Hi Frans ...

Ok, i guess you just volunteered for helping us investigate what really is
happening here, and in particular why the piix driver cannot do it all by
itself instead of the ide-generic driver ? Is this correct, that you would be
willingto participate in the hunt for a real solution of this mess ? 

Friendly,

Sven Luther

Not quite correct: the driver (in my case piix) _is_ loaded, but no 
devices are visible until ide-generic is loaded too.

Bug#352878: 2.6.15-6 breaks on Thinkpad R52 (SATA issues?)

2006-02-14 Thread paul cannon
Package: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686
Version: 2.6.15-6
Severity: important

After upgrading the linux-image-2.6.15-1-686 package from 2.6.15-4 to
2.6.15-6, this IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad R52 (laptop) would no longer boot
that kernel. It failed to find the device to mount for the root
partition.

I am fairly sure that SATA issues have something to do with this, having
fought with them before to get this system working, but I don't know
exactly what they might be. I wish I had more time to debug this, but I
really don't.

More details follow, in case they are useful:

- Only one hard disk, and it's SATA. CD-ROM drive hasn't been working-
I think because ATAPI is still disabled in libata.

- Bootloader is grub. Root fs is ext3.

- After being dropped into the busybox shell on boot failure, I tried
modprobing libata, scsi_mod, and sd_mod to mount the fs manually. No
device node appeared in /dev. I tried mknod-ing /dev/sda and /dev/sda2
manually. Still couldn't mount. I rmmod-ed the scsi modules, rmmod-ed
ata_piix, and reloaded the scsi modules, as I remembered something like
that being necessary sometime in the past. Still no cookie.

- Of course, all this had to happen right after I got comfortable with
2.6.15 and (foolishly) removed an older kernel version, leaving me with
nothing to boot. I had to boot Knoppix, chroot, and downgrade the
package to the 2.6.15-4 version. That made everything happy again.

Bug#352891: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686-smp: apm=power-off doesn't work

2006-02-14 Thread local
Package: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686-smp
Version: 2.6.15-4
Severity: normal


My machine is an old dual P3 Giga-Byte GA-6VXDC7.
In the past (certainly with a 2.4 kernel, not sure if ever with a 2.6),
booting with
  apm=power-off
would ensure that a "shutdown -h now" would completely
power down the machine without any further intervention.
These days it only gets as far as the final BIOS "Power down" message
(the same as not putting any apm option at all).
It would be nice to have the old behaviour back.

Hmm. Shouldn't it work if /root is on RAID but /boot is a separate normal

So far there has not been a relevant progress then.
The first solution is obviously unacceptable because supporting
persistent disk names in the initramfs has been a planned feature since
they were designed.
The second solution means that I would need to add to my package code
whose purpose I do not understand (which systems do need ide-generic,
when and why?). Also, I cannot see any way for the *_id programs
called by persistent.rules to prevent init-premount/ide, which contains
an unconditional "modprobe -q ide-generic", to load the module.
This is too much close to cargo cult programming for my taste.

What happens if you rearrange your initramfs to run this script before
the udev script instead of later? If you are right and ide-generic needs
to be loaded before other drivers (which is totally broken and is not
something udev would support) then this would be the correct fix.

> The comment at the top of the ide.agent seems to imply that this whole 
> ide-generic issue will be fixed in 2.6.16 kernels, which would be great.
No. It means that in 2.6.16 the ide subsystem will generate requests for
the high level drivers and that they will provide proper module aliases
to allow autoloading them with $MODALIAS, but I doubt that the
ide-generic module will.
And if all uevents will have a $MODALIAS variable then ide.agent will
never be run and ide-generic will not be loaded again.
BTW, I would really really like to see the content of an uevent which
causes ide-generic to be loaded.

I fully agree, but I need to find a clever way to do it. Can you suggest
ways for udevd to detect if it's running in an initramfs?
Like checking for a specific environment variable or a file.

Maybe, but I'd rather to fix this once for good instead of hiding all
errors again.

Bug#352753: udev: ide-generic no longer loaded on boot

2006-02-14 Thread Frans Pop
tags + patch
thanks

Hi Marco,

We've done a debugging session today involving Otavio Salvadore (who also 
saw the issue), maks and myself.

There are two possible solutions, both involving modifications in
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/udev.

1) revert inclusion of *_id scripts
   Commenting out the three lines at the end of the current file lets the
   system boot again.
2) add 'copy_exec /lib/udev/ide.agent /lib/udev' at the end of the file
   Apparently some _id script calls ide.agent and this makes sure
   ide-generic is loaded at the correct time.

An lsmod after both boots shows ide-generic loaded after the piix driver, 
AFAIK this is correct.

