 Now the capability has been added, any chance you could pop this extra line

I will put the follwing into svn which should effect the change.

I've got a problem with oss emulation from alsa with dxr3 card installed in 
my system.
Udev loads drivers for dxr3 first and then is unable to register OSS PCM 
device 0:0
When I remove dxr3 drivers (em8300, bt865) everything is ok.
It would be grateful if you could fix this problem.
I think that it would be enough if udev could load sound drivers first, 
however, I do not know how t do it.


udev does not and will not enforce this kind of drivers ordering.
This looks like a kernel bug.

  

 I understand, but with hotplug there is no problem with alsa oss 
 emulation even if drivers for sound card are loaded first.
 It happens only when I use udev istead of hotplug

I believe that what Marco is saying is that, while the ordering
of loading the modules may be important, as does indeed
seem to be the case here, its not up to udev to set that ordering,
it is handled entirely by the kernel. So it seems that Alsa needs
to be enhanced so either the ordering isn't required, or it has
some way to load oss pcm first.

With this in mind, could you please log a bug against ALSA and
report any bugs back here (unfortunately bugzilla doesn't play well
with the debian BTS). James Courtier-Dutton recently posted 
(to another bug) about how he would like ALSA bugs handled.

 Latest ieee80211-source give the same result.

There is a known problem with the ieee80211 in Linus' tree being

The module snd_via82xx is supposed to detect the builtin MPU of VIA82C686 
units. It does so under kernel-image-2.6.8-2-k7, but not 
kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7. I haven't been able to get it working with a custom 
kernel or by passing options (like mpu_port=330) to the 
module, either.

 Maybe it's something very peculiar about my hardware, although it's
 strange that it works under kernels up to 2.6.8. Anyway, since I'm the
 only one experiencing this and I'm not in dire need of an MPU, maybe the
 bug should be closed?

It sounds likely its a hardware problem.
I'm going ahead and closing it as you suggest.

 2.6.14-2 still enables the outdated ieee80211 :(
 
 Fixing this is simply a matter of disabling CONFIG_IEEE80211. This
 will allow to use ipw2200 (ipw2100 also) drivers built using
 module-assistant as before.
 

The complete list of changes needed to turn off ieee80211 seems to be:

# CONFIG_HOSTAP is not set
# CONFIG_IPW2100 is not set
# CONFIG_IPW2200 is not set
# CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_TKIP is not set
# CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_WEP is not set
# CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_CCMP is not set
# CONFIG_IEEE80211 is not set

Or in other words HOSTAP and IPW2100, IPW2200 and 
HOSTAP (Prism) also needs to be disabled. Is the
latter acceptable collateral dammage? 

I was under the impression that upstream had 
recently updated ieee80211. Is it still out of 
date in 2.6.14 ?

Below is a patch that effects the change in the current
2.6.14 tree. Note that it probably will not apply cleanly
as soon as any other changes are made to the configs
due to some quirks in the way that split config. Note also
that it consolodates some spurious arm and m68k configs
for these options into the global config.

 Holger kindly reminded me on IRC yesterday that its been

 Is there any reason why you're sticking with 2.4.27+patches rather than
 following the 2.4 series upstream? Seems to this uninformed observer 
 like it might be less work to follow upstream since it's limited to
 security fixes, serious bug fixes, and driver backports, assuming
 merging with it isn't too much work.

Well, the main reasons are:

1) The patches are actually coming in at a very slow rate so
   keeping 2.4.27 up to date hasn't proved to be a great burden
   (though the same would be true of 2.4.32)

2) The merge takes time. 

3) Currently maintaining 2.4.27 for sid also maintains it for sarge,
   two birds, one stone.

Thats not to say that they are good reasons. But they are the reasons.

To be quite honest, I would be very happy if someone would take over
looking after 2.4. And update it to 2.4.32 and the new packaging
infastructure that is now used for linux-2.6 in sid/etch.

At the time that I started working on 2.4 packaging, 2.4 was slated as a
viable kernel for a significant userbase for sarge. Looking forward, it
is my belif that by the time we hit etch, 2.4 will only be for niche
users, older hardware and arches that don't have 2.6. I think those
users are very worthy reasons to keep 2.4, at least on arches that need
it. But I'm finding it hard to get excited about doing it myself.

Holger mentioned he would be interested in looking into it. He also
mentioned that his coding skills are a little weak. Personally I don't
think that is mich of a problem. What is needed is someone who is
patient, can work with people to find answers, can do simple merging of
patches and in short, manage package releases. In my time working on the
kernel team I have spend much, much, much more time doing those things
than the occasional like of code I write as a bugfix.

