Kernel version for etch 4.0 release?
Hi I have the same question as I asked a bit more than a month ago. I can see that 2.6.18 is available in unstable and 2.6.17 is available in testing. Which one will be the one for the release? Do you know that (assuming release sometime in the end of the year or early next year) or is it still an open issue?

The kernel team strongly favours a 2.6.18 kernel for etch, already many fixes are only in the 2.6.18 kernel, and not in the 2.6.17 one, but d-i is still building 2.6.17 daily builds, and aim to do a -rc1 release with 2.6.17 (which i believe to be a mistake in the long run, but what can i say).

This may be also a good target as RHEL5 will also release with Linux 2.6.18 (we use their xen patch for the kernel already) and Xen 3.0.3. My current plan is: - Upload 3.0.3-testing with version 3.0.3~rc1+hg$revision and abi 3.0.3-rc1. - Let it migrate to testing. - Update kernel to use this one as first option instead of only 3.0-unstable-1. - Remove xen-unstable from testing after anything else is migrated.

Wacom Tablet Driver dosen't work as expected
Hello, I've installed Linux kernel 2.6.17-2-k7 a few days ago. But the wacom driver for my Volito2 Tablet seems to do nothing. It's loaded on pluging in the USB-device, but I could not receive any vital signs from the relevant /dev/input/event?. Trying kernel version 2.6.18 from Sid has no other result. The kernels 2.6.16 and former kernels are working fine. As well does kernel 2.6.17 with self compiled modules form linuxwacom.sf.net (tested production: 0.7.4-3 and development: 0.7.5-4). Through I'm more user than expert, I hope this are all informations you need. Meinert Jordan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#389994: Found the bug, patch attached
The bug is in this section:
if [ "${NFSROOT#:*}" = "$NFSROOT" ]; then
NFSROOT=${ROOTSERVER}:${NFSROOT}
fi
The :* is the wrong way around so if $NFSROOT=192.168.0.4:/ the :*
pattern won't match (NFSROOT doesn't start with :) and so NFSROOT gets
turned into 192.168.0.4:192.168.0.4:/ which fails to mount. Changing the
pattern to *: works as (would %:*).
Cheers,
Tim.

Not ready for prime time, only js20/21 ppc970 blades are supported, and there is no VIOS, so no disk or network, which makes this probably not all that useful, even if it where stable.

Bug#390791: mkinitramfs doesn't include required firmware
Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.80 mkinitramfs doesn't include the contents of /lib/firmware in the initramfs. It does, however, include a wide array of disk drivers by default (well, when using the "most" driver set) - including the qla2xxx fibre channel driver. Recent Debian kernels have removed the embedded ROM from qla2xxx (arguably good, since it's officially deprecated anyway), which requires that /lib/firmware/ql2200_fw.bin exist before it can initialize my Qlogic 2200 FC cards. Of course, that dir doesn't exist in the initramfs... The qla2xxx driver gets loaded during the initramfs, but it's completely non-functional. I need to manually remove it and re-insert it after booting (since /lib/firmware exists in the full userland) before the driver will actually work. It'd be very, very nice if mkinitramfs would just drop the contents of /lib/firmware into the initramfs. As driver firmware migrates out of the kernel and into userland, this sort of problem may become more common... -- Mike Shuey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

We should. I've had such bad luck that I suggest someone else write the template. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFIbwnRGZ0aC4lkIIRAkVMAJ9hyCXGFWAsAKToY1bXuevfaxvm8gCeIp1X FSGVya7Z10aARlLz1B+OYRw= =mOI0 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Name one specific problem with it, or stop slandering it. Really. Seriously. I've never gotten an actual technical criticism, besides the ones I mentioned before, which are all problems with firmware loading in general, and not problems with my patch itself. I'd be happy to fix any actual problems, but I can't fix mythical problems which nobody is willing to describe. The code *is* ugly. It's ugly because the upstream code is ugly -- nearly the whole driver is in a spinlock. I'm not up to rewriting the entire driver to increase lock granularity: that requires an extremely detailed understanding of the hardware and driver. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD4DBQFFIcY0RGZ0aC4lkIIRAngFAJ91LnvcBaFsz4XqvYTkFrWbZXRbHwCXVQXI 1tNQYIBlsz4OFrhL78uP5A== =Y6s8 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