The second solution has our preference.
Basically ide.agent does the same as what's currently in
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/ide (which could probably 
be cleaned now).

The comment at the top of the ide.agent seems to imply that this whole 
ide-generic issue will be fixed in 2.6.16 kernels, which would be great.


With my d-i release manager hat on, I would suggest uploading -5 with this 
fix at MEDIUM urgency. I would be very unhappy with -4 in testing in the 
middle of preparing for D-I Beta2. I will make sure that udev gets into 
testing before the final build for Beta2.


One other thing.
With the patch applied, most errors that are shown with -3 are gone (there 
were screens full of them!), but I still get 2 times the following error 
on the console during a boot:
   (...) exec of program /etc/initd.d/hdparm failed

IMO it would be good to suppress such messages as, in my experience, they 
will only lead to unnecessary installation and bug reports.
maks suggested to re-add the "silence_exec_error" patch for Beta2 and 
maybe come back to this issue after that?

Thanks,
Frans Pop

Well, merge is underway, takes time though, same status as the m68k patches i
believe, i am waiting for the ARCh=powerpc transition for pushing this one

Not merged upstream, powerpc-serial-of is the one which will be merged
upstream, but it needs porting prep boxes yet.

All in all, the powerpc patches need a serious cleanup in the 2.6.16-rc days,
in order to prepare for the ARCH=powerpc transition of the 32bit kernels, if
it is confirmed to be ready for 2.6.16 on all arches we support. Latest there
where problems for oldworld and prep, if i remember well.

Please do not add any m68k patches there yet, they probably wont apply yet,
and then we would have the same mess again as with 2.6.15. I will create an
m68k patch as soon as the m68k CVS has been updated to 2.6.16(-rc), so I am
sorry to spoil your party, but m68k will probably not be ready when 2.6.16
is released, unless somebody wants to manually merge the m68k diff. I do not
have the time for that, but once the m68k CVS has been updated, it is easy
to provide the necessary m68k patches.

It should, yes.

But as I read bug#352654 it concerns defining the _root_ device (which
to my knowledge is the only device ever defined in the GRUB menu.lst
file, so choking on LVM _device_ names in GRUB shouldn't relate
to /boot).

No it does not relate to /boot, but it _does_ relate to booting if you use 
initramfs as it relies on ROOT being set correctly in grub.

But if root is on LVM you will have something like
   ROOT=/dev/mapper/...
in grub. And that is exactly what 352654 is about.

Note that the original poster never said if he has a separate /boot or 
where his root is. He just says " grub no longer boots with LVM on RAID".
Depending on his setup, that could very well be 352654.

AIUI yaird does not read the ROOT variable set by grub, and so would not 
be affected, solving the issue.

This will be my last post in this thread. The original poster should now 
have enough info to sort things out for himself and follow up if he feels 
that's needed.

Cheers,
FJP

P.S. grub also sets the device where it expects /boot, but that is done in 
a slightly roundabout way; partly in menu.lst though.

this should be deal with properly in 2.6.16-rc.  Better backport the

I guess the tracking of 2.6.16-rc in svn should have been announced
when we started with rc1; let's take care of this the next time, so
everyone in the team is aware we need to implement changes on the 
sid kernel in trunk too, if they apply.

specify your serious issues,

sure udev loads modules based on your hardware,
if you put an sound card into your server don't be surprised
to get an audio driver loaded..

that is easily tunable in /etc/modprobe.d where you can blacklist
the unwanted modules. then regenerate your initrd either by
`dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-XXX` or with `update-initramfs -u`

initramfs-tools vs yaird on a server

2006-02-14 Thread sdbteam
Dear Debian Team...

i've had serious issues when installing the linux-image-2.6.15-1-686-smp 
(testing) on our production server.
i don't know if it's because of udev or initramfs-tools but my lvm2 partitions 
over a raid5 array didn't work anymore.
i also had many unusefull modules loaded and i guess it's because of udev.

installing yaird and removing udev solved my problems..
would't it be better to recommand yaird on servers ?

regards
jon

Sure related to ide-generic, altough maybe not this exact issue, but the
problem first started when they tried to fix this selfsame ide-generic issue,
and forced the loading of ide-generic, not caring that it was not built on
powerpc.

those error messages are harmless they were surpressed until shortly

please provide the last error messages you see when getting dropped
into the shell.

also from there the output of:
cat /proc/cmdline
cat /proc/modules

and check if your root device is there ls /dev/hda4 or whatever..

there was no initramfs-tools upload in february,
it is clearly a change to the udev hooks that broke the boot.

preparing 2.6.16-rc2-1

2006-02-14 Thread Frederik Schueler
Hello,

with the release of rc3, we should finally start to track 2.6.16-rc in
experimental, to have all configs in shape an all architectures building
in time for the -final release to happen the same day for both upstream
and us :-)

The svn branch to be used is 

dists/trunk/linux-2.6/

and the orig tarball (with signed sha1 checksum) is to be found here:

http://people.debian.org/~fs/linux-2.6_2.6.15+2.6.16-rc3.orig.tar.gz
http://people.debian.org/~fs/linux-2.6_2.6.15+2.6.16-rc3.orig.tar.gz.sha1.asc


I would like to have 2.6.16-rc3 uploaded to experimental on friday before
dinstall, unless someone objects. 

