New kernel problems

New kernel problems

[Jayson Smith]

Hi,

     Long time off this list. Anyway, I need to upgrade my kernel, mine's 
way out of date. I'm using Gentoo, and downloaded the Gentoo 2.6.25-R8 
Kernel sources. I can't get Speakup to install into that directory. If I use 
the CVS checkout script, a lot of the patching hunks fail. There's a Portage 
package for Speakup which is masked, but I grabbed it anyway. It compiles, 
then gives an access violation. So, how do I get Speakup patched into this 
kernel?
Thanks!
Jayson

Hi Jason,

First off, do not bother with cvs speakup.  All of the work is going on
in a git repository.

On gentoo, the first thing you have to do is emerge, compile, configure
and install gentoo-sources-2.6.25 or later.  Make sure that the
/usr/src/linux symlink points to the correct kernel.

Then, emerge speakup, and set it up to load the module automatically on
boot for your synthesizer and you should be ready to go.

I'm not sure about the access violation you got, without seeing what was
going on at the time.

If you have any questions, feel free to let me know.

Thanks,

William

Hi,

     Okay, so I need to configure and install the new kernel first? Does 
that mean I need to reboot, and will be without console speech?
Thanks.

Hi Jason,

make sure that "symlink" is in your use flags when you emerge the
kernel.  That will make sure that /usr/src/linux points to the new
kernel.

Then, configure and install the kernel.

After that, emerge speakup then set up the boot system to load the
module for your synthesizer, then reboot.

At that point you should have speech.

Thanks,

William

Re: New kernel problems

[Jayson Smith]

Hi,

     I'm compiling the kernel now. Let me get this right. I need to also 
install the kernel, before emerging Speakup?
I have a kernel.sh script I used to use to install kernels once compiled. It 
goes like this:

#!/bin/bash
cd /usr/src/linux
echo Moving the system map
mv System.map /boot/System.map-2.6
cd arch/i386/boot
echo moving the kernel
mv bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6
cd ~
echo Running Lilo
lilo
echo Done.

Does this still work? This was a few years ago. Do I need to do this before 
emerging speakup? Also, it's been a while, what's the kernel boot command to 
get Speakup going again? Is it speakup synth=dectlk? I'm using a Dectalk 
Express.
Thanks again.
Jayson

Hi Jason,

Correct, the kernel needs to be installed before emerging speakup.

I do not have a special script that I use to install kernels.  If you
have sys-apps/debianutils installed, it has a script that will do this.
I do this to compile and install a kernel:

cd /usr/src/linux
# configure the kernel
make # this compiles the kernel after configuring it
make modules_install install

Then you have to edit the /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 file and
put in there a line for the speakup module you want to load.

Once that is done, you should be up and running on your next reboot.

Jason,

I am making a slight change to what I said in the previous message.


I do this to compile and install a kernel:
 
cd /usr/src/linux
# configure the kernel
make # this compiles the kernel after configuring it
make modules_install install
 emerge speakup

Everything else is the way I described it below.

Thanks,

William

Re: New kernel problems

[Jayson Smith]

Okay... This has gone from a simple kernel upgrade to a ridiculous fiasco, 
all to get a new kernel running! This really belongs on the Gentoo list, but 
I'm just frustrated and need answers.

Okay, so it seems I didn't have module-init-tools installed. 
Module-init-tools requires, among other things, coreutils. Coreutils comes 
down in a format which Portage doesn't recognize. Upgrade Portage, right? 
Well, not quite that easy. It seems my current Portage is blocking a newer 
version of Bash which the new Portage wants. So, I'm at a standstill, where 
I can't upgrade Portage because of a block with my current Portage, which I 
won't even be using any more by the time the blocked package will be 
installed! Sheesh! Help!
Jayson

Re: New kernel problems

[John covici]

OK, I guess you have not updated gentoo for a long time, either.  I
had the same portage problem as you, but solved it by emerging it with
--nodeps  and then bash was able to be emerged by hand, then I re
emerged portage in case there were any dependencies and then I
continued with my --update --deep --with-bdeps=y which you should
certainly do at this point.  The newest portage (if you are running
unstable) automagically takes care of some of these blocks.

Hope this helps.
