  Quite strange. Frans could you take a look on that for us?

Will you please stop asking me to do stuff? I thought I had made my 
current feelings clear. If there are things I *want* to look into, you'll 
see me follow up on them.

This is obviously an RC issue for RC2 for sparc, so track it, deal with it 
(or find someone to deal with it), but don't pester me.

 With this patch did I get clean build.

And possibly also a non-working image!

Someone needs to trace the actual cause of the problem here. Why is the 
kernel no longer getting compressed or not getting compressed correctly?

Random changes without knowing what caused the builds to suddenly go wrong 
in the first place are *never* a good idea.

Cheers,
FJP

If it's not in the laptop task there must be a good reason for that and 
you should start by checking the tasksel changelog.

But anyway, that is up to the maintainers of the respective desktop tasks 
and the tasksel maintainers. You should file a wishlist BR against

But IMO the lightweight desktops are also very much for users of older

2008-11-23 Thread Martin Michlmayr
* Devin Carraway [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2008-11-19 13:31]:
 Timezone setup was fine, but the system RTC does not appear to be running,
 so attempts to write to the hardware clock (which require an RTC poll)
 failed, causing a brief (but properly detected by the installer) hang.
 Installed files were timestamped correctly, but on post-install reboot the
 clock was wrong (also if the clock isn't running the hwclock access on boot
 will stall, taking hours for the first boot, but I'd disabled that before
 the reboot.)

Rod, Gordon, do you know what to do about this situation?  I think RTC
works fine here, but what can we do in the case described by Devin?

 A new idea that Steve suggested was to make the i386 and amd64 DVDs, and 
 if possible also the i386/amd64 multi-arch DVD (with or without powerpc 
 depending on space), support *all four* desktops. This would be 
 implemented a bit differently, namely by leaving the top level menu as it 
 is but adding a Desktop selection option in the Advanced options menu.

That would be really cool.

Well, count on nothing from Bastian, sure.

If someone can track down where the problem lies, and files a

Bug#504721: Possible reason for serial console misdetection

2008-11-23 Thread Jurij Smakov
Hi,

I looked into it, and here's what I get on my SunBlade 1000 when I 
boot using serial console:

~ # dmesg | grep -i console 
[0.00] console [earlyprom0] enabled 
[   53.918290] Console: colour dummy device 80x25 
[   53.971361] console handover: boot [earlyprom0] - real [tty0] 
[   59.676537] Console: switching to mono PROM 80x34 
[   64.238061] Console: ttyS0 (SAB82532) 
[   64.308951] console [ttyS0] enabled 
~ #

The logic in reopen-console is the following:

1. Look for the 'console handover' line in dmesg output and extract 
whatever is listed there as a real console. If it's successful, then 
we are done. In this case this line matches, but it contains an 
incorrect console setting 'tty0', referring to the terminal. As a 
result of this setting the information is still displayed on the 
serial console, but you cannot enter information through it, only 
keyboard input is accepted.

2. If we still don't have a value for the console, look for 'console 
[...] enabled' line(s), and extract console values from it. In this 
case two lines would match, producing console values 'earlyprom0' and 
'ttyS0'. Function also checks whether corresponding devices in /dev 
exist, and if this reduces the number of values to a single console 
value, then this value is chosen. In this case /dev/earlyprom0 does 
not exist, so we would end up with a single 'ttyS0' value, which is 
correct.

So, the problem is that reopen-console gives preference to the value 
in 'console handover' line, which is incorrect on sparc (refers to a 
real terminal console even if one is connecting through serial). If it 
is obvious, that sparc is unique that way, and it works correctly on 
other arches, the following (untested) patch might do the trick:

--- a/src/sbin/reopen-console   2008-09-21 09:29:17.0 +0100
+++ b/src/sbin/reopen-console   2008-11-23 22:09:56.0 +
@@ -12,7 +12,7 @@
sed -n -e 's/.*\] console handover: boot \[.*\] - 
real \[\(.*\)\]$/\1/p')
 
consoles=
-   if [ -z $console ]; then
+   if [ -z $console ] || [ $(/bin/archdetect) = sparc/sparc64 ]; then
# Retrieve all enabled consoles from boot log; ignore those
# for which no device file exists
for cons in $(dmesg -s 65535 |

I'll try to ask around and see whether current console detection in 
reopen-console is correct for other arches.

By the way, appending console=ttyS0 at the boot prompt fixes the 
problem, so can be used as a temporary workaround.

Cheers.

As serial console boots (or boots without keyboard connected) have always 
been supported for sparc and given this analysis, this is IMO a clear 
regression. Thus increasing severity.

Bug#506711: kernel-package: [sparc] no longer produces compressed kernels for linux-2.6

2008-11-23 Thread Frans Pop
Package: kernel-package
Version: 11.0011
Severity: serious
Tags: d-i
Justification: kernels built using this break sparc D-I builds

Daily builds of D-I for sparc have been failing with:
gzip: ./tmp/netboot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-sparc64: not in gzip format

This has been traced to the fact that the kernel as taken from the
2.6.26-10 linux-image package for sparc64 (built 08 Nov) is no longer
compressed. As sparc still uses kernel-package to build official Debian
kernel images (based on info from Bastian Blank), this is most likely a
regression in kernel-package.

It is unknown whether this issue also affects other architectures or not.

The previous D-I kernel udebs were based on linux-image 2.6.26-8 (built
for sparc on 9 Okt) did not have this issue, so at that time things were
still OK.

