Bug#477233: linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64: Got *my* problem solved meanwhile

2009-02-18 Thread Rainer Koenig
Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64
Followup-For: Bug #477233


Meanwhile I got the problem fixed on my machine. I still don't 
understand why, because the final steps to solve it are the same 
I tried out already before filing my other response, but then 
without solving it.

The problem on my machine occured after an upgrade from Etch to Lenny, so
after changing the kernel from 2.6.18-6-amd64 to 2.6.26-1-amd64. The impact
was, that even with all the good looking stuff in /proc/asound I couldn't
hear anything from the speakers.

Today I tried again, running alsaconf in a terminal window. First all other
sound apps were killed, then alsaconf detected an ICH6 sound card and configured
it. At the end of the configuration I heard at least a click from the 
speakers.
Executing playsound with a Wave file (e.g. from gnome-audio packet) then 
played
the sound. 

Restarting KDEs sound system then also was able to play the KDE sounds and 
finally
this also survives a complete reboot cycle. So I guess my problem is solved, but
since I already tried out alsaconfig once without luck I'm still wondering what 
was
different this time.

Thanks for your attention.
Rainer

Bug#515866: MacBook Pro keyboard unresponsive at LUKS prompt with kernels = 2.6.27

 When I boot a 2.6.27 or later kernel on my MacBook Pro and try to
 enter my passphrase at the LUKS prompt, nothing happens.  This appears
 to be
 
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/310460
 
 The attached script, when put in /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks, includes
 the hid-apple module in the initrd if it's available, which fixes the
 problem.
 
 It would be helpful to have something like this included in the
 standard initramfs-tools package.  I have a couple questions about how
 it should behave, though:
 
  * Should it only include the module if LUKS is in use?
  * Should it only include the module if the module is needed for
 * this computer model (i.e., a MacBook Pro)
 * any of the attached keyboards (what about keyboards that are
   attached later?)
?
  * What about other the hid-* modules?

thanks a lot for submitting your bug report,
this is fixed in latest initramfs-tools by syncing the Ubuntu fix
to add all the hid-* modules to initramfs.
see http://git.debian.org/?p=kernel/initramfs-tools.git;a=summary
or git clonegit://git.debian.org/kernel/initramfs-tools.git

plan to upload soonest current master as 0.93.

Bug#515956: linux-image-2.6.26-1-alpha-generic: 2.6.26-1-alpha-generic fails to boot on DS10 (Tsunami)

2009-02-18 Thread Thibaut VARENE
Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-alpha-generic
Version: 2.6.26-13
Severity: normal

Hi,

Right after the release of Lenny, I upgraded my Compaq AlphaServer DS1Â0 which 
was previous running Etch.

Everything went rather smoothly, until I tried to reboot the system: the new 
kernel fails to load.

aboot stops at loading compressed vmlinuz, and then nothing happens. The 
previous Etch kernel (2.6.18) still boots just fine.

I'm not quite sure how to debug this, is there any specific info to provide?

Bug#515982: linux-image-2.6-486: Cannot boot on i486

2009-02-18 Thread Bas Wijnen
Package: linux-image-2.6-486
Version: 2.6.26+17
Severity: Grave
Justification: Makes package unusable

Installing lenny on a 486 is not possible, because the installer kernel
cannot boot.  Upgrading from Etch will work, but only if the old kernel
continues to be used.

When trying to boot the kernel, it seems to panic immediately (I can't
really check, because my hercules monitor doesn't allow scrollback).  I
copied the crash message (by hand, so it may contain some typos, and I
left some numbers out; please ask if they are important, it's easy to
reproduce, if you have the hardware).  Below is the text that's on
screen after trying to boot.  I also included the output of
/proc/cpuinfo (when using Etch's 2.6.18 kernel).  The cache is switched
off to make sure that wasn't the problem; the result is identical if I
do switch it on.