 Following the tip at

 by Alex Perry, I made the following patch that works perfectly
 on my system. A better approach would probably be a configure
 option if somebody does need that extra SET_IDLE call.
 
 I'm not x-posting to lkml since 2.6.8 is an ancient source (2.6.14
 exists today), but since we only have 2.6.8 in debian archive
 as of today, I want it available for other Debian users that
 might want to solve the same problem.

Just a slight clarification, 2.6.8 and 2.4.27 are the kernels for Sarge.
More recent kernels are available in Sid (unstable) and Etch (currently 
testing), and occasionally experimental. There is also a backport of
2.4.12 for Sarge floating about:

That seems fine enough to me. Do you know of any side effects of
using this patch. Or do you considere it a candidate for inclusion
in a Sarge update.

2.6.14-2 still enables the outdated ieee80211 :(

Fixing this is simply a matter of disabling CONFIG_IEEE80211. This
will allow to use ipw2200 (ipw2100 also) drivers built using
module-assistant as before.

   
   The complete list of changes needed to turn off ieee80211 seems to be:
   
   # CONFIG_HOSTAP is not set
   # CONFIG_IPW2100 is not set
   # CONFIG_IPW2200 is not set
   # CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_TKIP is not set
   # CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_WEP is not set
   # CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_CCMP is not set
   # CONFIG_IEEE80211 is not set
   
   Or in other words HOSTAP and IPW2100, IPW2200 and 
   HOSTAP (Prism) also needs to be disabled. Is the
   latter acceptable collateral dammage? 
   
   I was under the impression that upstream had 
   recently updated ieee80211. Is it still out of 
   date in 2.6.14 ?
  
  yes.
  2.6.15 ipw2XXX are fine and with up2date ieee80211 stack.
  there we should really enable those.
 
 Ok, so I should just go ahead and put my patch into the 2.6.14 branch?
 Or should we leave it as 2.6.15 probably isn't that far away... maybe

depends if d-i will base itself on 2.6.14 for next beta
than it's maybe nicer to have those ancient than nothing.

there are still some -rc expected,
maybe we get a christmas present? ;)

We will use whatever is in testing at the time of the release. So it 
depends very much on when 2.6.15 will be uploaded (and even if 2.6.14 
will have moved to testing before then).

Are there major changes from .14 to .15? If not, we should be able to 
change over to .15 relatively fast.

My preliminary target for d-i beta2 is 2nd half of January. We'll need at 
least .14 in testing for the release.

The system does come up after the error, but it looks so basic (memory

 Although the original report says, After 250 days, the jiffies overflow
 and ipt_recent do not work anymore and is for 2.4, I've actually found
 that the code included in 2.6.8 (and probably any kernel version that
 includes ipt_recent) causes unexpected issues related to the jiffies as
 well, other than the 250 days issue.
 
 If you have rules that block based on ipt_recent you will find that they
 will block much too early at odd times. For example, I have a rule that
 will DROP ssh connections if there have been more than 6 seen in the
 last 60 seconds, but (seemingly) randomly I will get DROPped on the
 first connection.

Lets be quite clear, the ip_recent code is in dire need of a rewrite.

Bug#341035: kernel-source-2.6.8: [PATCH] CH Products USB yoke and pedals recognized but frozen by SET_IDLE

2005-11-30 Thread Vassilii Khachaturov
I have changed my pinning policy to prefer testing over stable:
  APT policy: (950, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (300, 'unstable')
and ran a full apt-get dist-upgrade.
Having then downgraded freeglut back to the stable's 2.2.0 version
and forbidding the current testing release of the 2.4.0 one, I recompiled
flightgear, and it worked on Debian testing as well, also seeing the
joystick, with the 2.6.14 kernel (sorry for my previous ignorance on this
bug thread about the new kernel packaging scheme that had lead me to miss
the post 2.6.8 kernel packages in the Debian archive).

The funny thing is that (just for fun) I have retested the older (2.6.8)
kernel, even after complete power down (with the power cord removed to
make sure), and now I see that the CH Products yoke and pedals DO work
with my computer (/dev/input/js[01]). Perhaps some change was introduced
in the user-level USB utilities (and/or hotplug) that masked (or
augmented, if you prefer it this way) the default kernel behaviour.
You may reassign the present bug to some other package if you know to
which one :-)

Hence, I didn't work any further on the issue (my plan was to hunt down if
an equivalent patch was needed to a later kernel, and creating a kernel
config option to mask this patch for those who are afraid of it).

