Ok, that's what I figured. Is there at least a solution to the "if the
user has the standard, most recent, Debian kernel running, make sure
the corresponding headers are installed" problem? I.e. something like
Ubuntu's "linux-{image,headers}-generic" packages?

libbpfcc needs a way to ensure the current kernel's headers are installed
Hi! (Applications linked against) libbpfcc will dynamically compile and load C source code into eBPF byte code at runtime and load the result into the kernel for various purposes (e.g. socket filtering, tracing, etc.). For this to work, it needs the kernel headers of the *currently running kernel* [0,1]. Therefore, the maintainer of libbpfcc in Debian added a corresponding dependency [2] which unfortunately breaks everything but amd64 [3] and does also not quite fix the original bug [4]. Please comment on bug #877925 [4] and/or #878922 [3] regarding on how to solve the "this package needs the current kernel's headers installed" problem!

Bug#691122: Please add LVDS patch for the Zotac ZBOX SD ID13
Package: src:linux
Version: 3.2.30-1
Tags: upstream fixed-upstream patch
Severity: normal
Hi,
The Zotac ZBOX SD ID13 has an internal LVDS connector which (at least in
this model) isn't connected to anything. This leads to X adjusting the
maximum resolution to the resolution of the (nonexistent) LVDS display,
which is way too low. It also seems to confuse the Linux kernel when
choosing the resolution for the virtual terminals.
The problem has been fixed upstream[0] and has also been reported in
Ubuntu[1], so fixing this bug upstream by including the patch in the
stable 3.2 branch might also be a good idea.
Anyway, after dropping the attached patch into debian/patches/bugfix/x86
and rebuilding the kernel, the problem was fixed here.
Best regards
Alexander Kurtz

Hi,
I recently bough a SAS/SATA expansion card[1] based on Marvell's

As you can see, the mvsas driver failed to get the card up and

[Please CC me when replying, I'm not subscribed to debian-kernel@l.d.o] Hi, Just FYI: Some apparently random crashes/freezes on my Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 seem to be caused by the driver for the RTL8188 wifi chip.

Despite my extensive googling, i've not been able to find a solution. I was wondering whether or not you have solved your issue. Cheers. :) Sincerely, L Sorry, I've got no solution either. Since this is kind of a low-priority bug for me, I'm fine with manually unmounting (using umount or some GUI) my external drive before removing it. My current plan is to wait for 3.0 and then maybe do a git bisect if it's not fixed by then. However, you should check out the Debian bug report[1], the Ubuntu bug report[2] and the upstream bug report[3], maybe you'll find something there.