Thanks,
Bas

Bug#515956: linux-image-2.6.26-1-alpha-generic: 2.6.26-1-alpha-generic fails to boot on DS10 (Tsunami)

 Hi,
 
 Right after the release of Lenny, I upgraded my Compaq AlphaServer DS1Â0 
 which was previous running Etch.
 
 Everything went rather smoothly, until I tried to reboot the system: the new 
 kernel fails to load.
 
 aboot stops at loading compressed vmlinuz, and then nothing happens. The 
 previous Etch kernel (2.6.18) still boots just fine.
 
 I'm not quite sure how to debug this, is there any specific info to provide?
 
 HTH

19:39 vorlon abrotman: upgrade the aboot on your disk
19:39 abrotman isn't that part of the upgrade process from etch-lenny ?
19:39 vorlon no
19:39 vorlon we never change the boot block on upgrade

can you confirm to have been hit by this?

 can you check if 2.6.28 trunk buildserver images are fine inbetween?

They give the same panic, with almost the same output (now it's at

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.91e
Severity: normal

Invoking mkinitramfs using -d conf where conf is a relative path results
in cpio bailing out:

cpoio: ./conf/initramfs.conf: Cannot stat: No such file or directory

Providing an absolute path makes this go away. I therefore suggest
adding a note to the mkinitramfs manpage or internally finding the real
path.

Package: initramfs-tools

When I boot a 2.6.27 or later kernel on my MacBook Pro and try to
enter my passphrase at the LUKS prompt, nothing happens.  This appears
to be

 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/310460

The attached script, when put in /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks, includes
the hid-apple module in the initrd if it's available, which fixes the
problem.

It would be helpful to have something like this included in the
standard initramfs-tools package.  I have a couple questions about how
it should behave, though:

 * Should it only include the module if LUKS is in use?
 * Should it only include the module if the module is needed for
* this computer model (i.e., a MacBook Pro)
* any of the attached keyboards (what about keyboards that are
  attached later?)
   ?
 * What about other the hid-* modules?

Version: 0.92o
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu jaunty ubuntu-patch

The final stage of mkinitramfs that builds the image does not verify the
exit codes of find or cpio:

(cd ${DESTDIR}  find . | cpio --quiet --dereference -o -H newc | gzip 
${outfile}) || exit 1

Once bug 514936 is solved, this will be even more important, since cpio
will actually return errors.  In bash, there is support for checking more
than just the final pipe command's exit code via the pipefail option.

Attached patch adds this behavior, and make sure the script uses bash (to
avoid future dash/bash migration issues).

Current behavior:

$ find /fail | cpio --quiet --dereference -o -H newc | gzip  /tmp/archive.gz
find: `/fail': No such file or directory
$ echo $?
0

Desired behavior:

$ set -o pipefail
$ find /fail | cpio --quiet --dereference -o -H newc | gzip  /tmp/archive.gz
find: `/fail': No such file or directory
$ echo $?
1


Also, I would recommend adding -e to the shell to catch single-command
failures during execution, though that's out of scope for this particular
bug.

Thanks!

scripts/init-premount/thermal always tries to load the fan and
thermal kernel module on i386|amd64|ia64 architecture. When booting
with acpi=off this generally fails AFAICS and you'll get FATAL:
Error inserting fan ... No such device messages during initramfs

Hello,

When  trying  to write  an  initramfs hook  script,  I  didn't find  any
explanation in initramfs-tools.8.gz about environment variables exported
for  hook scripts,  except  $DESTDIR.   I was  actually  trying to  find
something  such  as  $MODULESDIR.Could  you  please  document  these

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.92b
Severity: wishlist

One wishes there is nothing shown on the console upon boot that is not
also captured somewhere in /var/log/.

dmesg(1), /var/log/dmesg, /var/log/boot capture almost everything,
except (99%?) for the initramfs-tools messages. Perhaps merge them into
dmesg, so one can see a playback exactly like what was on the console,
before they flew off before anyone can figure them out, and too far
for Shift PageUp to find.

