Example way to solve this for mkinitrd ...

Hello, 

I implemented a way to fix this for initrd-tools :

which altough it may not be the nicest way, fixes the issue. Notice that the
invocation is :

  ./mkinitrd --supported-target-version=2.6.13-1-powerpc 
--supported-host-version=2.6.12-1-powerpc

Due to the way getopts is implemented in shell, so i guess this should be the
version to use here.

I will implement this in initrd-tools and initramfs-tools in the debian-kernel
svn, but await for comments before doing an upload, Jonas, i would appreciate
if you would be able to do this for yaird asap too, as i don't speak perl,
which i think is what yaird implements, right ?

I do not believe this is a security patch. I believe that 
it is the addition of a new security-related feature.
It is also rather a lot of patch. So I am rejecting its
inclusion in Debian's 2.4 at this stage.

I don't think there are any. Perhaps we should file for the 2nd one.
I noice that hlh was involved in that patch, perhaps
he can provide a slightly longer description.

That sound fine, though I'm not sure if the RC status is neccessary.

Thanks.

This is actually already on in 2.6.13, and I think that is current
in 2.6.13-1 which is in experimental, and so the change will trickle
down to sid and etch soon enough.

Is there a burning desire to push this into 2.6.12 (sid/etch)?
I'd rather not duplicate the change there.

Well, as my previous tries in communicating about these issues where mostly
ignored, this may bring some visibility to it, that said as 2/3rd of the
packages involved are d-k maintained anyway, and i am currently fixing them,
this should be no big issue, i also don't think this should be a problem for
Jonas.

Bug#325117: NFS client problem with kernel 2.6 and SGI IRIX 6.5

2005-10-14 Thread Ruediger Oberhage
Dear Trond Myklebust,

my name is Ruediger Oberhage, I'm (amongst other duties)
administering computers for the Theoretical Physics in Essen of
the university Duisburg-Essen, Germany, and I do have a (client)
problem (severe to us) with the 2.6 kernel series and nfs, when
served from an SGI IRIX 6.5 system (type: Origin 200).

Since I use the Debian GNU/Linux distribution, I contacted its kernel
maintainer (Horms) first, and he pointed me to you (I'll add the
problem report(s) below).

The problem was registered with the Debian Bug Tracking System as
Bug#325117.

The summary is as follows: I do have problems with the 2.6 series
kernel, which do not occur with a 2.4 series kernel (and an other-
wise unchanged system). I discovered it with Mathematica version 5.0,
but do think that other programs are also involved (e.g. OpenOffice
1.1.4, that doesn't find its default (or any other) printer any
longer). The symptom is, that certain ressources are reported
missing, that are definitively there and which lie somewhere
within the application-tree, that tree lying within a hierarchie
being nfs-auto-mounted from the SGI system to the (Intel architec-
ture) Linux client. File contents (or whole files?) seems to get  
'lost' somehow.

It doesn't seem to be the MSBit Problem of the 32bit nfs cookies
(alone) - the branch is exported with the IRIX '32bitclients'
option, to avoid the 64bit cookies, that led to a similar problem
with the printer in OpenOffice under the 2.4 series kernels, and
vanished with the 32bit-option.  The reason for me to state this
is, that when I applied a 32bit-'SGI-IRIX-induced'-patch for (early)
2.6 kernels (Debians 2.6.8) the problem didn't go away, and it also
still occurs when using the 2.6.12-kernel, where some kernel-version
ago (2.6.10 or 11?) that part of the cookie problem was solved via a  
translation table (once and for all, I hope).

The problem occurs when requesting nfs v2 as well as nfs v3 protocol.
An LD_ASSUME_KERNEL does not seem to help, as it does with other
problems.

When testing or compiling kernels, I always used the 'debianized'
versions, but to my understanding, they are nearly unaltered compared
to the 'plain' kernels (see Debian changelogs).

The problem is severe to us, as the same configuration also exports
our home-directories, which are, of course, writeable, contrary to
the application-tree, which is read-only. Thus any help will be
welcome.