Please inform both the kernel team and the installer teams when this issue
is fixed as we will need binNMU's for linux-2.6 for any (potentially)
affected architectures and after that new uploads of the kernel udebs for
D-I.

Cheers,
FJP

  Right. So RC bug there.

 File it, with details.

Even though I really was not planning to, I've just done so (#506711).

I'm again disappointed that nobody else took the trouble to even try to
trace this to its cause [1]. Especially as it turned out to be completely
trivial.

Given the error
gzip: ./tmp/netboot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-sparc64: not in gzip format
and util/tftpboot.sh (based on the fact that Geert fixed it there):

snip
kernel=$1
[...]
case $arch in
arm* | i386 | mips | mipsel)
cp $kernel $tftpimage.tmp
;;
*)
echo uncompressing kernel
gzip -cd $kernel  $tftpimage.tmp
;;
esac
/snip

So, the kernel gets passed in as the first parameter.

A simple grep on tftpboot.sh leads to config/sparc/netboot.cfg, which has:
tftpboot.sh $(TEMP_KERNEL) $(TEMP)/System.map.gz $(TEMP_INITRD) $(TEMP_BOOT)

A short look at the Makefile shows:
$(TEMP_KERNEL): $(STAMPS)tree-unpack-$(targetstring)-stamp

So it looks like the kernel is simply unpacked from the linux-kernel udeb.

As there have been no obvious relevant changes in D-I SVN but there *has*
been a very recent upload of kernel udebs, the conclusion is simple. Waldi
provided the missing link to kernel-package.

There is absolutely NO NEED that I should be doing this. Next time I
really won't. Of course, if others try, fail, and report what they have
done and where they got stuck, I'll be quite happy to offer suggestions
or, if all else fails, to give it a try myself.

Just to be clear: handling the cleanup of this issue is up to others.
See the BR I filed. The fix Geert has apparently done in his local buildd
checkout is NOT a solution and should be reverted.

Cheers,
FJP

[1] Geert's effort is of course very much appreciated, but only took things
half way. Without that I would not have looked at all.

 A new idea that Steve suggested was to make the i386 and amd64 DVDs, and 
 if possible also the i386/amd64 multi-arch DVD (with or without powerpc 
 depending on space), support *all four* desktops. This would be 
 implemented a bit differently, namely by leaving the top level menu as it 
 is but adding a Desktop selection option in the Advanced options menu.

Hello folks,

I won't be able to test those images until Wed due the University
tests but the general conecept looks impressive.

I'd like to thanks to Frans and Steve to work on that and would like
to ask for people to really give a try and provide feedback for those
images that Frans has produced so we can fix any remaning issue ASAP
and start a timeline for RC2.

Thanks a lot for all :-)

Cheers,

Bug#506252: success: d-i lenny rc1 on nslu2 armel

 * Devin Carraway [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2008-11-19 13:31]:
 Timezone setup was fine, but the system RTC does not appear to be running,
 so attempts to write to the hardware clock (which require an RTC poll)
 failed, causing a brief (but properly detected by the installer) hang.
 Installed files were timestamped correctly, but on post-install reboot the
 clock was wrong (also if the clock isn't running the hwclock access on boot
 will stall, taking hours for the first boot, but I'd disabled that before
 the reboot.)

 Rod, Gordon, do you know what to do about this situation?  I think RTC
 works fine here, but what can we do in the case described by Devin?

This problem didn't occur when I last checked the RC1 installer image.
Sounds like a hardware problem. I wonder if removing and then
reinstalling the NSLU2 battery will solve the problem [1] (search for
rtc on the page). Alternatively, you could boot the Linksys firmware,
and then try the installer again.

Re: Bug#506711: kernel-package: [sparc] no longer produces compressed kernels for linux-2.6

2008-11-23 Thread Frans Pop
On Monday 24 November 2008, Manoj Srivastava wrote:
 Could you provide more detail, please? This is not enough to
  indicate where the fault lies. At a minimum, the kernel package
  invocation line, and the full logs of the build where failure was
  noticed should be provided to the bug report. Without this
 information, it is hard to diagnose the problem.

 The only thing I can see is that sparc processing in k-p
 defines NEED_DIRECT_GZIP_IMAGE.  Now, what kernel-package thinks is the
 architecture is taken from either
   a) user specified value,
   b) dpkg-architecture  -qDEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU

 If the architecture contains the string sparc, then we arrange
  to gzip the image. If this is not happening, we need to determine if
 it tried to compress, but compressed the wong file, or it did not try
 to compress it at all, or if the actual image is in some other place.

 If the build logs for the kernel image show which of these
  scenarios it is, it can be easily fixed. So the build log of the
 kernel image would be useful.

  This has been traced to the fact that the kernel as taken from the
  2.6.26-10 linux-image package for sparc64 (built 08 Nov) is no longer
  compressed. As sparc still uses kernel-package to build official
  Debian kernel images (based on info from Bastian Blank), this is most
  likely a regression in kernel-package.

 Why do you say this is a regression? Does the previous version
  work?  What was the last known working version of the kernel-package?

  It is unknown whether this issue also affects other architectures or
  not.
 
  The previous D-I kernel udebs were based on linux-image 2.6.26-8
  (built for sparc on 9 Okt) did not have this issue, so at that time
  things were still OK.

 Which version of kernel-package was being used then?

Sorry, I cannot provide the requested info as I'll be off-line for a few 
day starting in 30 minutes. CC'ing d-boot and d-kernel.

He did not. See the changelog entry.
