I've got a RPi with 2 SD cards and 2 USB Drives, one with Arch and another with Gentoo...
The gentoo system works great! ALSA support is fine, everythings working... Arch on the other hand will not play nicely with ALSA at all and gives a dreaded 'VCHIQ scheduling while atomic' error. I've updated the kernel to the newest, used the arch kernel config file and even recompiled using my gentoo setup config file but it still does the exact same thing, and I've really no idea why or how to fix it, does anyone have any ideas?
I've also got an old lego webcam (it's a logitech on the inside) which works fine on every PC I use it on (It used to work on a 500Mhz AMD back in the day) but trying it on arch using mplayer, motion, xawtv, qv4l2... None of them work with it, generally just slows the system down to a crawl and gives 'v4l2 timeout' messages all over the terminal, yet I've got another webcam with a PAC207 SOC and that works OK using mplayer, but as far as I know it's got a (slightly) higher resolution than the lego webcam and I can't think why it won't work!
(And a final problem which is more an RPi problem not arch... Last one I promise
) is booting the RPi.. I had an 8GB card which I've had to return due to it being flaky, so I'm left with a 2GB miniSD card and adapter (works fine) and an old 512MB toshiba SD card... The problem is with the toshiba SD card, when turning the RPi on there's possibly a 1 in 20 chance it will actually work, the other times either the green and red light stay on full brightness or the red light is on full brightness and the green led is only just lit slightly, and I have to remove the card and remove the power to the RPi for about 5 minutes before trying again. It's not a fast SD card and it works in every PC with an SD reader so the problem has to be with the RPi but I've really no clue as to why it happens at all :SAnyway, great work to everyone that's worked on this awesome board and software for it
