aacraid update driver successfully loaded on host madmoxxi, provided the blacklist entry in /etc/modprobe.d/adaptec-raid-controllers.conf is removed.

donald · 2017-12-15T12:57:59Z

Tested on sigchld

donald · 2017-12-15T12:58:19Z

@all: Please review. What do you think of putting the kernel config into the bee file?

pmenzel · 2017-12-15T13:10:41Z

The script reduce-config.pl works for all Kconfig files? Maybe include that in the file name?

Including the Kconfig directory in the bee files is fine with me, as the Linux bee files itself are more or less identical making it easy to compare the configuration.

thomas · 2017-12-15T13:36:28Z

I have no probs having the kernel config directly in the bee file

donald · 2017-12-15T13:54:29Z

All files? Directory? I don't understand the question. It takes a single file (e.g. the .config lying around after a "make menuconfig") and produces a single file. This output is embedded in the bee file. The problem is, that the process takes some time - even in /dev/shm and it is not that easy, for example, to add a new option at the right place.

You could do it like this:

run the bee file ( until it did the config - you can abort when it starts compiling the kernel)
go into the build directory ( like /scratch/local/bee-buczek/linux/linux-4.9.68-193/build )
save the minimalistic file, which is now in .config.old ('cp .config.old config.old')
do whatever you like with 'make menuconfig' to produce a changed .config
now reduce the new .config: cp .config config.in; $wherever/bee-files/scripts/reduce-config.pl
wait (perhaps 15 minutes!)
see what has changed (diff -y config.old config.reduced) and work that into the bee file.

Or you just add your wished option to the end of the embedded config in the bee file and leave the normalization to someone else ;-)

pmenzel · 2017-12-15T14:03:19Z

Sorry, I think we misunderstood each other.

Anyway, I am sorry to tell you, that I just now remember, that coreboot does something similar, and they use the Kconfig Make target savedefconfig.

savedefconfig - Creates a ‘mini-config’ file, stripping out all of the symbols
that were left as default values. This is very useful for debugging, and is
how config files should be saved.

I’ll test it right away.

donald · 2017-12-15T15:20:49Z

Forget about the script. make savedefconfig produces the same output but instantly.

These three backported patches are already included in 4.9.68.

We want our kernel revision numbers to be unique over all linux kernel packages. Avoid conflicts by doing a quick check against the available bee files. Patch by Thomas Kreitler

Include the names of the conflicting files in the error message.

thomas · 2017-12-15T16:45:54Z

About the nouveau driver:

It 'works', and one gets a gdm-login
glxgears work too
flightgear (call with fgfs) still freezes, but less dramatic then before (I'm trying to be positive :) -- so our accellerated graphic-setup still differs from the major distros, and needs further checking.

Include kernel config in the bee file, so that we can better track config changes. The set of non-default config options was generated with `make savedefconfig`.

Compile the aacraid driver supplied by Adaptec, because the in-tree aacraid driver lacks support for async mode. Patch by Thomas Kreitler

Add kernel modules required for the ZFS filesystem. http://zfsonlinux.org/ Patch by Thomas Kreitler

As requested by Paul.

As requested by Thomas: * Add CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU=m * Change CONFIG_DRM=y to CONFIG_DRM=m When CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU ist set, CONFIG_FB_VESA is implied. Note, that nvidia_drm.ko requires the modules drm and drm_kms_helper. Because we select differenct nvidia modules depending on the graphics card found at boot time, we don't have that dependency in modules.dep and need to explicitly load the drm modules for nvidia.

Version 55022 is documented in the comment above.

I've noticed that too and asked Thomas. He wanted that version, because its tested.

Then put that version in the comment to not confuse people.

changed that in #555

pmenzel · 2017-12-18T09:52:24Z

Please also add on what system you tested this.

donald · 2017-12-18T10:43:31Z

4.9.70 is out :-) I try that first....
