The following 59 files, found in Debian's linux-2.6_2.6.17.orig.tar.gz,
apparently contain software in binary form, for which Debian has no
corresponding source code.  Debian policy states that "The program
must include source code, and must allow distribution in source code
as well as compiled form." Therefore Debian must not distribute these
files.

how about if you check for duplicate bug reports!

Hello again,
I have been following Unstable, so I suppose I have used earlier 2.6.17
kernels as well. When I ran xfs_repair on this and one other filesystem,
some errors were found, so as you implied, the problem propably was a
filesystem that hade been previously corrupted. I will keep running
2.6.17-6 and report back again if I run in to more problems.

Feel free to close this bug as user error or something.

Now I only have to find out "the Debian way" of getting a root shell
before / is remounted read-write so I can check that filesystem as
well...

Thanks for your help
/Fredrik

This is barely feasible.  It would mean that the kernel team will have to
spend the next month doing the work to make 2.6.18 DFSG-free.  This could
of course be done very quickly by stripping out all the problematic drivers,
but this would probably be a very bad solution from the installer point of
view.

That's simply unrealistic.  Ignoring what amounts to about 50 RC bugs in
designing a schedule is just stupid.

That means it *must* be DFSG-free.  See above.

For the smoothest results, the upload of a DFSG-free kernel (which is to
say, a freezable kernel) should come after the installer is capable of
loading non-free kernel modules from separate non-free udebs.

So the design of a plausible kernel upload schedule is primarily dependent
on non-free udeb support.  Anyone know what the ETA for that is?

Package: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686

After booting the kernel from linux-image-2.6.17-2 2.6.17-6 one of my
xfs partitions stopped working (the system was idle at the time of the
error). Dmesg contained the following error:

This computer has shown no problems for a long before booting this
kernel. The computer contains a 1.7GHz P4 and 512MB memory. Also, I had
the nvidia kernel module loaded..

After rebooting to linux-image-2.6.17-1 2.6.17-5 the filesystem seems to
work with no problems again.

boot into single user mode by either appending 1 or single

Hello,
After the last update yesterday of the kernel ( from 2.6.17-1 up to 
2.6.17-2 ) I've get some problems.
After many boots, I'm getting at the point, where the kernel 
initialiazes the HID driver, that my hdb timed out and lost his 
interrupt, then he tried to readdress him an interrupt, but that's not 
working.

Urgent : megaraid and qla2300 modules not found

2006-08-17 Thread De Leeuw Guy
Hello,

I have 2 days to install debian etch on our production server.
I download the last daily build of the cdrom (release
debian-testing-ia64-netinstall.iso 20060815).
But missing the driver megaraid legacy and qla2300 on the cdrom

It's my last chance to migrate our redhat to debian

could you help me by building a new daily build iso with these 2 modules
or minimum with the megaraid_legacy ?

Thanks in advance

hmm ok that shows that initramfs-tools set usage wasn't

This does not work since all filesystems are mounted rw at the point
where "single" stops. I solved it by using the kernel arg "ydebug" which
yaird initramfs images looks for and halts just before switching to the
real / filesystem.

Again, thanks for the help

I'll fix this for the next build - thanks for reporting it.
In the meantime it might be easiest for you to:

 * grab
 
http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6.16/linux-image-2.6.16-2-itanium-smp_2.6.16-17_ia64.deb
 * extract the contents somewhere:
dpkg-deb -x linux-image-2.6.16-2-itanium-smp_2.6.16-17_ia64.deb /tmp/dir
 * Post the modules you need on an http server somewhere
 * Once your network is up, drop to a shell and wget the drivers from
   your server
 * Use insmod/modprobe to load these modules
 * return to the installer

If you have problems, like you don't have access to an http server,
etc, hop on #debian-ia64 & i'll try to help you out.

I'm aware of #242866, and I'd be happy to work within
that report.  Something about it seems broken, however,
because RC-buggy linux-2.6 packages keep making it into
testing.  Is it obvious how to keep this from happening,
without starting a new bug attached to linux-2.6?

Huh.  Have you actually looked at the files in question?
I don't actually care what the data is called.

