[parisc-linux] No 2.6 kernel on 735/125 with CRX24?

[parisc-linux] No 2.6 kernel on 735/125 with CRX24?

[Johannes Raspe]

Hi all,

I tried the "official" 2.6.8 Debian-image and 2.6.8.1-pa11-image but none 
worked.
After booting, the message "if this is the last..." about graphic and 
serial-console is printed and after that (I suppose when the kernel tries to 
initialize the framebuffer) the screen turns blue, no HDD-activity anymore, 
the system hangs.
As far as I can see no other messages.
With 2.4.27-pa4 everything is fine.

machine: 735/125
graphics: CRX24
palo-commandline: 2/vmlinux root=/dev/sda6 HOME=/
32-bit kernel

Any clues?

Johannes

Hi Joel,

I tried:
palinux-712-defconfig-2.6.8.1-pa11
palinux-b180-defconfig-2.6.8.1-pa11
palinux-32-2.6.6-pa4
palinux-712-defconfig-2.6.6-pa4
palinux-b180-defconfig-2.6.6-pa4

all with the same result as before.

After that I compiled a 2.6.9-rc2-pa7 kernel without support for framebuffer 
(CONFIG_FB) which booted perfectly with serial console.
So I think we can track down the problem to the framebuffer driver in the 
kernels > 2.6 with my graphics device, which should be supported according to 
the beginning of stifb.c.

I attached both, the 2.4 and the 2.6 dmesg.

What could I try next ??

Johannes

I trust that it's a known issue: read the thread on debian-hppa <http://l=
ists.debian.org/debian-hppa/2004/09/msg00000.html>

It seems that severall are already working on this pb :).

Hi again,

I don't know if this is really the same problem. The problem described in t=
he=20
link is about the penguin getting his legs chopped. I would be glad if I=20
could even see a penguin, with or without legs :).
Where can I get 2.6.4-hppa-kernels? I tried the source from www.kernel.org,=
=20
but this seems to lack HIL-support and at the cvs.parisc-linux.org site the=
=20
oldest kernels are 2.6.5.
With a 2.6.4 kernel I could verify if I have the same problem as mentioned =
in=20
the link above, because this problem first came up with kernels > 2.6.4.

Regards Johannes

any more with stifb on my c110 or b180)?

Either you choose anonymous co of cvs tree:
see <http://www.parisc-linux.org/faq/cvs.html>

or you grab the tarball at:
<http://cvs.parisc-linux.org/download/linux-2.6/>
(the patch against vanilla src is also available)

Hmm good starting point :)

Hi Joel,

unfortunately I can't find any suitable 2.6.4 kernel or kernel-source on
http://cvs.parisc-linux.org/download/linux-2.6/ !
The 2.4.6 kernel-source-tar.bz2 in /autobuild has no hppa-specific
extensions (no HIL-support) and the oldest pa-kernels
and pa-sources available are 2.6.5.

Any idea whre I can get 2.6.4 pa-specific kernel binaries or kernel
sources? How could I use cvs to get an old kernel source like 2.6.4?

Thanks Johannes

I have no idea how stifb works, but perhaps this is the same problem:

http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2004-March/022600.html

Does passing "stifb=bpp:8" on the palo command-line make any difference?
Perhaps the 32 bpp code is broken?  I can't find any other dmesgs posted
to the list with stifb using 32 bpp...

Hi,

I tried "video=stifb:bpp:8", "stifb=bpp:8", "video=stifb:bpp:32", 
"stifb=bpp:32" with kernels 2.6.4, 2.6.8.1-pa11 and the current 2.6.9-pa 
kernel, all with the same result as before. It does not seem to be the same 
problem mentioned in the posting above, because I could never get a 
2.6.x-kernel running on my machine.
