Bug#334273: linux-image-2.6.13-1-686: /etc/init.d/dbus-1 causes kernel oops

Just preventing the initscript from being run makes the kernel not oops

Bug#334275: linux-image-2.6.13-1-686: ide error messages come up

2005-10-16 Thread Michael Meskes
Package: linux-image-2.6.13-1-686

Severity: normal

With 2.6.13 I get the following IDE error messages during boot time:

I have never seen any of these with 2.6.12 or earlier kernels. The

more information?

Sorry, my fault. I sent in the wrong oops. Actually the oops made me try
nv again and since it works correctly with my card now I was finally
able to get rid of nvidia.

But the Oops didn't disappear. Just to be sure I tried again this
morning. Here's the log entry:

Well, at first I thought the same, but when I went back to 2.6.12 for
another reason the message disappeared. That's kind of strange. I do not
get any ide error message with 2.6.12 and just this one during
initilisation with 2.6.13. 

Is there a way to make sure it's really the hardware? Usually with hw
problem the message comes up more often.

Not sure whether the severity is correct, but this time the bug hit me
with a dataloss and I suppose that others might/will experience the
same. I doubt it's a good idea to have this kernel in Lenny, especially
with the patch being that easy.

Right, but there are also many systems choking. And they are all in the
risk of losing data.

If 2.6.25 is not released with Lenny fine with me. Do you have an URL so
I can go out and try the new kernel? I couldn't find it in NEW. Might be
better to close the report once the new kernel is available, but this is
kind of nitpicking. :-)

You're absolutely right, but this crash situation can be avoided and
thus this bug is the very reason for my data loss which admittedly was not a
significant one.

I know that one but thought the first "official" kernel would be
available.

Bug#479709: reopened

2008-08-12 Thread Michael Meskes
I can confirm that a) the patch is applied and b) the system still freezes.
Thus I reopen the bug. I ran 2.6.26 without a problem for quite some time until
I discovered that my chrony still wasn't starting. After starting it again the
system froze in a matter of seconds. Could anyone of you NOT experiencing the
problem so far try running chrony to see whether this triggers it? Also for
those of you having the same problem, does disabling chrony help?

Bug#494144: Significant problem

2008-09-10 Thread Michael Meskes
severity 494144 serious
thanks

I think we have a very severe problem here that must be fixed before Lenny is
released. There may be a solution around that I don't know or see that lies
outside of the kernel and thus the bug should be reassigned, but still I think
this needs a fix before the release.

Now to my reasoning, :

Jordi already pointed out there was a change in kernel
behaviour with 2.6.26 in that the kernel default when not finding symbol
version information. Up to kernel 2.6.25 the kernel called itself tainted and
accepted the module. Since 2.6.26. the kernel throws an error. There is,
however, a way to insmod modules without version information, namely by using
"modprobe --force". But this is no longer possible because the kernel is
compiled without setting CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_LOAD.

This has an effect for all out-of-tree modules, I stumbled upon it by looking
at virtualbox-ose-guest-modules. There simply appears to be no way at all to
include the vboxvfs module which depends on the vboxadd module.

I might be wrong and like to hear what I missed, but if I didn't miss anything
we are in must-fix situation.

Which of course is easy to say in hindsight. I do not remember seeing a similar
statement before the upload.

Besides I agree that virtualbox-ose 1.6.6 should move into Lenny because
upstream considers this a bugfix release. This btw is also the reason why it
was uploaded to sid. After all it fixes some bugs.

Yes, in terms of Debian bugs. But it does close a lot of upstream bugs. Granted
they weren't reported for Debian but they were available in Debian too.
Therefore I think the release team's decision to unblock 1.6.6 is the best
scenarion anyway.

The bug is not fixed. I don't care which piece of the software broke,
the fact in the matter is that the virtualbox-ose module is not build by
linux-modules-extra. That means the bug is still present.

Of course the reason matters, but the bug simply was about a binary
package not being available. IMO the only way to fix this is to deliver
the package.

