Just the standard kernel output that appears as the kernel loads. Most people who have been using the CrOS kernel have been using uboot, so few people have noticed it. Unless you're comfortable editing the kernel source, there probably isn't much you can do, so you might as well just wait until I can take a closer look at what's going on.

This is great but I am not sure what exactly you did. This is the android kernel, not the chromium one right? Is it a patched version of lilstevie's or is a new build, possibly based of ICS?

simply the latest Asus TF kernel.

Awesome. I dont mean to be critical and I think all progress is great but why the work on the android kernel and not on the chrome one?

Has anyone got a compiled kernel and initrd.img with the sound-fix patch by rdnetto as described in the dev thread?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22740699&postcount=103

I haven't set up the kernel compile yet and the OP doesn't seem to have been updated since Nov 2011. Or have I missed somewhere where kernel updates are posted?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ke1evraTi:
Since the kernel is still experimental you have to compile it on your own. Its not very difficult but may take a while if done on the TF.

Jhinta's new kernel is seperate and looks very promising but still has some bugs such as sound not working. It also seems to not be compatible with 12.04 which brings fixes such as proper battery output.

MAC address of wlan0

This is using lilstevie's original 2.6.34.4 kernel with the loopmount method on a SBKv2 device and it is working nicely. However, I've noticed that the MAC address of my wifi interface (wlan0) differs between Ubuntu and Android. The wifi works fine under Ubuntu but the problem is that at work devices need to be registered by MAC for wifi and I can only register one MAC address per device, so at the moment I can't use wifi at work under Ubuntu.

I've tried the usual way of spoofing a MAC:

# ifconfig wlan0 hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

Also tried doing it in NetworkManager which has a field for entering the MAC.

Neither option seems to have an effect and the MAC address is not changed. Any ideas?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilstevie:
yeah enter your mac address into /lib/firmware/nvram.txt and reload the wifi module (or reboot) the issue is when in android a service pokes the wifiaddr into the wifi chips ram, but in this environment it uses the one burned into hardware
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrohwer:
I assume it is the commented out entry in /lib/firmware/nvram.txt:

#macaddr= ...

No joy here. When entering a MAC address there and uncommenting, it is not applied, either when unloading and reloading the kernel module, or when rebooting.

Incidentally:

1. After unloading and reloading the kernel module, the interface appears as eth0 in ifconfig, not wlan0. It does however still connect.

2. The file /lib/firmware/nvram.txt has DOS line endings, I changed these to UNIX line endings but it had no effect.

3. There is a file with virtually identical content, /lib/firmware/brcm/bcm4329-fullmac-4.txt. Specifying the MAC address in that file also has no effect.

Can this actually be done?

---------- Post added at 03:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------

OK to answer my own post, I sorted it out. I took a look at the file /data/misc/wifi/nvram.txt under Android. Turns out the file was missing a switch:

nvram_override=1

Once this line is included in /lib/firmware/nvram.txt, the MAC address gets applied :)

Can't seem to get this to work. I compiled the kernel (2.36.6.4) with rdnetto's patch (using codesourcery cross compiler) and the default tf101_gnulinux_defconfig. The compile went without errors, and the kernel boots fine. But in Ubuntu there is still no sound form the speakers.

dmesg keeps giving me message like:

[ 1032.363869] HEADSET: No headset plug-in
[ 1032.363882] Headset disconnected, enable internal Mic(DMIC)

syslog has similar entries

Apr 26 16:31:45 jr-tf101 kernel: [ 1032.653947] HEADSET: No headset plug-in
Apr 26 16:31:45 jr-tf101 kernel: [ 1032.653962] Headset disconnected, enable internal Mic(DMIC)

Interestingly the internal mic DOES work, and I can record my voice with Sound Recorder. Only the playback doesn't work. Have tried all the sound settings in gnome-control-center. It picks up the tegra device but when I try to test the speakers, nothing.

Any pointers? I'd really like to get this working, means I could use my TF as a replacement laptop when travelling....

Hey jozka

Can you post a zip of your initrd separately, i.e. not compiled into the kernel? I would like to change the mount point for the /dev/mmcblk-p7 partition. I find that when I mount it to /media it interferes with the mounting of other devices to the /media directory by the hal daemon (e.g. new SD card or USB stick plugged in).

(I'm running successfully on a SBKv2 device with loopmounted rootfs and the loop is setup in the initrd, but that is on a 2.6.36 kernel w/o HW accel. I'd like to try the same setup with the new 3.1.10 kernel. Or can you use the same initrd as for 2.6.36 kernel?)

I installed Ubuntu on my Transformer previously, problem-free, but had to send my unit in for RMA. Before I sent it, I reflashed the partitions back to stock.

When it returned (same SBK v1 unit), I tried to flash a different ROM. OLiFE worked fine, until the script fell back to the main menu about mid-flash, rendering my Transformer unusable. I put the tablet back in APX mode and tried again, with OLiFE Prime, which worked without a hitch. :D

I flashed CWM via OLiFE and updated to the ROM I tried originally. I put my Transformer in APX mode again and let the script run. Whatever it did, I still have CWM on my tablet and can't access Ubuntu.

For there I am going to restart to install Ubunut, so can I connect the dock at this point to use it as the KB?

I then want to inject the BT, do I need to do anything for Wifi?

So what do I have at that point, how can switch between Android and Ubuntu? Do I still have Revolver but my user data is gone (no big deal just wondering)?

If I want to go back to pure Android how do I get my system back to stock?

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.

EDIT: Ok so I have done the install. I understand now that Prime is the included ROM. I tried to backup my Revolver ROM but like someone upthread, I got a "read failed" so I went ahead with Prime. I got Ubunutu set up. I have not upgraded to 12.04 yet and I was to load the new kernel but I need to do some research into how to load the new Tegra drivers and the modules from the wiki.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Character Zero:
From what I understand the current dualboot option puts the ubuntu kernel in the recovery partition (that's why the power+vol up then vol_down gets you into ubuntu) so I wonder if that is possible. I thought I have read earlier in the thread using CWM to flash either then Android kernel (boot.img) or Ubuntu kernel (boot.img) to switch between them. Is this still an option, it would make updating the ubuntu kernel much easier, and still allow for use of CWM if something got messed up (reload a different Ubuntu Kernel, still able to get into Android with its kernel load)? Or was that a configuration that even worked?
