Just to double check everything, I re-downloaded, re-checked the MD5 and re-installed. Exactly the same results. No internet or sound on boot.

Got everything working again but no sound icon in taskbar.Watching a fullscreen Youtube video right now.No problem.

For some reason Lucid 525 has sound problems with these new kernels.Playdayz built a test release with EZ Woof and had sound problems.I manually changed the kernel,modules .etc. in 525 and had, you guessed it, sound problems. Smile

Isn't experimenting with new kernels fun..... Laughing

EDIT: Sound icon in taskbar came back when I rebooted.

Hi James C thank you for testing again.

I guess something must have gone wrong in 003 so i wanted to change as little as possible for this time - this upload is a standard 525 with nothing stripped out.
Only changes are made with EZ-woof - using Pemasu's 2.6.38.4 lupe-19 kernel, alsa mod, different theme and wallpaper.

I'm currently compiling a tweaked 2.6.38.5 with BFS and some other tweaks, would you like me to upload it? I'm trying to make a 5.2.5 with this kernel so I can replace my current OS (my own spup remix, Teh Gray Puppy) with it, since Lupu's 2.6.33 is too old for my netbook.

This kernel has BFS, latest Aufs, a limit of 3 terminals instead of 8 (saves some memory), a scheduler tweak taken from -ck3 and tons of drivers. It also has Squashfs support for both LZO and XZ, which I'm going to try out now - I'm going to build my tweaked 5.2.5 with XZ compression. Cool

Stu I am back and it behaved as the 526 did yesterday in that sound was loud as should be 100% and xorg did not start on its own and xwin did not start either. Apart from that it appears to behave like what pemasu has on his experiments too.

On my gear it refuse to show temperature sensor. I maybe should activate it in Terminal and I do have that in Notes somewhere but I am lazy just now.

What else should I test on it? oops I am using Seaside's SFS-Exec now I test if it allow me to uninstall the Firefox I loaded Yes looks normal to me which it did not in latest Wary but that one is still highly experimental.

So wish I knew more on how to help you solve this thing with xorg and xwin not starting normally.

Maybe Acer D250 is a very unusual beast. it uses Intel 945 chips and them are known to be problematic are they not. Famous even Smile

Iguleder I don't mind trying it out on my Acer Netbook too. Smile

Kernel panic Laughing

Recompiling my kernel, this time with some stuff added. I think I know what causes this problem and I really hope this isn't the lovely BFS.

By the way, I'm at ~75% of my T2 build, if everything goes according to plan A, I'll build a tpup with a full Bluetooth stack, Wicd and this kernel.

I need to test it further then using those pets to see if it does show temperature. I remember that Acer D255 is different. It uses the N470 and not N270 as my current machine use. D255 did show temperature out of the box was high from start. some 40 Celcius going up to 58 or so and setting on a noisy fan and then fan and fan and fan until down to 48 Celcius or so, I don't remember but it was so noisy that I promised to only boot it up if this machine break it's hdd or so. I hate noise.

But that machine did show thermal going up and down while this D250 has it set on 28 and it stay there regardless of fan starts or not. So it can not show the correct therm at all.
