We came in this morning to find that almost all machines not equipped with the latest (.3) kernel had crashed with trac ticket #4322. The exceptions to this were one machine which had crashed w. #4431, one which had powered itself off, and one which had rebooted.
We've upgraded all machines to the .3 kernel, and have not seen any more crashes due to #4322. So far, in our testing, we have seen two different machines power off on resume. Another board has rebooted itself three times, and will be X-rayed tmw. to look for assembly problems. We have seen no other machines reboot. We have seen another instance of #4431 (WLAN interface going away) on the same machine, and eight instances of #4121 (WLAN interface doesn't go away, but no longer works) over the course of the day. We may well X-ray the #4431 machine as well. One machine had its USB power switch die during the day. We replaced the chip and it's back in testing. Seven of the new machines are in cases w. keyboard and display, and they all refuse to start X (see previous email to devel). Also troubling is a gray screen of death on these machines after a kernel crash. This feels like more of the DCON regression that we thought was fixed in build 617 and later. The serial dongles were released from customs, and arrived around 11AM. We then wasted a large amount of time cabling them up only to realize that the USB hubs purchased for us were not stable enough to use for logging! We will purchase more tmw. morning, but may have to travel back to Shanghai (90 minutes) to find a store stocking them. Chris attempted to install the manufacturing server (we were going to use it to log additional channels until we found more USB hubs), but was as confused as the Ubuntu installer was by there being no hard disks inside it. Oops. G'evening, wad and Chris _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
