Removing pseudo package kernel

Is there any point in keeping the pseudo package kernel,
which still has another 63 bugs? It may have been useful
in times, where 12 different source packages existed for
the kernels, but seems like a useless duplication of
linux-2.6 nowadays.

If noone disagrees, I'll poke submitters of the existing
bugs, reassign them to linux-2.6 and ask the Debian BTS
maintainers to remove the pseudo bug.

Cheers,
Moritz

Bug#416208: Installation report HP-715/64 (HIL)

2008-12-24 Thread Frans Pop

 [Forwarding to debian-b...@lists.debian.org]

Why not (also) reassign the BR to debian-installer?

 Can that be considered for rc2?

Theoretically that would still be possible, but it is extremely late in 
the day for such a change, especially without any detailed info about how 
*exactly* this should be implemented.

Questions that come to mind are:
- why doesn't the kernel/udev autoload this module?
- is there any way to recognize whether the module should be loaded or
  not (most hppa installs are headless)?
- if it's decided to load the module unconditionally for the installer,
  it may still be possible to only do so when needed for the installed
  system; can this be recognized somehow?
- is loading the module for the installed system needed for the initrd
  too (would be my guess), or just for the final system?

We have repeatedly indicated in the debian-hppa list that the D-I team 
needs porter support and this is *exactly* the kind of issue for which 
knowledgable porter support is needed. I even had a long discussion with 
Helge himself about that.

As this issue has been known for ages my first reaction is that it is too 
late for RC2 and for Lenny. However, *if* porters work with the D-I team 
to get the questions above answered the change could be implemented early 
for squeeze and, after testing, it could then be considered for 
backporting for a stable update release.

Cheers,
FJP

The boot-kernel (2.6.18) does not detect this keyboard on the HIL bus.
It seems the needed .config values are not set when it was built.
To solve this problem, the boot kernel needs the
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_HIL_OLD=y option set.
Additionally, all other HIL options should be disabled (see below).
With those options, the HIL keyboard should work. HIL-Mouse will not be
available, but it's not needed either for the installation process.
In general, all newer HIL drivers do not work at all, so defaulting back
to the old driver should be ok.
The Lenny kernel sets CONFIG_KEYBOARD_HIL_OLD=m, does this still apply?
Moritz, thanks for bringing this up again. I nearly forgot it!

I just tried the netboot image dated 30-10-08 from
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-hppa/current/images/netboot/2.6/.

Currently the debian installer boots up nicely, but the keyboard is not
functional at all (on machines with HIL keyboard).
My tests with booting via serial console shows, that all what needs to
be done to get those keyboards working now is, to run a
modprobe hilkbd
at startup.

Is it possible that someone from the debian-installer teams add this
modprobe hilkbd somewhere to the bootup process? This modprobe should
also be carried over to the installed system afterwards.

I'm willing to test any temporary images (preferably netboot images) as
soon as possible.

[Forwarding to debian-b...@lists.debian.org]

Can that be considered for rc2?

Yes, please.
I should have mentioned, that adding modprobe hilkbd will not break
any parisc machine which does not have HIL. So it's pretty safe to probe
for this module.

 When installing the base system, the installation seemed to stall on

 When I tried to manually copy the file (coreutils) the shell also blocked.
 The CD checked out OK. After I installed Debian using netboot, I tried to

 like the usb-audio device i have (a PDT cyberphone with mono
 capabilities), my Intel I440MX Cirrus Logic CS4299 (rev 6) has started
 being reported with volume as an INPUT device not an OUTPUT.
 
 the I440MX was not until about 2.6.9 detected as a CS4299.
 
 in 2.6.9 it was intermittently detected and reported by userspace
 programs as either an I440MX or a CS4299.
 
 when reported as an I440X, the volume was successfully shown on
 the output.
 
 after running shockwave flash and some jumbled garbage coming
 from the audio (my browser is running the flash plugin at 100%
 CPU on this 800Mhz machine and so hasn't got time to feed things
 like audio) resulting in ear-howling noise followed by silence,
 re-running kmix would definitely show up the device (now silent)
 as a CS4299.
 
 prior to shockwave messing things up, the device would show up as
 an I440MX.
 
 when running 2.6.10, it's always absolutely 100% guaranteed to
 show up as a CS4299 - again, 100% guaranteed to have the volume
 as an input.

 Mentioned boot.img uses kernel 2.6.15-1, this bug was probably solved in

 updated.

 UPDATE: 2.6.16 based installer ( from http://people.debian.org/

[This request is about the kernel module from ipset.netfilter.org]

External modules are not integrated into the regular Debian kernel

For ipset, you should package the kernel-related part of ipset into
a ipset-modules package and integrate the build into
the linux-modules-extra-2.6 meta package, so that it is automatically
build for all archs, see
http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/linux-modules-extra-2.6.html

scheduling 2.6.18/2.6.24 p-u uploads

2008-12-24 Thread dann frazier

hey,
 I plan to do an upload to p-u of both stable kernels tomorrow. Let me
know if you have additional changes you'd like to try and get in. Note
that there will likely be further p-u uploads before r7, but this
should help get the pending changes some testing in the meantime.

Bug#497593: new iwlwifi firmware available

As of December 24, 2008, and according to

 http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifin=downloads

The latest version for 3945 is 15.28.2.8
The latest version for 4965 is 228.57.2.23

It would be nice to get these updated in the non-free that will freeze
with lenny. I know the lenny kernel is frozen and that changing these
firmware blobs might introduce risk to people using these devices, I
think that because they are non-free the best option is to ship the
latest version for use with lenny for the following reasons.

* Ensure support for the most and newest devices
* Ensure support for new hardware for the longest amount of time
   before users need to backport or install by hand
* Ensure (hopefully) the least number of upstream bugs
* If a user running the current version has a problem, they would just
   be told to try the latest version. Better to provide the
   latest version by default and if a user has a problem, tell them
   to try an older version.
* Intel has their own QA process, debian shouldn't need to do it for
   them (especially for firmware and without source)

Thanks,

Bug#509693: new qlogic firmware available

Package: firmware-qlogic
Version: 0.14
Severity: wishlist

As of December 24, 2008, according to

  ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/outgoing/linux/firmware/CURRENT_VERSIONS

there are newer firmware versions available for

ql2300_fw.bin -- 3.03.27 IPX
ql2322_fw.bin -- 3.03.27 IPX
ql2400_fw.bin -- 4.04.05 IP
ql2500_fw.bin -- 4.04.05

The other versions in the Debian package are still up to date.

I think these should be updated for the version of the package that
will work with lenny, for the same reasons as described in #497593.

Thanks,

Bug#474200: iwlwifi hang

Hi Thomas,

The firmware versions that you mentioned having problems with in
#474200 are pretty old, the current firmware-iwlwifi package has
much newer. Can you try it and let us know if you still see the
problem?

Thanks,

 They will surely want a patch, a git patch, and all that will take me
 several years to learn, as I have just started...

MM For documentation I'm pretty sure that a regular text would suffice.

MM Cheers,

Looking at this (
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=330403 ) bug again,
it seems I'm in little position to make a patch, as I am pointing out
things I don't know, so CC'ing linux-doc.
