hppa is as well. It is still useful to have the 2.4 kernel-images in the 
archive since they are still more stable on some machines. Maybe 
willy/kyle/thibault can comment more.

For woody, I have a whole bunch of updates.  I've tested them on the
2.4.18 kernel, so they can be ported to 2.4.16, .17 and .19, but that's
like 30 patches unfortunately.  A volunteer for this would be welcome.

Joey

There are some architectures where 2.4 is required, its
because of these that it seems that we are stuck with 2.4 for Etch.
  alpha (installer), m68k (2.6 only works on amiga), s390 (installer), 
  mips, mipsel

There are some architectures where 2.4 has been abandonded uptream,
and these are being removed from the arcive
  powerpc  (ok, thats one, not some)

There are some architectures, like i386, which are pretty well
maintained upstream for 2.4, so it seems reasonable to keep them,
as we need 2.4 because of the first group, and its not a whole lot of
extra effort - if it is lets get rid of them. I'm aware of the udev
issue, I'm happy for that to be a catalyst for canning 2.4 where
possible. But what about the arches that need 2.4. Does that mean
we have to backport udev anyway?


I might add, that right now I'm doing the bulk of 2.4 maintenance,
and my current plan is to just keep patching 2.4.27, the sarge kernel,
and eventually, once all the current teething problems are ironed
out with the single-source 2.6 package, use that framework to
produce a new 2.4.X, probably .35 or so by then.

Also, I only have powerpc (not supported by 2.4) and i386 hardware
at my disposal, so it would be very convenient for me to keep
2.4.27 around for i386. Though I'm not really concerend about
being able to install 2.4.27, just have something to test, so
I guess that doesn't have to be a package that appears in Debian.
But if I'm building the things, it seems like it might as well.

Finally, the lists above are probably incomplete, please jump
in with additional information if you have it.

hey weiyun,
  This list is a Debian list.  Though related to Debian[1], the Ubuntu

Although being able to ship just one kernel for all our ports in etch is
everyone's first choice, the release team has not made any decision yet to
exclude 2.4 kernels from etch if they're needed for a particular arch or
subarch.  Given that the kernel team is still rolling new 2.4 updates in
unstable, and d-i still defaults to 2.4 on a majority of archs, I think it
is premature to drop hotplug support for 2.4 at this point.

It would certainly be a big help to the release team in making this decision
if the kernel team would begin to drop 2.4 kernels as early as possible in
the release cycle for those architectures where they believe they are no
longer needed.  Together with working out which ports are actually viable
for etch under the new requirements (which of course first requires fully
specifying those requirements), we should be able to get a clear picture in
a couple of months of just what the kernel requirements are for etch.

2005-08-24 Thread weiyun lv
Ubuntu reboot: kernel panic-not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 
unknown block(0,0)


hello, I am a newbie and I met some problem which has puzzled me for a whole 
week:


1. install Ubuntu 5.04(I use ext2, for the second time ext3 as the file 
system), and gcc etc. no problem here.

2. download kernel source 2.6.10 from kernel.org
3. reconfig the kernel, only enable kernel-hacking options. (for the second 
time also ext3 file system)
4. make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install; make install. no error 
message given.

5. updata menu.lst and reboot. *> it gives above error message.

5-1. I tried to use mkinitrd  and added to the menu.lst too, but it 
doesn't work. And here I feel quiet unclear, some people say you need it, 
some say you don't need it and you should even delete it in menu.lst.


So, what can I do now, and the kernel-compiling is somewhat time-consuming.

Yes, I could, but it would take a lot longer than cross-compiling plus I'll
be travelling for a few days, among other things I'll be trying to get two
faster m68k machines running for debian. But even if I could get the
cross-compiling 2.4.27 working again I could not upload much before next
tuesday.

This is a stable-security update.  Horms has also created packages for
an unstable update of 2.4.27, but that's a separate topic.
Unfortunately it sounds like we cannot upload a source package and have
the autobuilders do it - would you be able to do an m68k in a pristine

I am having problems getting a cross-compiler for gcc-2.95 working for m68k,
gcc-3.3 can not compile 2.4.27 for m68k. I can upload a new patch package
(needed only for a patch to pick gcc-2.95 as default compiler instead of now
gcc-3.3), but for the images I can only provide a source package right now,
which would have to be built by the autobuilders. This would be all for
unstable? I haven't seen any mention of stable/sarge in the 2.4.27 packages.

A sarge update would not need a new kernel-patch-m68k package, just a
rebuild of the kernel-image-m68k package using the new kernel-source.

Joey,
  Can we go ahead and start uploading packages for the archs we've
completed?

And, if we can't find folks to build on these other archs, can we
release a first pass advisory to get the completed ones out to users and
followup later?  ISTR this happening for woody.

