I could compile without any patches, too. But I couldn't test my kernel, yet. So I'm not 100% sure if it's absolutely alright.

2.6.37 installed using instructions on first post and now I have a flashing green light that resembles a heartbeat! It's scaring me ;-)
vielen Dank gorgone! Why don't you put a paypal donate on your homepage?

Hi,


@ Gorgone

Hab ich was vepaßt??? Hast Du eine neuen Kernel für das Dockstar veröffentlicht ? Weil im ersten Post steht immernoch was von 2.6.35.4 und nicht 2.6.37?

*Edit*

OK, hab den Post mit dem Link gefunden. Aber es wär durchaus Sinnvoll, den ersten Post des Beitrags zu aktualisieren...

Grüße

Do i have missed something? Did you release your ne Kernel for Dockstar? Because in the first post of this thread the kernel version is 2.6.35.4 and not 2.6.37?

*edit*

Ok, hve found the post with the link. But i think it will be good, to update the first post in thois thread...

Greetings

Hi,

the path for the ornage led has been changed from

/sys/class/leds/dockstar\:orange\:misc (old)

to

/sys/class/leds/dockstar\:orange\:health (new)

So if you disable the orange heartbeat flashing via rc.local you have to change the line for the ornage led to:

echo none       > /sys/class/leds/dockstar\:orange\:health/trigger

Greetings

Really? I found it still in /sys/class/leds/dockstar:orange:misc while booting from the vanilla kernel.

Just had a look and it seems that the compcache kernel patch is already included in kernel 2.6.37 sources. Anyone already using that kernel with compcache?

How to enable? I can give it a test...

Re: new kernel package ready to use
January 20, 2011 07:27AM
I'd say try what's described here:

http://code.google.com/p/compcache/wiki/CompilingAndUsingNew

But as I didn't test the procedure myself yet, I'm not sure if there are problems or not and how the details will look like. If you have the time, good luck and please report back with your findings. ;-)
Re: new kernel package ready to use
January 20, 2011 08:16AM
@ingmar_k, already tried, I don't think procedures in this link are applicable to 2.6.37. Maybe what we need is updated initramfs-tools...

OK, so it looks like it's no longer officially called compcache, but is now ZRAM and is indeed included in kernels >=2.636, AFAIK.

The readme provided here could give some more insight:

https://compcache.googlecode.com/hg/README

Had no real time to fully read it, but it seems to differ from the version on the googlecode site. I might be wrong, though. Unfortunately I simply don't have the time ATM for a more detailed look. ;-)

Have fun!
Re: new kernel package ready to use
January 20, 2011 05:57PM
May need CONFIG_ZRAM=m and CONFIG_ZRAM_STATS=y in kernel configuration and re-compile, I will take a look later today...
Re: new kernel package ready to use
January 20, 2011 07:17PM
my new kernel supports zram and my compcache package is ready to install (precompiled)
Re: new kernel package ready to use
January 20, 2011 10:02PM
compcache package is not required for kernel 2.6.37, just need to have CONFIG_ZRAM=m in .config

Below are steps required to create the compressed RAM based block device and use it as swap space:
root@debian:~# modprobe zram
root@debian:~# ls -l /dev/zram*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 0 Jan 21 11:42 /dev/zram0
root@debian:~# cat /sys/block/zram0/disksize
0
# Create a 40MB RAM disk
root@debian:~# echo 41943040 > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
root@debian:~# mkswap /dev/zram0
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 40956 KiB
no label, UUID=ad273409-8cc1-4679-aae3-3a9d716958b8
root@debian:~# swapon /dev/zram0
root@debian:~# swapon -s
Filename                                Type            Size    Used    Priority
/dev/sda2                               partition       506040  0       -1
/dev/zram0                              partition       40956   0       -2

Very nice! Thank you both for the tips and for reporting back with all the needed info. As soon as I have the time I will setup a new emdebian install on my dockstar, use my new small kernel and try ZRAM. Great! Can't wait until I finally have the time. Keep up the good work guys.

Seems no effect, the green light still on after "halt"...

Re: new kernel package ready to use

Is it inside the curly bracket?
log_action_msg "Will now halt"
halt -d -f $netdown $poweroff $hddown
echo none > /sys/class/leds/dockstar\:green\:health/trigger
}
Re: new kernel package ready to use
January 23, 2011 07:20PM
Yes...

        log_action_msg "Will now halt"
        halt -d -f $netdown $poweroff $hddown
        echo none > /sys/class/leds/dockstar:green:health/trigger
}

Looks to me the "halt" command is not execute /etc/init.d/halt, cannot see the message "Will now halt", instead:

root@debian:/etc# halt

Broadcast message from root@debian (pts/0) (Mon Jan 24 09:24:34 2011):

The system is going down for system halt NOW!
