FWIW, I experienced the same kind of behaviour, linked to a broken wifi with 
rtl88x2bu DKMS driver.

Fixed now with: linux-image-6.1.0-16-amd64-unsigned 6.1.67-1

$ uname -a
Linux pcpapa 6.1.0-16-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.67-1 (2023-12-12)

Thanks a lot.

For the records, the video card is reported as "00:02.0 VGA compatible 
controller: Intel Corporation TigerLake-LP GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] (rev 01)", 
offering a HDMI port (on Dell HP ProBook laptop), on which I connect a screen 
via an HDMI to Display Port adapter.

I suspect some kind of weird corner case linked to that adapter, which is the 
"HDMI to DisplayPort Adapter - 4K Ready" from Cable Matters 
(https://www.cablematters.com/pc-825-139-hdmi-to-displayport-adapter-4k-ready.aspx
 )

Just my 2 more cents,

[Olivier Berger]

Hi.

I can confirm the reproduction of the same kind of crash, this time without 
wifi activated.

It seems to occur whenever I'm away from the machine for a while, probably 
linked to screen saving condition.

Hope this helps,

Bug#1036644: linux-image-6.1.0-9-amd64: System crashes. Netconsole reports CPUs not responding to MCE broadcast

[Olivier Berger]

Hi.

As a followup, I've been able to get another crash, this time when netconsole 
was on, and got a bunch of traces, in the attached logs.

Hope this helps identify the culprit... probably i915/drm ?

The title of the bug report should be changed, but I'm not sure how best to 
retitle.

Best regards,

Hi.

I'm afraid this would be much beyond my capacity, sorry.

The i915 hint is interesting.

Thanks.

I guess the USB drive has nothing to do with the issue, AFAIU. Actually,
I just wanted to be sure that netconsole was indeed capturing kernel
events, as suggested by a howto on remote debugging of kernel panics
with netconsole. And FYI, this is a USB key that embeds a SD card
reader, hence the 2 drives that popup... as for GPT, dunno, maybe a
formatting mistake.
In any case, the laptop crashed in the past whenever no such USB key was
being plugged.

Thats a LUKS partition being mounted after a while by me, for secrets
stored on the hard drive in a dedicated partition. As the laptop crashed
in the previous execution with the partition mounted, it explains the
FS recovery at mount time.

Nothing strange here either.

I booted with 'debug ignore_loglevel' as kernel arguments... maybe that
explains the occurence of such logs... dunno exactly if this is
worrysome.

I just updated the HP BIOS to the latest available the last day, but
crashes were occuring before too... maybe related, but nothing can be
updated more for the moment, at least from what the Windows HP Support
Assistant can show.

Thanks for your help.

Hi.

Just in order to provide a bit more useful hints, maybe, the latest version 
working fine is linux-image-6.1.0-7-amd64 as 6.1.20-2.

Sorry about the lack of clarity in the initial report.

Bug#914495: Same black screen issue here

[Olivier Berger]

Hi.

I've got the same issue with recently upgraded kernel on
linux-image-4.18.0-3-amd64.

Worked file previously with linux-image-4.18.0-2-amd64.

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: Dell Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 26
Memory at f000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M]
Memory at e000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
I/O ports at 70b0 [size=8]
[virtual] Expansion ROM at 000c [disabled] [size=128K]
Capabilities: 
Kernel driver in use: i915
Kernel modules: i915

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

FWIW, same here on Dell Latitude 5580.

# cat /sys/bus/scsi/devices/2\:0\:0\:0/model

Also, laptop-mode-tools 1.72-2 installed, FWIW.

Now seems fine after I added dm_mod.use_blk_mq=0 scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=0

Bug#823601: linux-image-4.5.0-1-amd64: radeon related errors reported

[Olivier Berger]

Package: src:linux
Version: 4.5.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The boot log and kernel messages report some issues related to the radeon 
module :

[   30.400180] radeon :01:00.0: ring 5 stalled for more than 1msec
[   30.400210] radeon :01:00.0: GPU lockup (current fence id 
0x0002 last fence id 0x0004 on ring 5)
[   30.400298] [drm:uvd_v1_0_ib_test [radeon]] *ERROR* radeon: fence wait

[   30.400342] [drm:radeon_ib_ring_tests [radeon]] *ERROR* radeon: failed 
testing IB on ring 5 (-35).

and

[   52.055063] radeon :01:00.0: VCE init error (-110).

