 Yes, it is a bug in kernel-package, architecture.mk is not included. It 
 is included in local-vars.mk, but it looks like this file is not 
 included anymore.
 
 architecture.mk convert the architecture name in case the name in Debian 
 and the name in the kernel tree is different, which is the case for 
 powerpc (ppc), and hppa (parisc).

JFTR, it is also the case for mipsel (mips).

I suppose the problem does not occur here because some more binary 
packages are build from this source package on mips and mipsel.

This whole discussion is not about current hardware. It is specifically 
about older hardware and about some architectures for which 2.6 does not 
fully work yet.

We should really minimize unnecessary build as root requirements

2006-02-07 Thread Manoj Srivastava
reassign 351412 linux-2.6
thanks

Hi,

When the mkvmlinuz_support_install target is called by
 make-kpkg, setting the proper permissions is take care of by
 make-kpkg at a later stage, so there is no need to call this target
 as root.

If this target is called directly by a human, then the OS
 shall take care of permissions --- either the destination is
 writeable by the user, or not. Nominally, the command shall fail
 unless the user is root, which is how a make install at the top level
 works as well. Once the user is root, the installed files would have
 the proper permissions.  Also, there is no real requirement, apart
 from policy, that the pwnership be root:root; and if you build using
 make-kpkg, policy requirements shall be satisfied without
 mkvmlinuz_support_install target assuming it is run as root. 

The user may have chown'd /lib/modules
 to a non-root user, in that case, requiring root would be
 incorrect -- since the home user is not constrained by policy.

 Manoj, maybe you can take a look at the build failures on powerpc
 and hppa at
 http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?arch=pkg=kernel-patch-2.4.27-mips

The mips things should have been fixed in the latest Sid

2.6.16-rc2 build failure - packaging problem

2006-02-07 Thread Jurij Smakov

Hi,

I've tried to build 2.6.16-rc2 yesterday, using the orig.tar.gz from 
Fredrik's page (people.debian.org/~fs), latest kernel-package and debian 
dir from svn (dists/trunk or dists/exp, which Fredrik has created 
recently). I ran into a problem: kernel-package ends up with a kernel 
version like:


2.6.16-rc2-686-686

It is being called as

make -f debian/rules.real binary-arch-flavour FLAVOUR='686' 
SOURCE_UPSTREAM='2.6.15+2.6.16-rc2' LOCALVERSION_HEADERS='' 
KPKG_ABINAME='' UPSTREAM_VERSION='2.6.16-rc2' 
SOURCE_VERSION='2.6.15+2.6.16-rc2-0experimental.1' VERSION='2.6.16' 
KERNEL_HEADER_DIRS='i386' SUBARCH='none' ABINAME='rc2' 
TYPE='kernel-package' LOCALVERSION='-686' ARCH='i386' 
REVISIONS='0experimental.1'

[..]
cd 'debian/build/build-i386-none-686'; env -u ABINAME -u ARCH -u SUBARCH 
-u FLAVOUR -u VERSION DEBIAN_LOCALVERSION='-rc2-686' 
DEBIAN_LOCALVERSION_HEADERS='-rc2' DEBIAN_VERSION='2.6.16' MAKEFLAGS='' 
make-kpkg --append-to-version '-686' --arch 'i386' --stem linux --initrd 
configure
exec make -f /usr/share/kernel-package/ruleset/minimal.mk debian 
APPEND_TO_VERSION=-686  KPKG_ARCH=i386   KPKG_STEM=linux  INITRD=YES


Most probably the problem arises due to the fact that there is 
APPEND_TO_VERSION, which make-kpkg appends, but then LOCALVERSION is 
interpreted too, and added to version. 2.6.15 does not seem to have this 
problem, so it appears that LOCALVERSION handling changed somehow since 
then? I'm pretty sure that renaming the LOCALVERSION variable or 
preventing it from being passed to make-kpkg call will fix the problem.
Since such a change has a great potential for breaking things, I am asking 
for advice :-).

kernel security patch howto ?

2006-02-07 Thread Freels, James D.




I compile my kernels regularly from the vanilla source. I have become
annoyed that I am required to rebuild the entire kernel for the small
patches (example, 2.6.15.2 to 2.6.15.3). The way the patches are made
available, one must apply the patch to the entire level zero (2.6.15)
source. Is there a way to incrementally patch to minimize the compile
time ?

