Libre Kernel .deb -- Looks for a Mentor

2010-09-18 Thread Aurélien DESBRIÈRES
Hi,

I have made .deb of the libre kernel 2.6.35.4 from fsfla.org
You can find them at :: http://www.fscorsica.org/kernel-en.html

I have tried to respect the maint-guide debian to create them.
To offer a free way staying under debian.

As the libre kernel source from fsfla.org need a receipe to be well
compiled i've create this page too to help people to made it bye
themself :: http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Libre_Kernel_Group

At this point I'm looking for a mentor, to progress and make thinks as
correct as possible.

Have a Happy Hacking Day!

Bug#597302: kernel panic at boot on SheevaPlug

2010-09-18 Thread Romain Francoise
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-22
Severity: important

With kernels 2.6.32-21 and -22 my SheevaPlug does not boot, it panics
when bringing up the network (console trace below). Adding ipv6.disable=1
to the command-line makes the system boot again.

I'm setting severity important rather than serious because I'm pretty
sure that this machine was previously running 2.6.32-21, but when I try
it now it fails just like -22. So I'm not sure if this is really a
kernel issue, or if it's triggered by a change elsewhere, or what...

 Hi guys,
 
 s390-tools, lilo, and elilo are the only bootloaders for which Breaks: were
 added in the recent upload.  However, there are reports[1],[2] of serious
 upgrade failures resulting from not upgrading grub before trying to upgrade
 the kernel; and the grub in lenny definitely does not comply with the new
 kernel hooks policy (/etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub only exists in
 the squeeze versions).  Is this an oversight, or is there some other
 explanation for why grub was being left in an inconsistent state for these
 users?

Official kernel packages have never invoked GRUB except by running hook
commands.  The installer used to set postinst_hook and postrm_hook in
/etc/kernel-img.conf to run update-grub, and the official kernel
packages still call those hooks.  I can only assume that these users
installed grub later and did not set the hooks, so their GRUB menus were
*never* updated.

 (Reopening the bug out of an abundance of caution; if lenny grub really
 doesn't need to be added to the Breaks, please close again - but please also
 let me know why, so we can write the release notes appropriately.)

I think the release notes should encourage people to update their boot
loader first.

Ben.

Hi,

 Thank you for replying so quickly. First of all, things are beginning to 
look a little
different as I am gaining more experience with the problem. Yesterday and the 
day before
it occurred in the midst of normal user activity exactly one hour after booting 
up and
logging in via GDM. Today the battery charge LED went on briefly without 
causing a
problem.

When the problem occurs, /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/messages show no (new) 
messages.

There is a message that appears upon boot and resume, not at the same time as 
the problem:

Atom PSE erratum detected, BIOS microcode update recommended

My so-called netbook does not show any brand name. On the back it says N270 
mini02 and
Made in China. There is also a tiny sticker with two very long numbers --- 
would they be
any help?

If I remember correctly, this makes one CPU feature (big pages)
unreliable, but the kernel automaticallly avoids using that feature.

 My so-called netbook does not show any brand name. On the back it says N270

GRUB would always 'break' when a new kernel package was installed if the
user or installer didn't set the hook command.  There has been no
incompatible change.

 Also the other architectures are missing.

No other architectures have an historical default boot loader that used
to be run automatically.

You seem to be confusing the driver and firmware versions.  The firmware

However, so far as I know the driver version went from 1.9.3 to 2.0.0
and there was no 1.9.26..

 This is and known bug and patched by Broadcom firmware 1.9.26.Current
 latest firmware version is 2.0.2 and debian firmware-bnx2 very
 out-of-date.

firmware-bnx2 in stable works with the bnx2 driver in stable.  Later
firmware versions probably won't.  We would have to update the driver
too, and I don't know whether we can do that without a high risk of
regressions.

2010-09-18 Thread Greg KH
From: Ben Hutchings b...@decadent.org.uk

This applies to 2.6.32 *only*.  It has not been applied upstream since
the limitation no longer exists.

Prior to Linux 2.6.35, net devices outside the initial net namespace
did not have sysfs directories.  Attempting to add attributes to
them will trigger a BUG().

