There's quite a few rough edges right now on the kernel, especially in various drivers that have knowledge of VM internals. So sound/video drivers may be a bit shaky for a while, but keep trying the rawhide kernels over the next few weeks, things should start to get better real soon, as the problems are known and understood upstream, it's just a matter of whacking enough of the bugs to get the fixes into shape for merging. > I suppose the root cause of the write protect readonly data needs to be > identified, of course I'd be happy to test any fixes of that. Yeah, Arjan pinned it down earlier to a fix that made made it into x86-64, but the same fix was needed in x86-32 too, but never made it in. I'll get that looked at tomorrow sometime. > I did notice several ATAPI resets causing a bit of delay during booting, > is that a side-effect of the kernel swapping between IDE and AHCI mode? > Is there any actual benefit to using AHCI? The resets sound a bit scary. Can you a file a bug in bugzilla please? Mention your hardware configuration there too (what drives you have connected). > I'll try the DVB-T cards back in again (they are the eventual *point* of > this box) and log any bugs with the SAA driver separately, See above re audio/video ;) > also it looks > like the xorg ati driver doesn't like my PCIe card, so I'll look into > that too. My PCIE card broke with modular X too, but it turned out that it was only working before by some miracle ;) I needed to edit my config file, and since then, has worked fine. system-config-display and the like still need some tweaks to cope with some of the more recent Xorg changes it seems.
