Bug#720716: initramfs-tools: workaround in 707286 solves serious problem
Followup-For: Bug #707286 Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.113 Dear Maintainer, The workaround from 707286 (add ‘sleep 1’ before “modprobe -q dm-mod” in scripts/local-top/lvm2) has made the latest Debian kernels bootable again! They all got stuck in the initramfs shell because the root on LVM could not be found.

Bug#683768: linux-image-3.2.0-3-amd64: hibernate 3x slower after upgrade to linux-image-3.2.0-3-amd64
It gets stranger still: when I compile a kernel after 'make localmodconfig' to streamline it, then the hibernate time sometimes changes. This is true for 3.2.23-1: it goes from 31s. to 10s. It is not true for 3.2.21-3: it stays at 31s. Neither is it true for 3.5.0 from experimental: it was 30s. and streamlined only went to 20s. Hugo

Yes, 3.2.19-1 still takes 12s. But as to problems

because that is the only thing that I am varying and I have been
hibernating this box for years with up to now predictable speeds.
Don't use wicd though.
If the change was made between 3.2.19 and 3.2.21 then it might be due
to:

mm: consider all swapped back pages in used-once logic
So you could test with the reverse of that patch (attached), following
the instructions at
http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s4.2.2
I tested all the snapshot kernels again and the change occurred with
3.2.21-1. That is the first one to have a hibernate of 35s. The one
previous to that 3.2.20-1 is fine with 10s. These results are consistent.
It could not be the mm vmscan patch because both 3.2.20-1 and 3.2.21-1 have
that set the same way:

if (PageSwapBacked(page))

Bug#683768: linux-image-3.2.0-3-amd64: hibernate 3x slower after upgrade to linux-image-3.2.0-3-amd64
Slow hibernate occurs for the first time in 3.2.23-1. None of the kernels previous to that one have the problem. 3.5-1~experimental.1 still has the problem. Thanks! Hugo

I really don't understand this, because I can't see any changes between 3.2.21-3 and 3.2.23-1 that could slow down disk I/O for hibernation. My suspicion is that this has something to do with the amount of memory that needs to be saved. But I also don't see why that would increase by any significant amount. None of the kernels previous to that one have the problem. 3.5-1~experimental.1 still has the problem. Please report this upstream at https://bugzilla.kernel.org under product 'Power Management', component 'Hibernation/Suspend'. Let me check some more Ben. I just checked 3.2.21-3 again and it took 40secs. to hibernate. Should be 12secs. I'll let you know for sure. Hugo

It seems that problems can strangely appear and disappear without any known reason. Are you sure that the problem comes from the kernel itself and not from one of the hooks (see /var/log/pm-suspend.log)? For me, the slow suspend (not always reproducible) comes from the wicd hook. Yes, 3.2.19-1 still takes 12s. But as to problems disappearing/appearing I could have sworn that 3.2.21-3 took 12s. last night but now it takes 35s.

But it's a Debian problem. I compiled the stable 3.4.7 kernel from kernel.org and that does not have the problem: normal hibernate, takes 12secs. Hugo

I include the dmesg from the initramfs shell of 2.6.32-trunk-686,named initramfs.deb.dmesg, and the one from my own kernel named initramfs.dmesg from kernel 2.6.32.2-hvw.

linux-image-2.6.30-1-686: USB disk fails to show up at initramfs
Hi, In the very beginning of a boot my 2 USB disks always show up. In linux-image-2.6.30-1-686 only one does so the boot fails because the other one has partitions in /etc/fstab. I have reported a bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=534324 Can anyone shed light on this?