Fine with me. I don't mind having this bug reassigned. To be honest in
my opinion we should have two open bugs, one against
virtualbox-ose-source and one against linux-modules-extra-2.6 with the
latter one being blocked by the former. I still disagree with you guys
closing the bug though, though.

Just for the record we should note that this bug
had neither been reported against virtualbox-ose-source nor even
communicated with the package maintainers. But then, given that you are
part of the maintainer team for virtualbox-ose-source as well as
the linux-modules-extra-2.6 team (or even its sole maintainer, too lazy
to check) you might consier this enough information.

> extremely sophisticated way to kill peoples time.

No, just a try to keep our bug tracking system as open and informative
as it can be.

Maybe we should agree upon disagreeing on this one. I try to view this
from the user's point of view and the only way to help the user is to
provide a package. But then Torsten might have meant the definition
files only.

2008-04-12 Thread Michael Meskes
> compilation failed when the last upload of lme happened, so most likely
> no other attempt before 2.6.25.

Where can we find this? Is Torsten correct with the assumption that only
guest-sources fail? Judging from the build log on
http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=linux-modules-extra-2.6;ver=2.6.24-7;arch=amd64;stamp=1207865393
it seems that virtualbox-ose sources are only build on i386:

...
** Using build dependencies supplied by package:
Build-Depends: ... virtualbox-ose-guest-source [i386], virtualbox-ose-source 
[i386]
Checking for already installed source dependencies...
...

BTW the very same link shows that a different source package is failing amd64
build.

Yes, this looks like the well known problem of mixing i386 and amd64
builds. It appears to me that the culprit is lme setting ARCH to i386
when doing a amd64 build on i386, well at least it appears to set it to
this value, please correct me if I'm wrong. The virtualbox-ose Makefile,
however, uses ARCH to learn about the arch it is supposed to build for. 

I haven't tried reproducing this in detail but assuming my assumption is
right, what do we do?

Is ARCH a reserved variable? Or is it just a design decision by lme? Or
in other words, can we change the name of this variable? According to
/usr/src/linux-headers-*/Makefile ARCH should be the target architecture:

When performing cross compilation for other architectures ARCH shall be set
# to the target architecture. (See arch/* for the possibilities).

Isn't this amd64 in this case?

I'm experiencing the same problem on my HP nx7400 laptop but do not get

I tried both, the amd64 and the 686 flavour and both fail.

I spend some time trying to figure out what's going on, using different
boot option, compiling my own kernel, adding debug output, etc. which
took some time because it sometimes took about a day before the system
froze. At the moment I do run 2.6.25 with an uptime of ~ 26 hours
(including suspend time in between) without a problem. It's too early to
tell whether my last change was the reason, but you might want to try
too. All I did was to disable the high precision timer by adding
"hpet=disable" to my command line. 

Checking whether the right rtc module is included is probably the next
step, but before I need to keep it running some more time to see whether
the problem is really fixed.

I tried the Ubuntu 2.6.26 package which was the kernel that ran for

virtualbox-ose modules

2009-02-16 Thread Michael Meskes
Hi,

now that's Lenny is out I'd like to migrate virtualbox-ose-modules from
experimental to sid. As agreed upon we have a new source package similar to lme
that only builds virtualbox-soe modules. With the binary packages getting the
same name I wonder what's the best way to migrate? Upload a lme version without
those packages and as soon as this makes it into the archive upload the new
package?

Well it was proposed by me to this very list and no one objected. So in the
view of the good old Unix world I consider this agreed upon. However, I don't
mind going for a different solution. You were the one not wanting to build
virtualbox-ose module packages anymore.

Sorry, I don't understand this. You don't want to remove virtualbox-ose from
lme, okay, but what does the second sentence mean?

