Bug#890034: Backport of Perc 740/840 for Stretch

2018-09-16 Thread Phil Lavin
We have some spare hardware with a H740P installed. Would having access to the 
IDRAC to run some tests help?

Subject: Backport of Perc 740/840 for Stretch

Hi,
I've pulled a number of upstream commits for the megaraid_sas driver which add 
support for the Perc 740/840 RAID controllers to the Stretch kernel.

Successfully tested with a H840 on a current Dell PowerEdge R440 and I've also 
tested the built kernel on a system which was previously supported by the 
megaraid_sas driver (LSI MegaRAID SAS 2008 (Perc H310 Mini)) and that continues 
to work fine as well.

Test debs (I'd appreciate more tests on MegaRAID controllers, the 740 should be 
identical to the 840 except that it allows for less drives) are at 
https://people.debian.org/~jmm/perc/

Merge request at https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/merge_requests/61

Cheers,
Moritz



Bug#890034: comment on 890034

2018-02-15 Thread Phil Lavin
Thanks for updating the issue, Salvatore. The motivation behind raising the bug 
was to ask that the driver be backported to 4.9. Dell's Gen 14 hardware with 
Perc H740P has only been around a few months and, given that Debian 10 is a 
fair way away from being released, I suspect that there will be a raft of users 
wishing to install Debian on this hardware in the not so distant future who 
will be unable to do so without manually compiling and loading the driver from 
Dell into both the installer and the installed OS.

If a bug isn't the right way to request a backport, can you advise how it 
should be done?



Bug#890034: linux-image-4.9.0-5-amd64: No driver support for Perc H740P RAID Controller

2018-02-10 Thread Phil Lavin
Package: src:linux
Version: 4.9.65-3+deb9u2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Latest Debian 9.3 does not have support for Perc H740P RAID controllers. The 
megaraid_sas module likely needs to be
updated. I believe it is supported from kernel 4.11 on Debian and it works 
correctly on latest Debian 10.

These controllers ship with new generation (Gen 14) Dell servers. The drivers 
that Dell supply for SUSE compile
and work correctly on Debian, though it makes the install process, kernel 
upgrades, etc. extremely involved.

It would be desirable that support for H740P be backported into Debian 9.

The Ubuntu bug is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1683587. 
Although it is "Won't Fix",
it does work in Ubuntu LTS.

2012-05-01 Thread Phil Lavin
Further confirmed that installing fam and libfam0 solves the problem:

 

apt-get install fam libfam0

 

I have previously also experienced the check for configuration errors with
the FAM/Gamin library bug which does not seem to have reoccurred after
installing fam.

I have had both installed for a long time however this issue only started
after I did an apt-get dist-upgrade the other day and proftpd failed with
the same error.