I'm willing to try whatever I can do to resolve the problem, but I
need guidance in what to do and what (else) you need to know.

Many thanks,
 Ruediger Oberhage

Please find the 'Debian bug reports and replies' below
(sorry, it's long, but you may skip it should you prefer to
 get it from Debian's Bug Tracking System directly!):

Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686
Version: 2.6.8-16

Severity: critical

Hello!

This is about an (at least to us) critical bug within NFS in the
current Debian 3.1 (stable=sarge) version Intel i386 architecture
with kernel 2.6 only! All the phaenomena reported do not(!) occur
with kernel 2.4 (here 2.4.27, more precisely 2.4.27-2-686).

First symptom: when I change into any NFS-mounted directory or
subdirectory thereof and issue the command 'find . -print', I get
the following result:

/Net/Apps# find . -print
.
find: .: Value too large for defined data type

The same is true, if I address that directory 'from the outside':

/tmp# find /Net/Apps/. -print
/Net/Apps/.
find: /Net/Apps/.: Value too large for defined data type

[the '.' after the /Net/Apps/ is necessary, as this is a
 symlink here! But the same happens, when that is not the
 case!]

I've read about such a problem in the Ubuntu bug-tracking
system, and they claim to have a solution for this one.
This could be true, as this problem doesn't show, when I
use the Knoppix 4.0 DVD (which uses a 2.6.12-kernel, iirc).
I did compile and try under 'sarge' the latest kernel available
in the Debian repository at this time (2.6.11-7) from
kernel-source-2.6.11_2.6.11-7_all.deb and accessories via
'make-kpkg', a 'sarge'-version of
"kernel-image-2.6.11-1-686_2.6.11-7_i386.deb" so to speak,
and this one, too, shows the error. So it isn't gone in
Debian!
libc6 is: Version: 2.3.2.ds1-22, the 'standard one', but
I don't think, it does matter.
[As written above, it doesn't show up with kernel 2.4!]


The second problem is the critical failure of applications
in such an NFS-mounted tree. E.g. Mathematica v5.0 crashes,
with a 'segmentation fault', after not only complaining about
problems with "fonts" (that can often be ignored), but
also with reporting missing 'structures' (read files!) from
that tree, finally resulting in the abort. These files are
definitely there and not 'harmed' - it does work with a 2.4 kernel
and an otherwise unchanged 'sarge' system. [An LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4
does not(!) help here for 2.6 kernels, as it does with e.g.
Maple v.8, where a missing 'errno' variable is (otherwise) reported
for libc6 by the dynamic linker with 2.6 kernels.]

Sorry this is taking a while to get in.
I had do do a bit of backporting (attached for reference).
And I am begining to suspect that it is an ABI breaker.

Ohh, and I think I separately broke the 2.6.8 build, so I am looking
into that.

I elected to install both kernel-image and kernel-headers. It happened
that kernel-headers get installed earlier than kernel-image and upon
kernel-image installation there already was
/lib/modules/2.6.0-1-686/build directory.

So kernel-image claimed about /lib/modules/2.6.0-1-686 existance and
asked if I had kernel-image-2.6.0-1 installed before or installing some
modules right now.
There is nothing of the both. It's just a kernel-headers installation.

So I suspect this question could be confusing for the users.

Package: kernel-image-2.4.26-1-686
Version: 2.4.26-6
Severity: wishlist

I had kernel-image-2.4.26-1-686 installed, and it got updated by a simple
apt-get upgrade. Then I got a very long message about how important it
was to reboot immediatly. I think it might be a good idea to at least add
a clear warning that people still using lilo should run lilo before
rebooting, because the upgrade leaves the machine in an unbootable state
for them. Not running lilo when you install a new kernel is not too bad,
but when you replace an existing one...

By the way, I know that grub is now the default bootloader for debian,
which I believe is great.

