Why was this reassigned to the linux kernel?

I explicitely stated (twice) that machines not running Xen are *not*
affected, so this is specifically a Xen issue.

I do not want to get into an edit war here, if there is proper
justification I don't mind having it assigned to anything...

But I don't think the bug is in the linux kernel as much as the Xen
extensions somehow.

Bug#597664: linux-image-2.6.32-5-686: Xorg crashes with radeon kernel messages

2010-09-21 Thread The Anarcat
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-23
Severity: important

Today I had a very special issue with my workstation. The display would
start but freeze. Even though in the back things are still happening,
the display isn't updated and the only way out is to go to TTY1
(control-alt-F1) where the console gets flooded with messages like this:

Sep 21 17:59:04 lenny kernel: [  102.324219] [drm:radeon_ib_schedule] *ERROR* 
radeon: couldn't schedule IB(0).
Sep 21 17:59:04 lenny kernel: [  102.354242] [drm:radeon_cs_ioctl] *ERROR* 
Faild to schedule IB !
Sep 21 17:59:04 lenny kernel: [  103.124761] [drm:radeon_ib_schedule] *ERROR* 
radeon: couldn't schedule IB(1).
Sep 21 17:59:04 lenny kernel: [  103.155110] [drm:radeon_cs_ioctl] *ERROR* 
Faild to schedule IB !
[...]

(The message loops through IB(0) to IB(15).)

Stopping gdm (invoke-rc.d gdm stop) stops the warning, but restarting
gdm doesn't fix the display (in fact it doesn't affect the display at
all) and the messages come back.

Oddly enough, sometimes, things just work without an hitch: it seems
that the issue is intermittent. The problem mostly happens when I logout
and log back in quickly. I have recently upgraded sid twice, once on
august 11th (when xorg and linux-image were upgraded) and once today (to
try to fix the issue). However, things were working well *after* the
august 11th upgrade as far as I remember, so I am unsure when the
regression got in. I first noticed the behaviour today *before* the
upgrade.

The only other change on this machine is that I switch from an old 15
CRT to a new Aceer X193w LCD monitor. I also tried to fiddle with
subpixel rendering and anti-aliasing in the fontconfig-config package
yesterday, although I fail to see how this would be the cause of this
issue.

I have tried numerous workarounds I could find on the internet
(references below):

[1] disables modesetting, by editin /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf to:

 options radeon modeset=0

 no luck: display still freezes, and instead the load goes up and up and
 I can't kill X at all. 

[2] sets the AGP mode, in the same file. no luck either there.

[3] suggests upgrading to a later version of the kernel, which here
 just crashes the whole machine: total freeze, no display, no keyboard,
 only a cold reset brings back the machine.

[4], [5] and [6] also point to similar workarounds which either do not
 work or do not work for me. Most end up pointing to the kernel as the
 culprit.

Indeed, [7] is the bug in the kernel itself, which is announced as
 resolved, but I am not sure if this is in experimental yet.

Based on the above evidence from third parties and the fact that the
error comes from the kernel (and not X), I am reporting this against the
kernel.

Thanks,

A.

Bug#475055: suspend on x31 still fails sometimes

found 475055 2.6.26-10
thanks

Hello,

I'm still seeing this behaviour, from time to time, on my Thinkpad X31.

I don't have the exact error message (I would need to take a picture for
that ;) but it really looks like the one describe in this bug report and
at the end of this page:

http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problems_with_ACPI_suspend-to-ram

I feel this issue is not resolved and should be reopened. I'm available
for testing new kernels, recompile with patches, anything to get my
suspend working. ;)

I have tried to turn on/off/disable HPA in the BIOS, nothing works. I
include a dmesg and non-verbose lspci (more available upon request).

(Should I open a new bug report since this one is archived?)

not much better.

== echo mem  /sys/power/state ==

This just shutsdown the machine spontaneously. I briefly see what looks
like a progress bar saying freeing memory but this lasts less than a
second so i could be wrong. Is this expected? Seems to me power
shouldn't be completely turned off like this...

When I boot the machine again, it comes back up, without going through
the BIOS (apparently), ends up in a state where caps and num leds are
on, nothing is responding and the LCD screen is empty (but active). The
fan is turning like crazy so I guess it's doing *something*. I must hold
onto the power button to make it turn off. Next power up leads to
nothing, i need to hold the power button again to get to the bios and
the regular bootup procedure. At this point, i'm stuck after the kernel
and the initrd get loaded by grub: it's frozen again. This looks like
when this laptop is overheating, btw. Doing a third reboot gets me into
a useable session.

Also note that i'm running those tests with GDM/X11 stopped.

