The upcoming kernels from the MIB - Work in progress...

Post by NicCo »

Code: Select all

$  cat /etc/release && uname -a 

Mandriva Linux release 2010.2 (Official) for x86_64
Linux 3.4.2-nrj-desktop-1mib #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jun 16 18:58:27 CEST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I would like to inform you about the new upcoming kernels that you should find by MIB

The next kernel, on which I am working just now, and now already in testing, is the latest lts series 3.4.x

The most complicated thing is preparing and testing kernel that should install and work from Mandriva 2010 to 2012, now ROSA2012.1
For new kernel, we'll need to port also some new drivers, as old dont build with newer kernel, I means new nvidia, ati fglrx, broadcom, ...

then in order of decreasing priority
- kernel-rt 3.2.20 rt 32
- kernel-rt 3.4.2 rt 10
- kernel 3.3.8 (EOL) - there will be only one...
- kernel 3.1.10 (EOL) - there will be only one (this exists but with old nrj scheme)

of course we would skip some versions, otherwise we can't prepare them all,
so when 3.2.21 will be released, we should just skip it and take care of 3.2.22

Vi informo circa la stato di sviluppo sui kernel che troverete prossimamente su MIB

Il prossimo kernel, sul quale sto lavorando proprio adesso, e che è in testing, è l'ultimo lts della serie 3.4.x

La cosa più complicata è prepararli stando attenti che s'installino e funzionino bene da Mandriva 2010 a 2012, adesso anche su ROSA2012.1
Per i nuovi kernel dovremo portare anche alcuni nuovi drivers, in quanto i vecchi non buildano con i nuovi kernel, intendo nvidia, ati, broadcom

poi sarebbero da preparare, in ordine di priorità decrescente:
- kernel-rt 3.2.20 rt 32
- kernel-rt 3.4.2 rt 10
- kernel 3.3.8 (ce ne sarà solo uno, qui non c'e' rt)
- kernel 3.1.10 (con il nuovo schema nrj manca...)

naturalmente dovremmo andare a passi di due, altrimenti non si ce la fa...
se esce il 3.2.21 lo dovremmo saltarlo e occuparci dopo solo del 3.2.22


Ciao, NicCo

VMWare Workstation 8.0.x and VMWare Player 4.0.x work well with the latest Linux Kernel 3.4 using some patching

Here the source of patch for which we must thank to the author

The author suggests:
Remember that if you apply the patch you’ve to always start with clean module sources from 8.0.2 release. Also be careful that vmware, when uninstalled, doesn’t clean entirely it’s modules folder, so remember to do so before reinstalling it.
To make sure you started with a clean installation of VMWare, you must execute the 3 following steps

1> To remove your vmware product, use commands by root user

to remove player

Code: Select all

vmware-installer -u vmware-player
to remove workstation

Code: Select all

vmware-installer -u vmware-workstation
2> To clean modules folder, you must delete

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/vmware*
3> Install your vmware product, you can even install a different version than 8.0.2, read below


Using different versions of vmware 8.0
I modified the script to let it work also with newer versions 8.0.3/4.0.3 and 8.0.4/4.0.4,
so you don't need uninstalling 8.0.2 and reinstall the same clean 8.0.2 to update later...

Main path:
http://mib.pianetalinux.org/MIB/rosa201 ... els/vmware

Scripts with patches
4.0.2 / 8.0.2 > http://mib.pianetalinux.org/MIB/rosa201 ... 340.tar.gz
4.0.3 / 8.0.3 > http://mib.pianetalinux.org/MIB/rosa201 ... 340.tar.gz
4.0.4 / 8.0.4 > http://mib.pianetalinux.org/MIB/rosa201 ... 340.tar.gz

Download the compressed file, decompress and execute it using sh

Code: Select all

sh /the_path_where_is/patch-modules_3.4.0.sh
It will patch and recompile all VMWare modules and it should work again