Please make capturing the default, and disabling an option for expert
users. Yes, the initramfs-tools man pages mentions some logging
options, but all basic users know is they can see most of what went by
so fast by looking in /var/log/, except for a few lines that turn out
to be initramfs-tools message, and they wish they were also in
/var/log/ by default, without needing to adjust any fancy tools...

Another problem is identifying who is doing the talking. Apparently
lines with the fractional seconds prefixes are the kernel.

Lines without are the boot scripts... and also initramfs-tools...
All very clear for power users, but not for non-power users.

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.92b
Severity: important

(Severity important because it renders the system unbootable; not RC
because it does not apply to all configurations.)

The initramfs scripts cannot handle a label containing '/'.  For
example, if I boot with root=LABEL=/alt-root , I get a message saying
the initramfs could not find /dev/disk/by-label//alt-root .  From the
initramfs shell, echo /dev/disk/by-label/* showed
/dev/disk/by-label/\x2falt-root .  However, on the booted system I see
/dev/disk/by-label/alt-root.

Note that both /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init and
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount/resume deal with
labels.

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.92f

On OLPC machines, root is a nand device that is mounted as mtd0 (it is
neither a block device nor a char device).  The arguments passed to the
kernel are ro root=mtd0 rootfstype=jffs2.

Unfortunately, attempting to use an initrd based upon initramfs-tools
on such a machine results in a kernel panic and a syntax error.


Begin: Mounting root file system ... /init: line 172: syntax error:
0xmtd0

The probably appears to be in parse_numeric(); the init scripts assume
that normal devices are always prefixed with /, and root= strings that
aren't are raw device numbers (prefixing them with 0x).  I'm not sure
if there are other devices similar to mtd that don't begin with a /.

When I run mkinitramfs with a / or /boot on a partition over 9 (in
my example sda13), I get the following error:
mkinitramfs: missing sda1 root /dev/sda13 /sys entry
the problem is on line 289 of hook-functions, which reads:
block=${block%[0-9]*}
it can be solved making it this way:
block=${block%%[0-9]*}

  Right after the release of Lenny, I upgraded my Compaq AlphaServer DS1Â0 
  which was previous running Etch.
  
  Everything went rather smoothly, until I tried to reboot the system: the 
  new kernel fails to load.
  
  aboot stops at loading compressed vmlinuz, and then nothing happens. The 
  previous Etch kernel (2.6.18) still boots just fine.
  
  I'm not quite sure how to debug this, is there any specific info to provide?

 19:39 vorlon abrotman: upgrade the aboot on your disk
 19:39 abrotman isn't that part of the upgrade process from etch-lenny ?
 19:39 vorlon no
 19:39 vorlon we never change the boot block on upgrade

 can you confirm to have been hit by this?

This is bug #480014.  Sorry for not having followed through on this prior to
the lenny release; given the lack of feedback about this issue leading up to
release, I guess there aren't a whole lot of alpha users left to worry about
it.

This is something I think we should get fixed for 5.0.1.

Hi,

This was already included in an initramfs-tools release, but was the reverted

the two postinst schemes to coexist without conflict.  Please consider

Running swriteboot /dev/sda /boot/bootlx -f1 allowed me to boot the  
new kernel. AFAICT, this wasn't mentioned in the release notes...


Still, it's still a no go: with the new kernel booted, I can no longer

  can you check if 2.6.28 trunk buildserver images are fine inbetween?
 
 They give the same panic, with almost the same output (now it's at
 text_poke_early+0x3e/0x4e, but the Code is the same).

text_poke_early() is patching code sequences that need to be changed
dynamically.  The problem seems to be that it itself contains such a code
sequence!  The bytes 8d b4 26 00 00 00 00 match GENERIC_NOP7 and the
instruction pointer in this crash points into the middle of those, which
suggests that they've just been changed.  I think this is something to
do with the tracing added by CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT.

