 Hi,
 
 I am still having this problem with Lenny (2.6.24-1-686), can someone
 advise me on any workaround?

lenny has newer kernel aka 2.6.25 and will soon get unstable 2.6.26
install those.

also bug reports are *bad* for support requests please direct those
to an user mailing list.

thanks

  Hi,
  
  it seems that 2.6.26 (whether the debian package or the kernel.org
  kernel) locks up after a while on Debian's DL385G1 systems.
  
  After a while, sooner with more disk IO/filesystem load, the system
  hangs: it continues to do stuff but everything involving disk hangs
  forever.
  
  The systems work just fine on a 2.6.25.10 kernel.
  
  The servers have Opterons like this:
  cpu family  : 15
  model   : 33
  
  so http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0808.0/0882.html might
  explain it.
 
 hey Peter,
  This is readily reproducible - a simple kernel compile was all it
 took. git bisecting suggests that this issue was introduced by [1]
 and unmasked by [2] during 2.6.26 devlopment. It was later fixed
 during 2.6.27 development by [3].
 
 Can you confirm that the attached backport of [3] fixes the problem
 for you?

[PATCH] Enable amd64 Xen on trunk

2008-08-12 Thread Ian Campbell
Since trunk is now at 2.6.27 which supports amd64 Xen guest's I thought
we could enable CONFIG_XEN for that kernel. I also added some options to
the 32 bit config, they are enabled anyway this just makes them that
explicit.

any opinions?

I upgraded several of Debian's machines to 2.6.26.2 plus the patch you
provided.  So far they are still running - and I put them under load
that would reliably kill them before.

Thanks,

Bug#434138: Boot failure from software-RAID1 in etch during upgrade to 2.4.24-etchnhalf.1-686

2008-08-12 Thread Fabrice LORRAIN
Hello,

Through upgrade of our servers, I got biten several times by this bug.
This is a sum up :
- most of those pb occured while upgrading to 2.6.24-etchnhalf.1
- all the servers are Dell PowerEdges, with / build on
/dev/md0=/dev/sd[a,b]2, the disks been SCSI, SAS or SATA2.
- Using rootdelay=1 solved the pb on all cases (included the case in my
previous report).
- All the upgrades path have been :
 - upgrade to uptodate 2.6.18 (works on all cases except 1 out of ~30
servers)
 - then upgrade to 2.6.24 on some servers

Didn't boot without the fix (PE = PowerEdge):
- 2 * PE-1750
- 1 * PE-2800
- 2 PE-2850, one of them didn't boot on the
linux-image-2.6.18-6-686-bigmem 2.6.18.dfsg.1-18etch6 -
2.6.18.dfsg.1-22 upgrade (did without -bigmem, did with 2.6.18-bigmem or
2.4.24 with rootdelay=1)
- 3 * PE2950

Did boot 2.6.24 without the fix :
- 3 * PE-860 (SATA2 for those servers)
- 1 * PE-2650

All the server failed at the same stage in the initrd with the following
error :
...
Failure: failed to start /dev/md0

Attached :
- /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf from /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686
- /conf/md.conf from /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686
- the bootlog from the PE-2800. In the used initrd
/scripts/init-premount/udev has been edited to echo -- in premount
and -- out premount.

Getting this fixed for lenny would be appreciated.
Documenting the pb in
http://wiki.debian.org/EtchAndAHalf?highlight=%28EtchAndAHalf%29 might
help others.

As a side not, I would have appreciated a quick fix with the hard coded
sleep [1|2] instead of the undocumented rootdelay approch for etch.
Getting bitten by 2 years old bug [#366175] in debian stable is annoying.

These are currently already =y due to the Kconfigs having default y in
them.

They could be made modular but I'm not sure how this would impact d-i
where I'm am considering enabling graphical install mode for Xen
http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2008/08/msg00274.html

Since this is trunk we could switch to =m now and figure out d-i later
for Lenny+1 (or +0.5). On the other hand VFB is somewhat to Xen like
CONFIG_FB_VESA is to native so an argument could be made for keeping it
builtin. I'll do a build and try and see what the size impact is.

If we do go for =m I'd do it in a separate changeset to this one.

Ian.