Could anyone enlighten me please, where these events are to be found? acpid does
not just read the netlink inteface but also the input layer and thus is
*supposed* to also get events coming over an input device. You can use kacpimon
to try it out.

virtualbox-ose modules, yet again

2009-07-06 Thread Michael Meskes
Hi,

with a new vbox major version out people again start bugging us about the
not-yet-existing modules package. As a vbox user/maintainer I have to rebuild
the modules for a new vbox version as well as for a new kernel version so I
wouldn't mind uploading it too, meaning we will get a lot bug reports less than
with the current setup that rebuilds the vbox module package with lme. The last
time I brought up this topic the discussion stopped somewhere in between, so
I'd like to bring this up again and settle it for good.

A test package is available in experimental albeit only having a 2.6.26 version
as this was the actual kernel when vbox2 went from experimental to sid.

What do you guys think?

The version has to be the same afaik. It appears that there is neither a
backward nor a forward compatibility. I was under the impression that a 1.6.6
module works with a 1.6.2 application but a test showed that it doesn't.

Therefore I wonder whether we should add a conflict into the module's control
file. Comments anyone?

But it's just a recommendation then. There is no dependency on the module
package in the vbox package.

It does work without a module, but you cannot start a VM. Now this reduces the
functionality significantly but still there is functionality (like working with
disk images) that works without it. Besides, people might install the module
from source I think.

Bug#505440: initramfs-tools: leaks environment

2008-11-12 Thread Michael Meskes
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.92l
Severity: important

A lot of the environment is leaked into into creating problems in other init
scripts. I'm not sure whether the severity is right, but some other init
scripts do not work as expected because of some of the environment they
inherit.

Here's a list created by adding env >"$(mktemp -t foobar.env.)" to the
boot process:

Well there is. If this really was an ABI change the kernel version number
should have changed ttbomk which then would have easily told you to rebuild.
After all there would have been no modules for that new kernel.

Are you sure your headers are correct? I tried both, the dkms build and the m-a 
build and both worked for me.

I guess he was talking about the bug report. The message is this:

This is quite obviously a kernel backtrace. I have no idea why you reported
this against a user level software package. Thus I reassign it to the kernel I
*think* you might be running. Also I changed the severity although I don't
really know what the right serity for a kernel problem like this is.

Bug#660265: please include patch to select rc6 modes via kernel parameter

2012-02-17 Thread Michael Meskes
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 3.2.6-1
Severity: wishlist

Eugeni Dodonov from Intel proposed a patch to make rc6 modes selectable via
kernel parameter. With these patch it is possible to enable rc6 but not deep or
deepest rc6, a setting that makes ultrabooks, well at least the ASUS Zenbook,
work very reliable but still get good battery time.

It would be nice of this patch could be added to the Debian kernel.

From: Eugeni Dodonov 
Date: Tue, 3 Jan 2012 15:25:08 -0200
Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: allow to select rc6 modes via kernel parameter

This allows to select which rc6 modes are to be used via kernel parameter,
via a bitmask parameter. E.g.:

- to enable rc6, i915_enable_rc6=1
- to enable rc6 and deep rc6, i915_enable_rc6=3
- to enable rc6 and deepest rc6, use i915_enable_rc6=5
- to enable rc6, deep and deepest rc6, use i915_enable_rc6=7

Note that this changes behavior - previously, value of 1 would enable both
RC6 and deep RC6. Now it should only enable RC6 and deep/deepest RC6
stages must be enabled manually.

Bug#660265: please include patch to select rc6 modes via kernel parameter

AFAIK included in 3.4.

It is already configurable in 3.2, but you can only switch it on. This include
RC6 but also deep RC6 which makes (some) system stop quite frequently. That's
why the default is to switch it off completely. However, that gives a much
higher battery drain.

Yes, the same as in 3.2.

Sorry, I should have double checked my information.

I'm currently testing this. And yes, this one seems to solve the problem I was
trying to get addressed.

Bug#660265: Heads-Up

2012-02-26 Thread Michael Meskes
I've been running a kernel with the following two patches applied for a couple
days now and haven't seen a sudden shutdown since:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2012-February/015131.html
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2012-February/015319.html

If these could be applied that would be great.

Thanks.

Michael

Great! Thanks a lot!

Yes, you're absolutely correct.