I'm not sure how bad that is, but this seems much worse than with previous 4.x 
kernel where all these wouldn't pop up.

Apart from that, I'm not using the GPU much, so I haven't noticed other 
problems.

Hope this helps,

Best regards,

Hi.

After today's kernel update in testing, I'm getting the following :

It doesn't seem to be shipped.

Thanks in advance.

Bug#759552: initramfs-tools: manpage refers to /etc/mkinitramfs/conf.d and not /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d

[Olivier Berger]

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.115
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

Unless I'm mistaken, /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d which is shipped with the 
package is where conf snippets should be placed, but man initramfs.conf 
mentions /etc/mkinitramfs/conf.d.

I guess the manpage should then be adjusted.

Thanks in advance.

Bug#725275: Bug#724275: initramfs-tools should change the resume device

 Hi Olivier,
 
 1. First, there is a problem with the typo in the initramfs-tools package. 
 This problem will be solved in next version of initramfs-tools, because the 
 maintainers discovered this problem previosly (see 
 http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=kernel/initramfs-tools.git;a=blobdiff;f=hooks/resume;h=96e2ffdedea693ff3f5d1e287eef3ad58850d20a;hp=8554fb2d5885b7b1cd1f4aa8de97717340dd6fd1;hb=736200b04b0974b14b59719220a0ba77da57f28d;hpb=502b1f84aaaf76f0d96502532e991dc71673235f).
  Ben/Maximilian, do you have in mind upload a new version of initramfs-tools 
 soon?

Thanks for spotting this.

 
 So, if we change the typo (initramfs-tools maintainers upload a new version), 
 and the user don't use LVM2, the problem is gone.
 

Apparently, yes.

Looking at the commit above, I noticed that the maintainers flagged another bug 
(#724554) as fixed, so I've taken the liberty to merge these 2 bugs, about the 
blkid typo.

What a mess of duplicates and inter-related bugs... so I'm not CC-ing everyone, 
for this message, trying to diminish entropy.

I'll respond to the rest later.

I suggest that you read #724554 (if not yet spotted), which seems to provide 
additional details about the resuming issues and LVM.

So far so good, one step at a time ;-)

Bug#725275: Solving boot / hibernation issues with swap on LVM and uswsusp - Was: Re: Bug#724275: initramfs-tools should change the resume device

[Olivier Berger]

Hi.

(I'm not subscribed to the MLs, so I'm sorry in advance for responding
to everyone with so many CCs... I'm not sure Kix's message was worth it,
as the BTS was maybe enough for the moment IMHO... still, as many people
are probably busy on the same issues, let's hope this helps a bit anyway).

Rodolfo García Peñas k...@debian.org writes:

 1. First, there is a problem with the typo in the initramfs-tools
 package.

I've merged #725275 to #724554, as I believe these 2 were redundant,
spotting a typo on blikd/blkid.


 2. Second, if we solve the problem with the typo, and we use LVM2
 (like your system), the system won't boot. In this case is because the
 LVM2 scripts cannot check if the filesystem in format UUID= is the
 swap in a LVM volume. So, the problem is in the initramfs-tools lvm2
 script, because is unable to know it. This problem was created by the
 latest version of uswsusp package, because it use now UUID devices (no
 /dev devices), but the problem should be solved in lvm2, because is
 unable to handle UUID devices. This problem is the bug number #678687
 in lvm2. IMO, this bug should be forwareded/merged with #678687 when
 the problem with the typo will be solved. So, I don't have problems to
 hold the bug in uswsusp package if the initramfs-tools package is
 updated soon, and then forward it to lvm2.


It seems to me that the discussion in #724554 tends to indicate that
there are some issues with UUID for identifying LVM2 swap partitions as
resume devices, which may need to be considered before flagging #678687
as the only issue left, about the problems initially reported in #724275
(attention: almost identical numbers for tickets #725275 and #724275).

 So, the next step is try to make a patch for lvm2 package to handle
 UUID devices.

 This problem is critical, because the system don't boot if uswsusp is
 installed, but uswsusp is ok.

 Olivier, do you agree?


#678687 is probably an interesting problem on its own, but AFAIU it may
only be a problem for hibernation if one uses uswsusp.

From a user standpoint, as uswsusp seems not (no longer ?) needed for
basic hibernation to work, (at least on some architectures ?), so I'd
first try to make sure everything works as expected *without* uswsusp
installed, for users of swap on LVM2, and once this is OK, proceed with
the necessary uswsusp alignments.

