 During the last meeting of the D-I 'team' (ahem) which logs can be read

 Apparently, having a new kernel in testing (whether this is 2.6.30 or
 whatever other funky new version appears soon is not really relevant)
 is quite hairy.

It needs quite some work to get reverse dependencies handled and getting
it built on all architectures. Both of which are the main responsability
of the kernel team...

 Could this be prioritized by the involved teams (mostly kernel and
 release, I'd guess) or are there already some plans for this to
 happen?

There are no plans to force anything in like some propose in such
situations as there is no clear plan of the kernel team to get the
remaining issues solved soon after it would be forced in.

So, could we get some input from the kernel team on this topic, then?

Are you guys prioritizing work to get a new kernel in testing or work
to get yet another upstream release in unstable?

(from the above sentence and the discussion we had during the D-I team
meeting, you probably understand where is my own preference going)

Bug#536594: linux-image-2.6.30-1-686: PCMCIA failure

2009-07-11 Thread Mike Marsh
Package: linux-image-2.6.30-1-686
Version: 2.6.30-1
Severity: normal

I've had a problem with my PCMCIA wireless card in 2.6.29 and 2.6.30.
On boot, in 2.6.29 I get a kernel panic when the card is detected, and
in 2.6.30 it just hangs at that point.  If I boot without the card and
then insert it, the hardware address is messed up.  Instead of
12:34:56:78:9A:BC iwconfig reports it as 12-34-56-78-9A-BC-XX-XX, where
the Xs constantly change.  That's on eth0; wlan0_rename shows the correct
address.

The card is an old 802.11b Netgear, with dmesg reporting:
[   12.064260] orinoco_cs 0.15 (David Gibson her...@gibson.dropbear.id.au, 
Pavel Roskin pro...@gnu.org, et al)
[   12.300688] eth0: Hardware identity 800c::0001:

The system info attached shows my kernel as 2.6.26, because that's the
version I have where my wireless works.

Forcibly switching to PATA/libata

Hi folks

I intend to do the switch to PATA in 2.6.31, even if there is nothing to
convert the whole shit yet. I'm sick of all the whining.

Bug#465278: Workaround

2009-07-11 Thread thomas
Hi,

For whomever is interested, I just wrote a simple
workaround (why didn't I come up with this sooner...).

It involves a simple C program + libusb + apm script.

What do we do about IDE drivers that claim the same device ids?  Stop
building them?  Blacklist them?

eth0 is the wireless master device for the card, which do you not
normally need to concern yourself with.  wlan0_rename is the device you
should normally use with iwconfig, ifconfig etc.

You should be able to fix the naming by adding the text:
, ATTR{type}==1
to the line in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules that refers to
this card's MAC address.

Thanks -- that fixes half the problem.  I can boot into 2.6.30 without
the card, and on insertion it then initializes the network.

I still have the boot-time problem, though.  The last three lines I
get before progress stops are:

hostap_cs: Registered netdevice wifi0
pcmcia: Driver needs updating to support IRQ sharing.
hostap_cs: index 0x01: , irq 3, io 0x2100-0x213f

If you mean this in general then you are misinformed. If you mean atm,
then you know the answer to your following question.

 what are the remaining issues that you are concerned about?

The ones that prevent linux-2.6 from migrating once it would be unblocked.

Like FTBFS of linux-modules-extra-2.6 on 3 architectures I guess? That 
seemed to me like a valid reason not to want to migrate .29 to testing.