Fly safe (even if in the virtual reality),
Vassilii

 Could you please try the debian 2.6.14-4 linux-image kernels please ?
 

   1) Crashes seems to result from bad initial defaults at the ACPI
 THRM zone. Solved by setting more conservative values
   2) I finally figure out how to generate exactly the right
 kernel-version and kernel-package:
 kernel-package name is determined once during configure, and must
 be set with the --rev switch (2.6.14-4)
 kernel-version is set at compile time (kernel-image) with the
 --append-to-version switch. 

 So, maybe the kernel compilation procedure should be make a bit
 more explicit about this configure -- kernel-image steps ?

If it gets into Debian as quickly as .14 and does not draw the number of

 The funny thing is that (just for fun) I have retested the older
 (2.6.8) kernel, even after complete power down (with the power cord
 removed to make sure), and now I see that the CH Products yoke and
 pedals DO work with my computer (/dev/input/js[01]). Perhaps some
 change was introduced in the user-level USB utilities (and/or
 hotplug) that masked (or augmented, if you prefer it this way) the
 default kernel behaviour.

Beware that your initial ramdisk for 2.6.8 was probably generated while
still running Sarge, so the devices are possily created _before_ booting
into Etch.

Try backing up your old, working initial ramdisk for 2.6.8 and run
dpkg-reconfigure for your 2.6.8 package. This should gerenate a new
initial ramdisk similar to the one used for 2.6.14, and comparisons
makes more sense.

Oh, and when running dpkg-reconfigure then pay attention to the output
revealing what ramdisk tool is used.

 We will use whatever is in testing at the time of the release. So it 
 depends very much on when 2.6.15 will be uploaded (and even if 2.6.14 
 will have moved to testing before then).
 
 Are there major changes from .14 to .15? If not, we should be able to 
 change over to .15 relatively fast.

.15 will bring a non-negligible amount of change to powerpc, going from
ARCH=ppc|ppc64 to ARCH=powerpc, which may entail modifications in the
boot-wrapper and kernel with builtin initrds, and maybe some subarch being
broken or partially broken. But we are/will be working on the -rc releases in
experimental, so hopefully this will work out fast, apus may only be there a
couple of weeks after the .15 release though.

 My preliminary target for d-i beta2 is 2nd half of January. We'll need at 
 least .14 in testing for the release.

Should be nice, i think.

USB devices dead after APM suspend on kernel 2.6.14-2-686

2005-11-30 Thread Paulo M C Aragão
Hi,

I have Debian sid, kernel 2.6.14-2-686, installed on a Fujitsu Lifebook E342 
laptop. When it comes back from APM suspend, the USB devices (a 4-port hub and 
a mouse) are not brought up, and lsusb (or any access to /proc/bus/usb) hangs.  
This doesn't happen with a 2.6.8-2-686 kernel which I also have installed. If 
my memory serves me right, this problem started with 2.6.14 kernels.

Could anybody give me a hand on how to properly configure APM/USB so that 
suspend works as expected on a 2.6.14-2-686 kernel ? I've googled a lot around 
this theme but confess my inability and ignorance to resolve the problem.

I'm unsure of what info would be important to analyze this problem. Please tell 
me if something else is necessary.

Thanks a lot
Paulo

Hello,

yaird doesn't seem to work with a label for the root filesystem:

The offending line in /etc/fstab is:

This line works perfectly fine since ages and also worked with previous 
mkinitrd
tool.

The label seems to be fine:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ - xfs_admin -l /dev/hda5
label = debian

As soon as I replace the offending line in /etc/fstab by

/dev/hda5   /   xfs defaults0   
1

yaird seems to work correctly.

This bug may or may not be related to: bug #337168 and bug #337415. I 
reported
it cause for me it seems to be a different problem as yaird seems to get 
the
label name correctly (no / that is reduced to ), but it still doesn't 
find
the label.

  Could you post
 
 .. Most certainly...

Thanks, that helps.  After looking at your output and a debian kernel
for s390 it seems that the kernel uses a module mapping table similar
to that used for usb and pci; the modules listed in that table match
closely with what you describe in your note.

Perhaps you could test the version that is now in the development tree?
Instructions:

apt_get install bzr
http_proxy=http://whatever.domain:port/ export http_proxy
bzr get http://www.xs4all.nl/~ekonijn/yaird.bzr/
cd yaird.bzr
sh bootstrap.sh
./configure --prefix=$HOME/local
make install
cd $HOME/local/etc
ln -s Debian.cfg Templates.cfg
cd /tmp
sudo $HOME/local/sbin/yaird -v -o junk.img

You're the first one to use this temporary, throw-away, bazaar-NG
repository, so you may find suprises.  Let me know if you need a tarball
instead of this repository.