Kix, I appreciate your help and willingness to push for a quick solution
to #724275, but I think the wisest path for the moment (as far as
testing is concerned) seems to wait for an updated initramfs-tools, test
again boot + hibernation, without uswsusp, and then, maybe reinstall
uswsusp afterwards to see if everything works again also.

Btw, people, https://wiki.debian.org/Hibernation needs more love, IMHO.

I hope this makes sense, but I may have overlooked other important
details, as I'm not really qualified WRT initrd.

Best regards,

Figured this out myself too while trying to fix #724275 (note this is different 
from the current 725275... surprisingly similar bug nums ;-).

With uswsusp installed and swap on LVM partition, this doesn't fix the boot 
hang problems, though.

But now, I can see a different message (transcript manually from camera 
snapshot):

I hope this helps.

It may very well be that #724275 and #725275 need merging, but I'm not sure of 
the interactions of initramfs-tools and uswsusp, given that other reporters 
haven't specified this.

Bug#725275: initramfs-tools: hooks/resume problems

[Olivier Berger]

Hi.

  The reason for this bug is a typo in /usr/share/initramfs/hooks/resume.
 
 Looking into this a bit further, I wondered why this typo should cause a
 problem. After all, the rest of this script generates a
 conf/conf.d/resume file containing what should be the correct resume
 device.
 
 However, what it generates is an entry like:
 
 RESUME=UUID=ZZ-ZZyy-yZZy-yZZy-Zyyy-ZyZy-yZ
 
 This may work fine if the swap device is not on LVM. If it is ...
 
 The problem is that scripts/local-top/lvm2 cannot figure out the
 volume group to activate in order to make the device accessible. (Or
 even the fact that this _is_ an LVM device!)
 
 Some more script-fu is required to check whether the resume device is
 of the form /dev/dm-xxx and in that case one needs to find its name by
 listing /dev/mapper/. That name needs to be used in order to get lvm2
 to activate the volume group or logical volume.
 

Interesting. Thanks for these details.

I've tried and change the resume device in /etc/uswsusp.conf, to use a path 
in the form /dev/mapper/VG-swap, and now have :

# grep -i resume /etc/uswsusp.conf /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
/etc/uswsusp.conf:resume device = /dev/mapper/main-swap
/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume:RESUME=/dev/mapper/main-swap

And guess what ? ... This works, now. Boot proceeds normally, and eventually 
resumes when I hibernated :-)

So my guess is that uswsusp may need to use the /dev/mapper/VG-swap form (will 
follow-up to #724275).

Maybe others don't have uswsusp installed, so YMMV.

Hope this helps.

 Thanks, Brett.
 

What do you think of the proposed version I'm attaching ?

I don't know about the +8 offset, but I do hope I have addressed the rest of 
the comments.

Not tested on various compressions, but basically helps solve this bug here, 
AFAICT.

I'm adding the new file as well, as it may help others without having to replay 
the patch.

Na warranty whatsoever.


Hope this helps.

Bug#724275: initramfs-tools should change the resume device

[Olivier Berger]

Hi.

On Thu, Oct 24, 2013 at 06:29:34AM +, Rodolfo García Peñas (kix) wrote:
 reassign 724275 initramfs-tools

While I understand there is something suboptimal in the interaction of 
initramfs-tools and uswsusp around resuming from hibarnation on the swap, I'm a 
bit doubtful about your re-assignment to initramfs-tools.

If I remove uswsusp, my machine will boot normally... so, from the strict 
symptoms of the system getting stuck at boot, uswsusp seems the culprit. Note 
however that it won't resume from hibernation, from then on, which exhibits 
probably some issue in initramfs-tools ;-). Still, a workaround may be to 
remove uswsusp if one cares.

Maybe establishing a dependency link between different tickets would be better, 
then ?

OK, this doesn't help solving the issue, but may render the problems a bit more 
understandable for non experts maybe ?

My 2 cents,

Bug#724275: uswsusp: Stops at boot with resume: libgcrypt version 1.5.3

 I change the uswsusp package to stable and initramfs-tools to stable. No

 The resume device in /etc/uswsusp.conf and /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume 
 points to the same device.
 
 My swap device is not in a lvm. I am using crypsetup in the root partition.
 

Now, I'm lost... I had the impression that you were one of the most qualified 
people to help fix this issue as the maintainer of uswsusp...

Too bad you don't seem to have a clue ? Or did I misinterpret your message ?

