Bug#387809: initramfs-tools: please increase sleep time on nfs retries
Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.79 Severity: minor when using nfs, it sleeps for 0.1 seconds. it retries 180 times by default. this means the server may get nearly 180 dhcp and nfs mount requests in a little over 18 seconds, and while an individual client doing this is no big deal, an entire network doing this could be crippling. please increase the delay to 1 second, or better yet, increase the retry delay a little each failure, i.e. : 1 second 1st retry, 2 seconds 2nd retry, 4 seconds 3rd retry, etc.. i'll work on some patches later... live well, vagrant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The packaged version has the "umcompressor thingy" and it's the latest version from upstream [0]. But it's older than the kernel. I'm going to mail upstream asking for a official 10.0.12 tarball. The thing is that the umcompressor is needed to get working the webcam on higher resolutions. So my version is still needed by some users. [0] http://saillard.org/linux/pwc/files/ - -- - | ,''`.

Bug#387808: initramfs-tools: scripts/nfs doesn't properly handle when server-ip is included in root-path
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.79
Severity: normal
one more bugfix to the nfs handling. :)
it's a trivial fix, but when the dhcp server passes the server-ip as
part of root-path, it's not correctly handled in scripts/nfs. patch
attached which fixes this.

Victor, can you comment on this ? Also, Bastian, why is the modules being MPL a problem ? I mean we have binary-only modules and such, and it should be ok. The current idea is that the module interface boundary, as long as it doesn't use GPL-only symbols, constitute a clean enough barrier so as to not cause GPL-compatibility problems.

A better fix would be to always keep a copy of the old vmlinuz/initrd.img pair or ramdisk including vmlinuz. This would solve lot of problems of this kind, and always keep one or more fallback to older kernels.

Bug#387780: initramfs-tools: power cut during update-initramfs leaves system unbootable
Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.79 Severity: important A power cut during update-initramfs may leave the system in an unbootable state as the old initrd.img is overwritten, but the new initrd.img is not yet completed. (This happened to me when my laptop battery ran empty.) A simple fix would be to create the new initrd.img as a temporary file and move it to replace the old initrd.img only after image creation has been finished. That way, the chance to have an unbootable system after a power cut would be significantly lower, restricted to situations in which the old initrd.img doesn't work anymore. -- Package-specific info: -- /proc/cmdline root=/dev/hda3 ro -- /proc/filesystems cramfs reiserfs ntfs vfat -- lsmod Module Size Used by ipv6 217760 10 xt_tcpudp 2976 3 xt_state1888 1 ip_conntrack 48792 1 xt_state nfnetlink 5944 1 ip_conntrack iptable_filter 2752 1 ip_tables 11160 1 iptable_filter x_tables 11332 3 xt_tcpudp,xt_state,ip_tables nls_cp437 5600 1 vfat 11296 1 fat46588 1 vfat nls_iso8859_1 3936 2 ntfs 190380 1 dm_snapshot15324 0 dm_mirror 17236 0 dm_mod 47892 2 dm_snapshot,dm_mirror battery 9252 1 ac 4612 0 i810_audio 31028 0 ac97_codec 17004 1 i810_audio usbkbd 6368 0 orinoco_cs 16420 1 orinoco34452 1 orinoco_cs hermes 7136 2 orinoco_cs,orinoco tsdev 7200 0 mousedev 10368 2 hw_random 5272 0 snd_intel8x0 29436 1 pcmcia 34844 1 orinoco_cs firmware_class 9472 1 pcmcia snd_intel8x0m 15372 1 snd_ac97_codec 82784 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m snd_ac97_bus2048 1 snd_ac97_codec sd_mod 16208 0 snd_pcm_oss43520 0 snd_mixer_oss 15584 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm74408 4 snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss shpchp 39200 0 pci_hotplug24180 1 shpchp intel_agp 20860 1 agpgart29232 1 intel_agp pcspkr 2948 0 psmouse34248 0 serio_raw 6436 0 snd_timer 20292 1 snd_pcm snd46080 11 snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 8672 2 i810_audio,snd snd_page_alloc 9800 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m,snd_pcm evdev 8736 0 rtc11252 0 yenta_socket 23660 5 rsrc_nonstatic 11840 1 yenta_socket pcmcia_core37264 3 pcmcia,yenta_socket,rsrc_nonstatic parport_pc 31472 0 parport31720 1 parport_pc floppy 55628 0 reiserfs 216784 1 ide_cd 35328 0 cdrom 31888 1 ide_cd ide_disk 14528 5 usb_storage69312 0 scsi_mod 10 2 sd_mod,usb_storage e100 31044 0 mii 5056 1 e100 piix8932 0 [permanent] generic 4164 0 [permanent] uhci_hcd 26640 0 ide_core 111440 5 ide_cd,ide_disk,usb_storage,piix,generic usbcore 110560 4 usbkbd,usb_storage,uhci_hcd thermal12968 1 processor 21696 1 thermal fan 4452 1 -- kernel-img.conf # Do not create symbolic links in / do_symlinks = Yes -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (800, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages initramfs-tools depends on: ii busybox-cvs-static20040623-1 Standalone rescue shell with tons ii cpio 2.6-17 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii klibc-utils 1.4.27-1 small statically-linked utilities ii module-init-tools 3.2.2-3tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii udev 0.093-1/dev/ and hotplug management daemo initramfs-tools recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Actually it is a specific problem of the Debian-kernel here: The config lacks CONFIG_PMAC_BACKLIGHT_LEGACY=y , which is obviously required for pbbuttonsd to work. Future versions of pbbuttonsd will hopefully not require this option. However, some of the patches applied to the Debian-flavor of the kernel even remove this config option, thus it currently can't even just be added to the config options. Just to reiterate: I built a vanilla 2.6.18-rc7 and using the above option pbbuttonsd continues to work as expected. Regards, Michael signature.asc Description: Digital signature