Package: kernel-image
Version: 2.4.27-1-686

   Hi,

just did my apt-get update and after noticing that apt-get -s dist-upgrade
wants to install kernel 2.4.27, I tried to do it by hand but failed. Here
is the session:

chopin# apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.27-1-686

The problem seem to be that another stat(1) command was in my path that has
different input/output format than /usr/bin/stat that mkinitrd was
expecting.

Could the kernel image maintainer please ensure that full path of binaries
is used in pre/post-install scripts?

The machine in question (an 266MHz PII) runs on SCSI drives and had no
problems installing kernel 2.4.26 a few days ago. It runs Debian testing
(sarge) distribution with linux kernel 2.4.26 and is days updated with
apt-get dist-upgrade.


Thanks and bye, Dragan

Load average is reported very high, but it ain't so.

$ cat /proc/loadavg
52.80 51.80 50.81 4/202 8431

The system is currently unloaded and quite responsive.
The real load average is clearly less than 2,
and from looking at top, the load average is probably
about 0.1 .


This is breaking my mail; exim4 is configured on my

When installing kernel-image-2.6.5-1-686 at the same time as
kernel-headers-2.6.5-1-686, the install scripts finds that
/lib/modules/2.6.5-1-686 already exists (because it has just been created by
kernel-headers).
It warns about this, suggesting to move the directory out of way (which
quite probably isn't a good idea).

etch will probably have 2.6.16 or .18 or something such. in any case 2.6.14 is
not so far off, and will be the one to push for sid/etch as soon as it is out.

> If it's 2.6.12, I think it is better to push it into 2.6.12

No way.

Given the Release Team schedule, we will probably ship etch with whatever will
be the upstream version during summer 2006, or at least late spring, hoping
there is no big change in the kernel during this time which will make us
reconsider (as a big udev change for example, or the initrd stuff). I don't
think it would be reasonible to have use freeze in late 2005 as Steve
mentioned, but i guess that was more for wide-ranging library changes than a
kernel version freeze.

Could you send me the whole config file, so i can pass it through meld and

Indeed, that would be a good thing, since oldworld often have scsi.

Yes, definitively, this would allow to do a miboot-installer .udeb for
non-quik supporting oldworlds.

I think so, but then the case of initramfs also allowfs us to do many funny
things whcih may be of interest, in particular build modular stuff, and just
append to the kernel those modules we need.

Bug#330583: The problem may belong to udev-utility?

>
>   Boris, can you have a stab at that?

Well, I tried to manually load the modules, but how? Booting with udev 
installed the 2.6.12-kernel is not possible as the system hangs. So, I 
deinstalled udev using a 2.6.11-kernel and again I started the 
2.6.12-kernel without any problem. Doing a modprobe ide-disk and 
modprobe ide-generic succeeds without any error messages. Now I tried to 
reinstall udev but it ends with exactly the above mentioned error 
messages and a system hang.


Isn't it a udev-problem, because both modules are loading perfect 
without udev?

Bug#333842: linux-headers-2.6.12-1-686: .extraversion only has - rather than -1-686

2005-10-14 Thread marvstod
RE:Could you please go back to the page you were looking
and report the bug numbers, they are preceeded by a #.

Don't have time this AM, but will respond to

RE: Could you give some details of the failure that you are seeing?
--
The issue concerns installation of drivers compiled out of the kernel tree, 
such as modem drivers.  I co-maintain the ltmodem package for Lucent DSP modems 
in particular.  Our package is contrived to be Linux Distro variant 
independent.  The preliminary configure program searches subfolders of 
/usr/src/ for a UTS in linux/include/version.h matching 
   ./build_module version
with default version being `uname -r`.  Cross version compiling is thus 
supported, so we can easily make ltmodem-version.deb for Newbies using Distros 
various .