== echo disk  /sys/power/state ==

Ok, so this doesn't work either... Here is what in does, without me

I notice how ACPI is not reactivating all the PCI interrupts it
originally disabled. I also notice the fans are going pretty fast
(although not as if overheating). I also saw a:

CPU0: temperature/speed normal

while typig the above messages, so i guess this means something is still
alive somewhere in there. Indeed, I can switch VTs, but the original
echo disk  /sys/power/state is just sitting there freezing the
terminal. Control-c/z/\ doesn't do anything. I can't login into other
vts, characters typed there do not appear on screen (whereas they do in
the original console where i called echo).

I can do an emergency sync (alt-a-sysreq-s). A showPc shows me:

Pid: 0, comm:   swapper
EIP is at acpi_processor_idle...
 ...

showTasks seems to write a lt of stuff on screen, i guess with
all processes call trace.

I can umount and poweroff...

I might try to hook a serial console onto this thing to copy/paste some
of this stuff or do further diagnosis if you think it is useful.

So, still a problem with 2.6.18, from etch. I hope this helps at all.

Bug#390040: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686: suspend to {disk, mem} fails on toshiba satellite A30

2007-01-16 Thread The Anarcat
With 2.6.20-rc4, the system seems to suspend to ram fine. The power led
oozes on and off. When powering it back up, however, the LCD still
doesn't come up. The console keyboard works, however, and I'm able to
pass commands through. I'd be curious to know if there would be a hack
to reset the display at this point... reboot(8) doesn't bring back the
display, so, again, this is very probably a BIOS issue from Toshiba...

Suspend to disk works even better: it goes through the suspend cycle and
shuts down cleanly. When rebooting, my console comes back properly.
Everything also seems to work properly at first sight in X11.

Things are mostly the same in 2.6.19-4 so I guess I'll start using
that...

I didn't know about kernel-archive.buildserver.net, I'm glad you pointed
out this resource to me, very interesting...

So I guess the bottom line is:

 suspend to disk works in 2.6.19-1-686. suspend to ram works a bit
 better, but not quite there.

That's enough for my needs, thanks!!

A.

PS: would this package make it to etch then? I guess that the answer is
no, but asking doesn't hurt... :)

Bug#396185: similar issues with sky2

2006-12-17 Thread The Anarcat
Hi,

I'm having similar problems with the sky2 driver. We've been avoiding
the builtin drivers from the packaged kernels in stable for a while,
but we're now using the backports (2.6.17 from backports.org), and we
(unvoluntarly) have started using the sky2 module. Traffic on the NIC
is usually low, so everything worked pretty well, until I had to rsync
data over the wire, at which point everything went black. The NIC was
still there, but traffic wasn't going through (can't ping the
machine's own IP). I couldn't find error messages in the dmesg or the
kernel log.

I don't have the courage to upgrade to the 2.6.18 kernel since this is
a production machine and I need to resolve this issue very quickly.
I apologize for not having a test machine for doing this.. We're
putting a new infrastructure live tomorrow and can't afford
uncertainty at this point...

We've reverted to using the manufacturer's driver at this point:

Bug#390040: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686: suspend to {disk, mem} fails on toshiba satellite A30

2006-09-28 Thread The Anarcat
Package: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686
Version: 2.6.17-9
Severity: normal

So, i got a new laptop... The linux kernel used to be real nice to me on
my old thinkpad, but it got stolen so now i'm with a Toshiba Satellite
A30.

I can't either suspend to disk or ram. i use echo disk or echo mem 
/sys/power/state to test.

When suspending to disk, i get this on the console:

cpufreq: suspend failed to assert current frequency is what timing core thinks 
it is
swsusp: Need to copy 31320 pages
swsusp: critical section/: done (31320 pages copied)
...
CPU0: Intel P4/Xeon Extended MCE MSRs (12) available
CPU0: thermal monitoring enabled
swsusp: restoring highmem
cpufreq: suspend failed to assert current frequency is what timing core thinks 
it is
...

Those were copied by hand. The cpufreq message makes me think the
problem might be related to the frequency scaling drivers. Indeed, the
gnome applet tells me the CPU jumps between 1.6Ghz and 3.06Ghz when
scaling, when the CPU is supposed to be a 2.50Ghz.

I will try disabling frequency scaling and X11 to see if that helps.

I found another report[1] of this laptop having problems with ACPI, so
it's very likely a problem that's been there for a while.

I have started documenting[2] the fun I'm having with Debian on this
laptop.

I have attached a dmidecode (because I think the problem is
ACPI-related) and lspci -vv (because it's always good) and a dmesg
(because more is better here).

The problem happens in 2.6.16, .17 and .18 (from sid). I am available
for debugging and testing this to the death.

