sure where to copy what files. I know where to put the uImage, but do I need an updated uInitrd too? and what about the modules etc?

my config: debian testing @ sd card and uImage & uInitrd @ NAND

[savale]

Thanks it boots the new kernel by just replacing the uImage (it still uses the old uInitrd), but would be nice to know what else should be done, anyone?

[savale]

I am not to sure if this is kernel related, but hdparm is not working for me:

root@guruplug:~# hdparm -i /dev/sdc

/dev/sdc:
 HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Invalid exchange
 HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: Invalid argument

[birdman]

Thanks it boots the new kernel by just replacing the uImage (it still uses the old uInitrd)

This kernel doesn't use an uInitrd - it's has all the bits it needs to get going without modules.

[savale]

my situation:
guruplug server plus
- kernel uImage on NAND
- rootfs (debian testing) on SD card.

Thanks, trying to get it working now, but I must be missing a thing in my parameters?, since it can;t mount my rootfs:

I did set:

setenv mainlineLinux yes
setenv arcNumber 2659

it tries to find the rootfs on my NAND maybe or is ext4 missing? I got my rootfs on a sd card (/dev/sdb1 = unused boot, /dev/sdb2 = ext4 rootfs)

Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.

The SD-card slot is internally connected to the USB bus. Partitions on a USB Mass Storage device do not become available immediately (you should see a message in the kernel log when they do).
You can try adding "rootdelay=10" to the kernel boot parameters to delay mounting the root file system.

[odoll]

Kernel and modules are available from the following location:
Features e-sata, dmcrypt, IPV6, CIFS, NFS4, EXT3, EXT4, JFS, XFS, FUSE(for ntfs-3g), UBIFS, usb-serial, uvcvideo, iptables, appletalk, bluetooth, v4l and ppp.

sorry, for my noob q, however re my iSCSI issue http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=2329.0 would you know if your kernel supports iSCSI target?

thx & cheers

I've just added iscsi_tgt support to 2.6.35.7.  See if that works for you.

[odoll]

thx a lot, I think one step further, but still failing to start.
However as birdman spottet in the other thread would it also need crc32c enabled?

That's built-in.

lost!?

Another q: would it be good enough to have the kernel's system.map file in the /boot dir?
re https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/System.map SVGALib expects to find it /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/System.map?

However on my system it's a link to a non-existing directory!?
