I understand why you put them out, but you should warn the user you did
so, either by a message in apt, or by sending a mail to root ... because
the name of that module do not sound obvious to me ...

Bug#273474: APM broken in image-2.6.8-1 version 2.6.8-3, worked in 2.6.8-1

2004-09-26 Thread Marcus C. Gottwald
Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686
Version: 2.6.8-3

I have been using version 2.6.8-1 just fine on a Dell Latitude
C400 notebook and upgraded to the recent version 2.6.8-3. After
upgrading,

a) the built-in, APM-related function keys (e.g for triggering a
   BIOS-controlled suspend or for entering the BIOS) stopped
   working.

b) a user-initiated suspend (apm --suspend) leads to a suspended
   system, but it won't wake up again. After having pressed the
   power button on a suspended system, a few LEDs blink as
   usual, but the system immediately goes dead/sleeping/...
   again.

After downgrading back to 2.6.8-1 (the deb was still on my
disk), everything is working again.

I'm running a mixed stable/testing system, apmd and libapm1 are
from testing (3.2.2-2).


Cheers, Marcus

Should this be a hotplug bug for trying to load these?

tcp window problem in 2.6.8.1

2004-09-26 Thread Jaakko Niemi
Hello,

Tcp window scaling behaviour was changed in 2.6.8, and this
causes problems with some sites. Details are in:

http://lwn.net/Articles/92727/

These changes seem to have been reverted, or at least reworked
in 2.6.9-rc. 

This is bound to become faq if we release sarge with 
2.6.8 packages as they are now. While the workaround
is rather simple, it might make sense to fetch the 
patch from 2.6.9-rc. 

Has anyone looked at this issue? I could not find anything
from list archives or from bts with quick search.

A few days ago, Christoph mention that this has been fixed in svn
already.

 ok, quick enough search to miss all relevan bits, namely:

 Sorry for the noise.

I wouldn't call this a fix.  It's a really bad hack to work around
broken non-linux systems..




Bug#273527: possible deadlock in kmem_alloc (mode 0x50)

2004-09-26 Thread Jonathan Tai
Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686
Version: 2.6.8-3

My gateway/fileserver machine running Debian Unstable was unresponsive
this morning.  When I plugged in a monitor and keyboard, I saw:

possible deadlock in kmem_alloc (mode 0x50) 

on the screen.  I was unable to get the machine to reboot, so I hit the
reset button.  After a reboot, I looked at /var/log/syslog and found
thousands of messages (see below).  I'm not a kernel hacker by any
means, so I'm submitting this in hopes that someone else can make sense
of it and forward it upstream, if appropriate.  

Just briefly, the machine is a Pentium III 1.0 Ghz, ASUS TUSI-M
motherboard, 384MB SDRAM.  I have XFS on /dev/md0 mounted at /raid is a
RAID1 array over two parallel ATA drives (/dev/hde and /dev/hdg); Debian
is installed on an EXT3 partition on /dev/hda, also a parallel ATA
drive.  

Here is the first message in syslog.  I have the entire relevant portion
of syslog saved (size is ~690k), as well as the machine's dmesg, if
necessary.  Please let me know if I can help in any other way.

Bug#273569: kernel-image-2.6.8: CONFIG_PCI_MSI should NOT be enabled!

2004-09-26 Thread Christopher L Cheney
Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7
Version: 2.6.8-3
Severity: serious

Between 2.6.7 and 2.6.8 the CONFIG_PCI_MSI config option was enabled it
was previously called CONFIG_PCI_USE_VECTOR for reference. This is
normally defaulted off and suggests to be turned off as well. It causes
some systems including my laptop to no longer work at all under linux
since it changes how interrupt routing works. Also on lkml there are
threads suggesting not all drivers even work properly with MSI.

This bug also affects both pure64 (amd64) and Ubuntu linux kernels,
since both are derived from the official Debian ones.
