Now Kernel 2.6.26 has finally entered sidux officially, but there are a few changes to take care of.
- lirc has been split out to an external package, due to requirements for Debian lenny, its naming is still very unfortunate and will be changed in the future.
Code:
apt-get install lirc-modules-modules-2.6-sidux-686
# or
apt-get install lirc-modules-modules-2.6-sidux-amd64
(this will become "lirc-modules-2.6-sidux-*" soon)
- rt2500usb had to be disabled temporarily as it crashed kernel 2.6.26, this issue is being debugged (upstream and for sidux) - but given that rt2500usb didn't work properly with previous kernels, this hasn't been identified as a blocker
EDIT:solved and enabled again.
- 2.6.26 kernels still crash as guests in virtualbox, this issue is still under investigation.
Kernel 2.6.25 will be maintained for a little longer (pending grave issues for another 1-2 weeks), but the default and meta packages have been moved to 2.6.26. |

Just tried 2.6.26-0.slh.5-sidux-686 on my 32bit ex-Kanotix system.
Seems to work fine with the 173.14.09 Nvidia driver (I'll try the
others later).
Previously, any combination of Nvidia driver and any 2.6.25 kernel
always caused X to crash (including the legacy drivers). |

Hello,
I cannot confirm that. My installation with the latest 2.6.25 kernel and 64 bit works fine with the latest Nvidia driver.
3D apps like blender or secondlife have a very good performance. |

| Please do no de-generate this announcement to a thread about binary-only 3rd party graphic drivers. I am sure slh really could not care less about such things. Start another thread for this talk please. |

No problems here so far with new kernel and the 173.14.09 Nvidia driver but I do get an error message I never had before during the boot process.
"waiting for /dev to be fully populated Error Driver pcspkr is already registered"
It is a K8 triton mobo GA-K8NF-9-RH |

if you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find it - maybe you can read ... the sidux manual

Hallo,
auch bei mir "Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting... "
Gravierender ist für mich allerdings dass mein TV-Empfang weg ist. Selbst ohne graphische Oberfläche unter fbtv ist kein Empfang mehr möglich. Mit 2.6.25 lief das bisher einwandrei.
Ich habe eine Karte mit saa7134 die ich bisher mit folgenden Parametern betrieb:
options saa7134 card=48 tuner=23 video_nr=0 vbi_nr=0 radio_nr=0
install saa7134 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install saa7134; /sbin/modprobe saa7134_alsa
options saa7134-alsa index=1
Was mir bei 2.6.26 in diesem Bereich erstmal auffällt ist dass da jetzt mehrere tuner-module herumtummeln (tuner_type, tuner-simple).
Im Moment scheint mir (per dmesg) dass sich der tuner_simple den Empfangsteil mit der Einstellung tuner=38 gekrallt hat und meine Original-Einstellungen so nicht mehr funktionieren bzw. verwendet werden.
Offensichtlich hat sich da einiges geändert mal sehen ob ich Infos dazu finde.
Grüße
Reiner Schmidt

How exciting! The wlan led of my ThinkPad T61 works with 2.6.26! Annoying, unfamiliar blinking!  |

| Just another positive feedback. Except for the error message "pcspkr ..." the new kernel is so far doing fine on my ThinkPad R61. No problem with Nvidia. The blinking WLAN-LED I take as a bonus.
