A new kernel build: 2.6.30-final (Yes, again!)
Yep! You got it, this is the latest build for Ubuntu/Debian and its based on 2.6.30 stable from kernel.org. This new build includes all the good stuff from the older one, which means acerhdf module patch, coretemp patch for Intel Atom, also this should have a more proper and stable Intel i915 drivers, mode settings support and framebuffer support.
Also, seems that somehow I totally screwed up my little download mirror and had to recopy the old flyleaf kernel version and some of my scripts. I’m not totally sure what happened, but I’m trying to fix it.
Now back to this kernel version, I’ve called it “2.6.30-final”, as seems the right version for it. I am including the source code for the kernel, with the patches and the config so you can anytime rebuild it for other systems, like Fedora, CentOS, OpenSuse and so on.
Instruction:
First we need to download them:
wget http://dl.robertalks.com/kernel/2.6.30-final/linux-image-2.6.30-final_1_i386.deb
wget http://dl.robertalks.com/kernel/2.6.30-final/linux-headers-2.6.30-final_1_i386.deb
wget http://dl.robertalks.com/kernel/2.6.30-final/linux-source-2.6.30-final_1_all.deb (this is not necessary, only if you need to build some things)
After we got the deb package, we can install them (you might wanna check the package md5sum):
sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.30-final_1_i386.deb linux-headers-2.6.30-final_1_i386.deb
and also you may install linux-source-2.6.30-final_1_all.deb if you need it.
sudo dpkg -i linux-source-2.6.30-final_1_all.deb
If you need the full source code and config file for this kernel, please go to: http://dl.robertalks.com/kernel/2.6.30-final/source/
Hi from France.
Thanks you for all this works.
Work fine for me on kuki 3.0 rc1.7.
Except the lm-sensors
Anne-Françoise
kuki 3.0? What is that, never heard of that distro.
Also with lm-sensors, you will just need to do:
install lm-sensors,
run sensors-detect,
then add to /etc/modules “coretemp”
and then run modprobe coretemp.
This way it should work fine.
Hi,
thanks for the deb’s! But acerhdf does not load on my acer one … any suggestions?
alex
Hi,
I installed the kernel, but the acerhdf module does not load. Do you have any suggestions?? I have an Acer One 110 …
greetings to all
alex
Well, whats the issue? Boot the new kernel and then open a terminal and try this: dmesg|grep -i acer and it should be there something related to “acerhdf”. I dont belive it doesnt work, but you should give me more info.
Hello again,
You could find kuki here :
http://www.kuki.me/
Very nice distro
Works fine for me !
I run run sensors-detect but it finds no sensors
But acerhdf run fine on my AAO.
Anne-Françoise
Cool, sensors-detect doesn’t actually detect the sensor, but you will have to do also:
sudo modprobe coretemp
echo coretemp | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
sudo reboot
after all of this, run: sensors and it should show u the core0 and core1 temp
Hi I’ve tried your kernel and everything works except from acerhdf. It seems to be loaded ok, but I’m unable to set It to kernel mode.
dmesg | grep -i acerhdf
acerhdf: version: 0.5.1 compilation date: Jun 9 2009 11:06:43
acerhdf: BIOS vendor:Acer versoin:v0.3309
acerhdf: kernelmode OFF, to enable:
acerhdf: echo -n “enabled” > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/mode
acerhdf: http://piie.net/files/acerhdf_README.txt
According to the instructions, If I run “echo -n “enabled” > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/mode” I get permission denied, also with root privileges
You should try to add that in /etc/rc.local and reboot the netbook. See if it helps, anyway I think acerhdf does work and does what it should, even if you have that warning.
I tried your suggestion but I don’t think it makes any difference since dmesg | grep -i acerhdf is reporting exactly the same info.. I’m not sure that its really working, the fan is turned on all the time.
eh… luv it.
I had to change file permissions to edit it
sudo chmod 777 /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/mode
sudo echo -n “enabled” > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/mode
but they don’t work if I add them to /etc/rc.local
Greetings form Peru
Hi, you should only add `echo -n “enabled” > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/mode` to /etc/rc.local. Normally it should work, but if not, try the new version of kernel, which you can find the in latest post.