Ben.

  I'm doing the dialing from minicom, And I've tried using the mgetty

  make no difference. I've also tried replacing the login deb with the one
  from the older systems, but that also does not seem to make any
  difference.
 
 This hints more at problems with the USB tty drivers.  
 
 As in if an application does stupid things like 'query serial lines 
 status' then just hang, instead of returning useful information -
 otherwise there would be something in the mgetty log.
 
 Is debian using a modified kernel, or bog standard Linus distribution
 kernel?  You might want to try an off the shelf kernel...

Well, there is no real standard kernel. I would also recommend to
try a few different linux kernel versions (also older ones from
Debian).

I copied the debian kernel mailinglist, perhaps there's some good
input from there.

Bug#516018: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686: System shutdown fails (no poweroff)

2009-02-18 Thread Willi Mann
Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686
Version: 2.6.26-13
Severity: normal

I'm reporting this bug from a different machine than the machine the problem 
appears on, so I deleted the system information.

When I hit the powerbutton, or choose shutdown from the kdm menu which I 
configured to invoke /sbin/poweroff, the computer does complete the system 
poweroff. Instead it prints the following messages:

Shutdown: hda
ACPI: Preparing to enter system sleep state S5
Disabling non-boot CPUs ...
CPU 1 is now offline
SMP alternatives: switching to UP code

I'm not sure if this is a kernel bug, please reassign if appropriate.

I meant the computer does *not* complete the system shutdown. And that
applies to only about half of all system shutdowns, so it is not a

Is this a 2.4.X kernel?  I had the same problem with a Multi-Tech ACM 
based USB modem.  The
issue is that the ACM tty driver is not finished in 2.4.X kernels.   The 
tty is treated as raw and there
is no cooked I/O.  This is not an issue if you are using ppp perhaps but 
if you want access to the CLI

via modem it will not work.

Package: linux-image-2.6.15-1-sparc64-smp
Version: 2.6.15-8
Severity: important

This error repeatadly happens, and is the main reason sparc is no
longer considered a release architecture, but I could not find a bug
filed for it.

Running with a serial consoled logged to another system, I was able to
catch the error messages.  They arn't completely consistant, so I'm
including them all below.  (A couple of weeks worth on my sparc
pbuilder system.)

Speculation: there has been a report that heavy disk I/O causes this
problem.  Since many of the messages have truncated kernel fault
messages, I guess that the system buffers a kernel fault message, then
tries to dump core causing a fault in the fault handler.  (I think
that's what a RED state exception is.)  Adding a delay or turning off
the kernel core dump may allow the full error message to be displayed.
The doubled characters may be due to both processors printing the same
message at the same time.

(All the RED state excpetion lines below were followed by the normal
reboot messages.)

initramfs-tools 0.93 status report

2009-02-18 Thread maximilian attems

initramfs-tools git repo:
git clone git://git.debian.org/kernel/initramfs-tools.git

initramfs-tools is an hookable initramfs generator.
It can boot on NFS, LVM2, md, LUKS, dmraid, oldstyle devices, ..
The generated initramfs is generic, but can explicitly be tuned for small.
It is actively deployed in Debian and Ubuntu. It is written in POSIX shell.
It has an end-user friendly invocation with update-initramfs and the low
level mkinitramfs. klibc is used for minimal initramfs. The initramfs
comes together with a rescue shell. It is possible to ssh into it.
run-init nukes initramfs, remounts /root, chroots, spawns init.

