[8.04] Boot 14 sec with custom kernel | Model ZG5, 8GB SSD

About the WiFi - I like to use the Madwifi drivers as they support packet injection using Aireplay-ng.

If I use this kernel can I disable the wifi driver and install Madwifi drivers?

 

Hmmh..why did the wifi not work for me??? Do i have to disable the madwifi?

 

i don't know, maybe if you disable the module ath5k...

Let's try

 

It's double the 14 seconds the OP talks about though.. Can we get Petaramesh' kernel faster?

 

I hope someone could. !!

I was publishing this news because he made a custom kernel which works... So, now, some geek could maybe optimize again this config file ?

 

like i said, I have a custom kernel here that works. Only things broken right now are bluetooth and webcam. Come to #onelinux on freenode (irc.freenode.org)for more info. I have not released it yet, but intend to as soon as the last two issues are out of it.

 

maybe i'm just blind but i can't find the download link for the .deb
could anyone help me? i would refer the new wifidriver and of coure the new kernel itself

 

Petaramesh' latest kernel and header with Madwifi and Ath5k as the later has still some problems (I noticed these as well):
http://petaramesh.org/public/arc/projec ... m_i386.deb
http://petaramesh.org/public/arc/projec ... m_i386.deb

Bootchart shows 21 seconds for his previous release; there is definitely room for improvement (well at least 7 sec of improvement).

 

I switched back to my own compiled kernel instead of the debs. The ath5k drivers didn't work for me that well (I had some problems connecting different networks). Also, the wifi leds didn't work and that's really annoying. Besides that, booting took a while and gnome ran slower to my opinion.

I never managed to get the webcam working with my own compiled kernel, but using http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4777298&postcount=1, it worked. These are the commands to recompile the uvcvideo drivers. Fire up cheese afterwards and see some shiny teeth.

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install libusb-0.1-4 libusb-dev linux-headers-$(uname -r) subversion
$ svn co --revision 205 svn://svn.berlios.de/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk uvcvideo-r205
$ cd uvcvideo-r205
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo depmod -ae
$ sudo modprobe uvcvideo

 

Is Petramesh setting CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME=y in his config?

 

no, it is not set to y according to the config file. I just asked him if he could include it in its config for next versions

 

He has updated the kernel, and now it contains this parameter (in version 11)

 

I am not able to use ntfs-3g and therefore I can't mount any ntfs storage devices with petaramesh's kernel. Can anyone confirm this?

 

Excellent! Will try it tonight

 

is there any link to an already compiled kernel? i have no clue how to compile?

thx in advance

 

tried it several times like the howto of the origin post, no chance ;/

 

It's looking good so far. My sdhc is rock solid with EXT2, wireless seems fine (although I have had a few random dropouts), and sound is good (but I haven't tried microphone or headphones). Not sure if it is my imagination but screen updates (eg. when moving between apps) seems slower.

• Download the last three attachments (in section 'Annexes' just before the comments start)[/*:m:2frsbioi]
• run the following
  
  Code:

  sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite linux-image-2.6.27-a1sp011_2.6.27-a1sp011-10.00.Custom_i386.deb linux-headers-2.6.27-a1sp011_2.6.27-a1sp011-10.00.Custom_i386.deb

  [/*:m:2frsbioi]
• reboot[/*:m:2frsbioi]

If you have the wireless LED commands in rc.local you will need to comment them out as they don't work with this kernel.

Update - microphone works well but headphones still not detected.

Petaramesh's kernel 11 is shaping as a seriously good option. Perhaps it should be in the wiki.

here are all of the versions of the oneLinux kernel.
Everything is working out of box now. Next step is to steamline it and remove any extra packages. Also to fix the headphone detection...
