 2.6.32 kernel and created the debs for image and header.. When i installed
 the linux-image-2.6.37 , i am not able to login looks like some problem with
 GDM.. Every time i login i need to give gdm restart on the console..
 Showing some error like
 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0008
 no IPv6 routers present
 Except for this problem all other things are working properly.. So anyone
 kindly suggest some solution to this problem..

did you try 2.6.37 linux image from experimenal? Can you reproduce this
trouble with it?

 Thanks. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be anything of interest in
 the xm dmesg output. It's possible that you need to add loglvl=all
 guest_loglvl=all to the hypervisor command line in order to get the
 messages. Are you able to try that?

Here it is.

Bug#595033: xserver-xorg-video-ati: Only one display works at a time with RV620 [FirePro 2260] with two DisplayPort output

2011-01-10 Thread Thomas PIERSON
Hi,

This bug was fixed in the package 'linux-image-2.6.36-trunk-amd64'.

But I just install the package 'linux-image-2.6.37-trunk-amd64' and this issue 
about dual 'DisplayPort' happened again. 
Maybe there is a regression in this new kernel release?

Do you need any logs file?

Bug#609538: r8169: long delay during resume

2011-01-10 Thread Jarek Kamiński
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.37-1~experimental.1
Severity: normal
File: /lib/modules/2.6.37-trunk-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/r8169.ko
Tags: upstream

Hi.

2.6.37 introduces regression in r8169. During every resume I get ~20
seconds delay:
Jan 10 13:57:15 rocket kernel: [36458.257780] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100
Jan 10 13:57:15 rocket kernel: [36517.738421] r8169 :13:00.0: eth0: unable 
to apply firmware patch
Jan 10 13:57:15 rocket kernel: [36517.739859] PM: resume of devices complete 
after 61177.644 msecs
Jan 10 13:57:15 rocket kernel: [36517.740258] PM: Finishing wakeup.
Jan 10 13:57:15 rocket kernel: [36517.740259] Restarting tasks ... done.

Bisecting leads to commit bca03d5f32c8ee9b5cfa1d32640a63fded6cb3c0
(r8169: remove the firmware of RTL8111D.). Further debugging showed,
that firmware.agent is not called at all, I guess that udev is not
working before Restarting tasks.

Either r8169 tries to load firmware too early, or it should keep it
loaded in memory for use during resume.

The problem persist no matter if I have firmware-realtek installed, or
not.

Cheers,
Jarek.

Bug#602450: directory does not match with driver needs

2011-01-10 Thread mourad
Package: firmware-realtek
Version: 0.28
Severity: normal

Hi,

The lastest version solved only partially the problem.

The driver is looking for the firmware in the rtl8712u firmware directory and
not in rtlwifi as created by 0.28 package...

As a temporary workaround, I made a symbolic link between rtlwifi and rtl8712u
and it does the trick...

I think that mean to patch the 2.6.37 trunk kernel or to change the path to the
firmware...

Best regards

 Please can you test whether aesni-intel loads and works in:

 2. Package version 2.6.32-29, modified to reenable aesni-intel.  See 
 the

 a. Follow section 4.2.1.
 b. Change '# CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_NI_INTEL is not set' to

fyi, 2.6.32-12  2.6.32-29 w/ CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_NI_INTEL=m both boot
successfully w/ the aesni_intel module on my Lenovo T410.
   
   I'm guessing you don't have an AES-encrypted hard drive though...
  
  I do:
  
  $ sudo cryptsetup status sda5_crypt 
  /dev/mapper/sda5_crypt is active:
cipher:  aes-cbc-essiv:sha256
  [...]
  
  Though I don't know how to verify that the hardware implementation is
  actually being used.
 
 I think that trying to remove the module is a valid test.

Finally found a convenient time to reboot; in both cases (-12  -29 +
the module) the module is unremovable on my system.

Bug#609615: linux-2.6: please do not build in nvidiafb on powerpc systems

2011-01-10 Thread Daniel Kahn Gillmor
Package: linux-2.6
Severity: normal

in http://bugs.debian.org/608846 , i encountered difficulties with an
NVIDIA chipset on powerpc.  

