Fedora 9 latest kernel - 4k stack disabled

2008-05-20T00:44:00.000-07:00

it take a day to update fedora 8 to fedora 9.. actually, there are several way to upgrade it.
A. Download ISO fedora 9 -> burn DVD - > boot -> upgrade.
B. Update thru yum.. -> install fedora-release 9 rpm -> enter 'yum update'
C. Download ISO fedora 9 - > mount to /media/iso -> install fedora-release 9 package-> edit /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora*.repo -> change 'baseurl=file:///media/iso/' -> then upgrade by simply enter 'yum update'

i choose step C, due to limited internet access in my place and i hate use cd/dvd.. :lol:

Here is the latest kernel for fedora 9 - i change only 2 thing in configuration for this kernel release.

CPU set to AMD K8
4k stack disabled

Notes : there are some problem with nvidia driver & kernel 2.6.25 , so i have to downgrade Xorg package and use xorg from Fedora 8 package.. how to downgrade?

this tutorial intend to fedora 8 (acer aspire 4520) with some info about setup wireless connection for atheros AR5BXB63
What you need ?
- ndiswrapper 1.52
- kernel with CONFIG_4KSTACKS disabled
- Windows XP atheros driver from acer.com.cn , pick Wireless Atheros driver

ndiswrapper
1. Download latest ndiswrapper from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93482
2. extract ndiswrapper-1.52.tar.gz
3. use terminal & enter to the following directory
[root@localhost ndiswrapper-1.52]# make
...

[root@localhost ndiswrapper-1.52]# make install

IF you get message like this
'*** WARNING: This kernel seems to use 4K stack size option (CONFIG_4KSTACKS); many Windows drivers will not work with this option enabled. Disable CONFIG_4KSTACKS option, recompile and install kernel' , you need to compile your own kernel or try using my own kernel in following post

[root@localhost ndiswrapper-1.52]# rm -r /etc/ndiswrapper
(this will remove any previous installation by ndiswrapper)

Wireless Atheros driver
1. download above link, extract and open terminal into the extracted folder
[root@localhost Atheros]# /usr/bin/ndiswrapper -i net5211.inf

latest fedora kernel 4k stack disabled

2008-02-04T00:12:00.000-08:00

after i upgrade fedora 7 to 8 via yum, i try to compile a customization kernel to enable ndiswrapper in fedora 8. This kernel already disabled 4k stack and optimized for AMDK8 CPU , so ndiswrapper can run sucessfully in this kernel.

kernel-2.6.23.14-107.fedora4520.fc8.i686.rpm

To install
1. rpm -i kernel-2.6.23.14-107.fedora4520.fc8.i686.rpm kernel-devel-2.6.23.14-107.fedora4520.fc8.i686.rpm

2. edit file /boot/grub/menu.lst
change default to 0

3. reboot and choose this kernel in grub menu.

GNOME Sensors Applet in Acer Aspire 4520

2007-10-07T18:34:00.000-07:00

(sorry, i dunno how to slow it down)

gnome sensors applet 1.8.1
http://sensors-applet.sourceforge.net/

make sure you have install gnome-applet-sensors , lm_sensors, libsensors3, hddtemp (for monitoring harddisk) via yum.

to enable hddtemp recognized our harddisk, you need to change this file /etc/sysconfig/hddtemp

# hddtemp(8) daemon options. # Add at least the disk(s) you want to monitor here.

HDDTEMP_OPTIONS="/dev/sda"
#HDDTEMP_DAEMON_OPTIONS="-l 127.0.0.1"
HDDTEMP_DAEMON_OPTIONS="-d"

then, try restart hddtemp with '/etc/init.d/hddtemp restart' in terminal

nvidia GPU always show '-233 ° C',sorry because i don't know how to fix this yet :P

installing uvcvideo in acer aspire 4520

2007-09-03T18:26:00.001-07:00

Hardware Browser

there is no official release files for uvcvideo, i only find it via svn, so based on this instructions u need to enter this command to install it.

1. open terminal (lets say you already have a folder name linuxzip in ~/linuxzip)

[planet@fedorasal linuxzip]$ svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk
A trunk/uvc_ctrl.c

A trunk/uvc_compat.h
A trunk/uvc_driver.c
A trunk/uvcvideo.h
A trunk/Makefile
Checked out revision 125.
[planet@fedorasal linuxzip]$

2. then
[planet@fedorasal linuxzip]$ cd trunk/
3. type make and lastly make install (as root)

multiple application sound in Fedora 7

2007-09-03T09:38:00.000-07:00

one of the commenter john perez asked me about sound system in fedora 7, actually i have same problem like him, i can't have sound in mplayer when i view youtube video, but if i closed youtube website, i can play mplayer, the problem is i can't have multiple sound like before, i have to turn off another application that use sound system, anyway i found the solution to fixed this bug, from here..
linuxquestions.org - multi application sound
1.just copy this code to /etc/asound.conf (as root)

pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "swmixer"
}

pcm.swmixer {
    type dmix
    ipc_key 1234
    slave {
            pcm "hw:0,0"
            period_time 0
            period_size 1024
            buffer_size 4096
            rate 44100
    }
}
ctl.swmixer {
type hw
card 0
}

credit to dive
save it, and restart alsa sound with this command

/etc/init.d/alsasound restart

if u cant restart it, just relogout/ login again. then you can have sound system(minimize/bell) / audacious / youtube website playing sound together.

Atheros AR5006EG or AR5007EG
Generally, atheros support under linux via madwifi package, but it take me 4 days to figure out that this card doesn't work in linux yet...silly me, i does'nt read the last line in compatible list... lol but i believe maybe if you try to compile your own kernel without 4k stack, it might be run successfully

Notes:	It's returns Hal status 13, and sometimes hal status 3
Notes:	In Openhal the interface ath0 show up there aren't any communication, the commands like iwlist return error.
Notes:	Suported by ndiswrapper ver 1.47 (use tarball package) with windows xp driver.
Notes:	In Fedora 7, crash (kernel panic) when try to load ndiswrapper (modprobe ndiswrapper)
Notes:	Crash because default kernel limit stack to 4k. Need to recompile kernel with CONFIG_4KSTACKS disabled.
