Jonas, ... I am severly disapointed with you, and you are a liar by claiming that i didn't hear your arguments, i did hear them, and when i tried to give mines, you refused to continue the conversation. I remember well your arguments, and they where nothing to be proud of, you basically claimed that :
This indicates that you are talking about a single kernel build - the one provided by the kernel team, not powerpc kernels in general. ... I still suspect that your proposed fix, Sven, can hurt in cases other than the specific one you know and care about. But when i tried to give you unequivocable proof that this could not be the case, you wanted to cease the discussion, and where so vocal about it that we where asked to leave the room. So, basically, you told that you don't care about official kernels, and are more interested in some hypothetical self-built kernel, but where not willing to provide a single use-case where such a brokeness could happen. And this is normal, since it is not possible for such a use-case to happen. The ide-generic module is only needed on x86 to fall back in cases that the normal module discovery didn't work. Since this is a legacy problem which doesn't affect powerpc, there is no such problem on powerpc, and furthermore since the debian kernels works just fine without ide-generic, there is no way you can claim ide-generic is *NEEDED*. And even if you where right about some hypothetical case where it breaks, you would still be wrong in your above argument, because it is more important for the official debian kernels to work on known hardware, and yaird was the default back then for debian kernels, than to keep this broken situation for some hypothetical scenario you where not even able to hint at involving self-built kernels. All in all, i believe i was right to escalate this to the technical comittee, it is clear to me that you don't possess the honesty enough to discuss this calmly, and try to deny any wrongness on your part even to the point of lying about your own word and this discussion. It was bad enough when you insulted me in public, but this is too much. Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
