Problems, Problems, Problems
0About 3-4 days ago, I upgraded WordPress to 2.8 by using the Administration console, which just delete everything on my server, well my blog I mean. The I’ve done it manually and screw-up the rest of it, was working hard, very unstable and weird MySQL issues.
Revision 2 for kernel 2.6.30-final released…
8Don’t worry, this is not a new release and nothing really changed besides the acerhdf module. Yes, I have updated the acerhdf module to the latest version, which is 0.5.6 and I suppose its a bit improved. I didn’t have time to test it, but I’ll get around doing that too. Beside this, I also have changed the default values for FANON, FANOFF and INTERVAL and now they are set like this:
FANON=60
FANOFF=55
INTERVAL=5
A new kernel build: 2.6.30-final (Yes, again!)
13Yep! 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.
New kernel build release for Debian/Ubuntu: 2.6.30-flyleaf
1Well, as the before release this would be the same think, just it has some updates and also the base its a newer version of kernel. The base is 2.6.30-rc8, with git6 patch, Acer fan module patch, coretemp patch for the new Intel Atom (of course this new build has full Acer Aspire One support). Also I have re-included the webcam modules, as in the previous release I totally forgot about them.
Acer Aspire One kernel release 2.6.30-rc7
0I didn’t write here for a long time, but I’ve been working to fix some issues in the kernel for Aspire One related to the CPU temperature sensor, Acer fan control and even the Intel and Wifi drivers. At the moment, the kernel does everything, lm-sensors can see the CPU and temperature, acerhdf is integrated into the kernel and it works perfectly, the ath5k wifi drivers work out of the box including the wifi LED. The Intel video drivers work, but still there are some errors coming from drm, but I do hope in the next RC release this will be fixed. This kernel release is mostly dedicated to Aspire One, a lot of drivers where removed and I’ve tried as much as possible to minimize the size of it and the maximize the speed of the kernel itself.