It may currently be distro specific as many Debian packages ship hooks
for it (udev, mdadm, cryptsetup, lvm2, ..). But it should be quite easy
to make it non distro specific and fix debianism (add a rpm spec, ..).

initramfs-tools is badly hit on the linux-2.6 side by races due to
SCSI_WAIT_SCAN being implemented only in some scsi drivers and
not at all on usb and scsi side.  willy had this patch to fix it:
http://www.parisc-linux.org/~willy/libata-async-2.diff


0.93 features:
- OLPC support
- hid_* modules addition
- fixes for MODULES=dep high minor partitions and Xen virtual block dev
- make deb-pkg linux-2.6 target support
- find, cpio exit codes no longer ignored
- fixes for LABEL strings with '/' 
- misc cleanups
- doc fixes


TODO:
- monolithical linux support
- MODULES=dep special case raid on top of lvm
- mawk support??
- loopback fs support (ubuntu merge)
- mount failure hooks (ubuntu merge)
- fix bugs http://bugs.debian.org/src:initramfs-tools


thanks for hacking on it, sending in patches advices or whatever.

Hello Steve,

the network driver is depca the SCSI is aha1740.
I have tried to compile a new kernel with CONFIG_ALPHA_JENSEN=y (on a

 I have applied two small patches to the kernel source according to

Just waiting the compile to finish. (It has passed pci-noop.c already).
Included direct support for aha1740 and depca (not modules).

I will try to update the kernel on the install cd and will inform you if it
is working with the newly compiled kernel.

  Comments/Problems:
  Trying to boot the Debian 5.0 netboot install image fails to detect CD
  and/or network card (DE422). It boots up to the install screen just fine,
  but without CD/network card support unable to install base system. (scsi
  controller- aha1742 (eisa), network card - de422 (eisa)

 Do you know what kernel drivers are supposed to be used for these devices?
 possibly aha1740 for the SCSI card, but I don't have a guess as to which
 driver should be used for the network card.

 Is there any attempt made to load these drivers, or are they missing from
 the installer?  (The aha1740 driver is present in the scsi-modules udeb, so
 should be available / automatically loaded.)

  As far as I can recall from my memory Jensen needed a special kernel
  (CONFIG_ALPHA_JENSEN=y).

 That would be a bug in the kernel's Jensen support, then.  We haven't used
 per-subarch kernel images for alpha in Debian for a long time (not since
 they were required for MILO), and the generic kernel is expected to work on
 all alphas without the need for per-subarch hacks.

Bug#515125: general: cpu frequency scalling crashes my system

 when enabled AMD Quiet'n'cool in BIOS (the CPU frequency scalling) and have
 installed CPUFreq package, it very often happens that system crashes totally.

Hi Mark,

I had similar problems with my AMD64 system. Whenever frequency scaling
was enabled the machine would crash within a few hours of operation,
even when it was idle. The kernel would oops a few times before finally
locking up.

I also saw video and database corruption, but generally the system was
stable.

The problem was a BIOS bug. It started when I increased my system RAM to
4 DIMMs. The CPU (AMD64 939 pin x2 4800) can't handle 4 DIMMs at the
full speed of 400MHz; the BIOS is supposed to automatically slow the RAM
down to 333MHz in this case, but that didn't work on my Gigabyte K8NS
Ultra 939. I slowed the RAM down manually and the system is now
perfectly stable.

Maybe something like this is happening to you too. Memory tests did not
show any fault by the way.

RFC: Firmware removal

2009-02-18 Thread Ben Hutchings
Now that lenny is out, it's time for an update on this.

I wrote:
 No word from Sun re Cassini.

Still no word, I've tried contacting Simon Phipps now.

 There is a FreeBSD driver for the Kawasaki USB network chips (kaweth
 driver) under 4-clause BSD but the stated copyright holder for the
 firmware is the driver author, which is not correct.  I will try
 contacting him.

Bill Paul wrote:
 First, look here:
 
 http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/KLSI
 
 These are all of the files that I originally received from Kawasaki LSI
 when I first contacted them about writing a driver, as I originally
 received them. This includes the file containing the firmwre image. I
 was never given any firmware source. You will note that there are no
 copyright headers at all, and when I spoke to the Kawasaki representative
 on the phone the subject of copyright on the firmware image never came up.