Hopefully someone can clarify the situation and help solve these hibernation / 
resume issues (with or without uswsusp) ?

Thanks in advance.

Bug#726192: linux-image-3.10-3-amd64: SATA CD/DVD player stops mounting/playing CD audios after a while

[Olivier Berger]

Package: src:linux
Version: 3.10.11-1
Severity: normal

Hi.

After a while, not systematically, the HL-DT-ST DVD+/-RW GT10N (Hitachi LG ?) 
in my Dell E5400 laptop will stop playing audio CDs, or ripping them, or 
ejecting the disk.

dmesg reports this at boot :

Rebooting solves the issue, but after a while, ripping another disk will 
exhibit the same issue.


There are quite a few reports about disks resets, but were more in the HD class 
(for instance in RAID setups), than CD/DVD players/burners.

Maybe same problem or another. Difficult to tell.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I think you didn't experience exactly the same problem explained in the

syslog pollution linked to cfg80211.

So cloning to another bug report hoping you don't mind.

 Which of these configurations have you been using?
 

Network Manager managing wifi settings, so none of these.

Bug#668547: linux-image-3.2.0-2-686-pae: spammed by cfg80211 : Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain

[Olivier Berger]

Package: linux-2.6
Version: 3.2.12-1
Severity: normal

Hi.

As you can see from this logs excerpts, I get spammed by cfg80211 in kernel 
logs every 5 seconds or so :-(

This tends to be filling up /var, if not paying attention.

I guess there must be something wrong somewhere...

Thanks in advance.

  Best regards,
 
 experimental has 2.6.39-rc7, can you reproduce on it?
 

Not for the moment... however, I'm not sure what the reproducibility conditions 
were exactly... :-/

Will try keeping running it and report after a while.

Thanks.

Bug#606029: linux-image-2.6.32-5-686: cfg80211 or zd1211 incorrectly detects regdom or misses configuration dialog

[Olivier Berger]

Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-28
Severity: normal

Hi.

Trying to connect to a wifi network (in France) which uses Channel 13 fails 
with a USB network card which requires zd1211.

It appears that after stock install, I have :
# cat /sys/module/cfg80211/parameters/ieee80211_regdom 
00

I need to set /etc/modprobe.d/cfg80211.conf with :
options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=EU
to make it work.

I guess there's a bug here, which may be related to the lack of debconf 
question for setting such parameters or similar configuration mechanism 
prompting the user, or to a buggy automagic detection of the regdom.

In any case, it's far from obvious for non-expert user why some AP would be 
seen (channels OK for US) and some not (for instance on channels 12 and 13).

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Bug#564174: xserver-xorg-video-intel: xrandr shows outputs that do not exist on Lenovo X200 (GM45)

Have you by any chance (or lack of ;) experienced some incorrect connection 
detection for external monitors, leading to activating dual screen 
configurations when not expected ?

You may see such problems I've experienced described in #585094.

As I have same hardware and symptoms of non-existant connectors too, I wondered 
if this could help find the culprit driver.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Bug#585600: linux-image-2.6.32-5-686: KMS does not detect display resolutions

[Olivier Berger]

Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-15
Severity: normal

Hi.

Since the latest radeon X driver has entered testing, KMS is enabled on my 
machine, which results in display resolution badly configured with my monitor. 
I used to have 1280x1024 and no longer have (the fallback 1024x768 is set).

The dmesg messages about EDID being wrong show the problem.

Maybe this is linked to a KVM display switch being present ?

In any case, this is all fine again if I change modesetting to off in 
/etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Bug#532159: [iwlagn] Does not take kill switch changes into account

[Olivier Berger]

Le dimanche 07 juin 2009 à 09:08 +0200, Josselin Mouette a écrit :

 
 When the iwlagn module is loaded, it takes into account the kill switch
 status; radio is disabled when the switch is off. However, it doesn’t
 take into account any changes in the switch status. To enable radio, I
 have to unload the module, change the switch state, and load the module
 again.
 

Maybe this exhibits the same problem as I reported in #530554 although
I'm not so sure if the context is exactly the same (hardware,
versions...) :-/

In any case, my 2 cents.

Best regards,

Bug#530554: linux-image-2.6.29-2-686: hardware wlan kill switch state isn't restored correctly if put back off

[Olivier Berger]

Package: linux-image-2.6.29-2-686
Version: 2.6.29-4
Severity: normal

When using network-manager, I cannot connect to wifi if I reactivate wirelless 
after having switched it off with the hardware kill-switch of my Dell Latitude 
D820.