Take a near-random example: drivers/scsi/qlogicpti_asm.c
1. The file represents approximately 18482 bytes of binary
data.  Nobody enters that in hex without machine help.
2. The file name refers to "asm", commonly understood
shorthand for "assembler", the process of (or program for)
converting human-legible code to such binaries.
3. Similar binaries from the same manufacturer, that
are downloaded to boards serving a similar function,
are provided with assembly source code.

If you find any of those 59 files that does _not_ look
like it was machine-generated from source code at some
point in its history, or find comments from the author
explaining how they wrote those files from scratch by
typing in hex numbers, please let me know so I can
correct my inventory.  If you can even show hints that
a file is miscategorized, I would be happy to participate
in constructive discussion.

Your throwaway one-liner above is not a good start.

if you feel like it reassign it,
anyway linux-2.6 is frozen and propagation to testing
is coordinated with the release and the d-i team.
 
> Take a near-random example: drivers/scsi/qlogicpti_asm.c

well that's not a ramdon sample as linus was _always_ joking
on the size of the diffstat due to qlogic firmware upgrades.

on the other side a good example to remove people access to
their discs.

your thrown away grepping is the bad start.

anyway if you want to improve the legal situtation use:

dilinger succeeded in various firmware relicensing
thanks to his quest to the vendors. feel free to pick up.

Re: Urgent : megaraid and qla2300 modules not found

to get qla2xxx drivers working, you need the firmware images from
non-free. A first build is in experimental:

ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-qlogic_0.1_all.deb

and even an udeb, which the installer cannot load automatically yet:

ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-qlogic-di_0.1_all.udeb

These firmwares work well with 2.6.16 and 2.6.17 kernels.

Package: installation
Version: Etch Beta 3

Following installation of Etch, using the Beta 3 installer (netinst CD 
image), installation runs to completion without error, on reboot, grub 
appears fine, and the kernel loads, but during boot hangs with something 
like "waiting for root filesystem".  The root partition is on a Mylex 
DAC960PRL RAID controller, and there is no sign of the relevant module 
being loaded during boot.


PCI vendor ID for the device is: 0x1069
PCI device ID for the device is: 0x0010

I presume the problem lies in the initramfs, but I can't easily get into 
the system to dig around further...


grub boot options are:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-2-686  root=/dev/rd!c0d0p2 ro

Package: installation
Severity: normal

In my system (Debian testing), I use kernel 2.6.15 for some monthes.

Yesterday evening, I'have done:
apt-get install  ttf-alee thunderbird-locale-fr bash apt binutils
(I had seen they were available with apt-get -s update andapt-get -s
upgrade).

After this installation, thunderbird was working fine, in french.

However, at rebooting the system, this morning, the system doesnot boot,
with kernel 2.6.15.
It stops with some panic error, related to a thing about ramfs, at early
stage of boot.
This boot try is not written nor in /var/log/syslog, nor in /var/log/messages.

However, the system boots correctly with the old 2.6.12 kernel, when
ADSL internet correction, udev, and X does not work correctly with my 2.6.12
instalation.

linux-2.6: includes nondistributable and non-free binary firmware

That's the argument that sent sarge out the door with
DFSG violations.

For each offending file, there are three possible solutions:
1. Get the author to release source code under a DFSG-free license
2. Move the firmware to non-free, patching the driver to use
   request_firmware()
3. Delete the driver and firmware entirely.

AFAIK, the best outcome yet from the relicensing discussions
on http://wiki.debian.org/KernelFirmwareLicensing is to properly
permit the redistribution of the binary, without source code.
That's fine for debian non-free, and a necessary step for making
option (2) above work properly.  Until and unless the entire
Linux kernel is moved to non-free, such relicensing doesn't
solve the fundamental bug.

I agree that option (3) is bad, but I still recommend it for
the short term.  It's the quickest path to a legal and
SC-conforming Linux release, and it will bring people out
of the closet to volunteer to work on (2).  I think (2)
is the actual goal, but maybe not one that can be finished
before the proposed etch freeze -- especially since most
of the blobs need to be relicensed before they can be made
part of firmware-nonfree.

I would be amazed and impressed if option (1) could be made
to work for any of these files.  I don't volunteer to try.

If the kernel team decides on (2) or (3), I'd be happy to
help with the coding.  (Note that, due to the unfortunate
state of upstream, most of the patching/deletion has to
happen in the creation of the .orig.tar.gz file, not the
.diff.gz file)  Unfortunately, due to a lack of hardware,
I can't help with any testing (other than "does it compile").