The code is untested and will probably break.  If this happens and the cause is
not immediately obvious, could you add a load of Base::debug statements
to Ccw*.pm and post the diffs and output?

Note that the repository also contains EVMS support and ide-generic stuff;
the differences are a bit much for a patch.  Lets get this working first,
sort out the packaging afterwards ...

Erik

  .15 will bring a non-negligible amount of change to powerpc, going from
  ARCH=ppc|ppc64 to ARCH=powerpc, which may entail modifications in the
  boot-wrapper and kernel with builtin initrds, and maybe some subarch
  being broken or partially broken. But we are/will be working on the -rc
  releases in experimental, so hopefully this will work out fast, apus

 Well, to be honest I'm not too worried about ppc as it has good support. 

Yeah, but the change from ARCH=ppc | ARCH=ppc64, to a single re-unified
ARCH=powerpc kernel will not go without glitch, especially for the lesser
subarches (oldworld, prep, apus come to mind), and may cause some sever
disfunction in even the mainline arches, let's hope this will be resolved
before the 2.6.15 release though. I know i will already have to do some
adaptation on the pegasos for the interrupt handling and the serial port for
example.

 Please keep d-boot informed if anything really unexpected crops up.

I will, no problem.

 Yaird only by default supports drivers using sysfs. I suspect that the
 issue of bug#328534 is a driver module not properly using sysfs. And I
 guess the workaround is simply to add it manually
 to /etc/yaird/Default.cfg. But it is pure speculation - I'd really want
 Erik's opinion.

Hmm, long and wandering history in that bug.  If I read it correctly,
user can boot 2.6.8, then run yaird for 2.6.14.  This results in a boot
image, booting it ends with complaints about 'sda1 fails to show up'.
The SCSI driver for relevant controller has caused problems in recent kernels.

This suggests:
1. Yaird believes it can build an image.  This happens only if /sys/block/sda1
contains a symlink to something that looks credible as a disk driver in 
/sys/devices/

2. Loading the drivers that yaird selects is not enough to get the hardware
running to a level where it shows up in /sys/block/sda.

Possible explanations:
a. Driver has misleading sysfs information, that leads to a module not being 
loaded.
b. Driver only becomes active after an unrelated module is loaded,
   like old versions of via82cxxx that only work after ide-generic is loaded.
c. Driver does something clever that is not recognised by yaird,
   like /sbin/modprobe to start raid6 support.
d. Driver does not work at all.

To find out what is the case, start by looking at the /init script in the
boot image.  Does this contain the modules you want it to contain?

The last module before mkbdev sda is suspect: it should be the one that
creates the missing /sys/block/sda/dev.  What's that last module?

So looks like a driver problem, at this point not enough information to be
sure the problem is in the sysfs part of the driver, or to trust that
it can be made to work by loading extra modules.

  BTW, also, about ia64 situation, is it possible to use yaird in
  initrd case still ? I know Eric was disabling this for 0.12, but we
  are still using 0.11 ? 
 
 Yaird 0.0.11 is newest release - so it _will_ be removed but _was_ not
 yet.
 
 It is deprecated due to lack of testing. So if someone starts testing
 it then Erik might get convinced to keep it:
 Replace /etc/yaird/Templates.cfg
 with /usr/share/doc/yaird/examples/Debian-initrd.cfg.gz gunzipped
 should do the trick.

Seems to be fixed in lilo in the mean time, so I'll not look into this.

Erik

 Getting it in d-i beta2 may be an opportunity to get some testing exposure 
 for lesser arches, so that may be worth considering even if there are 
 some known issues. We could easily make a note about it in the errata.

Hehe, i guess i will be able to test most of the lesser arches myself, except
apus, and well, oldworld miboot will not work, and benh told me oldworld/bootx
is currently broken, altough he hoped to have the fix in time for 2.6.15.

 Given the major impact on ppc, is it an option for the kernel team to 
 upload 2.6.15 to experimental first, so we keep a little bit more room 
 for maneuvering towards the d-i release?

Nope, we will upload the -rc kernels to experimental, but i don't think we
should upload the actual released kernels to experimental, those should go
into sid, and preferably the day of the release.

That said, we have a few weeks, and working on the -rc tree in experimental
should help sort out all issues, hopefully.

 We will use whatever is in testing at the time of the release. So it

 will have moved to testing before then).
 
