0000227: Kmod driver for AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)

This wireless device came with this hp pavilion g4 laptop and noticed
that elrepo has no driver for this. I know enough how to compile and
install modules but not how to build a kmod package. I got the drivers
from here: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k [^] and used
this snapshot compat-wireless-2012-01-19.tar.bz2 to build and load the
module which works fine on this laptop.

I was wondering if the folks at elrepo would consider building a kmod
package for this?

Thank you

0000205: Possibility of upgrade to 3.x kernel sources?

wondering when we would likely see the 3.x kernels available for kernel-ml on EL6

0000226: HP be2net driver request (Emulex chipset)

I recently installed HP NC552SFP dual 10Gbit network adapters in our server.
Currently Centos 6.1 ships with be2net driver 4.0.160r.
It would be nice to have an elrepo kABI-tracking kmod of a more recent driver.

0000229: kmod-hpsa-3.0.0-2 request + driver disks for EL6 x86_64

Unfortunately Centos6 does not support the HP p212, p410, p410i, p411, p711m, p712m and p812 Smart Array controllers (yet?). sigh :-(

I'm requesting a lot of features lately, I hope I'm not bothering you.

It would be great if this driver can be added to the elrepo. For OS installation purpose a driver disk is also needed. (like the aacraid driver disk which is working fine)

I'm currently using CentOS6.2 x86_64.

Thanks,

0000228: kmod-flashcache + flashcache utils request for el5/el6

I recently came across a block device to cache and accelerate a normal block device using a SSD based block device.

The source can be found at github
https://github.com/facebook/flashcache [^]

It would be very nice to have an elrepo flashcache kmod. Can this be build from the github source? And the flashcache utils?
I'm using Centos6.2 x86_64.

Thanks,

Maurits van de Lande

0000190: kmod-sata_via and new VIA® VX900 Chipset

0000224: Missing sound profiles for GF110 High Definition Audio Controller (GeForce 580) and No sound

Within Ubuntu 11.10 on this same system I have 5.1 surround sound working. It seems to me that there are missing profiles in the Sound preferences when I install kmod-alsa. The only option I can select is Digital Stereo (HDMI) output. This current profile is not producing any sound. I have contacted CentOS forums to assist me with this problem and they have directed me to create a bug report. The following link is the forum discussion regarding this issue.

0000218: kmod-sk98lin-10.91.2.3-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 causes kernel panic when booting

After upgrading from kmod-sk98lin 10.88.3.3-1 to 10.91.2.3-1, my system crashes (kernel panic) when I boot (just after udev initialization). See attached picture of my monitor showing the call trace.

0000216: asus-wmi.ko available in kernel-2.6.39 - possible to backport to CentOS 6.2?

The asus-wmi.ko module appears to deal with asus laptop's specific function keys that mange the hardware - in particular:
- turning their wifi hardware on/off
- turning their keyboard backlight down and up
- turning the synaptics pad off and on
- muting audio
- Audio down
- Audio up
The other function keys appear to function okay or have readily available hacks to allow operation.

0000219: drbd84 needs to be updated

The current DRBD 8.4 in elrepo is 8.4.0 which has significant major bugs. 8.4.1 was released a couple of weeks ago. Can the RPM be updated please?

0000221: WiFi connection doesn't always connect

Using CentOS 6.2 on a laptop and kmod-rt3070sta for the wifi driver. The problem is that it frequently does not connect to the network. Then either after relogin or reboot, it does connect without a problem and keeps working (speed and all is fine) and next time it's again a gamble whether it connects or not.

0000220: sk98lin-kmod-10.91.2.3-1.el6.elrepo.src.rpm (SRC) creates packages that requires ksym(napi_complete)

The sk98lin 10-91.2.3-1 EL6 source package still builds packages that require ksym(napi_complete).

I tried to build/install the package from the source to narrow down the kernel panic issue (see bug 218).

0000217: kmod-sk98lin-10.91.2.3-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 requires ksym(napi_complete)

(this bug has been first reported on #elrepo on freenode.net)

I'm on CentOS 6.2 (2.6.32-220.2.1.el6.x86_64) and my LAN adapter requires sk98lin. I'm currently using kmod-sk98lin-10.88.3.3-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 and I'm trying to update the drivers to 10.91.2.3-1. I followed the instructions from the release announcement from the mailing list (sudo yum --enablerepo elrepo update kmod-sk98lin) and I get:
Error: Package: kmod-sk98lin-10.91.2.3-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 (elrepo)

0000215: Install driver disk for Atheros Communications Inc. AR8151 v2.0 Gigabit Ethernet (rev c0) (atl1e)

The kmod-atl1e RPM works fine, but installing a system without network driver is a real problem.

I'm searching for a driver disk for the Atheros Communications Inc. AR8151 v2.0 Gigabit Ethernet (rev c0) (atl1e)

The driver disk is available for (citrix) xenserver, but does not work for CentOS 6.2 (EL6)

Thank you

0000201: Driver for gdth?

Hello,

This is in cross-reference to a forum thread located: https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=34308 [^]

I am interested in obtaining either a driver disk for the gdth RAID controller driver, or obtaining a module (gdth.ko) which has been compiled against kernel 2.6.32-71.el6.i686.

I am attempting to utilize an Intel RAID SRCS14L controller during the installation of CentOS 6 (using CentOS-6.0-i386-bin-DVD.iso).

It has been suggested elsewhere that I compile a kernel module, then recreate the initrd.img to be included on installation media.

I lack understand on kernel compilation, and, as detailed in the previously mentioned forum thread, compiling just the module eludes me.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt

0000204: RFE: via-cputemp

If possible backport this module to el5.
lm_sensors will need update too. lm_sensors(from elrepo) detects via C7 cpu, but there is no c7temp modules exists in upstream kernel or in kernel-ml.

PS: sorry for my english

0000210: drbd causes a kernel abort -> kerneloops report

Hello,

The following is probable something Linbit can/should fix. After the abrt the system keeps on running and the drbd disk does not appear to be dysfunctional. It's more that kernel oopses give me the creeps.

The /var/log/messages file displays the following

Dec 14 11:24:36 vmhost2b abrt: Kerneloops: Reported 1 kernel oopses to Abrt

0000206: Adaptec has no Linux Driver Disk for the 6000 series of RAID controllers for el6 and el5

It would be great if the driver disk can be added to ElRepo. I'm already very pleased with kmod-aacraid.
Thanks!

0000212: kernel-ml lost /proc/acpi/thermal_zone and /proc/acpi/processor compared to stock kernel

intel i5-2410M laptop, Scientific Linux 6.1 x86_64

under stock kernel-2.6.32-131.21.1.el6.x86_64 I have
/proc/acpi/thermal_zone
/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZS0
/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZS1
/proc/acpi/processor

under kernel-ml-2.6.39-4.1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
/proc/acpi/thermal_zone is missing
/proc/acpi/processor is missing

what's there are only /proc/acpi/ac_adapter, battery, button, event, wakeup which are working.

there are a few other directories also missing.

thanks.

0000213: Kmod alsa changed my X settings

I can't work sound on my computer so I installed kmod-alsa.
I thought alsa was causing the problem.

However, as kmod does, it somehow changed my settings with kernel and
I can't use my X server.
Currently installed
centos6, version 76
centos6 plus version 76
centos6 version 131 <-currently using.

X server used to be fine when I was using version 76 centos.
installing plus caused problem(same) but I worked it around by selecting nonplus at the grub level.
However I installed kmod and grub select doesn't work now...