No wonder you're so fucking enthusiastic about removing support for
hardware. You don't own any of it. How fucking convenient.

Since we seem to be pissing all over the spirit of the Social Contract
in the name of some holy quest for the unattainable goal of cooperative
vendors, Matthew Garrett[1] and I[2] have filed bugs to remove support for
all NVidia devices. Enjoy VESA folks.

1. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=383465
2. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=383481

Now, I don't think you understand what "preferred form of modification" is.

In all likelihood, the engineer who wrote, for example, the QLogic driver,
never even touched the firmware, never once questioned it, another engineer
simply gave him an array to copy to the card. The engineer who wrote the
driver didn't know, or care, about what should have just been on an EEPROM,
all he cared about was properly writing a Linux driver to talk to the
hardware.

This is the difference between a piece of firmware, and an actual
binary blob that something calls into.

Conviently, this is also the difference between the ``free'' NVidiot
drivers, and any of the firmware-encumbered drivers you posted. No one,
and I really mean No One, can really claim to contribute meaningfully
to those NVidia drivers. However, all of the other drivers you mentioned
have likely had substancially contributions from outsiders (other than
the vendor, I mean.) (I say "likely" with a degree of certainty, having
seen patches from !vendors for most of them.)

Now, don't you have something better to do than hurt our users?

Lots of love,
Kyle M.

PS: I feel it again worth mentioning, that even if there were no firmware
in the driver, you would just get the exact same data if you pulled the
EEPROM and stuck it in a reader.

Maks, please don't pick up a fight with larry so quickly, this is something
that you know was coming, which all the kernel team knew was coming, and the
release team also was aware of as shown with the past hints from Andreas
Barth, wearing his RM hat, about this.

Notice that i was the first who started this and contacted broadcom, but then
Andres did most of the follow up work on this, and as said, it makes those
firmware again distributable, but not free enough to enter main.

I am dubious though that the wiki page can easily be modified to look as
nicely as the page larry provided, but then i am no wiki expert, so i will let
others comment who are more wiki experts (jonas maybe ?).

Kyle, this idiocy as you say it, is grounded in what we all claim and agreed

Erm, some guys tried to kick me out of debian for showing unpoliteness, so
please moderate your language here.

Or simply don't buy nvidia hardware :) They have since forever (i remember
talks about their binary only driver in the tnt2 days), been the worse enemy's
of the free software community from all the graphic card manufacturers.

So, what ? Would your reasoning mean we can move the unicorn driver into main
? It includes a binary-only soft-ADSL library, which i personally know, that
not only the original unicorn author never saw the source for, but that even
the compmany who produces the hardware for it never even saw the source code,
since they bought the binary as is from some random chip company.

Then, if you accept this in main, where would be your next step ? 

> This is the difference between a piece of firmware, and an actual
> binary blob that something calls into.

No, what is important is what the prefered form of modification is, and this
is the one used by the original author, and not what whoever ships the binary
in a modified form along the way has.

Ah, you have a good point, but this goes down into free hardware, andthere has
been very few discussion about this around.

Indeed, one could argue that the effective prefered form for modification of
all those drivers is the hardware specs document, or even go beyond to the
actual vhdl file for the chip, and the schematic for the board its hosted in.

Indeed. We don't chip the EEPROM though, and thus our DFSG doesn't applies to
this.

If you have trouble standing up to the principles of the DFSG, or some issue
with the social contract, as interpreted by the last GR we had about this,
feel free to propose your own GR about this, and await for the outcome. Just
complaining puts you in the same class as those guys who complained about the
non-free firmware, but unlike Larry, did not contribute any amount of actual
work.

Can I deduce from this that _you_ own some of the affected hardware?
If I patch in request_firmware() support for that driver, would you
be willing to test it?

Fully cooperative vendors would be nice, but I agree in most cases
that's unattainable.  Until that miraculous day arrives, the firmware
that they supply needs to be removed from the free Linux kernel, have
its license checked, and put into the firmware-nonfree package set up
for that purpose.  If you disagree with that process, say so.

> Now, I don't think you understand what "preferred form of modification" is.

Trust me, as someone who has written and maintained firmware,
I know what the "preferred form of modification" is.