Sorry for asking so many questions - hopefully we'll all know exactly
what to do for the next time.

Yes, please do, the biarch toolchain is in sid, so you just have to install
those, and you probably want to do this anyway.

Bummer.  Obviously that doesn't help since these packages only build on
one arch.  Oh well; at least this should work in etch.

already done quite a lot of bug sorting.
a list of open bugs tagged wontfix is not a happy place.
nor a list of bugs tagged moreinfo without any substantial feedback 
by its submitters.
for the second ones such a slow die mode would be perfect.

anyway this is not the place to discuss that.

  and now for something really weird: unplugging the external speakers

Then, when I flicked the headphone jack sense a few more times and/or

But suppose the maintainer is away for a while?  Reporter X sends in
a report, Maintainer Y doesn't even reply for 6 months.  So the BTS
closes it, so Y never sees it.

Or suppose the _reporter_ was away for a while, or dies?  X writes a 
good report, a week later is eaten by sharks, two weeks after Y
replies, gets no reply for two weeks then closes it.

Hi Sven,

I am booting vmlinux-2.12-1-powerpc64 (installed from the sid deb file
with its initrd).

Sven>  Did you run ybin and such, 

Actually I do not usually because I should not need to (I have the
symbolic links set up so I can simply move them to point at the right
images). But, just to be sure, I just tried it again and it changes
nothing. 

Sven> did you try the stuff Benjamin Herrenschmidt suggested to
Sven> Paul's bug report (#323724) ?
Sven> Have a look at :
Sven> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=323724

Actually I'm having the same problem that Paul reported, except on a
PowerMac 7,3 (970FX). The boot fails at the exact same point. I can
try benh's suggestion but it will take some time (need to install the
biarch toolchain and recompile kernel), and it was more about
isolating the place where the fault happens, right?

Sven> Maybe you could try : set panic_timeout in the yaboot kernel
Sven> options as Bastian suggested before though

Actually my PowerMac7,3 does not seem to reboot by itself in a big
hurry (but I've never waited that long to find out). I usually have
enough time to look over the kernel output and reset the power.

Sven> Also, please write to bug report #323724 in futur, and not

Will do.

seinfeld dvds

2005-08-24 Thread Paresh Jain
Hello, I am interested in purchasing your set of Seinfeld DVD's to get all 
the 180 episodes and 9 seasons.  Is this legit - I want to make sure I do 
not get scammed and receive nothing in return?  What proof or guarantee do 
I have that you will come through and provide the item at hand?  Do you 
ship to Virginia...?  What price is the entire set.  Can I use a DVD remote 
for scene selections and episode selection..?  Also, is this truly DVD 
quality or VHS quality or VCD or what kind?  Will these dvds all work in 
normal standard DVD players...?  Sorry for overloading so many questions 
but please let me know ASAP so i can purchase the product.  I really 
appreciate your response and look forward to doing business with you now 
and more in the future.  Thanks.

development wise 2.4 is long dead.
therefor i'm not sure if it's sane to archive all it's bugs.
i don't see much of use. 
users wont navigating through the unsorted obscure list of kernel
packages that may affect them.

either way i wont touch the 2.4 side of the bts.

thanks for the notice! :)
anyway i'll try to allocate some timeslice for that from time to time.
i have quite an horror for the pile of the kernel metapackage bug.
as those are stable users, you can't help much for those.
but ill try to also sort them.

an expired tag that would close bugs one month later after tagging if the
bug reporter doesn't reappear would be on my highest wishlist now the bts
gets even nicer.

Only when the source package is in the security queue accompanied
with a binary package the buildds for missing architectures should
try it on their respective architectures.

Actually, to be completely correct, the right value should be
"Conflicts: e2fsprogs (< 1.35-7)", as linux-gate.so started being
filtered in e2fsprogs 1.35-7.  

(I wrote 1.37-5 in a previous message, but that was a typo; my
apologies for any confusion that may have engendered.)

[PATCH 0/2] Debian mkinitrd: Integrate kdump

2005-08-24 Thread Rachita Kothiyal
Hi

The following set of patches made on mkinitrd (from initrd-tools
package:version 0.1.82), would enable the integration of kdump with
Debian. For more details about the kexec based kdump solution please
refer to Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt in the kernel source tree.

This first patch (to be applied on the mkinitrd), would 
enable the generation of the initrd for the dump capture kernel.

Usage:
mkinitrd -c  -f  -o  

The second patch would enable the user to generate the initrd
for the first or the regular kernel. This initrd will package 
the second kernel or the dump capture kernel along with its initrd, 
the kexec-tools user space application (needed to load the dump 
capture kernel).

Usage:
mkinitrd -i  -v  -o  

The user would then need to boot to the first kernel with this initrd. 
Incase of a panic/crash, the system will automatically boot to the 
capture kernel. The capture kernel's initrd will copy the dump and reboot
the system back to regular kernel.