The drivers compile is not affected by .extraversion.  The problem arises in 
the install, purely because of the Debian dual kernel(linux)-header package 
split like: 
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12-1
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12-1-686
wherein there is only in the Makefile an
   EXTRAVERSION =

The standard modules_install command does not read 
  linux/include/version.h 
but rather the Makefile.  Our particular install usage initally setup my Mark 
Speith for 2.6.n is below.  The  LOCALVERSION=  parameter was added by me to 
deal with the Debian dual kernel(linux)-header situation

install:
make $(EXTMOD_SWITCH)=`pwd` -C $(KERNEL_DIR) 
INSTALL_MOD_PATH=$(ROOTDIR)  LOCALVERSION=-1-686 modules_install

---
wherein in this particular case the "-1-686" was read in from (a corrected)
.extraversion during the configure step.  This generates a Debian pacakge with 
a correct:

/ltmodem-8.31b1/source# tree debian/tmp/lib
debian/tmp/lib
`-- modules
`-- 2.6.12-1-686
`-- extra
|-- ltmodem.ko
`-- ltserial.ko

In contrast for the original flawed .extraversion with only "-" , the structure 
is:
/ltmodem-8.31b1/source# tree debian/tmp/lib
debian/tmp/lib
`-- modules

Sorry for only beaming you brainwaves off-list, Sven, and not making
sure you could actually read my mind. In other words: I thought I'd
already responded (positively!) about this, but obviously not. :-)

Ok with me to tag this as RC.

All credit for the fine packaging of yaird is thanks to upstream, who
provided me with almost perfect packaging initially and taught me on
some packaging practices I wasn't aware of. Only nitpicking (and my odd
idea of the maintainer field being only for DDs) got my name into the
changelog.

That said, I also think I should be able to implement those options to
the mkinitrd.yaird wrapper - if upstream doesn't beat me to it ;-).

Would it make sense to have yaird maintained by d-k as well, and me

CONFIG_AUDIT and CONFIG_AUDIT_SYSCALL.
IIRC the latter allows you to disable audit logging from userspace as
well as configure where the logs go to (e.g. via netlink to a userspace
audit daemon)

OK, I will include INITRD and see if it the kernel fits. Since the
ramdisk will be loaded from floppy, the floppy driver also need to be
compiled in. Anything else the is required for initrd to work?

Yes, but that would be a different kernel then. Does anyone know what
NICs are most common in oldworld macs (since the nic-drivers must be
compiled in)? I have a de2104x PCI Ethernet in my Performa 5400.

That would be perfect i think, and you could even put it under tools alongside
initrd-tools and initramfs-tools in kernel/dists/trunk/utils in our subversion
repo. Do you already have a alioth acount ?

AFAIR CONFIG_AUDIT_SYSCALL was disabled because of its performance
overhead and limited usefulness. The debian-kernel list archive should
have some discussion about it.

How to build .deb from Debian's linux-tree-2.6.12

2005-10-14 Thread Marc Haber
I am currently trying to make myself familiar with building the Debian
packages for kernel 2.6 to see whether it's worth to move my local
kernel building processes nearer to Debian's own processes.

So I have created a fresh sid chroot with build-essential installed,
downlaoded linux-tree-2.6.12, unpacked it, installed the build
dependencies and invoked debuild. First round, it failed for not
finding libncurses, so I installed libncurses-dev. Now, debuild fails
with a short "interrupted(11)", in an xterm which thinks of having 23
lines only. Looks like something goes wrong with make menuconfig, but
make menuconfig invoked from the command line works fine.

Is that an issue with current sid, or am I doing something wrong?
Currently, I am inclined to say that linux-tree-2.6.12 is missing a
Build Dependency on ncurses, and that it suffers from other kinds of
breakage as well. But I might be mistaken. Can somebody help?

Greetings
Marc

I believe rtl8139too is used on some of the Performas.

No, just a check for $KERNEL_MAJOR to check if linux-image or kernel-image

I'm sure that if you file a wishlist bug containing a patch with a 
replacement which performs the same function as current scripts and 
passes the current testsuites, we will be happy to review it and 
implement it if it is truly simpler than the current scheme.

Yes its true that it wasn't accepted upstream, but it is, security wise,
still the best solution to gain the necessary realtime permissions for audio
work. That's the main reason why I don't want to throw it away without a
thought. If I understand correctly the modular approach would be acceptable if
the capabilities module would not be removable.
I think this should be achievable.

