Thank you for the 3.0.4. Kernel, but it does not work for my wireless:
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) [168c:002b] (rev 01)

The module ath9k works in other Puppys (kernel 2.6.xx) and in Fatdog64 (kernel 3.0.3).

Perhaps your kernel configuration does not include
config ATH9K_PCI
bool "Atheros ath9k PCI/PCIe bus support"
depends on ATH9K && PCI
---help---
This option enables the PCI bus support in ath9k.
Say Y, if you have a compatible PCI/PCIe wireless card.

Nothing, i can't open desktop, blank screen, no right resolution and refresh:

no changes also with install older versions of xorg, and also vesa not function.
No problems with original 528 and older versions.

Ok, the problem is the video driver for intel gma (atom 330).

Sszindian: hi, I want to know if you have any other version puppy on your hdd? or other pupsave file ? if Kernel Panic happens on reboot, I think the kernel load wrong modules in "pupsave" file. so, I advise that you shold clean your hdd.
or wrong "initrd.gz" file has been loaded after reboot.

I believe you are right! Today I loaded 528 (304 Kernel) onto a machine that only had windows xp... It created a savefile and on reboot started right up like it should. I'm sure the no-boot problem is due to having several other Puppy savefiles on the same HDD on my other box!

I would like to suggest (if possible) instead of using the name "initrd.gz" maybe use unique names (for different versions) like "initrd-528-304.gz"... like I say, don't know if this is possible but I will bet it would solve a whole bunch of problems for users!

wuxiandianzi:

Just a quick report to let you know how the 528 with 3.0.4 Kernel works with an older laptop:

IBM T22 Thinkpad (Notebook)
512 RAM

Program loads, creates a savefile (BTW with 'Other' savefiles on the HDD - 214 puppy, 520 puppy, Cloud puppy, and a version of Windows XP - which I don't use ever).

Everything works just fine.... even installed Iron 13-800 as the default browser and for an old box, it's pretty darn fast!

Hi wuxiandianzi

Running lupu_528_k3.0.7_SMP(cpu) update:20111021 now
and all seems good.

Running on 8/9yr old Acer Laptop TravelMate 243LC.
256mb ram. 2.5Ghz Celeron Proc. 800mb swap partition.
Manual frugal to sda1 ext3.

Only minor issue - battery not recogised. (was it ok in k3.0.4)?
must check

Guessing that is new kernel stuff (not a major problem)

Fantastic puppy - thanks for making this available for us.

Very best regards - Ray