Boot failure from software-RAID1 in etch during upgrade to 2.4.24-etchnhalf.1-686

2008-08-12 Thread Fabrice LORRAIN
Hi all,

As reported in #434138, in some cases, upgrading to etchnhalf + software
raid doesn't work. The quick fix is to use delayroot=n as a kernel
parameter.

This information might be a helpful addition for [1].
Also, it seems that [1]  [2] hadn't been updated since etchnhalf
released, removing all the will, and may would help understand where
we stand.

Thanks,

@+,

Fab

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.92e
Severity: minor


When upgrading recently I noticed initramfs-tools give the following warning: 

Warning: Busybox is required for successful boot!

... but it isn't. I shut down, and rebooted perfectly successfully. 

This happened on two different machines (neither has busybox installed any 
more). Both are fine.

Surely, if this warning were to be true, and busybox were truly necessary for a 
successful boot, then initramfs-tools 
should surely depend on busybox rather than merely recommending it.

CC

Hi,

Please make log_begin_msg not emit a trailing newline - this makes the non-
quiet output cleaner and results in half as many lines being emitted. For
example:

  Begin: Finding root filesytem ...
  Done.

Becomes:

  Begin: Finding root filesytem ... done.

Patch attached - it also adds a space and alters the case of done for
symmetry. This would be especially useful in Debian Live where we show a
large number of these messages by default.

preinst contains the following lines:

25   elif [ -x /lib/udev/vol_id ]; then
26 UUID=$(/sbin/vol_id -u $RESUME || true)
27   fi

Line 26 clearly is a copypaste error in that it should read /lib/udev/vol_id
instead of /sbin/vol_id. Changing this should fix the bug immediately (thus
tagging patch).

Hi,

I tried to create an initrd and got:

debian:~# mkinitramfs 2.6.26

Usage: /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs [OPTION]... -o outfile [version]

Options:
  -d confdir  Specify an alternative configuration directory.
  -k  Keep temporary directory used to make the image.
  -o outfile  Write to outfile.
  -r root Override ROOT setting in mkinitrd.conf.

See mkinitramfs(8) for further details.


Mhm, strange ... I opened mkinitramfs(8) which advises:

mkinitramfs [-d confdir] [-k] [-o outfile] [-r root] [-v] [version]

Nevertheless it seems that -o outfile is *not* optional and required.
Also in the Usage line I don't know how to parse -o outfile. Why do you use 
?

I suggest to change the manpage to
mkinitramfs [-d confdir] [-k] -o outfile [-r root] [-v] [version]
and the Usage line to
Usage: /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs [OPTION]... -o outfile [version]

Jens

Bug#494800: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686: usb-storage broken, media size not detected

2008-08-12 Thread Vaclav Ovsik
Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686
Version: 2.6.26-2
Severity: important

Hi,
today I found my flash disks stopped working with linux 2.6.26. Attached
are kernel messages with kernel 2.6.25 - ok and with 2.6.26 for the same
USB flash disk. I tried to google for similar problems, and found this:

IPv6 conntrack doesn't work yet. It will be finished in this week.

  
 *  nfsd module trouble
   http://bugs.debian.org/494384

Sorry, I didn't understand this notes:
   I upgraded from 2.6.25-2 to 2.6.26-1-openvz-686.
   After reboot, the nfsd module fails to load with this error message:
   nfsd loads without error if I boot the 2.6.26-1-686 kernel instead.

That was loaded and then error occurs?



  
 thanks

 OK, let's back way up.  Apart from the confusing messages, it seems
 like the real problem is related to this modprobe config line:

   options parport_pc io=0x378,0x278 irq=7,5

 With that line present, I think you have:

   parport0 at port 0x378, irq 7
   parport1 at port 0x278, irq 5
   ad1816a at ports 0x220, 0x388, 0x500, irq 10, dma 1, 3
   ad1816a MPU401 at port 0x300, irq disabled

 Without that line, it sounds like you have this:

   parport0 at port 0x378, irq ?
   parport1 at port 0x278, irq disabled (polling)
   ad1816a at ports 0x220, 0x388, 0x500, irq 5, dma 1, 3
   ad1816a MPU401 at port 0x300, irq ? (maybe 7?)