This is a series patch set. Pls apply as follows on the mkinitrd:
1. capture_initrd.patch
2. first_initrd.patch


Please let me know your comments.

Thanks
Rachita

Agreed.  It should either be smart enough to figure out what to do, or

Bug#302523: kernel-image-2.6.11-9-amd64-k8: module dm_mod locks my IDE disks

2005-08-24 Thread Laurent Bonnaud
> Output of dmsetup?

I guess that you are interested in "dmsetup ls", right?  

After I fix my system by removing the dm_mod module and manually
mounting my 2 PATA drives, I get:

# dmsetup ls
/proc/misc: No entry for device-mapper found
Is device-mapper driver missing from kernel?
Failure to communicate with kernel device-mapper driver.
/proc/misc: No entry for device-mapper found
Is device-mapper driver missing from kernel?
Failure to communicate with kernel device-mapper driver.
Incompatible libdevmapper 1.01.04 (2005-08-02)(compat) and kernel driver
Command failed

# modprobe dm_mod
# dmsetup ls
No devices found

In fact I guess that you are interested in the dmsetup output right
after the boot, when the dm_mod module still locks my PATA drives.
Unfortunately I cannot afford to reboot this machine now.  I will do it
when kernel 2.6.13 is out.

Error while using mkinitrd of the initrd-tools (0.1.82) package

2005-08-24 Thread Rachita Kothiyal
Hi

Following the change in the 'module_exists()' in the 
latest version of mkinitrd, I encounter the following
error when I use mkinitrd to build an initrd.

find: /lib/modules/2.6.13-rc5/kernel/drivers/ide: No such 
file or directory

My kernel has ide built in the kernel. The problem, I 
suspect, lies in the print_ide_modules() call which assigns
none to $IDE_CORE and further calls print_module with 
'drivers/ide/ide-disk'. The module_exists() then complains
as it does not find any /lib/modules/2.6.13-rc5/kernel/drivers/ide
directory. 

Could probably have a check to see whether the required directory
exists before calling print_module() as follows:


--- mkinitrd.orig   2005-08-24 13:35:57.0 +0530
+++ mkinitrd2005-08-24 13:39:58.0 +0530

Thanks
Rachita.

Thanks, 

I was looking into a simmilar report on debian-kernel and noticed
the same thing. I believe that I have a fix for it and it
should go in the next release. I'll send an update here once
I have had a chance to test my fix.

Hi!,

Just did an upgrade, kernel 2.6.8 went from -5 to -9, but when lilo runs
it complains, rightly so as the symlink to initrd is missing from /.

A simple ln -s boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-1-686-smp initrd.img then
re-running lilo seems to be OK (I can't reboot right now to be very
sure...). I had the same thing on a machine running 2.6.8 -386 which is
why I'm reporting this here.

Regards,

Sebastien

You don't showed if scripts/basic/fixdep is executable (which gcc always
set for the executable output), so I expect that you have the filesystem
mounted with noexec or similar.

Bizzare. Could you see if scripts/basic/fixdep exists, and if
so, what permissions it has. It should be executable.

Also, the following might shed some light on what is going
on if its a compile problem: make V=1 menuconfig

Another idea that springs to mind is that /mnt/hd2/usr/src is
in a partition mounted noexec.

Bug#324817: linux-source-2.6.12: permission denied when doing 'make menuconfig'

Well, it is obvious that the stuff in /usr/src should be owned by root, and
that you should extract your tree in some other directory where you are
allowed to mess with. On a debian system, anything outside of /home/ and
/usr/local should be reserved to only the packaging system, and i guess only
/home/ should have  permissions. [1].

Try :

cd ~
tar xvjf /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.12.tar.bz2
ln -s linux-source-2.6.12 linux
cd linux
make menuconfig

[1] : Well, that is the theory, but i guess this will be enough to give you
enough information to solve your problem given your own system setup.

Friendly,

Sven Luther

This does seem to be a bug to me, as although the patches are already
applied, asking them to apply should just result in a noop, not the
script dying. I think that I have isolated the problem, and I will try
and get it fixed for the next release. The easiest work around, as Dann
suggested, is to just ommit debian from --added-patches for now.

Thanks to Simon and Ted with the detailed explanation, I understand

Thinking about this issue, I agree with Ted's opinion - we don't
probably need to consider about cross-release.  However, actually this
problem was caused by glibc, and such change made old e2fsprogs
unusable.  It's a bit hard to decide, but in this case I choose to add
"Conflicts: e2fsprogs (<= 1.37-2sarge1)".  Ted, is this version <=
1.37-2sarge1 correct value?

Thank you very much for taking the time to investigate this and point me
to the solution. I feel a bti ashamed not having done it myself. 

So, once again, thanks a lot.