I noticed some weird things after trying to debug the cause of the problem.

I have the following kill-switch information appearing in /sys at boot if 
kill-switch is off (meaning wireless activated) :
# for i in $(find /sys | grep -i kill | grep /state ); do echo -n $i :  ; cat 
$i; done
/sys/devices/virtual/rfkill/rfkill0/state : 1
/sys/devices/virtual/rfkill/rfkill1/state : 1
/sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1c.1/:03:00.0/rfkill/rfkill2/state : 1

After I activate the kill-switch to disable networking, it gives :
# for i in $(find /sys | grep -i kill | grep /state ); do echo -n $i :  ; cat

Which seems to be the defaults that was changed in a Debian patch added to fix 
#497971.

So I think the patch is now missing from 2.6.29... or the fix was not 
considered a proper way anymore ?

This looks like a regression of #497971 until further analysis, to me, then.

 Thanks - please reping when something goes into the tree.
 For clarification, did this mainboard function better in etch?


Nothing really different between etch and lenny.

 My concern with removing a blacklist in a stable release is that it
 may cause a regression on systems with BIOS versions that do need the
 blacklist so, as you noted, hopefully there's a way to only blacklist
 the versions affected.

You're right, but unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to
preserve a sane solution which wouldn't cause any regression for users
of different BIOS versions : 
http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpim=124082753813945w=2

So I guess we're stuck with having to manually tweak boot params until
something better is devised.

I'll try and close this report when a definitive answer is provided in
upstream list (probably soon, then).

Thanks for caring.

Bug#525247: linux-image-2.6.29-1-686: iwl3945 fails to detect WPA TKIP wireless network

[Olivier Berger]

Package: linux-image-2.6.29-1-686
Version: 2.6.29-3
Severity: normal

My wireless network is no longer detected with 2.6.29 whereas it used to work 
with 2.6.26.

The network is a WPA 1 TKIP.

I noticed that neither lib80211_crypt_ccmp nor lib80211_crypt_tkip are 
loaded... which may indicate some kind of problem with the renaming of the 
80211 API in 2.6.28 (IIRC), similar to what is reported in 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487445 (although for a different 
driver).

I tried and load these modules manually before or after modprobing iwl3945, 
with no more success.

In any case, this looks like a regression.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Bug#521268: linux-headers-2.6.29-1-amd64 cannot be installed because of linux-kbuild-2.6.29 absence

[Olivier Berger]

Hi.

Can't you merge the two tickets instead of closing without any more link
between them ?

Just my 2 cents,

Regards,

  Could you please make temporary download for the kbuild for 2.6.29 as

 right thus please stop reopening new bugs on same issue.

Thanks for providing this package, which helps workaround #519040.

But maybe, you could have pointed also to the reason why this problem exists 
currently ?

Thanks in advance.

Bug#520409: linux-image-2.6.28-1-686: hangs on via padlock RNG module initialization

[Olivier Berger]

Package: linux-image-2.6.28-1-686
Version: 2.6.28-1
Severity: normal


Whenever booting the kernel on my VIA mainboard, it hangs, and I need to CTRL-C 
the VIA RNG module initialization.

The same problem seems to have been reported here : 
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12823 but couldn't google anything else on the 
subject.

Best regards,

 Best regards,

FYI, commenting padlock_aes and padlock_sha in /etc/modules (and leaving 
via_rng) worked around the issue (also this worked fine with 2.6.26 from 
stable).

The patch provided upstream fixes the problem on 2.6.26, FYI

I applied the patch (quite trivial, and which applies perfectly) and recompiled 
a Debian 2.6.26 kernel, and tested it fixes the issue as expected.

May this be included in next stable kernel update ?

   the cause, it seems that the code has problems with rapid changes
   between no reception and GPRS/UMTS when under network load.
 
 - I tried to backport the hso.c module from linux-next (kindly provided
   by Florian Weimer; my version is attached to this mail). It uses an
   additional element in the tty_struct that is not present in earlier
   versions of the kernel. After changing the code not to use
   tty_kref_put and tty_kref_get, it compiles and can be inserted, but
   the system freezes on the first access of the hardware. I suppose
   there is some kind of locking missing, but I'm not fluent enough in C
   to debug this.
 
 My next step will be using a vanilla 2.6.27.9 kernel with the 1.6 hso.c
 from the Pharscape forum, as this is reported to be stable and cause no
 freezes.
 