 If the parallel ports only have 5 and 7 as IRQ possibilities, I
 can imagine how loading the ad1816a driver first might claim those
 IRQs, leaving them unavailable for parport_pc.  But all your logs
 show parport_pc being loaded first.  And I would think that if
 ad1816a were loaded first, it would claim both 5 and 7, leaving
 *both* parallel ports in polling mode.

 If this is indeed the problem, can you send a dmesg for this failing
 case?  (Try dmesg -s64000; the first part of the log should show
 parport resource info, but it is truncated in the logs you posted).

 What would you think of something like the patch below?  It doesn't
 fix anything, but maybe it would help show what's going on.

OK, let's back way up.  Apart from the confusing messages, it seems
like the real problem is related to this modprobe config line:

  options parport_pc io=0x378,0x278 irq=7,5

With that line present, I think you have:

  ad1816a MPU401 at port 0x300, irq disabled

A bit more precise:

Case A:

1. IRQs 7 and 5 reserved for ISA use only (in BIOS)
2. entry options parport_pc io=0x378,0x278 irq=7,5 in 
etc/modprobe.d/arch/i386 activated

  parport1 at port 0x278, irq 5
  ad1816a at ports 0x200 (ns558pnp - gameport), 0x388 (OPL 2,3), SS at 0x500, 
irq 10, dma 1  3
  ad1816a MPU401 at port 0x300, irq disabled

Case B:
same preconditions as above, but:
2. entry options parport_pc io=0x378,0x278 irq=7,5 in

IMHO what the bug reporter means is nfsd loads fine with non-openvz 
kernels (both 2.6.25 and 2.6.26), but fails to load with openvz 2.6.26 
kernel.

Kerry Larkan Live in Sri Lanka

The Talent War is the 21st century’s definitive guide to modern business 
corporations’ most pressing problems: identifying and attracting talented 
people, and inducing them to stay in the organisation.
As much of the developed world faces a rapidly ageing population and an 
entirely different mindset towards work emerges amongst a new generation of 
working individuals, companies nowadays can no longer rely on traditional, 
preset ideas and methods of attracting and retaining good staff. As the power 
of choice shifts from employer to employee, values and an ideal workplace 
environment will be more important than ever before for any business that hopes 
to be sustainable. a new dynamic between bosses and employees is imperative. 
Kerry Larkan’s The Talent War will show you how to become an ‘employer of 
choice’, and attract the best and the brightest on offer, and more crucially, 
to keep them working for you.

Bug#493479: test build

2008-08-12 Thread David Witbrodt


 hey Dave,
 I'm wondering if this is an occurrence of #494365. Can you test this
 build to see if it fixes this issue for you?
 
   http://people.debian.org/~dannf/bugs/494365/

Thanks for the test build.

I just tried it, but the behavior remains unchanged:  kernel freezes
unless the boot parameter hpet=disabled is supplied.

I read the 494365 BTS page first, and guessed that it probably would
not fix my issue:  when you replied that 494365 was later fixed
during 2.6.27 development by [8004dd965b13b01a96def054d420f6df7ff22d53]
I knew that this test build kernel would not fix mine.  After I took
Bastian's advice to bisect using git, I ended up with a nice git tree
which I could use to obtain any version I wanted to test.  One of the
first things the LKML folks asked me to do was build an up-to-date
2.6.27 kernel, and I found it also freezes.

Please note:  my last message in this thread pretty much begged for
a Debian Kernel Team member to go to bat for me because I felt that
the LKML people were not going to respond.  I was wrong.  After I did
some more digging, and added RCU problem to the subject line in my
LKML posts, it started getting more attention.  Since Saturday there
has been much discussion, though not really any progress besides ruling
out what the problem is not, but the right folks are scratching there
heads about it.

If someone on the kernel team did raise awareness for me with the
kernel folks, I really appreciate it.  In any case, it has been noticed
at LKML, and I was asking for no more than that.


Thanks Dann,
Dave W.