From what i've heard from previous posts, you can try with the rootdelay=n kernel boot parameter, where n is the number of seconds to wait. Good luck. Cesare. But it isn't the root that needs delayed, the 2 USB disks that don't have root on them but other partitions need to be delayed. Hugo

Bug#481063: linux-image-2.6.25-1-686: vga=791 gets 'undefined video mode number'
I figured it out: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686 has CONFIG_EDD=m set and I don't set that in my kernel. Hugo
Bug#481063: linux-image-2.6.25-1-686: vga=791 gets 'undefined video mode number'
Indeed 'edd=off' fixes the problem. I wished I had checked back earlier, wasted another month with uvesafb. I still wonder why I don't have to say 'edd=off' with my own rolled kernel to get vga-791 to work. I'll close bug 481063. Thanks for that solution! Hugo

Bug#481063: booting vmlinuz-2.6.25-2-686 w. vga=791 gets undefined video mode
This installer has ppp but not pppconfig. So if you are on a dialup line you are stuck, unless you know exactly what files to add/change to dial out with ppp. I could do it because I was on a system with lots of partitions that had running systems, but if you use this installer on a new system, I'd say you've got problems.

Bug#481063: linux-image-2.6.25-1-686: vga=791 gets 'undefined video mode number'
I get the same error with 2.6.26-1-686. Yet no errors with the kernels from kernel.org. So I had a thought: recompile the Debian kernel with the .config I use. Guess what: no error. So Maximilian was right when he pointed to the .config differences. It's in the .config somewhere. Hugo
linux-image-2.6.26-1-686: vga=791 again gets 'undefined video mode number'
Hi, I reported the same problem with 2.6.25-1-686 back on May 15th and submitted bug 481063. I thought (and still think) that it is a Debian issue because 2.6.25 from kernel.org works just fine with vga=791. Maximilian responded that no fb specific changes were made. Now I tried 2.6.26-1-686 (i386) and I get exactly the same results: 1. vga=791 works fine with the 2.6.26 kernel from kernel.org 2. vga=791 or vga=0x0317 gets undefined video mode from 2.6.26-1-686. That makes the 2.6.26-1-686 kernel useless for me, although as I reported, one can recompile the kernel and install uvesafb and that works. But what a job. Isn't there anyone that can suggest a course of action?

Package: linux-2.6 Severity: normal While running linux-image-2.6.25-1-686 and 2-686 I had 3 system freezes in the 9 days I ran 2.6.25. I then went back to 2.6.24-1-686. System halts: there is no kbd, no mouse, vcstime stops marking the time. Sound loops on the last bytes received, apparently. I was in X and had 3 or so VT's open.

[OT]FATAL: modprobe: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.25.3/modules.dep
Hi, I apologize for the OT but this is where the experts are. Googling gets 100's of hits - no answers. I get many such messages when booting a *self-compiled kernel* (created with make-kpkg and --initrd) but *never* with a Debian kernel either from source or from binary. The problem occurs *before* the init script of the initrd.image gets executed because the errors occur before Loading, please wait... It would seem that somewhere in the kernel a modprobe is done that gets into trouble. Obviously the .config I use is different from Debian's, I attach it. Thanks.

It would be really great if you would continue to provide k7-images. Would this be possible? Thanks for all your great work and efforts, Of course you could recompile the kernel package.

I invented my own solution, as the one mentioned in this bug:

Indeed no solution at all.
Unfortunately it works all the time...

Re: Cannot compile nvidia-kernel, i386, kernel 2.6.20 and 2.6.21
Hans wrote: Dear maintainers, since kernel version 2.6.20 and 2.6.21 it is no more possible to compile the nvidia-kernel-module. Either the nvidia-kernel-legacy nor the normal nvidia-kernel-source. My architecture is an Athlon XP, 32-bit with i386. On my notebook with debian-amd64 everything is working fine. It looks for me, that it is inhibited to compile it due to the non-GPL-license. Take a look at the output please: snip Is there anything known about it ? I tried both, using make-kpkg modules_image and module-assistant with no success. With older version (2.6.18-1-k7) everything is compiling fine. The problem is that CONFIG_PARAVIRT is set. There are good reasons to set it.

Hi, Thank you Debian Kernel Team for Sid's linux-source-2.6.21 (2.6.21-2)! (On an i386 box with nvidia video cards) I use the diff.gz file with kernel.org's patches to generate a kernel tree and then follow section 4.2 Rebuilding an official Debian kernel package of the Debian Linux Kernel Handbook.
