My patches to kernel 2.6.14-1.1653_FC4

My patches to kernel 2.6.14-1.1653_FC4

Apologise:
I apologise for my last post where I say that was everything alright, I was wrong.

That is a patch to allow:
DMA Support to Southbridge SiS 965 with driver SiS 5513.
NTFS Read support.
Make SiS190 Ethernet controller, [sis190], part of kernel, instead of a module.
Make SATASiS, [sata_sis], part of kernel, instead of a module.

Supported (tested) kernels:
2.6.14-1.1653_FC4

Approach:
Apply all patches that I published, and apply to that situation.

Remarks:
SiS 5513, try 3

1. Get and install the kernel source that applies:
2.6.14-1.1653_FC4

2. Create the patch files mentioned on the remarks.

3. Create the script to change the defaults values on kernel configuration, called [/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/make-config.sh]:

#!/bin/bash
# Please note that this script do NOT check if the [.config] was already patched
#
find /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/ -name "*.config" -print | while read FILE
do
mv ${FILE} ${FILE}.orig
cat ${FILE}.orig | sed -e "s/\(CONFIG_SCSI=\)./\1y/" -e "s/\(CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIS=\).*/\1y/" -e "s/\(CONFIG_SIS190=\)./\1y/" -e "s/\(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIS5513=\)./\1y/" -e "s/# CONFIG_NTFS_FS is not set/CONFIG_NTFS_FS=m\n# CONFIG_NTFS_DEBUG is not set\n# CONFIG_NTFS_RW is not set\n/" > ${FILE}
done

4. Create the kernel spec patch, called [/usr/src/redhat/SPEC/kernel-2.6.spec.2.6.14.1-1653.patch]:

SiS IDE Controller 5513 [sis5513] with Southbridge SiS 965 patch, try 3

SiS IDE Controller 5513 [sis5513] with Southbridge SiS 965 patch, try 3

Supported (tested) kernels:
2.6.14-1.1653_FC4
2.6.14-1.1656_FC4

Problem:
On original Fedora kernel there is no support to DMA on the SiS IDE controller model 5513 with Southbridge SiS model 965.

Bugzilla:
Number 176560 at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/

Inspired on:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/10/5/293

Approach:
Modify the module source to recognise the controller hardware.
In this case the south bridge controller: SiS965.

Remarks:
RPM kernel spec file part will be covered on the kernel specific part.

1. Get and install the kernel source that applies:

New kernel 2.6.14-1.1653_FC4 fixes all

Ok the new kernel 2.6.14-1.1653_FC4 fixes all problems regarding my hardware: it has boot support to SiS182, module [sata_sis], and also does not hang the system with the network driver, [sis190], and actualy works.

So there is no need, I hope, for any further kernel patch consearnig my hardware.

Now I will have time to post about other topics that I find interesting.

My patches to kernel 2.6.14-1.1644_FC4

My patches to kernel 2.6.14-1.1644_FC4

That is a patch to allow:

SiS SATA 0182 support at the startup of Fedora Core 4 (I do not have an IDE hard drive to boot my Linux)

Problem:
On original Fedora kernel the module [sata_sis] is not loaded at boot time.

Approach:
Apply all patches that I published, and apply to that situation.

Remarks:
sis190

1. Get and install the kernel source that applies:
2.6.14-1.1644_FC4

2. Apply the above mentioned patches on the Remarks:

3. Include the module [sata_sis] to the initial image:

mkinitrd -f --with=sata_sis --with=libata --with=scsi_mod /boot/initrd-2.6.14-1.1644_FC4.img 2.6.14-1.1644_FC4 # normal i686
#mkinitrd -f --with=sata_sis --with=libata --with=scsi_mod /boot/initrd-2.6.14-1.1644_FC4smp.img 2.6.14-1.1644_FC4smp # i686 SMP

SiS Ethernet 0190 [sis190] patch, try 2

SiS Ethernet 0190 [sis190] patch, try 2

Supported (tested) kernels:
2.6.14-1.1644_FC4

Problem:
On original Fedora kernel the module for SiS Ethernet controller model 190/191 hang the system.

Bugzilla:
bug 175807

0. You need to disable network and reboot, to avoid system hang:

chkconfig --level 345 network off

1. Get and install the kernel source that applies:

2. Unpack the kernel:

cd /usr/src/redhat/SPEC
rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec

2. Get the SiS driver for Linux
To take the driver by yourself go to SiS download center and chose:
Network Driver -> SiS190 Gigabit & SiS191 LAN -> Linux -> GO
Than proceed to the download of "SiS190 / SiS191 Gigabit LAN / LAN driver for Linux kernal 2.6.9 or later."

3. Extract the file [sis190.c] and put it on the right place:

tar -vxzf sis190191_linux.tar.gz # file from SiS
cp sis190_20041220/sis190.c /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.14/linux-2.6.14/drivers/net/

4. Prepare the kernel to compile the modules:

cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.14/linux-2.6.14/
cp /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/kernel-2.6.14-i686.config .config # for normal i686
# cp /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/kernel-2.6.14-i686-smp.config .config # for i686 SMP

5. Compile the modules and copy override the old driver

cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.14/linux-2.6.14/
make modules
cp /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.14/linux-2.6.14/drivers/net/sis190.ko /lib/modules/2.6.14-1.1644_FC4/kernel/drivers/net/sis190.ko # for normal i686
depmode -eaF /boot/System.map-2.6.14-1.1644_FC4 2.6.14-1.1644_FC4 # for normal i686
#cp /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.14/linux-2.6.14/drivers/net/sis190.ko /lib/modules/2.6.14-1.1644_FC4smp/kernel/drivers/net/sis190.ko # for i686 SMP
#depmode -eaF /boot/System.map-2.6.14-1.1644_FC4smp 2.6.14-1.1644_FC4smp # for i686 SMP

6. Reenable the network and reboot

chkconfig --level 345 network on
shutdown -r now
