Quoting Ben Hutchings (b...@decadent.org.uk):
 reassign 595914 kernel-wedge
 thanks
 
 The BCM57780 needs a separate PHY driver module.  It looks like these
 aren't currently packaged in d-i.  You should include
 kernel/drivers/net/phy/*.ko in an appropriate package, presumably
 nic-extra-modules-*.


Thanks for the complete analysis that well completes my original wild
guess analysis, Ben.

Otavio, you're the most familiar person with kernel-wedge. I suspect
that the above suggestion is trivial to apply when one exactly knows
what to do..:-)

 Then how about convincing the Debian kernel developers to accept these
 patches, and work through any regressions that might be found and 
 after
 that, reporting back to us?

Ben?

The reason I contacted you was precisely because it went into 2.6.33.2,
e.g. was already accepted into a -stalbe release. I didn't expect it to
be such an issue.
   
   That's not likely if people spread FUD about the backlog patches!
   
   Dave, did you explicitly exclude these patches from 2.6.32 when you
   submitted them to stable, or is it just that 5534979 udp: use limited
   socket backlog depends on a1ab77f ipv6: udp: Optimise multicast
   reception?  The former patch doesn't look too hard to backport to
   2.6.32 (see below).
  
  Anybody?
  We've currently rolled out our own 2.6.32 kernel with these fixes
  applied, and they indeed fix a system crash under our nfs-load. What
  else can I do to get these fixes into either Debians' 2.6.32 or Greg's
  stable 2.6.32 series?
 [...]
 
 These patches will be included in Debian's version 2.6.32-22.  We'll see
 how that goes.

I owe you a few beers. Thanks a million!

 Ben.

Lukas

Bug#534422: Still memory corruption problems

2010-09-09 Thread Marten van Kerkwijk
Dear Kernel maintainers,

I have been having on-and-off memory corruption problems after hibernate
on my Thinkpad X200 (with intel graphics).  The symptoms are similar to
those described in this report and the others: sometimes a hang after
hibernate (after loading the resume image, either before or after X
resumes), sometimes segfaults on any new process.  I attach an oops
that was caught in syslog, but often nothing appears in the logs.

After reading this bug report, I had hoped these problems were resolved,
but they sadly do not seem to be (neither for 2.6.32-5-amd64 (Debian
2.6.32-21) currently in testing, nor for 2.6.35-trunk-amd64 (Debian
2.6.35-1~experimental.3) currently in experimental).

I realise this may not be the most helpful report; please let me know if
different information would be useful.

With all best regards,

Marten

Sending speakup upstream

2010-09-09 Thread Ben Hutchings
I'm a member of the Debian Linux kernel team.

We have a general policy that any features added to the kernel package
should already have been accepted for inclusion in some later upstream
version of Linux.  If a driver has not been accepted then it should be
packaged separately.  We have made an exception for speakup so that it
can be used during installation, but we do not want to carry this patch
indefinitely.

I talked to Greg Kroah-Hartman about this briefly and he would welcome a
submission of speakup for inclusion under 'staging'.  Is there any
reason not to do this?

Ben.
