Bug#421443: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686: ide tape broken and ide scsi disabled, ide tapes unuseable
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686 Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12 Severity: important Kernel detects ide tape ide-tape: hdb - ht0: Seagate STT2A rev 8A51 ide-tape: hdb - ht0: 1000KBps, 6*54kB buffer, 9720kB pipeline, 108ms tDSC, DMA After which all userland utilities fail to access it or issue any commands to it. The drive mostly works using ide-tape in 2.6.14 and 2.6.16 on write (some read problems). Works fine in 2.6.16 using ide-scsi read/write. Frankly, anyone who has had to use ide-tapes knows that Linus can go get lost with his statement about the IDE tape driver now being a perfect replacement for ide-scsi (multiple times on lkm since 2003). It isn't. In fact I have yet to see a kernel release where it works fine. So disabling IDE-SCSI is not nice. That is the only means to use ide tape drives at the moment. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.18-4-686 depends on: ii coreutils 5.97-5.3 The GNU core utilities ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii initramfs-tools [linux-initra 0.85g tools for generating an initramfs ii module-init-tools 3.3-pre4-2 tools for managing Linux kernel mo Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.18-4-686 recommends: ii libc6-i686 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries [i -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

old computer : kernel hang with Etch 2.6.18 fixed
Old computers with VBE 1.2 compliant graphics cards might not boot the new Etch installer or distribution, which is based on a 2.6.18 kernel. The machine will hang right before uncompressing the kernel. A laptop that suffers from this is the first series of the Vobis Lebook (Mitac 5024) laptop. The reason is a particular patch introduced in kernels 2.6.17.14. This post is just to document possible fixes: a) Compile your own 2.6.18 Debian kernel. Just make to set this kernel configuration: CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID=N b) In kernel = 2.6.21 a fix has been incorporated, which does not require the above change in the .config More information can be found here: http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1458 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hm, a tricky question since Malta supports many different CPUs. 4kc-malta would be the compatible denominator for the kernel config given, i.e. we don't support the old legacy core cards with MIPS IV CPUs, but any 4kc or newer CPU should work ok.

I don't have the time to build it myself, now. Will the amd64 build be available on kernel-archive.buildserver.net in the near future? Moreover, I'm currently running Debian testing (lenny) and I'm waiting for linux-image-2.6.20-1-amd64_*_amd64.deb to migrate from unstable to testing. According to http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/testing.pl?package=linux-2.6 this migration is currently blocked by the usual 10-day quarantine, by RC bugs, and by the migration of glibc (which, in its turn, is too young, has RC bugs, and is in freeze...). I wonder if I could just install linux-image-2.6.20-1-amd64_*_amd64.deb from sid: $ wget http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-image-2.6.20-1-amd64_2.6.20-3_amd64.deb # dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.20-1-amd64_2.6.20-3_amd64.deb Does a lenny box need glibc 2.5 to work properly with that kernel from sid?

Meta package for kernel install
Hi. Just few words to ask a quetsion. What is linux-image-2.6-k7 package ? I think that it's just a meta pack to ease the install of the latest linux 2.6 kernel. If i'm right, i think that it could be a good idea to comment this package as it ... I took this example, but it could be the same for all µp specific deb files. Thanks for all.
