Package: linux-image-2.6.18-2-486 Version: 2.6.18-5 Severity: important Tags: d-i
Testing d-i with a 2.6.18 kernel in vmware, pcmciautils's init script doesn't see any pcmcia bridge, so it falls back to trying to load i82365. The modprobe of this module seems to hang for some time, as does a later udevsettle. This makes the installer look like it's locked up for several minutes. While that's going on, this is logged: kernel: Intel ISA PCIC probe: not found. FATAL: Error inserting i82365: no such device kernel: Intel ISA PCIC probe: not found. kernel: Intel ISA PCIC probe: not found. kernel: Intel ISA PCIC probe: not found. kernel: Intel ISA PCIC probe: not found. kernel: Intel ISA PCIC probe: not found. The repeating message continues to repeat 28 times a second, without end. With 2.6.17, I see only the first 2 messages, no repeats, and no hangs. If I run udevsettle by hand, it hangs for about 5 minutes. I doubt that this problem is specific to either vmware or the d-i environment, probably any system w/o pcmcia, that tries to load the module, whether by pcmciautuls or manually, will see this behavior. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.18-2-486 depends on: ii initramfs-tools [linux-initra 0.85b tools for generating an initramfs ii module-init-tools 3.3-pre3-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo linux-image-2.6.18-2-486 recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- see shy jo
