Thanks, I'll dig through the logs in a bit and see if anything shows up.

I think so, the CONFIG_XEN_MAX_DOMAIN_MEMORY thing is probably a
red-herring.

If you are able it would be useful to know if the tip of
xen-4.0-testing.hg (which is just about to become 4.0.2-rc1) works or
not. You would only need to build the hypervisor binary itself not all
the tools etc which is relatively straight forward. I can give more
detailed instructions if necessary.

Please do (provide detailed instructions).

You'll need to install mercurial, gcc, make and python (I think those
are the only dependencies for the hypervisor itself, hopefully any
errors due to missing tools will be fairly straightforward) and then:
$ hg clone http://xenbits.xen.org/xen-4.0-testing.hg
$ cd xen-4.0-testing.hg
$ make -C xen # Add -j as desired.

Then copy xen/xen.gz to /boot/xen-4.0-testing.gz (or whatever name you
prefer) and update your bootloader (update-grub should do it?).

To rebuild with debugging enabled, which would be useful if the above
doesn't result in a successful boot:
$ make -C xen clean
$ make -C xen debug=y # Add -j as desired.

If 4.0-testing doesn't work then doing the same thing with
http://xenbits.xen.org/xen-unstable.hg would also be informative.

Thanks!

Ian.

Yes, i810 is the old name for the driver.

Lenny has:

In later versions that compat symlink was removed, and the xserver-xorg

Bug#602853: patch to fix 602853

2011-01-06 Thread Fabio M. Di Nitto 
Hi all,

attached is a patch to fix this sparc boot issue.

commit 25edd6946a1d74e5e77813c2324a0908c68bcf9e

from upstream introduced the "regression" by effectively unveiling other
bugs around the code that handles access to the sparc PROM.

this commit made it into stable and it is present in
debian/patches/bugfix/all/stable/2.6.32.23.patch

David Miller already posted patches to stable trees address this issue.

(Note: David, I had to change slightly the spin_lock calls in printk.c
vs upstream patch to be able to backport, could you be so kind to check
if it´s ok with you? works for me here but 2 extra eyes are better)

Specifically:

Subject: [PATCH 01/10] SPARC/LEON: removed constant timer initialization
as if HZ=100, now it reflects the value of HZ

[ Upstream commit b690c425fe07c725e7f1f7d40303588416cba67f ]

Subject: [PATCH 02/10] sparc64: Delete prom_puts() unused.

[ Upstream commit ce05a94efaf71d562eeefd30d6bbc2ab42b06bac ]

Subject: [PATCH 03/10] sparc: Remove prom_pathtoinode()

[ Upstream commit 17d70d6df0c4ea7a203b444001572a91ad9c2bef ]

Subject: [PATCH 04/10] sparc: Kill prom devops_{32,64}.c

[ Upstream commit b148246912bea92bde2a0cba125ca94f1f776b12 ]

Subject: [PATCH 05/10] sparc64: Unexport prom_service_exists().

[ Upstream commit f7b5f55ac1623dfde24ef5319ad77c1746645f3f ]

Subject: [PATCH 06/10] sparc64: Delete prom_setcallback().

[ Upstream commit c540ee70e49b573535c7ddfd0e9a0fc9d549c8b7 ]

Subject: [PATCH 07/10] sparc: Do not export prom_nb{get,put}char().

[ Upstream commit 91921fef7c658b12de53376b312d071d757f7770 ]

Subject: [PATCH 08/10] sparc: Pass buffer pointer all the way down to
prom_{get,put}char().

[ Upstream commit e62cac1fd035b4cde707285008499dbe71955a86 ]

Subject: [PATCH 09/10] sparc: Delete prom_*getchar().

[ Upstream commit 12c7a35ee6a1c605e740733f2cbd5b5079f09f0f ]

Subject: [PATCH 10/10] sparc: Write to prom console using indirect buffer.

[ Upstream commit 595a251c0740785fd3c0d2156d78578c7479811e ]

With the above 10 fixes, another bug has been spotted in the atyfb
driver (sparc specific), that I believe David will push to stable trees
as well, and the fix is here:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-sparc&m=129426177717121&w=2

this whole patch set has been merged in the attached patch and tested on
top of Debian kernel 2.6.32-29, that now can successfully boot again.

Please consider applying asap, as this bug affects also installer images.

As patches will make it into stable trees, this patch can be dropped
later on.

The linux-base postinst fails to update the UUIDs in /boot/boot/grub.
See /usr/sbin/update-grub (a shell script) for how to find grub directory.
I think this mostly affects mature systems.  Newer systems have /boot/grub.

Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-20~bpo50+1
Severity: important


WHen I boot this kernel, my ethernet port stops working.  The light on
the switch goes out.  It is a Cisco 3550 switch with 10 10/100/1000 ports
and two GBIC ports.  This server is plugged into a 10/100/1000 port.

In order to get things working again, I have to power the machine off
and boot 2.6.30 instead.  I will attach kernel logs from both versions.

This is not the "wrong mac address" bug.  I have not seen anyone with my
exact symptoms.  I do get the missing firmware message when building
the initramfs, but I understand that I don't really need firmware.

No error with normal boot.
It happen with both 2.6.37-rc7-686, 2.6.37-rc5-686, 2.6.36-trunk-686,
but not with 2.6.32-5-686 (2.6.32-29).

Grub command lines are identical except that "lapic hpet=force" in
normal boot is substituted by "single" in recovery mode.

Apart for the message, the system seems to behave well.