Yep, i know, and i probably will as time allows, i hoped to do that in
Oldenburg, but as i wasn't able to free time to come ...

Also, i think Joeyh had some technical reservations which where not without
merit, so i guess there is no urgency, it just pains me to see all this
syncing and hand interventions from a dozen porters needed to get the ball
going for d-i.

Right now solving the initrd/initramfs problem has more priority on my TODO
list.

Try :

first, to install all dependencies.

linux-tree-2.6.12 is a binary package, and thus its build-dependencies are on
linux-2.6 source, which should do the right thing, not sure though.

Not sure what you really want to do, but in any case, linux-tree-2.6.12 is
probably a thing of the paste, you want either the linux-2.6 source package
or the linux-source-2.6.12 binary package.

That's probably correct.   Not too long after I sent the bug

I tried the same after apt-get source linux-2.6 and installing all
build dependencies (dpkg-checkbuilddeps doesn't complain), and the
same thing happens. The package tries to make menuconfig, and that
fails with "interrupted(11)".

Well, after thinking about this, it is only normal, since the build process
obviously uses oldconfig, since it is non-interactive.

In any case, there is no way that what you try to do is something where
build-dependencies are involved, but there could be a depend or
recomend/suggest on the linux-source-2.6.12 package maybe ?

Great. I am busy tonight doing other stuff (what I learned recently

Have you tried running "strace" on this find command in order to figure
out which syscall is returning EOVERFLOW? If it is getdents, please
could you confirm that the same error occurs in the same place on
2.6.12?

...Oh, and could I have a binary tcpdump of the traffic between the
client and server when this happens. Please use something like

tcpdump -w /tmp/dump.out -s 9000 host  and port 2049

I now know what was going on. Despite debian/rules not directly using
make-kpkg, the build process somehow uses code delivered by
kernel-package, which in turn honors ~/.kernel-pkg.conf, which on my
system has config_target := menuconfig.

That's a gotcha.

Can you please explain that? I am trying to convert a Debian source
package (consisting of .orig.tar.gz, diff.gz and .dsc) into a set of
Debian binary packages (.deb). The usual way to do so is to use the
debuild command (or another of the dpkg-buildpackage frontends
available in numerous different flavours) after installing
build-essential and all packages listed in the Build-Depends line in
debian/control.

I must be missing something here, please enlighten me.

Greetings
Marc

Debian 2.6.8 kernels contain a very old (2.26.02.001) version of the
3w-9xxx 3ware 9000 Series driver.
This version of the driver doesn't create a sub-directory under
/proc/scsi.
Thus mkinitrd would not include the driver into the loadmodules list
causing the kernel to barf if the root filesystem is on a disk managed
by the 3ware controller.

Cheers,
 Steffen

The PC Speaker supported is listed in menuconfig under "Device

This is really hard to find, because a speaker is an output device and
not an input device. The option in menuconfig should be relocated.

depends on the point of view.
anyway feel free to send patches upstream to lkml that change
the pcspkr to be part of your new output subsystem. :)

not joking but please use the debian default kernel in such cases.
it has all those modules compiled for you.

I am using an ABIT VT7 main board with VIA PT880 agp controller and
Nvidia geForce5700LE.  agpgart did not recognize said controlled when
modprobed (i. e. didn't print any messages to dmesg excpet 'Linux
agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones'), and nvidia's proprietary
driver reported (cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status) agp status as
disabled.  By editing some lines in the kernel source I was able to get
agpgart to see my chipset. Whether this was the 'right' way to do it or
not I have no idea.  I'll go through the process I followed below.

