Re: [Cooker] Re: Kernel 2.6 cutover?
My opinion would be we can have 2.6 kernel for workstation installs and 2.4 for server installs. I have been running 2.6 on my laptop and every thing is working so far, save for the PCMCIA. I have not done any investigation into that yet. I would like to have an RC or beta type kernel by or around Jan. Then I can exercise it and find any defects laptop related... my $.02 Cory On Fri, 2003-11-14 at 07:39, Juan Quintela wrote: svetoslav == Svetoslav Slavtchev [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi svetoslav :( svetoslav so far no one (officialy) stated anything about 2.6 and mdk-10.0, am i svetoslav wrong ?

[Cooker] Re: Kernel and Samba
Hi, My Samba box stalls after some usage, mapped drives disappear and users can't write or read from drives. The stalls happen randomly. I'm running 2.4.19-16mdksmp and Samba 2.2.7a-9.2mdk. May I ask is this a kernel bug or Samba bug? Does anyone know a fix for it? I checked the memory from BIOS, they didn't report any errors. BIOS memory check is (mostly) useless. Use memtest86 or similar. Sure I will test it with memtest86 and report back. I have been running LM9.0 with Samba on this box for 3/4 year now. The problem only arose in the last 2 months by random. I swapped brand new Crucial Micron ECC DDR266 SDRAM, but the problem still presists. BTW, the BIOS memory check is quite extensive (Intel claims to scan it block by block). It takes about 1 to 2 minutes for it to scan the memory. Not sure how this compares to memtest86. I guess I will wait after hours before I can run a memtest86. /var/log/kernel/warnings Oct 27 09:19:12 smbserver kernel: xfs_force_shutdown(md(9,5),0x8) called from line 1039 of file xfs_trans.c.

If the kernel has problems with a filesystem, there's nothing much samba can do about it ... I'm using software RAID. Do you know if there are recent updates to the Mandrake kernel that may fix bugs in XFS and md drivers? Funny thing is that only Samba dies.

My only manual install of kernel-utils was when it was broken out some time back, since urpmi --auto-select --auto --no-uninstall didn't install it at that time. That was when everyone was seeing no mkinitrd. Evidently I wasn't the only one to see an issue, but it may have been a transient condition on the cooker (or my mirror) that allowed it to happen.

With the following packages installed: [EMAIL PROTECTED] log]# rpm -q kernel-utils package kernel-utils is not installed [EMAIL PROTECTED] log]# rpm -q bootloader-utils bootloader-utils-1.3-1mdk I still get the error message -- ln: invalid option -- o Try `ln --help' for more information. -- when installing the 2.4.22-1mdk kernel release. As you can see, I have the proper tools installed now, at least as far as I can determine. Someplace in the install process a bad command line is getting sent to ln. It appears that it is removing all of the existing /lib/modules/2.4.XXX/build links, for the previously installed kernels, and not putting the proper link on the current kernel being installed, almost like kversion in the scripts was being set to a wildcard (if that would even work, I'm not knowledgable on perl). Any knowledge about what might be happening or how I might find out would be appreciated. Right now my network connection is really bad (hopefully fixed this Saturday), so I don't know when I'll get this email transmitted.

Maybe there should be a kernel-hack in contrib. There are probably people who are using (or would use, if they knew about it) -mm who aren't doing any multimedia, just because they want some of these patches (like supermount). That's fine, but those people shouldn't be arguing for patches to go into the next version of -mm. And if they had a separate -hack kernel where they could get the patches they wanted, they wouldn't be. If, as Austin Acton suggests, you broaden the definition of multimedia to mean something like pure desktop computing, that still leaves out plenty of patches that have nowhere else to go, and the broader definition will only make people more likely to try to get them crammed into -mm. The obvious question is, who is the hack kernel for? Nobody's going to want to turn on every patch in the world, right? Well, I know quite a few people who configure and rebuild kernels all the time but never patch them.

During the install, if you hit F1, and then linux mem=880m, you can install using the normal installer. I believe this is the real solution to the problem many people have during installation. For the normal system boot, vag=normal is necessary, but works fine. Adrian Golumbovici (see 2324) isolated the problem on his system, and I can confirm that using mem=880m enables me to use the standard installer. I think this is a really important item to get into the errata for 9.1. I'm assuming the issue is 1G (actually 880M) or more of memory, which causes problems with the NVIDIA TI series of cards, and many high end ATI cards as well.

