Bluetooth not working after kernel update
 

Okay, I installed the slackware 10.2 with pretty default settings (sata.i 2.4 kernel) and then in KDE downloaded the newest kernel (2.6.15) and compiled it. I enabled Bluetooth from the kernel but my keyboard and mouse aren't working at all once I boot to the new kernel.

All I did was compile the new kernel with some bluetooth modules (I did make modules_install). Is there anything else I need to do to enable my bluetooth. I got my keyboard working in Gentoo but for example, in slack there isn't /etc/bluetooh folder at all.

Any help would be appreciated.

You need to get bluez-utils, and bluez-libs at the very least.
They can be found here:

Sure, but shouldn't them be already there as my mouse/keyboard worked after / during installation with the default 2.4 kernel . I just updated my kernel and now it isn't working...

I'd say it's that the bluetooth modules need to be started at boot time, right?

Zmyrgel,
Sorry, missed where you said it was working with the stock kernel.

Here's what I have in my .config, if it help's:

hope this helps

Ok, I got it to work... I had missed one thing in my kernel update.... though now my internet isn't working.

Temporary failure in name resolution and when I shutdown the system I get told that "dhcpcd not running" which should run as it gets my internet settings from ISP, right?

I have other things but those are kinda minor, configuring ALSA and such. Could you enlighten me about the internet issue, so I can continue my journey with the slacker.

Myself I have a LAN with static ip's behind a router so I don't use dhcp. I believe your problem is with DNS though.

fire up a terminal, and as root:
fill in the appropriate info, and then you should have the proper dns ip info in your /etc/resolv.conf

hope this help's

The think is that my /etc/resolv.conf looks fine:
I don't think there should be anything more in there.

and my /etc/dhcpc folders info looks good also. There was ... dhcpcd-eth0.info file or similar which contained the info of my ISP but it doesn't seem to use it properly. When I had similar problems with gentoo it got connected by typing "dhcpcd -B" but that isn't the case now.

I'll make a new thread about this to get appropriate attention... after I browse a bit to see if it solves my problem.

Hi Zmyrgel,

Just out of curiousity and for future reference - which part/module/setting did you miss during your kernel update, and how did you find it?

(Makes it easier for other people with similar problem to trouble-shoot when they search and find this thread as reference)

Under USB-Support I changed OHCI-HCD (intel) to the basic version as I'm not using any intel chipsets. Also I was missing few modules in Bluetooth category. I installed them all and it started to work.

Okay, I got my network to work.... and the same time I broke my X. Solve one, generate another. My network error was again related to kernel. I needed to enable from kernel: Devices->Network->Ethernet(10-100)->Reverse engineered nForce Ethernet support.

My X broke as I updated my nvidia drivers but should be an easy fix.

On to solve the problems. Thank you for your help.