You're probably right, since the Linux driver was probably written after
the Windows driver.  In a small company there is usually good communication
and shared debugging sessions between the firmware author(s) and their first
"client", that is, the author of the first driver.

> This is the difference between a piece of firmware, and an actual
> binary blob that something calls into.

I'm sorry if I used the word "blob" for something unusual.
Binary blobs that get linked to by the kernel and executed are not
firmware, and from a practical perspective are worse.  Linus doesn't
let those into the kernel, and taints kernels if they are loaded
as modules.  Legally, library blobs (executed by the Linux processor)
and firmware blobs (executed by outboard controllers) are not all that
different.

> Now, don't you have something better to do than hurt our users?

I can think of a few snide replies to this.  Can we instead
please keep emotion out of this discussion?  Can we agree that
etch must have a DFSG-free Linux kernel, and we need to work
together to make that kernel work as well as possible for as
many users as possible?

The origin of our problem is that manufacturers have taken to
saving themselves a little money by leaving the EEPROM off their
boards, and putting the firmware on the MS-Windows[TM] driver CD
instead.  While they are presumably happy to let Linux users use
that same firmware, the legal and practical mechanism to have
that happen is (in the cases I flagged) broken.

If you take an EEPROM and stick it in a reader, you (the owner
of the hardware) probably have fair use rights to put it on a
disk and boot your hardware from it.  Since that firmware is
copyrighted, and you don't own the copyright, you do not have
the right to post it to the web or submit it to the mainline
Linux kernel tree.

linux-2.6 will no more migrate to testing without the RMs explicit aproval.
The RMs in this case being Andreas Barth and Steve Langasek (and some new RM
team members i don't remember exactly offhand), and it is they who have the
ultimate word of what will be included in etch. Please contact the
debian-release@lists.debian.org mailing list to comment on this.

No, what allowed sarge to go out the door with DFSG violations was an
unambigous GR by a majority of the debian developers who decided to include
those non-free firmware (and GFDL docs, and some random fonts, and ...), into
sarge even though they didn't quite meet the DFSG.

That vote is not valid for etch though, as we decided to waive that only for
sarge, so only a new GR will allow debian to release the current kernel with
non-free firmware as part of etch, independently of the migration scripts you
are so worried about above.

Indeed, but even that was laughed at back then when we started at it, and you

Indeed, which is because we could also consider :

  6. Pass another GR to allow debian/etch to release as is, provided we commit

  pro-active wording, which say we will make every effort to solve this issue,

This is not a problem, we can easily enough spin a linux-2.6-2.6.18.dfsg1 or
someting when the time is ready.

There is not much time before the actual etch release is at hand, which is why
6. is probably a better solution right now, especially if you consider that
while we delay etch, debian/sarge will still carry those non-free bits, and so
even if we delay etch until around the same time we would have had etch+1 out
the door (18 month from december 6, or june 6 2008), we would have gained
nothing with regard to freeness.

So, let's get etch out the door as is, or with the work we can do until the

I repeat my offer to patch any (well, almost any) of these
drivers to use request_firmware().  I need a volunteer who
has the affected hardware and is willing to test my changes.
It would also be nice if debian kernel developers expressed
interest in incorporating such work (if any) for etch.

One alternative sven mentioned is to move these drivers to
non-free.  I don't see any existing framework for such
package(s), but that would indeed involve less coding
and debugging.

I am concerned about etch, and the pipeline from upstream
to Debian is long enough that I think it's too late to
work upstream.

At least 12 of the 59 files are probably licensed "free enough"
for upstream, so upstream will have limited interest in those
cases.

> the drivers are free not-*** non-free.

I agree the drivers are free.  That's why I hope we can eventually
separate them from the non-free firmware they include.

I can say that the debian kernel team is interested in incorporating such
changes, provided :

  1) it is not already too late for it. The RMs will have to judge on that.

  2) the proposed patches are well implemented patches of good quality, are
  well tested and result in no breakage.

  3) We are able to solve all those cases for etch, or remove the others.
  Doing it otherwise would be an injustice, and it would be better to postpone
  this.

  4) The d-i team implement the needed support in d-i to load non-free
  firmware or even module .udebs, and build non-free flavours of the installer
  images in an official way.

