just compiled a 2.4.19 kernel with smp support...

[Xavier Grave]

Hi,

I've just compiled a 2.4.19 kernel with smp support but when I do a cat
/proc/cpuinfo I can only see one processor ? Do I need to set something more
than SMP=y in make config ?

I'm using a debian kernel source package with the patches for powerpc.

Newer machines need my latest tree for SMP

Ok, I've downloaded it and compiled it, but the only message I get at boot is
loading elf32 image or something like that and nothing more...

I have tried with vmlinux.elf-pmac, zImage.chrp, zImage.chrp-rs6k
with and without SMP.

To compile the kernel I have used a .config based on one from a 2.4.19 which
runs

Any idea ?
Thanks in advance, xavier

If you use linux, just boot a plain vmlinux file, not a zImage.

Work fine now, using vmlinux + the option video=ofonly.

Great to use two processors !

What video card do you have ? It doesn't work without
video=ofonly ? It's a radeon or nVidia ? Can you
send me the lspci -vv output (as root)

Ben.

It's seems to be a RADEON 9000.

Yah, though XFree CVS should work, and Michel Danzer debs
might too, but that has to be tested with him.

What about radeonfb ? (The kernel framebuffer device). Does
it work with my kernel ?

Ben.

It is in the kernel, but how do you now it work ?

I have the two penguin at start.
But I don't know how to make xfree86 to use radeonfb.

Ok, if you have the penguins and the text console, then it
works.

Use "fbdev" as the driver in xfree, that will cause X to
run unaccelerated on top of radeonfb, so it will at least
be able to set mode & colors properly.

I think support for the 9000 have been added to XFree CVS
recently, though that may not yet be in the DRI one (and
so Michel snapshots). The XFree CVS is beeing merged
again into the DRI one now, so this should be fixed soon.

Beware that the radeon 2D driver is still basically 4.2.0.

I don't have them at hand, ask him for instructions

Not necessarily if you're booting with video=ofonly. cat /proc/fb

Yep, and in the meantime, you could try telling the radeon driver to
treat it like a 8500 with the ChipID or Chipset directive.

What do I need to put ? There is 4 different RADEON 8500 ?

Ok, this is offb, so you don't have radeonfb. Another user
is reporting me that radeonfb doesn't work on your card.

I'll see what I can do.

Try to run X11 with an Apple studio Display 17'' LCD

[Xavier Grave]

Hi,

I have downloaded the CVS tree and compiled it.
The graphic board is a Radeon R250 If [Radeon 9000].
The machine is a bi G4 1Ghz powermac.

If I try a XFree86 -configure I have this error :
(EE) RADEON(0): Cannot read V_BIOS (5)

but It generates a XF86Config.new where the driver name is ati.
If I do a XFree86 -xf86config /root/XF86Config.new the screen remain blank.
And I have only remote session on the machine possible.
If I put radeon instead of ati in the config file and ChipID at 0x514c
(Radeon 8500) I have the same problem but differents error messages.

I join the log message and the XF86Config.new generated by the configuration.

Does anybody have the same configuration ?

Any help welcome :-)

Hrm... I didn't fully wake up yet ;) I meant if you use "yaboot",
not "linux" :)