Bug#571035: [Daily built 23. Aug 2010] Kernel freezes at boot

2010-09-18 Thread Holger Wansing
Hello,

maximilian attems m...@stro.at wrote:
 hmm so the ata generic driver might have a bug to not properly
 show up in /sys and thus not to land on initramfs.
  
  
  
  I know, that in the past, the module ide_generic was needed for
  this machine to access the harddisc.
 
 so to boot it I would simply add as quick dirty workaround
 echo ata-generic  /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
 
 and then rebuild that 2.6.32-5 initramfs

I did a complete new installation with the same image as before from
23. Aug 2010, it was an expert installation, but I accepted all
default values, so no custom things were done, apart from this:
Just before the initrd is generated, I added ata-generic to 
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules (on the second console).
That way, the ata-generic got included in the initrd.

When I boot now, the root filesystem still cannot be found.


Some output from the initramfs-shell:

(initramfs) cat /proc/modules
ide_gd_mod 17175 0 - Live 0xc295f000
ide-core 59674 1 ide_gd_mod, Live 0xc2939000
fan 2590 0 - Live 0xc282a000
thermal 9210 0 - Live 0xc290b000
ata_generic 2015 0 - Live 0xc282
libata 117275 1 ata_generic, Live 0xc288c000
scsi_mod 102265 1 libata, Live 0xc2863000

(initramfs) cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-486 root=/dev/hda1 ro all_generic_ide quiet

(initramfs) ls /dev/[hs]da*
ls /dev/[hs]da*: No such file or directory

(initramfs) ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/
ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/: No such file or directory



 if that boots, I'd like to get the output of
 tree /sys
 
 thanks

 maks


As this does not boot, I tried again a new installation, and forced to
add ide_generic to the initrd, and that works! The machine boots fine
with ide_generic.
But as this is an obsolete driver, you may not be interested in info
about this.


Thanks

Holger

 I installed 2.6.32-20 and verified that it does work.  I don't have

And you don't have a serial console you can connect to this machine?

Since you say that you can run commands via /etc/rc.local, you're

 If CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE is not set, sound/pci/hda/patch_via.c
 no longer compiles in linux-source-2.6.32 version 2.6.32-22. Setting
 CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE was not necessary in 2.6.32-21 and prior
 versions. I had oldconfig'ed the .config I used for 2.6.32-21 before
 attempting to build 2.6.32-22, but my unset CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE was
 neither detected nor changed.
 Setting CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE works around the problem. Presumably
 the cause is the Debian changes to patch_via.c for 2.6.32-22, so I'd
 recommend fixing them, but at least this should be documented and caught
 by an oldconfig.

The 'Debian changes' are taken from a later upstream version.  However I
failed to notice that they introduced this regression, or that there was
a later fix for it.  Tthe attached patch fixes this and will be included
in 2.6.32-24.

Re: [linux-2.6] trunk-r16272: Fix up some configs and speakup patch broken for 2.6.36-rc4

 Hi,
 
 I already pointed out on IRC that some CONFIG_* has to be updated for
 2.6.36-rc4.
 See my attached patches.
 
 As it might be important: My linux-2.6/debian directory is from
 trunk-r16272.
 
 Unfortunately, the shipped speakup patch(es) are somehow broken:

I've recently subscribed to the speakup list and have been encouraging
the developers to submit the drivers to staging.

In the course of that I was told that the speakup drivers in linux-2.6
are quite outdated, and, as you've seen, I've now updated them to match
the current speakup package.

[...]
 Some days back, I looked into speakup GIT repository, so the extracted
 patch seems to be correct on first sight but I guess no more fitting
 to 2.6.36-rc4.

I needed to add one more small patch.

 Subject: [PATCH] Replace CONFIG_INOTIFY by CONFIG_FANOTIFY

fanotify is a new API, primarily for virus checkers, and we don't
necessarily want it.  The important thing is the userland inotify
interface (INOTIFY_USER) which is still enabled.

 Subject: [PATCH] Set CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=y
 
 Change from 'm' to CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=y as it is now boolean.
[...]

Do we really trust that this driver is better than acpi_idle yet?  (And
I really hate it when driver authors can't make them work as modules.)
