[gentoo-user] Problem on Hardware Update

[gentoo-user] Problem on Hardware Update

[João Matos]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 743 bytes --]

Dear list,

I upgrade my mobo/CPU/mems. They're completely different (Intel to AMD).

I built the kernel myself, and, as soon as I intended to use the new
hardware, I compilled it changing "Processor type" and enable the SATA
driver. The sistem seemed to boot properly (all boot messagens ok, all
services started - except X), but it freezes after boot.

I'm not sure, but It seems my usb keyboard is not recognized. I tried to
solve it using "make localmodconfig", but it didn't work.

any suggestions?

I was think on rebuild my system changing the -march to the new processor.
But I'm not sure is it will solve my problems.

Do you have both OHCI and UHCI drivers built in your kernel? I can never
remember which one Intel uses, but AMD chipsets generally use the other
one.

Is networking working? If so, can you SSH in to fix the kernel? If not,
you'll need to boot from a live CD to do it.

In either case check the logs to find out if it has recorded an error or 
warning.  Also look at dmesg if you can ssh into it.

It didn't work. But I have a new erro message:

device descriptor read/64 error 110
hub 1-1:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 6

The only distro I could boot was systemrescueCD, using alternative kernel.
Can't boot Ubuntu. It also doesn't recognize the keyboard.

A new error message implies a new error.

Have you compared the output from lsusb and lspci -k with System Rescue
Cd and Gentoo?

OK, look at the sysrescuecd kernel driver and enable the same in your gentoo 
kernel.

I've updated the kernel (3.7.4 to 3.14.4), and the USB problem was solved,
I don't know why. :)

Now I'm having some other issues, but I've decide recompile the whole
system before solving them. At least I'm already using my gentoo.

  I would boot with install ISO or rescueCD, chroot, make the necessary
changes and then "emerge system" and "emerge world".  The necessary
changes are...

1) CFLAGS.  I use...
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -mfpmath=sse -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fno-unwind-tables -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

2) Check your USE flags (in both make.conf and package.use).  I have an
older Dell with an Intel.  I have "mmx mmxext sse sse2 sse3 ssse3" USE
flags.  AMD cpus benefit from "3dnow 3dnowext" and possibly other AMD-
specific flags.

I'm already doing it... I hope I can access my GUI after it.

I'm using

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -mprefer-avx128 -mvzeroupper -pipe"

that I took from http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Safe_CFLAGS#FX-XXXX . But
I'll take a look on these ones.