FYI, there's an ITP filed about this driver : #501760

Hope this helps,

Bug#482177: linux-image-2.6-vserver-686: Please package latest upstream vserver patches version

[Olivier Berger]

Package: linux-image-2.6-vserver-686
Version: 2.6.22+11
Severity: wishlist

Looking at linux-patch-debian-2.6.22, I can see that patch level of vserver 
seems to be 2.2.0.5. (Btw, there's no apparent way to know that patch level 
from looking at the linux-headers-2.6.22-3-vserver-686 binary package, which is 
bad, IMHO... a README.Debian should be provided at least).

However, http://linux-vserver.org/Welcome_to_Linux-VServer.org indicates latest 
stable vs2.2.0.7.

Hence my request for an updated 2.6.22 vserver image.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

I should add that the 2.6.22 vserver image patch level is not uptodate either

My concern is that some vserver kernel is kept for lenny, and if no sooner than 
2.6.22, well that's better than nothing, so better have it with most recent 
patches from vserver project.

Hi.

I'm also very much interested.

I need a light virtualization solution to test packages I maintain on
various versions of the distribution (stable, testing, unstable), and
vserver seemed to be the only one available (tried xen but it failed to
run on my hardware properly).

I'm stuck with unsupported obsolete 2.6.22 kernel though :(

Thanks in advance.

FYI, it works with 2.6.22-3-686 (testing) by issueing :

# modprobe cifs
# echo 0  /proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled
(this is needed for this device which does not handle unix extensions)

then :
# mount -t cifs //nasiomega/PUBLIC /mnt/iomega -v -o 
user=guest,pass=public,domain=WORKGROUP

However, these commands lead to the oops on 2.6.24.

Will try and recompile a kernel with the
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sfrench/cifs-2.6.git
contents for the cifs driver, to see if it has been solved.

Unfortunately it evolved in a way which prevents replacing directly the
cifs driver source dir into the 2.6.24 kernel sources and rebuild.

Instead, I tried and test with 2.6.25-rc8-686 package from
http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel.

Unfortunately, it still fails :

Bug#473075: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686: Won't boot, seems root fs not mounted

[Olivier Berger]

Package: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686
Version: 2.6.24-4
Severity: normal

I installed the just arrived linux 2.6.24 image package on my desktop,
and tried rebooting it, with no success.

Boot procedure hangs with these messages (manual transcript from a
picture taken with my phone ;) :

mount: Mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: No such file or directory
Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init.
No init found. Try passing init= bootarg.


BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

(end of my picture nothing more than USB-related messages)

FYI, as I see something related to tty, I'm using a Belkin Components
F1DF102U Flip KVM switch to share screen and keybord (USB) between that
desktop and another system.

Hope this helps,

Thanks in advance for your help

[Olivier Berger]

least, in /usr/share/doc/linux-support-2.6.22-2

Bug#438104: firmware-iwlwifi: Dependencies on 2.6.22 maybe ?

[Olivier Berger]

Package: firmware-iwlwifi
Version: 0.7
Severity: normal

Hello.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think this firmware requires the mac80211 module to be 
loaded, which in turn is only available in kernel 2.6.22 in Debian.

I think the dependencies for this package should then reflect this.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong ;)

Hope this helps

Bug#420754: Problem apparently reported already in initramfs-tools

[Olivier Berger]

FYI, the bug report #420754 seems to correspond to this problem, and
proposes a workaround.

I'm gonna try it and test if this solves the issue.

Bug#420754: Workaround OK

[Olivier Berger]

Hi.

FYI, the proposed workaround in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=420754#5 helps solve
the issue.

I've patched /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions, then issued :
mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-4-xen-686 2.6.18-4-xen-686

After that : the lib/ in the initrd image contains the libcrypt.so.1
lib ...

As to know why sh needs libcrypt.so... it seems weird to me but that's
just a naive opinion.


These bugs should probably be merged... but I hope someone more
qualified will have a better judgement.

Hope this helps,

this relates to the problem I'm experiencing :

However the patch provided for versions prior to 2.6.18 doesn't seem to

Bug#417333: Too bad it happened again

[Olivier Berger]

FYI, I have my server crashed again it seems.

With netconsole, I've been able to get some details.

Here's the log :

Thanks.

I'm setting echo 1 /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_oops ... and will try to
report on the actual error which happens first.

Many thanks.

Hi.