Bug#608185: marked as done (btrfs-tools: balance tree action should be only triggered by root)

2011-01-06 Thread Debian Bug Tracking System 
Your message dated Thu, 06 Jan 2011 13:18:24 +
with message-id 
and subject line Bug#608185: fixed in linux-2.6 2.6.37-1~experimental.1
has caused the Debian Bug report #608185,
regarding btrfs-tools: balance tree action should be only triggered by root
to be marked as done.

This means that you claim that the problem has been dealt with.
If this is not the case it is now your responsibility to reopen the
Bug report if necessary, and/or fix the problem forthwith.

(NB: If you are a system administrator and have no idea what this
message is talking about, this may indicate a serious mail system
misconfiguration somewhere. Please contact ow...@bugs.debian.org
immediately.)

--- Begin Message ---
Package: btrfs-tools
Version: 0.19+20100601-3, 0.19+20101101-1
Severity: serious

Balance tree action of btrfs command should be limited to only root
user, because it may cause data corrupt and usually result in an
uninterruptible process which is causing a heavy I/O load (the process
may keep runing for a long time because the action is not a easy deal).

Run the following command as a non-root user will also start the balance
tree action ( / is btrfs here, with ext4 /boot):
$ btrfs filesystem balance /

I think this problem will cause serious issues if somebody uses it in
a production system (though it is really not recommended), so I give it
an RC severity. If you think it should be changed, feel free to do it.

What's more, I'm not sure whether this should be a bug in the Linux kernel,
because such action is actually performed by using system calls. If I
try to make a snapshot in a directory by a user who does not have the
access, it will generate an error like this:
$ pwd
/home
$ whoami
aron
$ btrfs subvolume snapshot . backhome
Create a snapshot of '.' in './backhome'
ERROR: cannot snapshot '.'

Sounds like it - Documentation/infiniband/user_verbs.txt says:

 "Since the InfiniBand userspace verbs should be safe for use by
 non-privileged processes, it may be useful to add an appropriate MODE
 or GROUP to the udev rule."

Upstream fix:
  http://git.kernel.org/linus/7182afea8d1afd432a17c18162cc3fd441d0da93
Introduced in 2.6.15.

Jikes, that sounds scary. How often do you need to restart it?  Can
you make it happen more often if you mount/remount in a loop?

Bug#609155: linux-image-2.6.32-5-powerpc: Device tree sources not included in PPC kernel packages

2011-01-06 Thread Gerhard Pircher 
Package: linux-image-2.6.32-5-powerpc
Version: 2.6.32-29
Severity: wishlist

The Lenny PPC kernel image packages included the device tree sources,
which are normally found in arch/powerpc/boot/dts in the Linux sources.
This isn't the case anymore for the Squeeze kernel packages. It looks
like this change in the rules.real makefile is responsible for the
problem:

echo 'override ARCH = $(KERNEL_ARCH)' >> '$(DIR)/.kernelvariables'

For Squeeze the build_$(ARCH)_$(FEATURESET)_$(FLAVOUR) directory only
contains the compiled objects files and makefiles. Thus the
bootwrapper_install target (called by the install target in rules.real)
in build_$(ARCH)_$(FEATURESET)_$(FLAVOUR)/arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile
can't find any *.dts files and silently fails to install them.

While CHRP and PPC64 machines don't need any device tree sources, I
need them to add support for other platforms that don't boot from an
OpenFirmware compatible firmware. I'm not sure how a correct fix should
look like, but maybe the dts directory could be explicitly copied over
to the build directory, if a kernel is compiled for ARCH=powerpc.

regards,

Gerhard

kconfigeditor2 howto

2011-01-06 Thread Gerhard Pircher 
Hi,

Some months ago I asked on this mailing list how to create all the
kernel config fragments so that they can be used by the Debian kernel
build scripts to rebuild the final .config file.

I was pointed to this tool here:
svn://svn.debian.org/svn/kernel/people/waldi/utils/kconfigeditor2/

I hope somebody can explain to me how this tool is used, as I couldn't
find any documentation for it and I'm not a native "python speaker" yet.

Thanks in advance!

regards,

Gerhard

Package: linux-image-2.6.36-rc5-686-bigmem
Version: 2.6.36~rc5-1~experimental.1
Severity: normal


Hello,

I've been using the rt2870sta module for my Belkin F5D8055 USB WLAN adapter
since it started supporting its device ID (050d:825b) in 2.6.35, but
unfortunately with the removal of the Ralink staging drivers in
2.6.35-1~experimental.3 I'm currently stuck on 2.6.35-1~experimental.2.

It looks like the rt2800usb mainline driver could take the place of the
rt2870sta, since it already includes the device ID for 050d:825a, which I
assume is just a minor revision away from my chip.

Also, looking at the 2.6.36 source I noticed that the device ID still isn't
included in the mainline drivers, but has moved from rt2870sta to the
rt2860sta module.

So would it be possible to either add my device ID to the rt2800usb module,
or to re-enable the staging driver rt2860 in the 2.6.36 package?
Or is there an easy way to force loading the rt2800usb for this device ID,
so I could test if this drivers works fine?

By the way, before 2.6.35 I used to use the rt3000 driver from the Ralink
website, so I'm not really sure which chipset I actually have.
The lsusb output is as follows:

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 050d:825b Belkin Components F5D8055 N+ Wireless Adapter 
v2000 [Ralink RT3070]

I'd be happy to provide any other information you need.


Thanks,
Markus

OK, then I'm closing it.

Right, it's explicitly looking in the build directory for some reason.
Could you test whether this patch fixes it:

trunk kernel?

2011-01-06 Thread Nima Azarbayjany 

Hi,

Can someone explain to me what is a trunk kernel?  Are they safe to 
install?  I would like to have the newly added 2.6.37 kernel in 
experimental in my Squeeze box.  Is that a wise thing to do?  Are there 
any risks involved?


Thanks.

Nima
