Hi All! linux-ruby synced to 2.6.9 now. fbcon works for me. For Nvidia closed source drivers attached patch must be applayed. Also files avaible http://www.ltn.lv/~aivils/files/ruby-2.6.9-20041021.diff.bz2 http://www.ltn.lv/~aivils/files/nvidia-2.6.9.diff Aivils |

The first attempt, with fbcon, died early. The boot messages got to: ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (00:00) and then it hung. Plain 2.6.9 continues with PCI: Probing PCI hardware (bus 00) ACPI: PCI interrupt routing table ... and so on. Ruby did not continue. I tried disabling fbcon by not compiling it. That used to work with ruby 2.6.8.1. I got past this point, the framebuffer initialized, and the pc hung sometime after that. Neither keuboard worked, no numlock LED and not even sysrq+B. The next attempt will be a kernel without framebuffers, I don't need those to run X after all. I'll try without vgacon too if necessary. Please tell if you have any ideas about how to debug this or anything else to try. Helge Hafting |

I booted a ruby-2.6.9 with vgacon only, no framebuffers at all. It came up, and died when running xdm. So I tried single-user mode and found that ruby works fine, and the second keyboard attaches to a dummycon as vt17. (cat /dev/tty17 displays stuff entered on the other keyboard) Running an xserver on the bios-initialized G550 works, using either vt7 or vt17 as keyboard. Running an xserver on the radeon pci card blanks out the vga display (which runs on the G550 - strange) and hangs the pc. No sysrq or anything else - the reset button is the only way out. Any ideas what this could be, the same setup works very well with ruby 2.6.8. I'll try to run a radeon xserver on plain 2.6.9 to see if 2.6.9 simply broke my radeon. Helge Hafting |

Ruby was not my problem. The standard 2.6.9 kernel hangs too if I try to run X on the PCI radeon 9200 SE. This works in 2.6.8.1, and ruby-2.6.8.1. Helge Hafting |

Actualy i use old and stupid source code modifying. i add 5-20 printk in the suspicious places and watch serial console. This process is tiresome. 2. Advanced is kgdb kernel pathes. http://kgdb.linsyssoft.com/ In theory kgdb allow debug Your kernel without source modifiyng. kgdb developers will not race with current kernel, so any must applay kgdb to current kernel by himself. i wont do than and use 1st method. Oft debuging does not got answer, what is broken. Aivils |

Hi, works fine with an Ati Radeon 9800Pro AGP, and with and Ati Radeon AIW 7500 PCI, using XFree86 4.3.0. thanks, Hans On Friday 22 October 2004 16:13, Aivils wrote: > Hi All! > > linux-ruby synced to 2.6.9 now. > > fbcon works for me. > > For Nvidia closed source drivers attached patch > must be applayed. > > Also files avaible > http://www.ltn.lv/~aivils/files/ruby-2.6.9-20041021.diff.bz2 > http://www.ltn.lv/~aivils/files/nvidia-2.6.9.diff > > Aivils |

AGP = TNT2 PCI = MX-440 Patches went on with a hitch. I put vesafb-tng on afterwards and he said he was off 1 line in hunk#1 and #2 of fbmem.c Thanks! What happened to the toothache?