I wrote:
 No news from Tehuti, but I found firmware in OpenBSD under 4-clause BSD.

Pinchas Ziv (CEO of Tehuti) wrote:
 We are satisfied with the last statement:
 
 Permission is hereby granted for the distribution of this firmware data
 in hexadecimal or equivalent format, provided this copyright notice is
 accompanying it.

I wrote:
 WhiteHEAT hardware is still avalable so there may be some mileage in
 contacting the manufacturer.

I talked back and forth with them and they seemed to be happy to fix the
license text but I never got a final statement of what exactly it would
be.

I think we should move ahead with removal of sourceless firmware, but
include everything we have clear permission to distribute in the
non-free section.  This would exclude the 3 blobs mentioned above and
several others that are already stripped from Debian kernels.

I propose that future versions of firmware-nonfree, or a second firmware
source package, should be based on the firmware directory of Linux
releases, using a script to exclude the files with unclear license
status.  The contents of the firmware directory should be excluded from
the linux-2.6 package except where source is available.

Of the 13 sourceless firmware blobs I was aware of in the lenny kernel,
several have subsequently been moved to the firmware directory:

- 2.6.27: dabusb, dsp56k (with source), kaweth, whiteheat
- 2.6.28: cassini
- 2.6.29: e100, starfire
- linux-next: qla1280

The remaining firmware - found in mga, r128, radeon, tehuti, typhoon -
is at least clearly redistributable.

Before I spend (and possibly waste) time in preparing packages, I'd like
to get people's opinions on this proposal.

Ben.

Re: Forthcoming changes in kernel-package

 Hi,
 
 This is a heads up for a major change in kernel-package, the
  tool to create user packaged kernel images and headers; which will
  make the make-kpkg script far less error prone, and far more
  deterministic.
 
a. Every invocation of kernel-package will remove ./debian directory,
   and regenerate the changelog and control files. This will get rid
   of any remaining issues with the ./debian directory getting out of
   sync with the kernel sources; and will allow people to make small
   tweaks to the kernel sources and have  make-kpkg reflect those
   changes.

Is there going to be a way for people to replace the changelog with
one that contains useful information in that case?  I've been doing
this by doing a make-kpkg configure and then editing the
debian/changelog file afterwards...

BTW, I have a set of patches you might want to consider.  I'll file
them in BTS if you're currently making make-kpkg.

Bug#515826: your mail

2009-02-18 Thread Steve Langasek
On Wed, Feb 18, 2009 at 11:40:44PM +0100, Istvan Gyenes wrote:
 Hello Steve,

 the network driver is depca the SCSI is aha1740.

Ok.  The depca driver is in the nic-extra-modules udeb and the aha1740 is in
the scsi-modules udeb, so both of these are available to the installer.

Can you check the installer logs to see what happens when the kernel tries
to load these drivers?

 Just waiting the compile to finish. (It has passed pci-noop.c already).
 Included direct support for aha1740 and depca (not modules).

 I will try to update the kernel on the install cd and will inform you if it
 is working with the newly compiled kernel.

I wish you luck with this build, but that won't be a fix that can be applied
to the Debian package; we need to have this working with the stock Debian
kernel image, built with ALPHA_GENERIC set.

It's possible that the kernel's Documentation/eisa.txt provides some
guidance here:

** Kernel parameters :
[...]
  virtual_root.force_probe :

  Force the probing code to probe EISA slots even when it cannot find an
  EISA compliant mainboard (nothing appears on slot 0). Defaultd to 0
  (don't force), and set to 1 (force probing) when either
  CONFIG_ALPHA_JENSEN or CONFIG_EISA_VLB_PRIMING are set.

Perhaps you could try passing virtual_root.force_probe=1 as a kernel option
when booting the installer, to see if that fixes the problem for you?