Thanks,

A.

Bug#383725: linux-image-2.6.16-2-686: cannot halt properly Thinkpad T22

2006-08-18 Thread The Anarcat
Package: linux-image-2.6.16-2-686
Version: 2.6.16-17
Severity: normal

Hello,

I see a clear regression here after upgrading from 2.6.15 to 2.6.16. The
kernel now doesn't shutdown cleanly the power on my laptop, a IBM
Thinkpad T22. It used to work real nice on 2.6.15, but now, the machine
just sits there after the Shutting down drives: sda (probably not the
exact wording, i don't clearly remember, but it's usually the last thing
on the console before the shutdown). I can safely poweroff the machine
by pressing the power key for 5 seconds, but it's a bit annoying.

Usually, i just suspend to disk this machine, using an ugly hack (echo
disk  /sys/power/state). This is also affect in that I need to poweroff
the same way as a shutdown, ie. by pressing the power key. The machine
resumes as normal.

Available for debugging/testing with right tools/instructions...

a.

Bug#358424: kernel-image-2.6.8-11-em64t-p4-smp: sk98lin driver not finding my gigabit card

2006-03-22 Thread anarcat
Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-11-em64t-p4-smp
Version: 2.6.8-16sarge1
Severity: wishlist

The builtin sk98lin driver in that kernel cannot detect properly that
gigabit card.

sk98lin: No adapter found.

Using the manufacturer driver works, however, and the card is properly
detected:

Things are not really critical since the driver installs pretty cleanly
and works very well, but i'd be nice to avoid relying on that external
driver, especially for upgrades.

Bug#341524: yaird: fails to upgrade from linux-2.4 to 2.6

2005-11-30 Thread The Anarcat
Package: yaird
Version: 0.0.11-12
Severity: important


Hello,

I just upgraded to sid from sarge, and I'm having problems moving to the
kernel 2.6. First off, let me mention that the upgrade didn't go as
smoothly as planned, which was to be expected nowadays... My packages
for kernel-image-2.6 were removed somehow, probably due to the new
linux-image kernels. Anyways...

Now that I actually try to switch to 2.6, some weird problem doesn't
want to let me. I tried this:

# aptitude install yaird
[...]
# tail -1 /etc/kernel-img.conf
ramdisk = /usr/sbin/mkinitrd.yaird
# : note that I also tried without the above line
# aptitude install linux-image-k7
[...]
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  linux-image-2.6-k7 linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7 linux-image-k7 
[...]

You are attempting to install an initrd kernel image (version
2.6.14-2-k7) while running a kernel of version 2.4.27-2-k7, but
you have no suitable ramdisk generation tool installed among 
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd.yaird.  This will break the installation, unless a
suitable ramdisk generation tool is also being installed right
now.

Seems to me that yaird doesn't support migration from 2.4 to 2.6.14. It does 
support anything below 2.6.13 though:

# mkinitrd --supported-host-version=2.4.27-2-k7 
--supported-target-version=2.6.12  echo 1
1
# mkinitrd --supported-host-version=2.4.27-2-k7 
--supported-target-version=2.6.13  echo 1 
#

That is after adding the line to kernel-img.conf but i had the same result 
before.

Now, I *was* able to upgrade, using the initramfs-tools package. Maybe the 
dependency list for linux-image should be reversed for that package, ie. put 
initramfs before yaird.

# /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs  --supported-host-version=2.4.27-2-k7 
--supported-target-version=2.6.14  echo 1
1

I'm not sure I understand all the implications here, but I leave that all in 
your wise hands. I can help more if you tell me what to do. :)

Thanks,

a.

Bug#341524: yaird: fails to upgrade from linux-2.4 to 2.6

On Thu Dec 01, 2005 at 07:58:32AM +0100, Sven Luther wrote:
 
 Well, yaird cannot install from a 2.4 kernel, which is why you see this
 failure. The correct upgrade way using yaird is to first upgrade to the sarge
 (2.6.8) or etch (2.6.12) 2.6 kernel, and then upgrade to 2.6.14 after a
 reboot, using yaird, or boot the current 2.6.14 based sid-d-i netinst, once
 you are at the partitioning step, go to console 2, mount your root partition,
 chroot into it, mount /proc and /sys, and dpkg-reconfigure
 linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7. The other alternative is to install initramfs-tools,
 which knows how to install from a 2.4 kernel. I prefer using yaird myself
 though.

Is this what the upgrade path from sarge will look like for etch
(assuming here that etch will go up to 2.6.14, or will that not happen
at all?).

In general, why not simply change the depends to have the whole thing
Just Work in the general case?