Bug#351832: linux-source-2.6.15: fails to reboot on laptop averatec 3156X

2006-02-07 Thread Lee Garrett
Package: linux-source-2.6.15
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


I noticed that whenever I did an init 6 on my laptop, it would hang and
neither reboot nor shutdown. Initially I noticed this with linux 2.6.15.
To narrow the bug down to a specific kernel version, I spent my afternoon
compiling vanilla kernels from 2.6.12 through 2.6.15. I was able to
pinpoint the error. 2.6.13.5 works, whereas 2.6.14 doesn't. With the
help of a friend of mine, we could specifically narrow it down

include/asm-i386/mach-default/mach_reboot.h

If I copy this file from 2.6.13.5 to 2.6.14 and compile, the resulting
kernel is able to reboot without problems.

My Laptop is a Averatec 3156X, which is the same as the american 3150p
model.

I'm interested in getting this bug solved, but have no programming
skills what so ever. But I know how to apply patches and compile
kernels, so you could send me some patches for testing.

Greetings, Lee

interdiff -qz patch-2.6.15.2.bz2 patch-2.6.15.3.bz2 patch_2.6.15.2_to_2.6.15.3

Then apply in /usr/src/linux-2.6.15.3

I have to schedule a transition of the system in question.  The system 
in question is currently being used for media streaming testing 
running windows.
I will attempt reinstalling the latest 2.6 kernel with both yaird and 
initramfs-tools when I can free up the resource I am hoping this weekend.
2.6.15-3 and 2.6.15-4 work with what appears to be 0.51 version of 
initramfs-tools.  An earlier version does not work, and the current 
testing version of yaird does not work.  When yaird updated it did 
something to initramfs-tools, broke it.  I am not sure what sequence of 
events happened, but I installed initramfs-tools and 2.6.15-3 installed 
fine.  I updated the system, which had a yaird upgrade, later updaing 
the kernel, only to run into the same error message.  I had to 
re-install initramfs-tools, and for some reason it was at 0.47 or 
something, which didn't work.  With the upgrade to 0.51 version, 
everything is working again.


Since this system is now functional with a recent kernel version I will 
be running it as is with initramfs-tools instead of yaird at this time, 
and letting the system stabilize.  Let me know if there is something 
else I can do.  thank you for your help.

Bug#351862: linux-image-2.6.15-1-k7: Kernel panic on joystick access (gameport/grip)

 It does not seem to relate to 2.6 at all.
 
  I am having trouble locating CAN numbers for these, does anyone know if
  there are any?
 
 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.

It turns out that this patch introduces a bug in the form of a missing
symbol (#343970).

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=343970

The fix for this is to add an additional patch, which was also included
in 2.4.29-pre1

http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.4/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]|src/|src/fs|src/fs/xfs|src/fs/xfs/linux-2.4|related/fs/xfs/linux-2.4/xfs_vnode.h

I have added this for inclusion in Sid's (trunk) 2.4.27-13.

I have removed the original patch from sarge-security's 2.4.27-10sarge2
as I believe that these patches are far to large for a security release.
I don't believe they have been closely examined. And we don't even
have a CVE for them. Should we add a patch-tracker entry for them
and consider them for sarge3?

Bug#343970: unresolved symbols in module xfs.o

2006-02-07 Thread Horms
tags 343970 +pending
thanks

This was caused by the inclusion of 194_xfs-bad-inodes.diff in 2.4.27-12.
Otherwise known as:

http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.4/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]|src/|src/fs|src/fs/xfs|related/fs/xfs/xfs_inode.c

I believe that the fix for this is 194_xfs-inode-race.diff, which I have
added for inclusinon in the forthcoming 2.4.27-13 release.

retitle 344036 Unresolved symbol ALIGN in orinoco.o module
retitle 343970 Unresolved symbol vn_mark_bad in xfs.o
thanks

Hi,

The xfs.o/vn_mark_bad problem has also been reported as #343970
I would like to handle discussion of that problem exclsively in
that bug. I also believe that I have a solution to that problem,
as annotated in that bug.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=343970

I would like to use this bug, 344036, to address the missing ACCEPT
symbol in orinoco.o. I hope to post a solution to that problem shortly.
