Re: [CentOS] mach64 driver, latest update in CentOS 6.8, symbol lookup error

2017-02-15 Thread Styma, Robert (Nokia - US)
Hi Andy,
 I tried it but got the same error.  I am pretty sure I got the correct copy of 
the driver as can be seen in the log.   Interesting note, when rhgb was on 
during boot, the word CentOS 6.8 at the bottom right of the screen was orange 
instead of white.  I wonder if the kernel was aware of there being a custom 
driver.

I do appreciate the help.   While I have never written drivers, my experience 
with .so files indicates that they added something to the file which invokes 
the driver to reference xf86LinearVidMem which was never added to that driver.

I had to move an older production server and it had the same problem when I

Thank you AndyBe.  
 I downloaded the files maintaining the directory structure.  I will take the 
backup machine and try this out.  Since the failed machine was my main machine, 
I will use another machine of the same type.  I have a few more things to clean 
up on the main machine.
Thank you again.

Re: [CentOS] mach64 driver, latest update in CentOS 6.8, symbol lookup error - workaround

2017-02-09 Thread Andreas Benzler
Another option is pick the recent source package and run it with "mock"
- The sanbox equiment is "the current release" and binaries in the new 
  rpm shoud be "fixed".

This can be be done every where virtual...

Hello AndyBe,
I download the ISO's and started the reinstall.  It went through all the 
normal setup up to outputting the message that it was starting Anaconda.   Then 
the screen went blank and stayed that way.  This is the same symptom as when it 
is trying to start.  While the driver was not rebuild I suspect something that 
accesses the driver added a call to xf86LinearVidMem which is not found in the 
symbol list for the driver.  

I am not sure where to go from here.  

I have a USB SVGA video adapter sitting in a drawer.  As much as I don't want 
to, I am thinking of plugging that in.  That so much a long shot.  It is 
designed as a second monitor.  I tried plugging a PCI video card (old) into the 
expansion slot, but the system ignored it.  Either the BIOS is not interested 
in other video cards or the slot is PCI-X only.

I would like to use this machine as my normal desktop as it has 2 processors 
each with 2 cores at 3.6GHz.  It has 4 Gig memory with 4 empty slots and I have 
a spare to use for parts.

[CentOS] mach64 driver, latest update in CentOS 6.8, symbol lookup error

2017-02-08 Thread Styma, Robert (Nokia - US)
I am loading a server from the CentOS 6.7 ISO and then upgrading.  After 
loading at release 6.7, the machine behaves normally.   After running yum 
update, the X server will not start.  Attempts to start it manually result in 
one of the following messages depending upon which OS is loaded.  I initially 
loaded it as 64 bit and when that did not work I tried the 32 bit version of 
the OS.  The graphics card is part of the motherboard so swapping it out is not 
an option.  This is a server and there is no AGP slot.  

X: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/mach64_drv.so: 
undefined symbol: xf86LinearVidMem
X: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/mach64_drv.so: undefined 
symbol: xf86LinearVidMem

I yum grouperased the X Window System and Desktop and then groupinstalled it 
with no luck.  I then changed my repos to point to the original ISO, but there 
were too many dependencies broken to get the system to groupinstall the X 
Window System and desktop.  I tried forcing in just the driver, but it fails 
with a message about the driver being at a different release than the X server. 
 

I am planning to reload the OS and use the Yum Exclude to keep the Xorg pieces. 
 Unfortunately, that will probably break a lot of dependencies.

I downloaded the source for the driver from Xorg, but need to find a lot more 
stuff to get it to compile, and even then, it is likely not to work.

Does anyone have any more things to try?
Yes I know the mach64 is an old video card, but that is what is there.

Since CentOS just follows the upstream source, I am not sure where to file a 
bug.  Not that that is likely to help.  I am batting 0 for 5 over the last 
decade and a half getting anything fixed.