This leaves us full 3 days to beat it into shape, so there should be
no problem.


Best regards
Frederik Schueler

Oh thanks, in any case, if you add code, please make sure to also take into
account the fact that this ide-generic module is not even built on powerpc, so
probably not needed.

Already jonas refuses to fix the bug on yaird to not fail because there is no
ide-generic on powerpc, but if we then also lose initramfs-tools/yaird, i
would be very very unhappy.

Right, now I remember that nobody could explain why this is needed so I
refused to add to my package code to load ide-generic.
Is there any reason to not reassign #352753 to initramfs-tools?

Bug#352818: initramfs-tools: exec of program '/lib/udev/udev_run_hotplugd' failed

2006-02-14 Thread marcus
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.51
Severity: normal

I get lots of error messages when booting, but the system does boot
despite them. (These were copied by hand, may be inexact.)

Begin: Running /scripts/init-premount
ACPI: <...some stuff...>
ACPI: <...some stuff...>
ACPI: <...some stuff...>
udevd_event[858]: run_program: exec of program '/lib/udev/udev_run_hotplugd' 
failed

Then I get hundreds of identical udevd_event messages (with different
numbers in brackets), and some of them with udev_run_devd instead of
udev_run_hotplugd.

The kernel is linux-image-2.6.15-1-686.

This is possibly similar to #352700.

the faulty Xu patch was removed long ago,
still lots of common intel/via hardware needs ide-generic.
otherwise no ide driver is loaded for them.

i'm investingating it atm.
i don't get yet which change between 0.084-3 and 0.084-4 made the
difference.

i know that ide.generic was never included in initramfs.
we use a quite similar code in
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/ide
it needs to be converted to modprobe ide-generic only for ide boots,
and to have timeouts for usb/scsi cases.
similar to the ubuntu udev premount hook.

which error messages?

it's quite easy to install linux-2.6-686 or whatever image you need
in parallel to some cool git snapshots. :)

i'm subscribed to udev pts and i try to keep track the best i can.
what is your particular critic?

Bug#352805: initramfs-tools: Check for root fs mysteriously fails

2006-02-14 Thread Johannes Rohr
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.51
Severity: normal

hi,

The test for ${ROOT} in /script/local reproducibly fails. The root fs is
on /dev/hdb6. When the script drops launches the busibox shell, I can
see /dev/hdb6 is present. Exiting the shell resumes normal booting. 

Please feel free to reassign if necessary. 

This started to occur only after I installed the latest udev.

Thanks,

Johannes

no update-initramfs is correct, kernel-package invoced
mkinitramfs instead of update-initramfs.
so update-initramfs had still the old sha1sum.
that's why it doesn't run in udev's postinst.

already wondered about that after the last linux-image upgrade.
need to look at the ubuntu patch,
but i'm pretty sure that there kernel-package invoces update-initramfs.

most probably this bug deserves an higher severity,
i'll look that up and will follow up today with an patch.

with latest udev for some reason ide-generic doesn't get loaded
please try to modprobe ide-generic,
boot should continue then.

you should also be able to add it in /etc/mkinitramfs/modules

udev is using initramfs-tools hooks so needs to to update the
initramfs if initramfs-tools is installed and configured.
evms adds also his hooks.

needs still to be done for lvm2 and mdadm. as currently you have
nice races between initramfs generation and possible later lvm2
installation + root creation that will then miss the dm/md stuff
in the initramfs.

indeed there is a bug in update-initramfs triggered due to the
new kernel upgrade seen in the udev postinst:
/boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-1-mckinley was been altered.  Cannot update.

I compared the lists of modules loaded and everything needed is there,
so your problem is apparently related to modules loading order.
I am reassigning it to the kernel package.

Bug#352780: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686-smp: dependence on udev

2006-02-14 Thread juan
Package: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686-smp
Severity: normal

udev is just plain evil on a server. it shouldn't be mandatory.

the modules listed /etc/modules do not get loaded in the specified order.
it's a major problem for networking devices (ex e firewall).
