[Bug 225811] Re: kernel: fix x86 DMI checks for PCI quirks
Steve: The fundamental problem is that users expect the NICs on the motherboard to be named eth0 and eth1 in Linux. Without this SRU, they're named eth1 and eth0 (e.g. backwards as compared to the silkscreen on the case, and in BIOS SETUP pages) from expectations, which is confusing to system administrators. http://linux.dell.com/files/whitepapers/nic-enum-whitepaper-v3.pdf is a whitepaper I wrote describing the problem and various solutions. Auto- enabling pci=bfsort is really one workaround, about a 90% solution, to the generic problem. That hints at a 100% solution, which is a new udev helper program called biosdevname (http://linux.dell.com/biosdevname and http://linux.dell.com/git biosdevname). Yes, it can be fixed up after the fact with udev rules. But it's better if it need not be, which is what this patch allows. This was a bug introduced into the 2.6.23 kernel that disabled this feature that had been around for several kernel releases. This SRU fixes that bug. It affects 5 Dell servers, and 20+ HP servers, as well as a couple laptops. ** Changed in: dell Importance: Undecided = High Status: New = Confirmed -- kernel: fix x86 DMI checks for PCI quirks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225811 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 125816] Re: linux-image postinst matches header_postinst_hook for postinst_hook incorrectly
you can install http://linux.dell.com/dkms/debian/dkms_2.0.17-1_all.deb which will demonstrate the problem on kernels produced by the older kernel-package, upgrade the kernel to one built with the newer kernel- package (with the above patch applied) and see that it no longer demonstrates the problem. The demonstrated problem is that when installing a kernel built with the broken kernel-package, DKMS is invoked twice - once by post_hook and once by /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms; but update-grub is _never_ called from postinst_hook (because postinst_hook was overwritten with the value from header_postinst_hook, namely invoking dkms). DKMS should only be invoked once (from /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms) and update-grub should be invoked from postinst_hook. I'm working on packaging newer copies of DKMS, but am torn; should it try to use header_postinst_hook at all? If it does, then it's subject to this breakage. If it does not, then there's a chance that the ordering of dpkg installs of new linux-image and linux-headers packages will cause the dkms_autoinstaller to fail. I need the dkms_autoinstaller to be run after both linux-image and linux-headers are installed. To guarantee this, I've been hooking both of those package's postinst hooks, so regardless of install order dkms_autoinstaller is run after they're both installed. I'm open to advice on this point. ** Changed in: ubuntu Assignee: (unassigned) = Ubuntu Kernel Team Status: Invalid = Confirmed -- linux-image postinst matches header_postinst_hook for postinst_hook incorrectly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/125816 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Or better said: probably DKMS is ok, but the hook mechanism is not working correctly anymore. With DKMS 2.0.17 the file /etc/kernel-img.conf now reads: do_symlinks = yes relative_links = yes do_bootloader = no do_bootfloppy = no do_initrd = yes link_in_boot = no postinst_hook = /sbin/update-grub postrm_hook = /sbin/update-grub header_postinst_hook = /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms When this last line is in the config file the previous lines are not called anymore (the postinst and postrm hooks). So update-grub is not executed anymore on a kernel update (or remove), which is not good. It can fairly easily be fixed by adding a link in the /etc/kernel/postinst.d directory to /sbin/update-grub. But I'm not really sure why the hooks in the config file are not used anymore. Perhaps because the /etc/kernel/* directories were empty before, and now there's a dkms script in them (which would maybe overrule the postinst/postrm_hook entries in the config file?). However, when removing the last line from the kernel-img.conf file, update-grub is again called upon installation of a new kernel... very confusing... Doh. See this in /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux- image-2.6.20-16-generic.postinst: $postinst_hook = $1 if /postinst_hook\s*=\s*(\S+)/ig; Notice the test. It's matching postinst_hook on the header_postinst_hook line from the /etc/kernel-img.conf file, so it's overriding the call to update-grub with another call to dkms. That is a bug in the linux-image scripts. Will file as such. I guess that also means we can't rely on that to hook in DKMS for a while... :-( And we'll have to respin DKMS to remove that... ** Affects: redfish (upstream) Importance: High Status: New ** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: redfish (upstream) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- linux-image postinst matches header_postinst_hook for postinst_hook incorrectly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/125816 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 121676] add DKMS to Ubuntu
Public bug reported: Please include DKMS in Ubuntu main. Version 2.0.17 or higher has Ubuntu support, and will be used to enable brand new hardware on forthcoming Dell systems for which the base kernel of each given Ubuntu release does not have drivers for that new hardware. GIT: http://linux.dell.com/git/dkms.git Deb: http://linux.dell.com/dkms/debian/ Home page: http://linux.dell.com/dkms/dkms.html DKMS stands for Dynamic Kernel Module Support. It is designed to create a framework where kernel dependent module source can reside so that it is very easy to rebuild modules as you upgrade kernels. This will allow Linux vendors to provide driver drops without having to wait for new kernel releases while also taking out the guesswork for customers attempting to recompile modules for new kernels. For veteran Linux users it also provides some advantages since a separate framework for driver drops will remove kernel releases as a blocking mechanism for distributing code. Instead, driver development should speed up as this separate module source tree will allow quicker testing cycles meaning better tested code can later be pushed back into the kernel at a more rapid pace. Its also nice for developers and maintainers as DKMS only requires a source tarball in conjunction with a small configuration file in order to function correctly. ** Affects: redfish (upstream) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: redfish (upstream) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- add DKMS to Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121676 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