Re: [Cooker] Re: kernel-2.4.19-17 is definately broken
Juan,
when making a preempt kernel for mandrakeclub I think I noticed some errors in
the kernel spec and tried to correct them:
- fixed a nesting case in the spec which would not work on 8.2 boxes
- fixed a gcc 2.96 (also on 8.2 boxes) compile error in an atm driver
- fixed a place were a mv errored out because it couldn't overwrite
directories (this always happened to me, do not know why it seems to work for
others, perhaps because of my config options ). Changed it in to a cp -R and
rm -rf
- fixed a link that seems to point to the wrong place
- 2 mandrake readme's were put in %{target_source} but %doc only finds them
when they are actually in %{_builddir}/%src_dir. As Buchan pointed out,
errors of the doc macro are not fatal and you have to be watching to notice
that something goes wrong.
If you feel any of these changes (see diff) are completely wrong, please let
me know so I can make changes to the club rpms.
Also I included 3 patches from Andrey Borsenkov. One which fixes a spinlock
which you forgot to unlock in supermount, a supermount NLS patch and the
other fixes a scsi timeout issue.
Sadly the supermount spinlock patch only helps people on smp in theory,
although for some reason I cannot reproduce the losing of files on mounted
media with these patches applied, but I can without (maybe just good luck).
I attach a diff of my kernel spec against 2.4.19-17 my spec here. All preempt
changes are preceeded by ###, so they disabled by default and you can quickly
remove them after doing the diff. But I left them in because maybe you want
to include them at one time? As far as testing goes: I had 27 downloads for
9.0 and 29 downloads for 8.2 and nobody reported any problems. The downside
is current included XFS is bugged (doesn't unlock spinlocks) and I had to
disable it. But I hear cvs XFS is better.

So the next question would be why is kernel the real package name.
I am not aware of the historical reason but i may try a guess...
When you install a new kernel, you don't want to delete the previous
one... just in case you were not able to boot the new one, it's better
to keep the previous configuration working.
So, in the rpm framework, you do not want to upgrade the kernel.
It would work that way if the name were something like kernel.
With a name like kernel-2.4.*, kernel rpm are considered as distinct
and there's no problem anymore.

Reason is that people use secure kernel in firewalls, and people have firewalls that are Pentiums with only 32/64MB of RAM. Porblem is that a i686 kernel don't run in a Pentium. If someone really thinks that it should be High Memory, I can put back high memory support. Notice that the machine specification will be redone for Mandrake cooker, perhaps something like: - i586 - i686 - i686SMP - i686-4GB - i686-SMP-4GB - BOOT and now, I need to find a place where to put a secure kernel. Suggestions are welcome. Notice that this are my ideas, I know that rest of mandrake also agrees that we need to change the versions, what hasn't still be agreed is _which_ ones are we going to support. Making SMP versions to work only in i686 upper is a good move because Pentium support for multiprocessing is quite bad, and anyways, there is almost no i586 SMP boards (comparing with i686/athlon boards).

It could be me being stupid, but IIRC they didn't make the multi-CPU stuff entirely happy until very late in the series.

brian This kernel is hanging my box. Here is what happens:
brian I have built the v4l2 and bttv 0.8.33 (would be nice for these to be
brian in the Mandrake kernel as they provide v4l tools with much better
brian information that the stock v4l does) modules and installed them and
brian did the depmod stuff and all that. These are steps which have worked
brian time and time again, and are working currently, right now with:
brian $ uname -r
brian 2.4.18-2mdk
brian But with 2.4.18.10mdk-1-1mdk, when I try to run xawtv the box hangs
brian and the CAPS LOCK and SCROLL LOCK LEDs are blinking in unison. I have
brian to reboot.
brian Any ideas? Anything more I can tell you? Any tests you want me to
brian run?
Sorry for the delay, you entered kdb (I released that kernel by error
with kdb enabled), could you test with a later kernel?
Just tried with 2.4.18-12mdk and got an oops trying to load my freshly
built v4l2/bttv-0.8.33 modules. Much nicer to see the oops than the
flashing LEDs from KDB with no promt to do a backtrace with or
anything. :-)
Here is my oops processed through ksymoops:
ksymoops 2.4.5 on i686 2.4.18-12mdk. Options used
-V (default)
-k /proc/ksyms (default)
-l /proc/modules (default)
-o /lib/modules/2.4.18-12mdk/ (default)
-m /boot/System.map-2.4.18-12mdk (default)
Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information. I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc. ksymoops -h explains the options.
Warning (compare_ksyms_lsmod): module ext3 is in lsmod but not in ksyms, probably no
symbols exported