Bug#494822: linux-image-2.6.25-2-686: DVD-writing with VIA IDE controller produce kernel error hdd: status timeout

2008-08-12 Thread Olivier Cailloux
Package: linux-image-2.6.25-2-686
Version: 2.6.25-7
Severity: normal

When I use the writing-capabilities (in simulation!), after a while, the 
(simulated) writing process will terminate and my syslog begins to get 
filled with plenty of repeated kernel error messages related to my 
DVD-writer. My DVD-writer, from that time on, is unusable until
the next reboot. The only thing I found to stop kernel error logging is 
to unload the ide_cd_mod module.

Here attached, you will find my setup and what I exactly did to 
produce the problem. Please note that the first DVD-writing attempt did 
NOT trigger the error, thus I guess there is some randomness included. 
But I got the problem each time I tried to write at speed=1 (I guess, 
because the time to terminate the process is longer so more chance to 
trigger the problem).

Bug#494842: versatile kernel doesn't boot

2008-08-12 Thread Martin Michlmayr
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.26-2
Severity: serious

The current versatile kernel doesn't boot in QEMU.  This bug should
not stop 2.6.26 from migrating to testing though since versatile is
not a platform that is used a lot.

Aurelien Jarno looked at the problem and found:

| It's because I have enabled tickless options in the kernel. I don't
| know if it is actually a qemu or a kernel problem, but given we are
| close to the release, the best is simply to disable this options.
| Unfortunately I am afraid this will change the ABI...

I'll disable the option when we change the ABI.

Bug#479709: reopened

2008-08-12 Thread Michael Meskes
I can confirm that a) the patch is applied and b) the system still freezes.
Thus I reopen the bug. I ran 2.6.26 without a problem for quite some time until
I discovered that my chrony still wasn't starting. After starting it again the
system froze in a matter of seconds. Could anyone of you NOT experiencing the
problem so far try running chrony to see whether this triggers it? Also for
those of you having the same problem, does disabling chrony help?

Thanks a lot for your detailed observations.

Your dmesg logs are still missing the interesting part at the beginning.
Can you find the entire log in /var/log/messages or something similar?

These lines are from your case C log, but the same thing probably
happened in case B:

  parport_pc 00:0a: reported by Plug and Play ACPI
  parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP(,...)]
  parport_pc 00:0a: driver attached
  parport1: PC-style at 0x278 [PCSPP(,...)]

We found parport0 via PNPACPI, but you mentioned that parport1 is a
non-PNP ISA card with jumpers on it.  In that case, the parport_pc
driver doesn't try to use an IRQ unless one is specified with a
module parameter.  It's possible the driver could guess somehow,
but I don't know enough to propose any changes here.

I think you could use options parport_pc io=0x278 irq=5, i.e.,
you probably only need to tell the driver about the non-PNP
device.

 Case C:
 same preconditions as case B, but additionally:
 1. no IRQs reserved for ISA use only (in BIOS)
 This option I would call PNP pure
 
   parport0 at port 0x378, irq 7
   parport1 at port 0x278, irq disabled (polling)
   ad1816a at ports 0x200 (ns558pnp), 0x388 (OPL 2,3), SS at 0x500, irq 5, dma 
 1  3
   ad1816a MPU401 at port 0x300, irq disabled

The only difference here is that the MPU has no IRQ.  You can see from
the log how all the possibilities (5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 15) are already
used by ad1816a, parport0, and some PCI devices.

With IRQs 5  7 reserved for ISA use, PCI device 00:08.0 (aic7xxx)
uses IRQ 11.  With no IRQs reserved, that device uses IRQ 10.  Without
the beginning of the log, I can't tell whether Linux or the BIOS
changed that assignment.

PNP is supposed to notice IRQs that are in use by active PNP
devices, as well as those that could possibly be used, so we can try
to avoid them when we configure PCI interrupt links.  But it looks
like some of this logic is missing from ISAPNP.  Can you try the
experimental patch below to see whether it helps?  It won't change
parport, of course, but you might get an MPU IRQ.

 If the parallel ports only have 5 and 7 as IRQ possibilities, I
 can imagine how loading the ad1816a driver first might claim those
 IRQs, leaving them unavailable for parport_pc.
 
 Yes and No.
 IRQ 7 for parport 0 is out of discussion, as it is the traditional standard 
 for the first parport.
 The traditional problem causing system crashes in earlier times was that both
 sound card and parport 1 would claim IRQ 5. The decision to put the second 
 parport into polling mode
 while the PnP sound card grabs IRQ 5 is wrong.