FYI, I entered a report (#417333) for a problem which show traces
similar to that one...

I'm not sure though it's solved in latest kernel version.

Hope this helps,

Bug#403183: linux-image-2.6.18-3-686: Netgear FA410TX PCMCIA network card (NE2000 compatible) IRQ problems

[Olivier Berger]

Subject: linux-image-2.6.18-3-686: Netgear FA410TX PCMCIA network card (NE2000 
compatible) IRQ problems
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-3-686
Version: 2.6.18-7
Severity: normal

I've got a laptop on which I use a PCMCIA network card (Netgear
FA410TX), which has a ne2000 driver.

When laptop is booted with card in, there are watchdog events and
network connectivity is dropped and resume several times a minute
(reports in enclosed dmesg show these watchdog events).

If the card is ejected and then put back in, I get strange backtrace
dumps after a IRQ handler type mismatch for IRQ message (see dmesg
also), but after that, the card works fine, without dropping/resuming
the network connectivity.

This tends to be quite annoying, and didn't occur in 2.6.8 AFAI recall.

Hope this helps

Bug#380104: linux-image-2.6.16-2-k7: USB devices plugged to unpowered HUB silently stop working in 2.6.16

[Olivier Berger]

Package: linux-image-2.6.16-2-k7
Version: 2.6.16-17
Severity: normal

There is a new feature in 2.6.16 which stops powering the USB devices plugged 
on unpowered hubs if they require too much power.

This wasn't present in 2.6.15 and now renders device unrecognised when they 
used to work.

The messages of the kernel are not really clear on that, not mentioning why the 
device is not activated :
Jul 27 17:16:40 shuttle kernel: usb 2-2.3: new full speed USB device using 
uhci_hcd and address 6
Jul 27 17:16:41 shuttle kernel: usb 2-2.3: not running at top speed; connect to 
a high speed hub
Jul 27 17:16:41 shuttle kernel: usb 2-2.3: no configuration chosen from 1 choice


This leads to a bug from a user's perspective (hence the bug and not whichlist 
IMHO).

However, there's a patch available to notify the device de-activation.

Here are more details from a Gentoo ticket : 
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132721

Hope the same patch can be applied in Debian's kernel.

Best regards.

Bug#293194: Same here with kernel-image-2.6.8-2-k7

[Olivier Berger]

Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-k7
Version: 2.6.8-13
Followup-For: Bug #293194

Hi.

I experienced the same problem.

Had already reported this here : 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=272233msg=4 but I think it 
was not reported in the right place, as it is closer from your report, I think.

Anyway, I tried and get some debug information on what's happening at boot.

I added a set -x in /etc/hotplug/usb.rc and it appears that the script hangs on 
a :
grep -q -i bus /proc/bus/usb/devices

This very same problem seems to be reported on various places, but I couldn't 
find any definitive solution provided.

Several links that may be of interest though : 

http://sysadminforum.com/showthread.php?s=026cf0eaa04824d8e2a7205bf4beb535p=459910mode=threaded#post459910

Also maybe the same problem and a suggested correction patch :
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=277835

The patch : 
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-usb-develm=109241303306477w=2 (which 
I've hadn't time to test yet).

And https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=135171 maybe ?

FYI, it seems to be working much better if my Philips USB webcam and my 
firewire external hard-disk are unplugged at boot time.

Hope this helps.

I'll try and give the patch a try to see if it helps.

Best regards,

Bug#272233: Please disregard my previous followup

[Olivier Berger]

Hi.

The issue I reported in the previous followup to this report
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=272233msg=4) is
probably not related to the same issue. Please disregard it.

It concerns another report (#293194) and I added some followup that may help
others facing the same problem :
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=293194msg=11

Sorry about that misplaced report.

Bug#278720: fixed

[Olivier Berger]

Le sam 27/11/2004 à 02:37, Joshua Kwan a écrit :
 The problem seems to have been resolved so I'm closing this bug.

I'm not sure it was fixed, actually.

We had the same problem as reported, and it's still there in the latest
2.6.8 kernel packaged by Debian (testing).

I'm afraid that only one of the problems that was added to this bug
report in the meantime was actually fixed, but not the initial problem
which was reported. Namely :


 The prebuilt kernel image fails to boot on our Dell PowerEdge 2650
servers.
 The error we get is /dev/console not found and init failed.
 

