Bug#406166: linux-image-2.6.18-3-k7: Kernel BUG appeared in syslog [rt.ursine.ca #540]
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-3-k7 Version: 2.6.18-8 Severity: normal I received a rather severe looking kernel BUG in my syslog after playing UT2004. The gaming session ended around the time the BUG appeared in the syslog, with the game locking up completely, freezing in place.

Bug#406181: linux-2.6: RAID1 repair is broken
Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.18-8 Severity: normal This is a followup to an issue initially reported to the mdadm package as bug 405919. As there is really a separate kernel issue, Martin asked me to file a separate bug. The RAID1 repair process is currently a no-op. The upstream maintainer for the kernel MD driver sent a patch which worked for me: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=405919;msg=17 Regarding the other kernel issue I had reported under bug 405919 (inverted cmd_match(page, repair) condition), note that it's already fixed in debian's kernel version. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16.36 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

loadkeys in early userspace (using initramfs-tools)
Hi, Just like cryptsetup the uswsusp package needs to interact with the user via the keyboard in early userspace. For people with non-us keyboards that can be problematic because loadkeys hasn't run yet. I found out that cryptsetup already solved the problem in its initramfs-{hook,script}. To not duplicate your work wouldn't it be better to split that functionality of and put it in the initramfs-tools package? What do you think? grts Tim For reference, the code I'm referring to follows, [ In hooks/cryptroot ]=== prepare_keymap() { local env charmap # Allow the correct keymap to be loaded if possible if [ ! -x /bin/loadkeys ] || [ ! -r /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz ]; then return 1 fi copy_exec /bin/loadkeys /bin/ cp /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz $DESTDIR/etc/ # Check for UTF8 console if [ ! -x /usr/bin/kbd_mode ]; then return 0 fi if [ -r /etc/environment ]; then env=/etc/environment elif [ -r /etc/default/locale ]; then env=/etc/default/locale else return 0 fi for var in LANG LC_ALL LC_CTYPE; do value=$(egrep ^[^#]*${var}= $env | tail -n1 | cut -d= -f2) eval $var=$value done charmap=$(LANG=$LANG LC_ALL=$LC_ALL LC_CTYPE=$LC_CTYPE locale charmap) if [ $charmap = UTF-8 ]; then copy_exec /usr/bin/kbd_mode /bin/ fi return 0 } [ In scripts/local-top/cryptroot ] load_keymap() { local opts opts=-q # Should terminal be in UTF8 mode? if [ -x /bin/kbd_mode ]; then /bin/kbd_mode -u opts=$opts -u fi # Load custom keymap if [ -x /bin/loadkeys -a -r /etc/boottime.kmap.gz ]; then loadkeys $opts /etc/boottime.kmap.gz fi } signature.asc Description: PGP signature

This could be done e.g. by including a per-package file such as /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf.d/{cryptsetup,uswsusp} which contains the line KEYMAP=y (this would also be flexible enough to allow other customizations in the future).

This would also allow users to specify that they want the keymap to be included even if there is no package which needs it (by creating such a file themselves). or just setting it in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/keymap or in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf. this code is good tested by uswsusp, but it's a feature enhancement. i'll queue it up for the post-etch queue.

I hope you would agree that it's the best effort of the kernel developers! They are certainly working as hard as possible to support this hardware. Lets focus on keyspan. For one, it looks like Keyspan might have been (and might still be) trying to make progress. These firmware files are old. As the years went on, it seems like at some point someone (from within keyspan) figured out how to describe some of firmware functionality as code. So it looks like there was some forward progress. It's still likely that the raw hex values are generated by some hardware guys and there isn't any understanding of what they really mean -- or what they mean makes no sense or can't be described in C. This happens all the time. The hardware guys could have quit, been fired or died and the knowledge lost. What doesn't make sense to me is to throw out stuff like this because we don't have the code. Lots of other hardware like this has this same non-free stuff on chips inside of it that we can't see the binary. I don't see any way around problems like this. Do you have any suggestions here?

All of your arguments deal with the latter issue. I can't legally use this driver to drive my own non-keyspan device and I cannot make changes to the hex to fix a bug or add a feature for my Keyspan device. I'm not a lawyer, but its also questionable to me whether or not the license permits us to distribute it an the the non-free modules package. If you'd like to help improve the situation, I suggest lobbying Keyspan to license their blob under the GPL.

Re: How do I build a XEN kernel with make-kpkg

Whatever I do with 2.6.18 the kernel build process exits with errors that show me that something is very wrong in the kernel source tree. So I'm stuck, but I wonder: There IS a package linux-image-2.6.18-3-xen-686 so it SHOULD be possible to build such an image. But HOW can I do that? Is there any sort of magic spell that I have to say before building it or am I just missing an important point? The debian patch package is incompatible to make-kpkg. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=382699 I was sure I did send in the workaround for xen but can't see it in the BTS. So here we go again (CCing the bug). As a quick fix for xen do: mkdir /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.18/xen/ cat /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.18/apply/xen EOF #!/bin/sh echo Applying debian patch with xen parts if [ -z $KPKG_ARCH ]; then KPKG_ARCH=$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH) fi /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.18/apply/debian --arch $KPKG_ARCH --subarch xen EOF cat /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.18/unpatch/xen EOF #!/bin/sh set -e upstream=2.6.18 exec /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/$upstream/apply/debian $upstream-0 EOF chmod a+x /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.18/apply/xen /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.18/unpatch/xen After that you can use make-kpkg --added-patches xen clean make-kpkg --added-patches xen kernel-image The same can be done for vserver and xen-vserver.
