Is there any chance of linux-source 2.6.30 migrating to testing any time soon?

Bug#404927: Adaptec aacraid still w/ broken permissions on lenny

2009-07-02 Thread Philipp Niemann
Hi,

this bug to me is still applying to several systems I installed
recently (using debian lenny 5.0.2). Please see the details for one of the
systems below.

I would like to see this bug fixed. Besides the obvious security issue
the floppy group imposes this bug triggers misbehaviour for the fai (fully
automated install) debian package. fai uses the device group to determine if a
device is a harddisk. With the server hardware outlined below, this detection
fails and fai can not successfully install them. I added a small change
to the udev rules used by fai on the newly installed machine to work
around this. Here my change:

hasn't build yet for alpha and hppa,
that will get fixed on next upload.

have worked with upstream on alpha fix and hppa is a matter
of disabling some network drivers.

2.6.30.1 should come out soon, let's see if it breaks abi.

Bug#517108: base: Couldn't get CPU usage for each process

2009-07-02 Thread Ben Hutchings
I do not know what might cause this bug.  However, the following might
help to diagnose and fix the problem:

1. Boot with notsc added to the kernel command line
2. Boot from a live CD or rescue CD

In each of these cases, please run cat /proc/1/stat to get CPU usage
information and then send the result to this bug report.

Ben.

Bug#535331: possible reason

2009-07-02 Thread Matus UHLAR - fantomas
Looking at differencies, there seems to be key differente between etch's
2.6.18 and 2.6.24 kernels' postinst scripts.

the variable $loader gets initialized to lilo in 2.6.18, and to empty
value in 2.6.24. I don't see any way to (preferrably) autodetect or
configure this variable according to current system configuration.

It would be nice if we could configure the loader manually and the postinst
script could autodetect which loaders are installed, call the loader if
needed (lilo does need, grub may not) and optionally comply if it finds more
than one and none is configured (possible mistake)

I think I am able to code this in perl, if anyone helps me with it...

Bug#523735: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools: please consider supporting the experimental kernel-package out of the box

2009-07-02 Thread Matthijs Kooijman
Hi all,

I've CC'd Manoj on this, since I am proposing a change in kernel-package to
solve this bug.

 [Summary: Kernel package stopped running update-initramfs, but the
 initramfs-tools postinst hook specifically doesn't run for kernel-package
 built kernels]

  7c7,10
   [ -z $2 ] || exit 0
  ---
   [ -z $2 ] ||
   echo warning: not running update-initramfs, see make-kpkg(1) and
   /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz for details 
   exit  0
 
 please use unifiedd diffs, aboves is unreadable.
Actually, I think the above is quit readable, if you look at the
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools script. Some extra context would have
been useful, though.

 also aboves is wrong as it would also be called by *official* linux-2.6
 produced images.

I don't think this is true, since the comment in the script says:

  # kernel-package passes an extra arg; hack to not run under kernel-package
  [ -z $2 ] || exit 0

So it seems that this line should really only apply to kernel-package
generated kernels (official kernels are no longer generated by kernel-package,
according to /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/NEWS.Debian.gz).

However, just adding a warning line really won't solve anything. It seems the
problem is that the initramfs hook script ignores kernel-package (which it
should for older versions), which it shouldn't do for the latest version of
kernel-package. However, the script really has no way to tell that the kernel
currently installing was built by kernel-package = 12.001.

Apparently it can only tell that it was called by kernel-package due to a
second argument, which official kernels presumably don't pass? If this is so,
what use is the argument anyway, if it's not always passed in? From a
kernel-package kernel's postinst script:

  run-parts --verbose --exit-on-error --arg=$version
--arg=$realimageloc$kimage-$version
/etc/kernel/postinst.d

so it seems it passes some location and version as a second argument, but I
can't really tell what. I don't know if the interface for scripts in
/etc/kernel/postinst.d is documented anywhere?


One obvious solution here, would be to let kernel-package no longer pass in
the second argument. This makes it compliant with official kernels, the
initramfs-tools can no longer distinguish them, and all should be well.
Perhaps Manoj can comment on this?

There was some discussion about passing in the  maintainer

 Frans Pop on the debian-kernel mailing list), but not anything beyond
 that. 

 One obvious solution here, would be to let kernel-package no longer pass in
 the second argument. This makes it compliant with official kernels, the
 initramfs-tools can no longer distinguish them, and all should be well.
 Perhaps Manoj can comment on this?

The second argument, which is the location of the kernel image
 (which need not be in /boot, you know) is used by the scripts shipped
 with kernel-package to create features that would not be otherwise
 possible -- unless we also remove from kernel-package the ability to
 install the image in locations other than /boot.

One solution is to have the user deploy scripts into /etc/kernel
 that meets their needs, but this seems to be somewhat tedious for end
 users. A solution might be to create packages that just contain
 conffiles in /etc/kernel/, and who provide the virtual package
 kpkg-image-conf, and have all kernel-package image packages Recommend
 the virtual package. This way, the user will not be impacted by the
 inability of the initramfs-tools package's conffile to cater to the
 other flavours of kernel image packages.

  that. 

 One obvious solution here, would be to let kernel-package no longer pass in
 the second argument. This makes it compliant with official kernels, the
 initramfs-tools can no longer distinguish them, and all should be well.
 Perhaps Manoj can comment on this?

 The second argument, which is the location of the kernel image
  (which need not be in /boot, you know) is used by the scripts shipped
  with kernel-package to create features that would not be otherwise
  possible -- unless we also remove from kernel-package the ability to
  install the image in locations other than /boot.

 One solution is to have the user deploy scripts into /etc/kernel
  that meets their needs, but this seems to be somewhat tedious for end
  users. A solution might be to create packages that just contain
  conffiles in /etc/kernel/, and who provide the virtual package
  kpkg-image-conf, and have all kernel-package image packages Recommend
  the virtual package. This way, the user will not be impacted by the
  inability of the initramfs-tools package's conffile to cater to the
  other flavours of kernel image packages.

As discussed on irc I like the idea of virtual package for conffile
sniplets. But just kpkg-image-conf is to limiting.

I suggest to create at least kpkg-image-conf-ramdisk and
kpkg-image-conf-bootloader. Kernel images build with --initrd would
Depends: kpkg-image-conf-ramdisk and all kernel images would
Recommends: kpkg-image-conf-bootloader. Other things are possible as
well.


That doesn't change the problem though. The problem of having to work
with both official Debian kernel images and custom build images. I
often had both an official image and my own installed. That MUST be
supported.
