Porteus Kernel Builder

[Blaze]

Hi johnny.mau,
do you want to disable all options in these sections?

Code: Select all

<*> Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers (libata)
[*] Multiple devices driver support (RAID and LVM)

Thanks.

Blaze Thanks so much for your support.)

Hello Blaze.

I have used the NEKO script for a long time to download the version and apply the patches.

Usually use the same .config that I created with the localmodconfig function. It worked fine until version 5.7.2

When I compiled version 5.7.4 and 5.7.5 I did not notice any errors during the compilation but my WIFI card no longer activated. I am not identifying the flaw in the .config file because the ath9k_htc module compiles and goes up and the firmware is read.

I tried the 5.7.2 kernel that you posted and WIFI works satisfactorily, but I notice in dmesg a constant error message that I couldn't identify the cause and I don't know if it's serious: buggy seq_file .next function 0xffffffff8115402e did not updated position index.

Could you send me your .config for me to compare with mine and try to identify the failure?

Thankful Maia

[Blaze]

Hi maia.

I use config from neko by default.
You can download it from here.

I have the same warning as you

Unfortunately it didn't work.
I will continue doing some tests but I believe the problem is with the version above 5.7.4.

Note the difference between the two kernels:

Anyway, Blaze thanks for the help.

[Blaze]

maia, I sent a message to neko.
If something comes from him, I will let you know.

[maia]

TKS

[donald]

Seems to be an upstream issue

Confirmed for 5.7.3 (where ath9k changes were made)
Works fine after downgrading to 5.7.2

[maia]

Thank you Donald.
I will temporarily go back a few steps until version 5.6.
In 5.6 it worked smoothly, without strange error warnings, in which I cannot understand if it is serious or not.

[Blaze]

maia, I got a response from neko and a new mkKernel 20.06.22-1 with linux-firmware-20200519.8ba6fa6-noarch-1plus.xzm

Can you try a new kernel 5.7.6 ?

[Ed_P]

Will you, or neko , be adding the seq_read-info-message-about-buggy-next-functions-fix.patch fix referenced in your link to the next Porteus kernel?

[Blaze]

Ed_P, I checked source code of fs/seq_file.c kernel 5.7.6 and this fix was applied by default.

[Ed_P]

This is what I see with 5.7.6.

Hello Blaze.
I just tested the version now and it still has the same bug.

I'm glad I have two other wifi cards.

Thanks for all..
