I am considering to change the naming scheme completely, and call the flavours 2.6.x-y-amd64 and 2.6.x-y-em64t respectively. Newer GCCs produce AMD64 code which is supposed to be closed to optimal to what GCC can produce on EM64T. Does it still make sense to distinguish between them? Or has it got something to do with the way the kernel sets up its data structures? The officially recommended way to build a distro kernel is to build the generic one. It's as fast as the specific ones because it uses some binary patching during bootup. The only thing you save with the specific options is a tiny little bit of space. I'm going to second this suggestion. The time I spend waiting for both a -k8 and -emt64 version to download and install when I'm upgrading a few machines is going to be far longer than any time saved by some optimizations that aren't already done by the generic kernel. Just make a 'amd64-generic' kernel and be done with it, unless you have benchmarks showing a real performance difference. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#375523: hdaps fails to read gyroscope after suspend/resume
Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.15-8 I have a thinkpad t41 with gyroscope, readable via the hdaps module. However, after suspend/resuming, the module no longer works -- it yields the same data every time. Rebooting the computer then also doesn't work, I can only get it to work again after cold-booting the laptop without resume. Somehow, probably the resume or the suspend code is disabling the gyroscope or bringing it in a state that it can't bring it out of again.

Bug#375579: /scripts/local-top/lvm:28: sh: Syntax error: Bad substitution
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.64
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Hello,
the changelog of version 0.65 of initramfs-tools says:
* scripts/local-top/lvm: Be careful to activate volume group on lilo boot
too. Although in that case we don't know the precise volume group, we
activate them all. Matches behaviour of previous hook.
This change seems to have introduced a bug in scripts/local-top/lvm on line 28
as it produces the following error message on boot:
/scripts/local-top/lvm:28: sh: Syntax error: Bad substitution
which causes the boot process to fail on my box as the root filesystem will
never show up as it is on LVM, making the system unusable.
The erroneous line looks is:
vg_lilo=${vg:0:2}
I'm not a good shell programmer, so I don't know whether this is a general
syntax error, a bashism that won't run on busybox or something else..
I downgraded initramfs-tools to 0.64 and regenerated the initrd files to work
this problem around for the moment.
TIA,
Flo

Anyway, 0.65b was already uploaded earlier today which fixes this issue

svn games
Hi, I would like to bring the following recent svn commits to the attention of the team. I have made a commit r6880 in Saturday morning (Pacific time): Switch to gcc-4.1 for sparc, because it works (tm). This commit was neccessary because the 2.6.17-1 kernel was uploaded by Bastian on Friday, despite the fact that it has been known to be broken on sparc SMP systems [0]. At this point Bastian has pointed out to me on IRC that changing to a newer compiler is an ABI change. I have immediately asked Jeroen whether it is feasible to reject the sparc binaries from the NEW queue and got a response that since the source have been already been accepted to unstable, there is not too much point in such a rejection. So I made the commit r6881: * Move new changelog entries to 2.6.17-2, as -1 is uploaded already. * Add sparc32-iotlb.patch. * Bump ABI to 2 as a result. This commit was *immediately* reverted by Bastian in r6883: Revert r6880, r6881 and r6882. Can't accept an ABI bump yet. That was done while both of us were on IRC. I was quite dumbfounded by such arrogant behavior and asked for explanation. After repeating my question a few times, I was able to deduce from Bastian's one-word replies that he talked to someone else on ftp-master team and was assured that the rejection of sparc binaries was still possible. At this point he allowed me to make commit r6884: * Switch sparc to gcc-4.1, no ABI bump as sparc binaries for 2.6.17-1 never made it to the archive. * Add sparc32-iotlb.patch. * Add myself to uploaders. I added myself to uploaders anticipating that we will be able to upload soon and fix the unfortunate sparc situation. When I've asked whether there are any other pending changes for 2.6.17-2, I was told by Bastian that there's not going to be any upload any time soon because we don't want to trash the buildd network. Later this day I was asked by Maks to review the 2.6.16.22 patch, since it was likely to conflict with sparc patches already in svn. I've examined it, removed the conflicting patch, and committed it in r6886: * Start 2.6.16-6 (typo, should have been -16) * Remove dcache-momry-corruption.patch, included in 2.6.16.22 * Add 2.6.16.22 I believe it was the first time I've added the stable point release to the tree. I've assumed that as the diff was pretty small, the possibility of failure was pretty minor, besides any such failure would have been caught by the snapshot builders. Thus, I didn't run a full build at that time, but only checked that the patches unapply and apply cleanly. To my astonishment soon I've noticed Bastian's commits r6890: Revert r6886. Untested changes. and r6891: * debian/changelog: Update. * debian/templates/control.source.in: Remove Jurij from Uploaders, he has to learn how to test changes first. Even if one ignores the derogatory remark, this does not make any sense, because the latter commit was made into 2.6.17 tree (trunk), which I have personally built and tested on sparc. So, as a result of this I would like to issue the following statement to Bastian: I take reverting the svn commits very seriously. I will not tolerate them without a clear technical explanation of why it was neccessary and allowing a grace period to discuss and fix the problems. If something like this will happen again, I will not hesitate to raise a question of revoking your svn access, because I believe that the need to deal with your childishly arrogant and disruptive behavior has by now outweighed the usefulness of your contributions. I also find your statements about the lack of testing quite hilarious, considering that your latest upload of linux-kbuild-2.6 package has been rejected from NEW due to lack of debian/copyright file. I would also like to ask other members of the team for opinions on the svn commit protocol. I suggest to formulate the policy for testing the changes and for reverting the commits by others, to make sure that such incidents never happen again.

I have made a commit r6880 in Saturday morning (Pacific time): Switch to gcc-4.1 for sparc, because it works (tm). Hi all, ... Please let's not have a fight over this. Bastian, i believe i told you on irc the other day that what you did was not the most diplomatic thing to do, and i do understand how Jurij feels about this, getting ones work summarily dismissed is not something enjoyable (or whatever, too early in the morning to go english vocabulary hunting for more adapted sentences). Anyway, i think Jurij's request for either a policy, or at least a few hours (12, 24 ?) grace period before the reversal seems reasonable. Holding discussion through svn commit logs sucks big time. Jurij, that said, i believe that you take it worse than it is, you can just as easily as Bastian reverted your change, revert his, fix the issue and recommit, so speaking about svn commit prohibition is ways exagerated, especially considering the fact that Bastian is one of the more active kernel team members, and any hindrance in his work will be severly felt. The same goes for you, naturally, there are not that much active team members left that we can afford such a mess. So, Bastian, Jurij, all others, let's try to be more understanding, and solve this to everyone's convenience, and improve relationship for the future.
