I know, that bug report was rather poor, could not give you really
something to work with.

Actually, yes! I tried yesterday and compiled 4.9.47 once as it comes,
with that patch included, and then again with that patch "reversed". With
the first one sound worked, with the latter I got that same distorted
noise again. Good work :)
It's one of the great things about linux that there is still someone
who cares about such an old piece of hardware, no way to get that sound
card working with Redmond-10 :)

Thanks again, and a happy new year!

[Michael Lange]

Great, sound was still broken with 4.9.0-3 (4.9.30-2+deb9u5) but works
again properly now with linux-image-4.9.0-4-amd64 (4.9.65-3+deb9u1). 

Thanks!!

[Michael Lange]

Addendum:
Maybe I should have tried this beforehand, sound works again with
kernel 4.12.0-0.bpo.2-amd64, so it seems that whatever change caused this
bug in 4.9 has been fixed meanwhile.

Bug#878018: linux-image-4.9.0-3-amd64: Sound broken with snd_fm801

[Michael Lange]

Package: src:linux
Version: 4.9.30-2+deb9u5
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

after upgrading to Stretch sound stopped working with the snd_fm801 driver when
using the default 4.9.0 kernel package. When playing back an audio or video
file the audio is overlayed with a "stuttering", distorted noise, which
sometimes even persists when the playback application is terminated.
When using the 4.3.0 kernel from Jessie-backports audio works fine, so it looks
like a bug to snd_fm801 has been introduced between the 4.3 and 4.9 kernel
versions.

Best regards

Michael

Thanks Ben (and sorry for the late reply). The patch you sent seems to
also fix 817874, no more frozen screens here, good work :)

Kind regards

Bug#817874: linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64: 3.16.7-ckt25-1 freeze with radeon driver

[Michael Lange]

Package: src:linux
Version: 3.16.7-ckt25-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

the day before yesterday apt-get update && apt-get upgrade upgraded the kernel
package to version 3.16.7-ckt25-1 from jessie-proposed-updates. When I booted
this kernel yesterday for the first time I experienced sudden "freezes" of the
system that made the machine completely unusable. After some investigating I
found that apparently a newly introduced bug affecting the radeon driver caused
this. The following stack trace was found in the syslog:

Bug#533657: linux-image-2.6.26-2-686: Bug with sata_nv

[Michael Lange]

Package: linux-image-2.6.26-2-686
Version: 2.6.26-16
Severity: important

The hardware: A Plextor PX-810SA DVD-writer on a AsRock K8Upgrade-NF3 
motherboard.
With lenny kernel 2.6.26-2-686 syslog is spammed with tons of messages saying
ata2: EH complete each two seconds (or so). This doesn't happen when using
backports kernel 2.6.29-bpo.2-686 or backports etch kernel 2.6.22-2-k7.
Some websearches revealed that this appears to be an issue with the sata_nv
driver (e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/269652),
at least I suspect the problems described there are as same as here.
Please send me a note if any additional information is required.

Regards

Michael Lange

Bug#533657: linux-image-2.6.26-2-686: Bug with sata_nv

[Michael Lange]

Hi,

 Does this occur with 2.6.26-15lenny3?
 

No, it doesn't! In fact dmesg tells me:

m...@debian:~$ dmesg |grep ata2
[6.197265] ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xe80 ctl 0xe00 bmdma 0xe008
irq 21 [7.028025] ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)
m...@debian:~$

and I guess the missing SATA link down indicated the problem with the
other kernel? With 2.6.26-15lenny3 everything seems to be fine.

Michael

 Michael,
  Thanks for the feedback. Can you try this kernel and report back?

A quick test does not show any problems, dmesg says:

debian:/home/pingu# dmesg | grep ata2
[6.181720] ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xe80 ctl 0xe00 bmdma 0xe008 irq 21
debian:/home/pingu# 

Looks good!

Bug#522041: initramfs-tools: conf/conf.d/cryptroot missing from initrd.img when using file system label

[Michael Lange]

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.92o
Severity: important

After upgrading from etch to lenny the new kernel would not boot, but stop with 
a message Waiting for 
root file system. The root file system is on a luks partiton as 
/dev/mapper/root. As suggested in the 
debian docs I added a file system label to /etc/fstab to avoid possible 
/dev/hda - /dev/sda confusions 
with a new kernel before upgrading, so the line for the root partition in 
/etc/fstab looked like:

LABEL=CRYPTOROOT /  ext3defaults,errors=remount-ro 0   1

When I opened the initrd.img with gzip and cpio I found the 
conf/conf.d/cryptroot was missing; when I 
added it manually and re-packaged the initrd.img the system would boot up 
normally.
On a web search I found the discussion about bug #507721 and although I was not 
able to fully understand 
the technical details I thought it resembled my problems a lot. I then just 
tried to replace the 
LABEL=CRYPTROOT in /etc/fstab with /dev/mapper/root and ran update-initramfs 
again which then resulted 
in a correct initrd.img, so it looks like initramfs-tools does not handle file 
system labels correctly.

Regards

Michael

 did you try to pass a rootdelay=12 bootparam?

I did experiment with the rootdelay parameter, but please note that the reason 
the system would not boot was clearly the missing conf/conf.d/cryptroot file.
update-initramfs just failed to pack this file into the initrd.img if the root 
file system was specified by LABEL=CRYPTROOT in /etc/fstab. The system setup 
though was obviously ok., I just had to add the file manually to initrd.img and 
the system would boot up normally. The irony herein is that I would not have 
used the LABEL=... thing unless the debian docs had advised me to do so, 
otherwise I might end with an unbootable system ;)
