Bug#586133: Boot process pauses indefinitely waiting for keyboard activity

2012-04-04 Thread Kushal Koolwal
Jonathan
 Bob, Kushal: ping?
Sorry for not responding earlier. I think this one is a wild goose
chase at least in my case it was like that. Also, I don't have access
to the system anymore exhibiting the problem. Most likely this seems
to be a BIOS/Firmware bug.

Thanks.

Kushal Koolwal

Bug#587703: Please close the issue...

2012-01-06 Thread Kushal Koolwal
Jonathan,

Thanks for checking. Actually we were able to resolve this issue at
the BIOS/Firmware level. There was some resource allocation issue in
the ACPI's PNP devices. But just wanted to make it clear that we
started seeing this issue from 2.6.32 onwards and hence the BIOS fix
was necessary if we wanted to use kernel  2.6.32 or later. You can
close this issue for now.

Bug#587703: System hangs at boot with PCIE Mini WiFi card attached

2012-01-06 Thread Kushal Koolwal
 Weird.  Do you mean that you changed some setting in the BIOS to fix
 this, or that you applied a BIOS update?  Is there somewhere we can
 read about the firmware update (e.g., a BIOS changelog) to see if
 there is anything Linux could or should be doing to avoid similar
 problems in the future?

No, it was not a CMOS settings change that fixed it. The fix was
inside the BIOS code. It was more like a BIOS bug than a Linux bug.
You can follow the thread here:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26732

Although the above thread talks slightly about different issue but
AFAICAR the fix is same for both the issues (one mentioned on this bug
report and the one mentioned on the Kernel Bugzilla). It's been quite
a while so I can't recollect all the details accurately.

Bug#533565: Occurs on 2.6.37

2011-02-28 Thread Kushal Koolwal
I have verified that this issue still occurs on the latest stable
kernel (2.6.37)
from kernel.org and obviously on Debian Squeeze too.

What would it take to report this bug upstream?

Thanks!

Bug#533565: Kernel boot parameter fixes this problem

2011-02-28 Thread Kushal Koolwal
It seems that upon passing the kernel boot parameter
libata.force=40c solves the problem. Should I still report this
upstream?

Thanks!

Bug#586133: Same here with 2.6.32

2010-07-02 Thread Kushal Koolwal

I have found the same problem. The system waits for a keyboard input activity 
to boot further. Also I have found that it happens during shutdown also.

Also this happens more when you disable Periodic SMI option in the BIOS.

Bug#587703: linux-image-2.6-686: System hangs at boot with PCIE Mini WiFi card attached

2010-06-30 Thread Kushal Koolwal
 card attached
2.6.32, 2.6.33 and 2.6.34 - Hangs at boot with Wifi card attached

Since squeeze might ship with 2.6.32 kernel I thought I would get this bug 
report in before it is finalized.

Please let me know if you want any other kind of logs or if you would like me 
to do some additional testing.

Thanks

Bug#523964: linux-image-2.6.28-1-486: memory corruption on resuming from STR/ACPI State 3

2010-01-29 Thread Kushal Koolwal

Hi Moritz,

Sorry for not seeing your message earlier. Actually I have not been checking 
this email address any more but just happen to log in.

 Does this error still occur with the 2.6.30 kernel from unstable?
I had to disable the following option in 2.6.28-1-486 in order to get rid of 
the error:
# CONFIG_X86_CHECK_BIOS_CORRUPTION is not set

Let me know if you need more information. I have bookmarked the BUG report page 
so I will know if there is any new reply from you.

2009-08-09 Thread Kushal Koolwal

Sorry to hear that it did not worked out for you.

Try searching in lenny-backports if you are using Lenny.

Also is your network/wire-less card working fine in spite of those message?

I think my Fujitsu laptop uses the same hardware and I remember seeing those 
messages (regarding tg3) on my laptop but my wireless/Ethernet card worked just 
fine.

I think I had the same problem.
See this:

Basically add non-free to sources.list and then do:

Bug#536537: What to fix in BIOS?

2009-07-24 Thread Kushal Koolwal

I too encountered the same problem on our Intel Atom (Poulsbo chipset) based 
computer running Debian 5.0. Upon looking at the file reboot.c in the kernel I 
found that the following two works for me:

reboot=bios
reboot=acpi

Now at this point of time I am not sure if this is a BIOS issue or a kernel 
issue. 

How about a fixed bios?Bastian - I do have access to the person who writes the 
BIOS for this computer. I am not a BIOS expert by
any chance but can you give me some idea/hint as to what should I be asking the 
BIOS guy to look into in 
order to fix this issue?

Thank you.

 am using Debian 5.0 with 2.6.30 kernel. I see the following messages during

Supporting 2.6.27 in Lenny? - Long term support

2008-10-19 Thread Kushal Koolwal

I posted this message on debian-devel and I was asked to post on  
debian-kernel. So here it is:

First of all I apologize if this has been brought up somewhere else.
 
It seems that on LKML it was announced that 2.6.27 will be a long term support 
kernel:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/11/235
 
Since we haven't released Lenny yet (freeze state I believe), wouldn't it be a 
good idea to include 2.6.27 as the default Lenny kernel instead of 2.6.26?
 
Most of the newer release of other distributions like  Fedora, Ubuntu, and 
openSUSE are going to be based on 2.6.27
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/14/322
 
Also I am not a DD so I might not be aware 100% of the freeze policy as I ask 
this question.
 
Thanks
