NixOS #128 (2 Apr)
By Cillian de Róiste
generate-config.pl fails with certain (string?) extraConfig parameters
R600 and newer ATI cards need to load extra firmware for the free radeon driver to work correctly: http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonBuildHowTo#Missingfirmware
generate-config.pl complains when I add the required config to extraConfig:
EXTRA_FIRMWARE radeon/R600_rlc.bin
EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR /firmware/kernelGOT: # configuration written to .config GOT: # option not set correctly: EXTRA_FIRMWARE "radeon/R600_rlc.bin" radeon/R600_rlc.bin builder for `/nix/store/fnyabiypgy376gwps844ca776zmd0z39-linux-2.6.38_airlied.drv' failed with exit code 255 cannot build derivation `/nix/store/xa30h4n3b05p4jfi51qniay8irqfjdqh-system.drv': 1 dependencies couldn't be built error: build of `/nix/store/xa30h4n3b05p4jfi51qniay8irqfjdqh-system.drv' failed
If I understand correctly this means that it fails because "radeon/R600rlc.bin" doesn't match radeon/R600rlc.bin.
When I comment out this section of generate-config.pl the kernel compiles and accepts this configuration correctly:
$ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep EXTRA_FIR
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon/R600_rlc.bin"
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/firmware/kernel"
