Bug#555093: Missing kernel-img.conf makes a debian kernel not installable

2009-11-08 Thread Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.31-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

There is no /etc/kernel-img.con on a fresh debootstrap sid. Installing a
kernel leads to:

|mikejones:/var/lib# dpkg --configure -a
|Setting up linux-image-2.6.31-1-amd64 (2.6.31-1) ...
|Running depmod.

As far as I understand debconf, there must be a template and input() for
${package_name}/postinst/create-kimage-link-$version in order to get a
value saved. Since I did not find it I guess that this can't work.

If the bootloader is palo than the answer is ignored anyway so the
question is not required there.

kernel-img.conf(5) says that do_symlinks defaults to yes.

This could also fix piuparts [0].

Bug#555102: firmware-ralink not working with 3Com 3CRPCIN175 (RT-2600)

2009-11-08 Thread Stefan Hett

Package: firmware-ralink
Version: 0.14+lenny2

I've got an 3Com 3CRPCIN175 installed but when calling iwconfig no 
device is listed.

The following dmesg is logged:

[   14.875549] ACPI: PCI Interrupt :02:0c.0[A] - GSI 20 (level, 
low) - IRQ 20
[   14.882920] phy0 - rt61pci_init_eeprom: Error - Invalid RF chipset 
detected.
[   14.882966] phy0 - rt2x00lib_probe_dev: Error - Failed to allocate 
device.

[   14.883024] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device :02:0c.0 disabled

lspci reports:
02:0c.0 Unclassified device [0080]: RaLink RT2600 802.11 MIMO

hence I suspect that the firmware-ralink should be the correct driver 
for this device and it ought to work with the 3Com card.


I've also tested the latest testing build of firmware-ralink (version 
0.18) which reports the same dmesg.

Actually, firmware-ralink contains firmware, not a driver.  The driver
(rt61pci) is part of the kernel package.
  
Oh u'r absolutely right of course. :-) Thanks for reassigning the bug to 
the proper package.

I've been trying for an hour now getting the kernel from experimental 
but failed. I've tried adding the following entry to the sources.list

I don't see any listed kernel in

FYI:
I've also tried manually building the latest driver version available at 
the ralink page:

  Did this filesystem corruption happen only once, or more than that?
 
 It did happen every time I tried, with one exception.
 
 
 
  Is just X crashing, or is the system completely unresponsive
  (including over the network)?  If the former, do you have
  corresponding X and kernel logs?
 
 It's not like a freeze of X. For example I'm able to switch to a
 serial terminal but I can't login. The response is:
 
 /bin/login: error while loading shared libraris:
 /lib/libpam_misc.so.0: invalid ELF header
 
 Ext3-fs error (device hda6): ext3_lookup: deletet inode referenced: 
 
 
 On the other hand some tools like pwd might still work. However the
 system is unusable after a crash because it's impossible to start
 basic programs or even login and I guess it won't work over the
 network either. I didn't try that but samba didn't work anymore.
 
 
 Anyway I'm going to add kernel and Xorg logs. Maybe you'll find
 something interesting in there.
 
 One Crash happened Nov 7. approx 13:00 that one is in the kern.log
 
filesystem corruption is likely to be a kernel bug, so reassigning this
bug over there.
As another data point, does this also happen after a fresh boot, or
only after a suspend/resume cycle?

Julien

You should install linux-image-2.6.31-trunk-686.  Upgrading

 When using this driver, the card showed up iwconfig.

Ralink's official driver has somewhat better hardware support but is so
poorly integrated with the kernel wireless networking system that
external developers ending up writing a completely new driver for
inclusion in the kernel.  If it works for you, that's great, but rt61pci
still needs to be fixed.

Bug#548290: A solution (for me, at least)

2009-11-08 Thread Christophe Rhodes
Hi,

A little bit more digging, and I think I know what's going on, for me at
least.  (Other reporters' experience might vary)

The machine in question originally had Windows installed on it; the
Linux installation was performed several years ago now, and completely
wiped all traces of Windows from the machine (i.e. reused the entire
disk, not resizing partitions and using empty space).  This reassignment
of the partition, however, didn't (and probably still doesn't) write
zeros everywhere; as I understand it, there are some bits of the
superblock left untouched by a repartitioning like this.

Meanwhile, the blkid command (or rather the partition detection logic in
libblkid1) in util-linux-ng was rewritten recently.  The new logic,
present in util-linux_2.16-4 (i.e. the version in testing and unstable
as I write) is not sufficiently robust in its detection, and returns a
false positive of vfat, based on the remnants of the disk superblock
from way back when, as well as the ext3 filesystem that is really there.

The blkid command, again as I understand it, is called to populate the
/dev/disk/by-uuid/ directory in the initramfs.  If it detects two
filesystems simultaneously, the uuid is not inserted (it's treated as a
failure).  This explains both why the disk does not show up in the
initramfs /dev/disk/by-uuid directory, and also why it's only affecting
this newer (2.6.30-2) kernel on my system: that's the only one whose
initramfs has been generated using the new blkid.

The solution that I have found acceptable is to apply the last patch in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/+bug/428318:
specifically, the patch to make vfat detection more robust at
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33034738/util-linux-ng-2.16.1.patch.
(This patch has already made it into util-linux-ng's upstream
repository, but so has a lot else :-) Then regenerating the affected
initramfs with update-initramfs -k 2.6.30-2-686 -u gave me a booting
system.

So to summarize, this isn't (at least for me) a bug in the kernel image,
but with the util-linux-ng tools, and maybe this solution (or others
documented in the launchpad bug threads, such as writing zeros to the
first 512 bytes of the partition -- I didn't feel brave enough to do
that) will help the other people reporting this bug here.

Best,

Christophe

 As another data point, does this also happen after a fresh boot, or

The problem also occurs after a reboot.

Package: initramfs-tools

Severity: normal

When compressed a full modules.dep file is larger than a compressed
depmod binary:
# gzip -9  /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-686/modules.dep |wc -c

# ls -l sbin/depmod

When using a modules.dep file with the modules=list option the
uncompressed file is 2601 bytes.

It seems that using depmod instead of a modules.dep file is not going to
save initramfs size for anyone, it just adds another program to be run
(more compute time and another thing which can potentially break) and
does no good.

the depmod in ramfs is blazing fast.

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.91a
Severity: wishlist

When running a degraded raid1 array lilo fails with a fatal error (that
can be overriden with -H).

Although this is obviously desirable, it effectively breaks any upgrades
of packages that run update-initramfs during post-install. Thus my
suggestion is running lilo -H and rely on the user to rerun lilo after
fixing the array.

Ideally, update-initramfs should run lilo -t and grep for this specific
problem, and if detected, it would prompt for overriding while warning
about the risks, and if the user decides to do so, run lilo -H.
