Right, but if the bug is fixed in 2.6.35 then I can look for a fix in
between, and if it is not then you can report the bug to upstream.

 One thing I don't get is why the need to break a perfectly working  
 kernel (2.6.32-9)? Can't the specific change that introduced this bug  
 be simply reverted?

If you could point out that change, perhaps.  There have been a few
thousand since then.

Also note that 2.6.32-9 was released long before the freeze and there
were some major changes in the next 2 revisions.

Ben.

I have a different ia64 machine on which I could try kernel on,  
although not very easily. I'll see if I can first reproduce the bug on  
it, and then if it happens with 2.6.35, but that may take some time...

 Please find attached the dmesg pertaining to this wonderful disaster.
 What it doesn't show is the fact that I also saw the endless
 /sys/devices enumeration during this boot.

That's probably an unrelated bug in mdadm: http://bugs.debian.org/594418
Fixed in mdadm/3.1.4-1

 Please, explain to me how changing a Panic into a Warning without
 effectively fixing the root cause of the bug fixes anything?
 
 And, oh, if by graceful failure you mean: it will blow up your raid
 devices and kill your filesystems, then yes, the failure has been
 very graceful for me, thankyouverymuch. I could have lived with a
 little less gracefulness, though ;-/

There's no need to take your frustration out on me.  I know nothing
about IA64 and have to assume that upstream developers know what they
are doing.

Please test Linux 2.6.35 as packaged in experimental.

Ben.

I don't think I've taken out my frustration on you, I would have been  
a lot less ironic and a lot more postal if I had been to take the  
frustration resulting from the pain this caused me on anyone... I must  
say tho I'm quite frustrated that incremental kernel upgrades to the  
now frozen next stable release introduce *regressions*...



about IA64 and have to assume that upstream developers know what they
are doing.


That remains an open question ;P