  5) There is seemless integration of these non-free drivers and firmware, and
  a user will not notice

There is, we have prune-non-free in trunk/scripts on the svn repo, as well as
the linux-non-free-drivers (or whatever it is called), also in trunk in the
svn repo, and which Bastian Blank has been working on since a long time.

long enough ? We inaugurated same-day-uploads with the upstream 2.6.14
release, what do you find long enough about this.

But you are right, bringing it upstream will be a long fight, and only be
possible post 2.6.18, which is the targeted kernel for etch, so it is out of
the question.

> At least 12 of the 59 files are probably licensed "free enough"

:) Two of them thanks to previous work of the debian kernel team.

Ok.

Now that the above was said, my own position still is that it is best to not
delay the etch release, to pass a GR to keep the firmware in main for etch,
and to immediately actively start working on the solution for etch+1.

It is not as if this would come to a surprise to anyone interested in solving
this issue the right way, the kernel team has been discussing this over and
over since over a year now, and it is back then that help should have come,
not now.

So, let's not do it in a hurry, but instead do it right for etch+1, which
given the release date of the d-i team, is not doable anymore.

Sven Luther

Well, we would not have been in this mess, if *YOU* had not forced me to over
and over and over and over mention the ide-generic issue, and the mess you
made of yaird, and if i had not decided that discussion was enough, and
actually investigated the issue and proved beyond all doubt that i was right
in it.

I still have not stomached how you chose to not credit my part of that work in
the yaird changelog when you finally reverted the patch you took half an hour
in real-life explaining to me that you should not even look at it in erkelenz,
when i proposed to you quite friendly, lets site together and have a look and
fix it. I even came back positively and constructively 4 days in a row just to
end the day in the same state of complete and total exhasperation over your
impossible and stuborn position, which was just plain wrong as it was proven
in the end, and this just as i learned that my mother had terminal cancer,
altough you didn't know about this (but others did and chose not to care).

As for the rest, i have made many proposals to settle the issues with the d-i
team and frans, even twice appealed to the DPL, but to no result so far, they
have fully refused any proposal of settlement since all those months, and are
the sole responsibles for me always coming back with this, especially as they
regularly continue to bash me, like Frans has done since over a year now.

So, i would expect a bit more humility in your own claims when saying things
like the above, and to reflect a bit on the part of responsability you have in
the current state of affairs before you say stuff like the above.

I do appreciate your position on the expulsion request by Andres though, and i
have thanked you for it already in the past, and will repeat this again now.

You may want to start with tg3, that's the place where the last

Was there not some very very strong opposition to the firmware removal from

No, you failing to do a responsible job while maintaining yaird is to blame.

Or let's say it the other way around.

If i hadn't repeated the problem over and over and over and over, and finally
taken action, the ide-generic bug would not yet have been closed. Nobody was
in a real hurry to investigate it really, and everyone was complaining about
it.

And as said, you didn't even credit me in the changelog, thus trying to take
all the glory for the fixing to you and others, and diminishing my role in it.

actually did all the work back then, even if you deny it now.

Done, i tried to do a little bit with the tables, but i guess the {{{ }}} goes
in the way.

Will this not cause problem with the table ? This is the one which worries me.

I consider it data, there no need for special arrangements to distribute
the data of a GPL'ed program.

I don't think the project need anymore such vulgarities, please try to stay
polite, reread the social contract, and abide by what you agreed to when you
joined debian.

Bug#380272: kernel-image-2.6-686-smp: cpqarray module fails to detect arrays

2006-08-17 Thread Joshua Rubin
Hi Max,

I just realized that I never tried your last suggestions. I will try them 
first thing when I get in to work tomorrow.

I have received some more info about this bug. It appears to be a timing 
issue. Here is the link to the bug at kernel.org with an interesting 
suggestion (that I have not tried): 
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6921.

My company has inherited 5 racks of these compaq servers and it is very 
important that debian etch work well on them :)

Thanks for all the help,
Joshua Rubin

Bug#242866: updated tg3.c patch

2006-08-17 Thread ldoolitt
The most recent tg3.c patch posted here (by Herbert Xu on Tue, 11 May
2004) does not apply cleanly to linux-2.6.17.  No surprise, a lot has
changed in the last two years.  I applied it by hand (it wasn't hard),
and I can verify that the result (freshened patch attached) compiles
without error.  I can also set up tg3 files for the firmware-nonfree
package, and supply kernel images for i386 and/or amd64.  Testers?