An lspci showed the following devices (note what comes first- usually
the agp controler; in this case it is reporting an ID of 0x0258):

Bug#292892: k3b has problems "Reading local song database"

2005-10-14 Thread maximilian attems
your bug got reassigned to the debian kernel.
although i doubt that that latest sarge kernel could pose problems.

can you still reproduce your troubles?
if yes which kernel are you using, k3b, cdrecord version and so on
if not it would be cool to close that bug..

anyway thanks for your feedback. :)

Package: kernel-source-2.6.8
Version: 2.6.8-13

I need to compile the rt2500 driver from sourceforge for my
wireless interface.  To do so, I downloaded the latest source
for Sarge, and successfully compiled the kernel.  All other
hardware worked, so I compiled the rt2500 module.  There were
no errors during the compile, but I got these errors when I
tried to load the module:

# modprobe rt2500
FATAL: Error inserting rt2500
(/lib/modules/2.6.8-ctm/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2500.ko): Unknown
symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

The pertinent lines from dmesg were:

rt2500: disagrees about version of symbol per_cpu__softnet_data
rt2500: Unknown symbol per_cpu__softnet_data
rt2500: disagrees about version of symbol netif_rx
rt2500: Unknown symbol netif_rx

I contacted the author of the module, and he said to try a
stock kernel from kernel.org.  I downloaded the 2.6.8 kernel
and compiled it successfully.  I then compiled the rt2500
module without errors and now I can load the rt2500 module.
The author said that something must have changed in the
Debian modifications to prevent it from compiling correctly.

hi,

  Reiser4 filesystem has finally been released. It would be nice to have
the support built into the Debian's kernels. My patch package applies
cleanly to both vanilla and debian source trees, so probably it is not
a big problem to apply it to the official Debian's kernel sources too.

Please consider this idea. Thanks.

Package: kernel-source-2.6.8
Severity: minor
Version: 2.6.8-10

Hi!

There is a problem with ACPI module "processor" in recent 2.6er kernels.
After loading this module my pentium-m notebook (ACER TM291) makes a very=20
high-pitched sound (not the fan) on idle. It sounds like an old CRT monitor
shortly before its end. :-)=20

It's caused by a change in include/asm-i386/param.h, where HZ was set=20
from 100 to 1000.

I have already send my notebook back to the vendor for repair the=20
"singing capacitor" on the mainboard, but I got it back unrepaired.=20
They could not reproduce this behavoiur under Windows. :-(
This uses a 100Hz timer, so I have no chance of repair.

Google tells, it is a known problem which was previously discussed at Kernel
Bug Tracker.=20
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D2478
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D3549
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D3406

But the patch for "#define HZ" was rejected.
Since I'm not sure that the found solution (disabling of C3) is the best=20
solution and this patch will be included in 2.6.10, I'd like to ask you=20
for a Debian patch to switch back to HZ=3D100.=20

Please consider to add attached patch.

I like the distribution kernel very much (together with m-a) and it would
be a pity to have to build my own kernel caused by this issue.


Kindly regards,

Erik

Package: kernel-source-2.6.8
Version: 2.6.8-5
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hi,

the USB devices called "IO-Warriors" from the German manufacturer
"Code Mercenaries" register themselves as HID devices but they offer
more functions than regular HID devices.

To use these extended functions the manufacturer offers a kernel
module (source as well as binaries), which requires modifications
in hid-core.c that make the standard usbhid kernel module ignores
these devices as HID devices.

The attached patch against the current kernel-source-2.6.8 package's
hid-core.c provides these modifications by adding the IO-Warrior
devices to the blacklist in hid-core.c

I am strongly convinced that this patch is licenced under the GPL since
the manufacturer freely distributes a modified version of Linux 2.6.4's
hid-core.c which differs from the original version only by the
modifications in the patch and thus still contains the original license
banner:

/*
 * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it
 * under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free
 * Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option)
 * any later version.
 */

You may check it yourself in the Linux SDK for the IO-Warroir devices
which is freely available at:
http://www.codemercs.de/Downloads/Linux26.zip

Please consider the patch for inclusion in the next Debian kernel release.
It is trivial fix that does not hurt people not using IO-Warriors, and
it saves users, who need the special IOWarrior module, the necessity to
patch a standard kernel module.

I have also reported the bug upstream and hope it will make it into one
of the next upstream versions.