 Are there major changes from .14 to .15? If not, we should be able to

Ok, in this case I am inclided to leave things as is in .14,
and make changes as required, if any, to .15.

Bug#340344: yaird: Fail to create initrd on s390/s390x

2005-11-30 Thread Ivan Warren
 
 The code is untested and will probably break.  If this 
 happens and the cause is
 not immediately obvious, could you add a load of Base::debug 
 statements
 to Ccw*.pm and post the diffs and output?
 

Erik,

Well..

The build went ok.. however, here is what I get :

deb390-1:/tmp# /home/ivan/local/sbin/yaird -v -o junk.img
yaird: goal: template, prologue (/home/ivan/local/etc/yaird/Default.cfg:52)
yaird: action: prologue,  {}
yaird: goal: module, fbcon (/home/ivan/local/etc/yaird/Default.cfg:56)
yaird: goal: mountdir, / (/home/ivan/local/etc/yaird/Default.cfg:143)
yaird error: unsupported device required: dasda (fatal)

(that's after removing the input device goals that are irrelevant on that
arch..)

Looks pretty much the same as before..

Now.. Unfortunatelly, I am completelly Perl ignorant - so I wouldn't even
know where to put any debug statement :-(

I'll try to see if I can squeeze more information out of this later on (it's
a bit late !)

However, If you have any idea, I'll be willing to accomodate for any test
you may find usefull.

Bug#341522: Drivers for sbus devices are not included in initrd on sparc

2005-11-30 Thread Jurij Smakov

Package: yaird
Version: 0.0.11-12
Severity: important

Hi,

As I've mentioned on d-k, the sbus devices found in some early Ultras are 
not properly sysfs-trained. As a result, yaird currently fails to include 
the SCSI driver if the controller is an sbus device. As modifying the 
drivers may be too complicated, a possible workaround is to always 
force-include the esp.ko driver (I believe it is the only sbus-based SCSI 
controller) on sparc.


Thanks,

Bug#341524: yaird: fails to upgrade from linux-2.4 to 2.6

2005-11-30 Thread The Anarcat
Package: yaird
Version: 0.0.11-12
Severity: important


Hello,

I just upgraded to sid from sarge, and I'm having problems moving to the
kernel 2.6. First off, let me mention that the upgrade didn't go as
smoothly as planned, which was to be expected nowadays... My packages
for kernel-image-2.6 were removed somehow, probably due to the new
linux-image kernels. Anyways...

Now that I actually try to switch to 2.6, some weird problem doesn't
want to let me. I tried this:

Seems to me that yaird doesn't support migration from 2.4 to 2.6.14. It does 
support anything below 2.6.13 though:

# mkinitrd --supported-host-version=2.4.27-2-k7 
--supported-target-version=2.6.12  echo 1
1
# mkinitrd --supported-host-version=2.4.27-2-k7 
--supported-target-version=2.6.13  echo 1 
#

That is after adding the line to kernel-img.conf but i had the same result 
before.

Now, I *was* able to upgrade, using the initramfs-tools package. Maybe the 
dependency list for linux-image should be reversed for that package, ie. put 
initramfs before yaird.

# /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs  --supported-host-version=2.4.27-2-k7 
--supported-target-version=2.6.14  echo 1
1

I'm not sure I understand all the implications here, but I leave that all in 
your wise hands. I can help more if you tell me what to do. :)

Thanks,

a.

 reboot, using yaird, or boot the current 2.6.14 based sid-d-i netinst, once
 you are at the partitioning step, go to console 2, mount your root partition,
 chroot into it, mount /proc and /sys, and dpkg-reconfigure
 linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7. The other alternative is to install initramfs-tools,
 which knows how to install from a 2.4 kernel. I prefer using yaird myself
 though.

Is this what the upgrade path from sarge will look like for etch
(assuming here that etch will go up to 2.6.14, or will that not happen
at all?).

In general, why not simply change the depends to have the whole thing
Just Work in the general case?

No, but we are still far from the sarge release (which is scheduled for
december 2006, with freeze in july or so), and we probably will have to move
to having initramfs-tools the first default for it. 

Maybe the best idea would be to have yaird as first default as now, but have
the dependencies install both, which would guarantee it always works.

 In general, why not simply change the depends to have the whole thing
 Just Work in the general case?

Well, at 2.6.14 release time, initramfs-tools, and his klibc dependency, had
some maturation problems, and is also regularly broken by udev, so for now,
yaird, provided it works, is still the more solid solution, and at least it
will fail cleanly, and give you an error message or such, while
initramfs-tools may or not fail during boot time.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
