As operator of a university network let me say that most people misunderstand ethernet autonegotiation. When they set speed and duplex they don't realise that setting implicitly disables the NWay autonegotiation protocol at speeds under 1Gbps. Thus they do not think to set exactly the same paramete

What I meant is that I trialled your idea by hacking my init scripts as you suggest. You might want to test your idea further when I modify the script to "just delete it" the boot sequence still fails complaining about a read failure on grubenv.

2009-10-01 Thread Glen Turner
I just had a look at the fix, and I suggest a better fix would be to allow load_env to continue with just a warning if it fails reading the file. It's not like scripts don't have to handle unset environment variables in any case. That would allow for more exotic forms of filesystem corruption. --

Note that this happens more often on Karmic Koala (alpha), with it's use of ext4 for /boot seeming to lead to more instances of 0-length files upon system issues (in my case, the kernel crashed). I was just about to add some more information to support this, but I see Colin has fixed it. Thank you

The commit appears not to realise that the Keyspan PDA-series of dongles should be handled by keyspan_pda.ko and the Keyspan USA-series of dongles should be handled by keyspan.ko.

Hi Alex, Yeah. I think we have two bugs here. One where b-a-s mishandles time and one where b-a-s waits for all clients to finish and if a client hangs about then b-a-s does not exit but does not handle new incoming requests either. I've only looked at the first, on the selfish grounds that this
