NFSv4 bug in linux-3.4+

2012-06-06 Thread David Witbrodt
This is a heads up for the Debian Kernel Team, though you likely are aware of the problem already. There is a bug affecting NFS version 4 server (nfsd), and the patch has now hit Linus' tree: commit fffaee365fded09f9ebf2db19066065fa54323c3 Author: Konstantin Khlebnikov khlebni...@openvz.org

Need multiarch aware linux-libc-dev when using 'make deb-pkg'

2011-09-24 Thread David Witbrodt
I just upgraded to gcc-multilib 4.6.1-3 and found that APT blew away /usr/include/asm without warning. This directory belongs to my locally-built 'linux-libc-dev' which is produced using upstream kernel sources and 'make deb-pkg'. I do local builds for testing upstream kernel commits relevant to

Bug#493479: test build

2008-08-12 Thread David Witbrodt
hey Dave, I'm wondering if this is an occurrence of #494365. Can you test this build to see if it fixes this issue for you? http://people.debian.org/~dannf/bugs/494365/ Thanks for the test build. I just tried it, but the behavior remains unchanged: kernel freezes unless the boot

Bug#493479: linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64: Bisecting complete, and LKML message sent

2008-08-05 Thread David Witbrodt
Bisecting. See http://kerneltrap.org/node/11753. OK, I bisected from 1 PM to 6 PM today. I ended up building 16 kernels which would have seemed like a LOT, except for how many I built on Saturday night and all day Sunday! I used my custom '.config', instead of the enormous Debian stock

Bug#493479: linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64: OK, I really just wanted to get RAID working, but...

2008-08-04 Thread David Witbrodt
Do you have any other suggestions? Bisecting. See http://kerneltrap.org/node/11753. Ha ha ha... I was afraid you would say that. This all started for me last Thursday: I bought 2 new 500GB drives for this server machine so I could play with RAID and learn how it's done. I decided

Bug#493479: linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64: RTC suggestions do not make kernel bootable

2008-08-03 Thread David Witbrodt
Are there any Debian-specific changes to the HPET source code, or is the problem directly from upstream? No, there are no Debian-specific changes. But 2.6.26 uses the new rtc infrastructure, which may change things. OK, I read '/linux-source-2.6.26/Documentation/rtc.txt' and then

Bug#493479: linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64: can't see a quick fix in the sources

2008-08-03 Thread David Witbrodt
I've taken this search for a bugfix about as far as I can, without outside help. Nothing that I've tried has allowed me to create a 2.6.26 kernel for my fileserver machine with the boot parameter hpet=disable. That also includes the stock 2.6.26-1 kernel. (On my desktop machine, both stock and