TIA
Peter

Ok, I can confirm that this is not reproducible using your above test case.
The missing variable appears to be that I am mounting my partition using
-oiocharset=utf8.  If I use -oisocharset=iso8859-1 (the default), the mount
behaves in a case-insensitive manner, but of course I don't want filenames
to be shown as ISO8859-1 in userspace..

Cheers,

Adding linux-image- dependency on linux-headers-?

2005-10-14 Thread Michael Gilbert
Hello all,

I am curious as to the reasoning behind not including the kernel
headers along with a kernel install?  The reason that I bring this
up is that many (new/Joe) users end up unable to figure out why they
can't compile certain modules (such as the nvidia driver, etc.)...until
someone more knowledgeable points out that
kernel-headers- needs to be installed (for example, see
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&postid=1901559#post1901559,
and other threads that i and many others have replied to with basically
the same suggestion to install the headers).  There is a probably
a certain amount of user rejection because of this (at least one of my
friends gave up on Debian in part because of this...he's moved on to
mac os...which is not totally unadmirable).

I understand that the kernel-headers- package adds about
50 megs of data to a default install (which is already at about 2 gigs
anyway when selecting desktop environment in tasksel), but with disk
space so readily available (200 gigs for like $100), I see no reason
why this should be a factor.  Besides, those interested in disk
space conservation can prune the package if they so desire.  So
what are the other reasons for the current situation?  Can this be
changed?  And if so, how?  Thank you for your consideration
of the poor Joe User.

Regards,
Mike Gilbert

It was already reenabled for 2.6.13 before this request came in.
Probably by Dilinger or Walidi, perhaps they can comment on the 
performance issue.

Well, if you take the already packaged version out of the archive, you just
need to :

  dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc

And it flies, after installing build-essential, fakeroot and the linux-2.6
build-deps.

i do use dpkg-buildpackage in a clean sid chroot specially created for this
purpose, but don't use any kind of debuild/pbuilder/whatever frontends, so
maybe there is some problem with the frontend you are using ? 

In any case, the autobuilders seem to have no trouble with it, so it should
run fine, at least in the -B case.

What is your problem again, now that we sorted the menuconfig out ?

First, its called linux-headers- now, and the current status is in
flux, and we will soon write a document explaining the way this is supposed to
work with the new infrastructure more in detail.

Now, those wanting to compile third party drivers like the nvidia ones, should
take the nvidia package (or whatever it is called) and build it following to
instructions, or even better, the new policy should call for pre-compilation
for all official flavours of those modules, like it is already done on powerpc
for the MOL packages for example.

In any case, if it fails because of missing headers, there is a bug in the
third-party-module package.

The sarge situation was a complete mess, and i strongly suggest to move to a
2.6.12 backport. The situation there should be rather clear, and to build
third party modules, you only need to set KSRC=/lib/modules//build,
works fine.

Users should not need to build modules, and we should not force the
installation of header packages if the user don't want to. Clear instructions
need to be written (and will soon, once 2.6.13+ reach the archive), both for
end users and third-party-modules packagers, on how to best do this, but the
best solution is to have the modules prebuilt for the official kernels.

Re: initrd/initramfs: we discussed enough, let's take some action now :)

Is that an invitation :-?

Here's a concept yaird patch; basically Sven's patch with a bit of
extra error checking and a minimal host version.

The patch claims support for 2.6.8, which is where development
started, but later yaird versions only have had testing with
newer kernels.  If we could get away with claiming a later version,
that can only reduce number of bug reports.

BTW: I'm happy to see you'll move the yaird packaging to Alioth,
that should give more continuity than a TLA archive I keep at home.

Given the move to Aliot, I think further contributions from me
could better be done as simple patches than as full packages.
The combination of debian packaging and TLA I now use is
cumbersome to say the least, so I'm eager to drop it.

On a related note, there are some smallish fixes in the
(offline) upstream archive; suggestions on how to make that
better visible to you are welcome.

Regards,
Erik
