The user isn't loading an agp chipset driver which causes the radeon drm to fail, we probably should fix the DRM to fail nicer but it has never been that high on the list as it is a system configuration issue... Well, yes, I have use agp=try_unsupported on Lilo kernel command line to get my chipset detected. The Intel 875 chipset isn't that new, but need this options to get agp detected. Therefore, it is my fault and really configuration issue. However, please fix this problem. That. BTW: The tricky thing was to realize that agp_try_unsupported=1 has to be used in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.x (note the different syntax to kernel commandline). I think it should be explained in the help in kernel sources (see the help option when "make menuconfig"). :( Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 941M agpgart: Trying generic Intel routines for device id: 2578 agpgart: AGP aperture is 128M @ 0xe8000000 [drm] AGP 0.99 Aperture @ 0xe8000000 128MB [drm] Initialized radeon 1.7.0 20020828 on minor 0 Did radeon ever get fixed up ? Any updates on this problem? Thanks. I cannot get to test it due to bug #9032 at the moment. Martin, can you update the status please. The bug mentioned in #5 seems to untested either. Can you try with newest kernel? Created attachment 15160 [details]

Attaching on Martin's behalf
Update from Martin: Hi, I am sorry for the delay. I tested with 2.6.24.2 and cannot reproduce the crash but still, I cannot easily remove the module. Please see attached dmesg, "ps -ef" and lsof output. Bugzilla currently gives me access denied, seems like some misconfiguration. I will try to attach the file later after it works again. Martin I had to force removal of intel_agp and then I have succeeded in removing agpgart without forcing. And, no kernel crash. Does not happen to me now, maybe because I use different part of the driver on the same hardware with recent 2.6 kernels? I use now 2.6.24.2, I do not force any extra kernel commandline flags and no extra module loading options. In syslog I see: Linux agpgart interface v0.102 agpgart: Detected an Intel 845G Chipset. agpgart: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0xe0000000 [drm] Setting GART location based on new memory map [drm] writeback test succeeded in 2 usecs seems dmesg output is missing. what`s the problem you currently have? you cannot remove agpart module? can you describe, what you tried to do and what fails ? mind the difference between "rmmod" and "modprobe -r" ! maybe it`s worth closing this ticket and creating a new one, since this is a different issue now and so there is a lot information inside, which isn`t relevant anymore. It seems like the driver finally worked for Martin. Closing the bug. |