We tried the 2.6.8-1 in the -10 revision both with 386 or 686 (and with
SMP too) versions, and it fails on /dev/console and /dev/null not
found/writable (sorry, no way to copy/paste the kernel messages)

Just after having detected the SCSI (right after this kind of messages) :

Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
SCSI device sda: 430071552 512-byte hdwr sectors (220197 MB)
Partition check:
 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 p2 p3 p4  p5 p6 p7 p8 

we get the errors on dev/console and dev/null... then init killed, and
the machine is frozen...

I think this bug should be reopened then.

Best regards,

Bug#278720: fixed

[Olivier Berger]

Hmmm... problem solved it seems.

OK, maybe I should withdraw my query for reopening, and apologies for
annoyance... I think we have experienced a different problem although it
looked the same : there may be several problems which can lead to the
symptoms of the initial bug-report.


The problem seems to have been caused by the lack of /dev/null and
/dev/console created on the root partition (the partition was
accessible, having the scsi driver loaded ok, but /dev empty).

The previous configuration operated on a 2.4.27 kernel actually used a
devfs, I think, so we beleived the devices where there on the root
partition whereas they weren't. Creating the devices solved the problem.
Maybe the /dev missed the devices since it was installed with a beta
installer ?

Also we were a bit mislead as believing this was specific to this
machine type and hardware since it happend on a Poweredge 2650 too. But
actually it's just a problem of /dev lacking console and null on the
disk.

For the records, it was mentioned in the threads that this has something
to do with the aic7xxx SCSI disk driver. But some of the PowerEdge 2650
servers are shipped with the Perc 3/Di controller which requires the
aacraid driver... so it may not be a problem with the aic7xxx driver in
the initrd image.


Anyway, if someone looks for information on that issue, here are some
hints. While trying to figure out what went wrong, I read several pages:

The problem is very close to this bug (initrd-tools)
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=271038 : helped to
disgnostic what went wrong : debugging you could set BUSYBOX=yes and
DELAY=5 in /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf
Same solution may apply too...

The solution was described in the UDEV primer at :
http://webpages.charter.net/decibelshelp/LinuxHelp_UDEVPrimer.html#consnull :

If this is a new install and configuring it for a Pure UDEV system, or
you get an error when you finally reboot after installing udev and
setting it correctly like this: WARNING: Unable to open an initial
console. It is because there is no /dev/console and /dev/null. What is
happening is that /dev/console is needed before udev is populating the
/dev folder. You can try this by manually deleting all static devices in
/dev folder from another system, then rebooting to the udev system. You
will get the console error. You will also notice that it is faulting at
a time before it normally loads udev. If you just make /dev/console
though it will then fail for /dev/null. So it needs both of those static
in /dev, at least for the time being. The fix for now is to manually
create them in your /dev folder.

cd /dev
mknod -m 660 console c 5 1
mknod -m 660 null c 1 3

This will create the /dev/console and /dev/null statically in your /dev
folder.

Also there was a discussion about that issue in the thread starting here
: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0410.1/0608.html

I'm not sure I got it right, but I think this suggests that maybe the
initrd init process may not depend on the presence of null and console
on the disk ? ... If by bad luck these happen to be removed (or never
created ? ... installer's fault ?), we tend to be in bad situation.


Hope this helps and sorry again for unnecessary annoyances.

 We had the same problem as reported, and it's still there in the latest
 2.6.8 kernel packaged by Debian (testing).

  The prebuilt kernel image fails to boot on our Dell PowerEdge 2650
 servers.
  The error we get is /dev/console not found and init failed.
  
 
 We tried the 2.6.8-1 in the -10 revision both with 386 or 686 (and with
 SMP too) versions, and it fails on /dev/console and /dev/null not
 found/writable (sorry, no way to copy/paste the kernel messages)

Bug#271038: Same problem happening on different hardware/kernel version ?

[Olivier Berger]

Hi.

We've experienced the same kind of problem on a PowerEdge 2650 Dell
server with a 2.6.8 686 SMP image...

The problem came from lack of /dev/console and /dev/null in the root
partition on the disk.

I initially thought I stroke bug #278720
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=278720), but actually,
I think both may be merged... or not... not sure if same problems
although symptoms can look the same.

I've described my findings in the following comment sent to bug #278720
(which is now closed... maybe this one should be too, if problem is the
same ?) :

Now, maybe there is no problem with initrd... and just issues with lists
of modules configured by the installer... problems of later upgrades and
then partitions not accessible at boot time... or the initrd should not
depend on null and console being present on the root partition...

Hope this helps.
