linux 2.5.16 and VIA Chipset

[mikeH]

I have the VIA kt266 chipset, with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX)
it refuses to boot, hanging just before you'd expect to see the IDE
boot messages come up.

lcpsi output :

00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8367 [KT266]

Is there any other info from my system that would help track down why?

Thanks,

Apologies, on closer examination of the 2.4 and 2.5 dmesg, it hangs just 
before the
ACPI is going to come up. However, there is no option for it in make 
menuconfig, and enabling it in .config breaks the compile.

What do you mean there is no config option in menuconfig?!? I just checked 
and there is "General options" ---> "ACPI Support" ---> "[ ] ACPI Support".

Best regards,

There are two options that are required and it might be that one of them
is missing:

1. "Code maturity level options" -> "Prompt for development and/or
                                     incomplete code/drivers"
2. "General setup" -> "Power Management support"

Most likely the first one is the missing option (don't expect that the
average user has activated CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL).

Re: linux 2.5.16 and VIA Chipset

[mikeH]

Yeah, I have both these options enabled, but the config option is not 
appearing (and I have had it running fine in the 2.4 series ;).
The only mention of ACPI in .config is

# ACPI Support
#
#CONFIG_ACPI is not set

otherwise there is no mention. When I put that to


# ACPI Support
#
CONFIG_ACPI=y

make dep && make bzImage
results in

I havent done anything like copying the old .config from my 2.4 series 
kernel, this was a clean
tar jxvf linux-2.5.16.tar.bz2 && cd linux-2.5.16 && make menuconfig

Have I missed a step thats been introduced in the 2.5 series? I've only 
run 2.2 and 2.4 before, but I was hoping 2.5 might have fixed some of 
the VIA issues.

Tried that, still nothing. I'll try downloading the patch and patching 
it against 2.4.18.

Huh? There are no patches to go from 2.4.18 to 2.5.anything AFAIK.

I just downloaded linux-2.5.16.tar.bz2 from kernel.org, did tar xvjf, cd, 
make mrproper, make menuconfig, enabled config experimental, and I get the 
ACPI option so something is wrong on your end... This is on ia32 arch.

Which architecture are you using?

Not true in 2.5.x. ACPI is not dependent on config experimental. Just checked.

>2. "General setup" -> "Power Management support"

Not true in 2.5.x. Power management is not a prerequisite for ACPI in 
2.5.x. You notice this already by the fact that ACPI is not under the power 
management menu any more...

aha, now I see! Just got so used to the options being in the same 
place... couldn't see for looking!

Now to see if that fixes the boot problem... :)
