NFSv4 bug in linux-3.4+

This is a heads up for the Debian Kernel Team, though you likely are aware of the problem already. There is a bug affecting NFS version 4 server (nfsd), and the patch has now hit Linus' tree: commit fffaee365fded09f9ebf2db19066065fa54323c3 Author: Konstantin Khlebnikov Date: Tue Jun 5 21:36:33

Need multiarch aware linux-libc-dev when using 'make deb-pkg'

I just upgraded to gcc-multilib 4.6.1-3 and found that APT blew away /usr/include/asm without warning. This directory belongs to my locally-built 'linux-libc-dev' which is produced using upstream kernel sources and 'make deb-pkg'. I do local builds for testing upstream kernel commits relevant to

Bug#493479: test build

Bug#493479: linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64: Bisecting complete, and LKML message sent

Bug#493479: linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64: can't see a quick fix in the sources

I've taken this search for a bugfix about as far as I can, without outside help. Nothing that I've tried has allowed me to create a 2.6.26 kernel for my "fileserver" machine with the boot parameter "hpet=disable". That also includes the stock 2.6.26-1 kernel. (On my "desktop" machine, both stock

Bug#493479: linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64: RTC suggestions do not make kernel bootable
