Bug#284286: i386 install report

severity 284286 grave
reassign 284286 kernel-image-2.6.8-1-386
tag 284286 d-i
retitle 284286 incompatable symbols between -10 and -5 kernel versions
thanks

I just filed a similar bug on the 2.4.27 kernel. Like that one, this
kernel has changed all of its module symbols in the most recent -10
build, which makes loading a module from the -5 build on a system
running the -10 kernel fail:

~ # modprobe generic
WARNING: Error inserting ide_core
(/lib/modules/2.6.8-1-386/kernel/drivers/ide/i
de-core.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
FATAL: Error inserting generic
(/lib/modules/2.6.8-1-386/kernel/drivers/ide/pci/
generic.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

Tail of dmesg:

generic: Unknown symbol noautodma   
generic: Unknown symbol ide_setup_pci_device   
generic: Unknown symbol ide_pci_unregister_driver   
generic: Unknown symbol ide_pci_register_driver

~ # modprobe sata_sil

FATAL: Error inserting sata_sil 
(/lib/modules/2.6.8-1-386/kernel/drivers/scsi/sata_sil.ko): Unknown symbol in 
module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

See the other grave bug I filed on the 2.4.27 kernel for discussion of
how this makes life utterly miserable for d-i.

I don't know if this affects new kernel build for other arches than i386
too.

Thanks for the information. I finally installed with debian-installer
rc2, with "linux26".

Bug#284286: i386 install report

2004-12-05 Thread Lionel Elie Mamane
Package: installation-reports

Debian-installer-version: daily on 5 Dec 2004
uname -a: 
Date: 5 Dec 2004, 09:32 am
Method: netboot, then tiscali.be mirror

Machine: IBM Thinkpad X40
Processor: Intel Pentium M LV 1200MHz
Memory: 512MB
Output of lspci and lspci -n:
No lspci available in the installer's shell, but see bug 275506, it is
about the same machine. (According to IBM's warranty repair, they
replaced only the hard disk, so should give the same lscpi output.)

Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Initial boot worked:[O]
Configure network HW:   [O]
Config network: [O]
Detect CD:  [ ] (machine has no CD drive)
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives: [E]
Partition hard drives:  [ ]
Create file systems:[ ]
Mount partitions:   [ ]
Install base system:[ ]
Install boot loader:[ ]
Reboot: [ ]

Comments/Problems:

The 2.6 install option uses mismatching kernel and modules.

I booted with "linux26". hw-detect tries to load piix for 'Intel
Corporation 82801DBM', but this fails:

 ide_core: disagrees about version of symbol dma_alloc_coherent
 ide_core: Unknown symbol dma_alloc_coherent
 (the same with dma_free_coherent)
 Then a bunch of "Unknown symbol"s for piix, usb-storage, via82cxxx,
 trm290, triflex, slc90e66, sis5513, siimage, serverworks, sc1200,
 rz1000, pdc202xx_old, pdc202xx_new, opti621, ns87415, hpt34x,
 generic, cy82c693, cs5530, cs5520, cmd64x, atiixp, amd74xx, alim15x3,
 aec62xx, ide-generic, ide-disk,.

Hence, the hard disk is not found, and installation cannot proceed.

I also tried with ftp.fr.debian.org, same result.