I don't think the kernel has enough information to make a different
decision.  The kernel doesn't know anything about the configuration
of the non-PNP ISA card.  I think you'd have to use a boot parameter
like pnp_reserve_irq=5 to tell Linux that it can't use IRQ 5 when
it configures the sound card.

 ...
 My only criticism within the desired case C (no additional screwing around 
 done by user)
 consists of two points:
 1. I'd prefer the second parport running with IRQ 5 instead of in polling 
 mode.

Yes, that would be good.  But I think the only way to achieve this
reliably is to use the pnp_reserve_irq=5 kernel parameter and the
options parport_pc io=0x278 irq=5 module parameter.  Otherwise the
kernel doesn't know how the jumpers on the ISA parport card are set.

 2. the state of MPU 401 is OK so far, but the messages are highly annoying:
 
 pnp: the driver 'mpu 401' has been registered
 MPU-401 device not found or device busy
 pnp: the driver 'mpu 401' has been unregistered

I think we ought to just remove this message completely and add a
new message when the driver claims a device, something like the
attached patch does.

I find Linux sound completely incomprehensible myself.  Fortunately,

Bug#494875: linux-image-2.6.25-2-686-bigmem: hangs after a while

2008-08-12 Thread VALKAI Elod
Package: linux-image-2.6.25-2-686-bigmem
Version: 2.6.25-7
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system


I've upgraded recently to kernel 2.6.25, used it for a while (couple of hourse,
it's not on my primary machine). 

Today I noticed that it produces random hangs. First it crashed while doing a 
partimage from sda to sda. 

After that (and after doing an upgrade to 2.6.25-7 - it was 6 before, so it 
affects both packages) it hung while copying from sda to sdb (a USB hdd).

The hang is the same in both cases: console is still active (receives 
keystrokes)
but no command gets through. I can switch consoles, though (Alt-F1, Alt-F2) but
obviously none of them work.

I can press SysReq, and reboot from there. 2.6.24-7 is stable so far.

  1. I'd prefer the second parport running with IRQ 5 instead of in polling

 Yes, that would be good.  But I think the only way to achieve this
 reliably is to use the pnp_reserve_irq=5 kernel parameter and the
 options parport_pc io=0x278 irq=5 module parameter.  Otherwise the
 kernel doesn't know how the jumpers on the ISA parport card are set.

One more thing: since you have a non-PNP ISA card, I don't think
you can reliably use a pure PNP approach.  In addition to the
kernel and module parameters, I think you need to configure the
BIOS to reserve IRQ 5 for ISA use.  Otherwise, the BIOS might put
some other device on IRQ 5.

Of course, if you are content to run the second parport in polling
mode, you wouldn't need the BIOS configuration.

Bug#451422: pulseaudio: CPU time limit exhausted after resume

2008-08-12 Thread Michal Politowski
Something datapointish, maybe.

My problem is also with pulseaudio exhausting the time limit,
and I also use snd-hda-intel (on an Asus M2A-VM motherboard).

But some things are different.
It also happens after a fresh start, not only after resume,
and it only started occuring with linux-image-2.6.26-1-686 (2.6.26-2),
or at least I couldn't yet reproduce it with my previous
linux-image-2.6.25-2-686 (2.6.25-7). Maybe it just needs more time with the 
older
kernel, but with .26 it is pretty instant on this system.

 No. OpenVZ is an alternative. VServer is currently not supported because
 upstream is lets say in hibernation. There is simply no working patch
 available.

There is a working patch available as of yesterday for 2.6.25 and
2.6.25.2 which fixes both ext4 and xfs. It has had the 'dontuse' flag
removed and is considered pre5.

Bug#494922: initramfs-tools: fails to include the ext4 module into the initramfs.

2008-08-12 Thread Wei Hu
Package: initramfs-tools
Severity: normal

I switched my root fs from ext3 to ext4. The initramfs built by initramfs-tools 
doesn't include the ext4 module, making the system unbootable. I removed the 
package and installed yaird, which correctly identifies the dependency on ext4.