These difficulties appear to be exacerbated by the fact that debian's
powerpc kernel has set

CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA=y

Please set this option to 'm' for powerpc (this course of action was
suggested by jcristau on #debian-x, who helped me find a workaround to
the earlier problem).

Thanks for maintaining the Linux kernel in debian,

 Thanks for maintaining the Linux kernel in debian,

As I understand it, we cannot rely on VGA text-mode or a common firmware
interface as a basis for the console on PowerPC.  This means we must
have a suitable framebuffer driver loaded even before loading the
initramfs, so most such drivers are built-in.

There may be a better way to do this, but unfortunately the kernel team
is currently lacking a PowerPC porter who could make an informed
decision.

offb should work, and framebuffer handoff between such a driver and a
kms driver works (or can be made to work); and indeed dkg managed to get
nouveau kms going after turning off nvidiafb on .37.  At boot fbcon is
on offb, when udev starts it switches to nouveau.  That handoff doesn't
work for hw drivers like nvidiafb or radeonfb, it's restricted to
generic ones such as efifb/offb/vesafb/vga16fb.

Cheers,
Julien

On a PowerMac, yes, but I thought the PowerPC port supported PReP and

and that would cover them all?

Bug#609638: Please, include p4-clockmod on linux-image

2011-01-10 Thread Rogério Brito
Package: linux-2.6
Severity: wishlist

Please, include p4-clockmod in the linux-image kernels provided by
Debian. Otherwise, some people may not have any kind of frequency
control.

In my particular case, I use a Pentium D 805 (with arch amd64), which does
not work with acpi-cpufreq, but only with p4-clockmod. This should, in
principle, be only a matter of setting it to be compiled, say, as a module:

,
| rbr...@chagas:/tmp$ grep P4_CLOCKMOD /boot/config-2.6.37-trunk-amd64 
| # CONFIG_X86_P4_CLOCKMOD is not set
| rbr...@chagas:/tmp$ 
`


Thanks, Rogério Brito.

 Hi.
 
 2.6.37 introduces regression in r8169. During every resume I get ~20
 seconds delay:
 Jan 10 13:57:15 rocket kernel: [36458.257780] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100

 Jan 10 13:57:15 rocket kernel: [36517.740259] Restarting tasks ... done.
 
 Bisecting leads to commit bca03d5f32c8ee9b5cfa1d32640a63fded6cb3c0
 (r8169: remove the firmware of RTL8111D.). Further debugging showed,
 that firmware.agent is not called at all, I guess that udev is not
 working before Restarting tasks.

Right, only the kernel is running then.

 Either r8169 tries to load firmware too early, or it should keep it
 loaded in memory for use during resume.

It should.  But an earlier version of this patch was also in Debian's
2.6.36 so it would have had the same problem.

Ben.

 The problem persist no matter if I have firmware-realtek installed, or
 not.

Sorry, no.  It's not useful for dynamic CPU frequency scaling and is
strongly deprecated.

 Sorry, no.  It's not useful for dynamic CPU frequency scaling

Without it, I don't have *any* way of using any kind of frequency scaling
(not just dynamic). I can't do anything, be it dynamic, manual, whatever.

Furthermore, with the module, one can use powernowd for the dynamic
frequency scaling.

 and is strongly deprecated.

Is there anything wrong with providing a module? If/when it happens to be
removed, just don't provide it anymore.

Ideally, the module shouldn't be needed, but the situation is far from
ideal, because hardware is frequently, broken.

Let me just emphasize that the problem here is not a governor or something
that can be alternatively used: without it, not governor, etc can be used.

 It should.  But an earlier version of this patch was also in Debian's
 2.6.36 so it would have had the same problem.

The last 2.6.36 I've tried was 2.6.36-1~experimental.1, I've then
passsed and returned to 2.6.32 for unrelated problems. I think it wasn't
affected, but I can re-check it and/or test later 2.6.36 versions if it
may help.

Sorry if my information was misleading.
