Dear all, I today noticed that a new Debian kernel is available from [1]. Thanks to whoever built that one - most likely Adrian.
[1]: http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/pool-ia64/main/l/linux/linux-image-6.3.0-0-mckinley_6.3.2-1~exp1_ia64.deb I currently have the rx2620 and the rx2800-i2 at home and gave it a test on them, and... ...it is working more or less flawlessly on both systems. The boot regression at where the initramfs is extracted is gone for the rx2620. @Pedro: Maybe you give this kernel a try on your rx2660 to see if it is working for that one, too. It will take me until next week to test it on my Montvale driven systems and the rx4640 with Madisons. There is a reproducible issue for the rx2800-i2, though, happening just after the first occurance of a message from the igb driver for the four built-in PCI-e NICs (longer log on [2]). I cut the intertwined USB messages here: ``` [ 37.566439] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 37.571640] WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 155 at kernel/irq/msi.c:196 msi_domain_free_descs+0x240/0x280 [ 37.582425] GSI 19 (level, low) -> CPU 7 (0x0700) vector 75 [ 37.583481] Modules linked in: igb(+) uhci_hcd(+) ehci_pci ehci_hcd i2c_algo_bit usbcore ptp pps_core i2c_core usb_common [ 37.603864] CPU: 7 PID: 155 Comm: (udev-worker) Not tainted 6.3.0-0-mckinley #1 Debian 6.3.2-1~exp1 [ 37.622180] Hardware name: hp Integrity rx2800 i2, BIOS 01.93 09/12/2012 [ 37.622180] [ 37.622180] Call Trace: [ 37.640068] [<a0000001000156d0>] show_stack.part.0+0x30/0x60 [ 37.640068] sp=e00000084649fa70 bsp=e000000846499c18 [ 37.652236] [<a000000100015950>] show_stack+0x90/0xc0 [ 37.652236] sp=e00000084649fa70 bsp=e000000846499be0 [ 37.696069] [<a0000001014c3750>] dump_stack_lvl+0xf0/0x160 [ 37.696069] sp=e00000084649fc40 bsp=e000000846499b70 [ 37.720069] [<a0000001014c37f0>] dump_stack+0x30/0x60 [ 37.720069] sp=e00000084649fc40 bsp=e000000846499b18 [ 37.720069] [<a00000010006c060>] __warn+0x160/0x200 [ 37.720069] sp=e00000084649fc40 bsp=e000000846499ad0 [ 37.748236] [<a00000010006c400>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x300/0x360 [ 37.748236] sp=e00000084649fc40 bsp=e000000846499a58 [ 37.776069] [<a000000100199060>] msi_domain_free_descs+0x240/0x280 [ 37.776069] sp=e00000084649fc70 bsp=e000000846499a18 [ 37.800069] [<a000000100199cd0>] msi_domain_free_msi_descs_range+0x50/0x80 [ 37.800069] sp=e00000084649fc80 bsp=e0000008464999d8 [ 37.826759] [<a000000100c26cf0>] pci_msi_teardown_msi_irqs+0x90/0xe0 [ 37.826759] sp=e00000084649fc90 bsp=e0000008464999b8 [ 37.850941] [<a000000100c26010>] pci_free_msi_irqs+0x30/0xa0 [ 37.850941] sp=e00000084649fc90 bsp=e000000846499990 [ 37.874941] [<a000000100c21ed0>] pci_disable_msix+0xb0/0xe0 [ 37.874941] sp=e00000084649fc90 bsp=e000000846499968 [ 37.898941] [<a000000200baa130>] igb_reset_interrupt_capability+0x230/0x260 [igb] [ 37.898941] sp=e00000084649fc90 bsp=e000000846499928 [ 37.920068] [<a000000200bcb9d0>] igb_probe+0x970/0x3380 [igb] [ 37.920068] sp=e00000084649fc90 bsp=e000000846499858 [ 37.950180] [<a000000100c082d0>] local_pci_probe+0x90/0x140 [ 37.950180] sp=e00000084649fca0 bsp=e000000846499818 [ 37.974181] [<a000000100c09d50>] pci_device_probe+0x190/0x520 [ 37.974181] sp=e00000084649fca0 bsp=e0000008464997c0 [ 37.998180] [<a000000100e61100>] really_probe+0x260/0xb20 [ 37.998180] sp=e00000084649fcc0 bsp=e000000846499770 [ 38.024068] [<a000000100e61c50>] __driver_probe_device+0x290/0x420 [ 38.024068] sp=e00000084649fcc0 bsp=e000000846499730 [ 38.024068] [<a000000100e61e30>] driver_probe_device+0x50/0x160 [ 38.024068] sp=e00000084649fcc0 bsp=e0000008464996e8 [ 38.052236] [<a000000100e626c0>] __driver_attach+0x380/0x4c0 [ 38.052236] sp=e00000084649fcc0 bsp=e0000008464996b0 [ 38.052236] [<a000000100e5bc40>] bus_for_each_dev+0x100/0x1c0 [ 38.052236] sp=e00000084649fcc0 bsp=e000000846499668 [ 38.086181] [<a000000100e5fd40>] driver_attach+0x40/0x60 [ 38.086181] sp=e00000084649fcd0 bsp=e000000846499648 [ 38.110180] [<a000000100e5ea90>] bus_add_driver+0x230/0x520 [ 38.110180] sp=e00000084649fcd0 bsp=e000000846499600 [ 38.134180] [<a000000100e64680>] driver_register+0x100/0x360 [ 38.134180] sp=e00000084649fcd0 bsp=e0000008464995c8 [ 38.142437] [<a000000100c07720>] __pci_register_driver+0xc0/0xe0 [ 38.142437] sp=e00000084649fcd0 bsp=e000000846499598 [ 38.166941] [<a0000002002480c0>] igb_init_module+0xc0/0x120 [igb] [ 38.166941] sp=e00000084649fcd0 bsp=e000000846499578 [ 38.184236] [<a00000010000a940>] do_one_initcall+0xe0/0x560 [ 38.184236] sp=e00000084649fcd0 bsp=e000000846499548 [ 38.184236] [<a0000001001d2280>] do_init_module+0xa0/0x440 [ 38.184236] sp=e00000084649fd10 bsp=e000000846499510 [ 38.214439] [<a0000001001d7820>] load_module+0x4f20/0x5620 [ 38.214439] sp=e00000084649fd10 bsp=e000000846499378 [ 38.254437] [<a0000001001d84a0>] __do_sys_finit_module+0x180/0x220 [ 38.254437] sp=e00000084649fd90 bsp=e000000846499340 [ 38.264236] [<a0000001001d85d0>] sys_finit_module+0x30/0x60 [ 38.264236] sp=e00000084649fe30 bsp=e0000008464992e8 [ 38.264236] [<a00000010000c9e0>] ia64_ret_from_syscall+0x0/0x20 [ 38.264236] sp=e00000084649fe30 bsp=e0000008464992e0 [ 38.303510] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- ``` [2]: https://pastebin.com/jrUvjRcN **** Earlier today I built a 6.4.0-rc2 kernel with kernel config based on "config-6.1.0-9-mckinley" and localmodconfig matching the needed modules for my rx2620 **and** rx2800-i2 combined. Unfortunately the resulting kernel "crashes" as soon as udevd starts and that for both systems similarly. But yeah, the initramfs issues are gone for the rx2620. If someone is interested, the error messages are on [3] and [4] for rx2620 and rx2800-i2 respectively. [3]: https://pastebin.com/SAUKbG7Z [4]: https://pastebin.com/v1TTB2x3 Well, rc2 might just be to early to conclude that there is a new error. And it could also be an issue of my kernel config. I'll try to observe how later kernels behave. Cheers, Frank
