For me updating to kernel 2.6.21 completely solved the problem.

Package: linux-image-2.6-686
Version: 2.6.17-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

The dependency for linux-image-2.6-686 in sid is wrong.  It's depending
on a kernel that's no longer available.  I can't upgrade my system
because of this.

There's another bug report from two weeks ago on this, but it's never
even been acknowledged, so I'm trying to nudge *someone* into taking a
look at this.  I don't know the packaging system particulars, but this
can't be a difficult problem to fix.

2.6.17-4 was not in sid when the report was opened, so I suppose you missed 
something. If you're still experiencing this problem, feel free to reopen.

I agree with this. 2.6.23 is not out of question for beta1 but we
can't trust it and we need 2.6.22 to be ready as a safe bed.

So far, those changes that change ABI have not been commited.  I have
no idea if those changes are important or if newer stable updates have
any ABI changing patches that are important.  Maybe maks knows.

It does, but the d-i beta1 will be based on 2.6.22 so we need a
working 2.6.22.  Also, it's not clear how long 2.6.23 will take to
reach testing (just look at 2.6.22) and IP32 (SGI O2) is completely
broken with 2.6.22 - that's definitely worth an upgrade.  Of course,
the 2.6.22.x stable updates are important for users too.

After it, we'd need another udeb uploading cicle. IIRC last stable
updates also changes ABI, don't they?

Preparing another 2.6.22 upload

2007-10-06 Thread Martin Michlmayr
Now that 2.6.22 is finally in testing, we should start planning to
upload 2.6.22-5.  This update is definitely needed on mips since it
fixes two important bugs:

 - #444104: Kernel crashes on boot on IP32 (SGI O2): this kernel
   flavour currently doesn't work at all.
 - qemu NE2000 doesn't work on mips

We need to add the last few stable update for 2.6.22.  Any volunteers?

Bug#445510: initramfs-tools: please fail gracefully for ENOSPC

2007-10-06 Thread Helmut Grohne
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.85h
Severity: wishlist

I recently set up a system with /boot being too small. While this is my
fault update-initramfs could handle this in a better way than backup the
old (working) initramfs and leave a truncated one for the next reboot
will fail. (Yes, it told me that my initramfs was broken afterwards!)

(According to my understanding of the scripts the bug also applies to
0.91b.)

I therefore suggest not creating the new initramfs directly, but create
a new file with a different name and then in the last step rename the
stuff if and only if no error occurred. By doing so the system will more
often be in a bootable state. Furthermore this will prevent making a
system unbootable by suspending the machine while updating the initramfs
(a DD reported this on planet.d.o).

Bug#445314: linux-image-2.6.22-2-amd64: Kernel hang with ASUS P5KC mobo apparently fixed with Linux 2.6.23-rc9

2007-10-06 Thread Karl O. Pinc


On 10/04/2007 07:19:14 PM, maximilian attems wrote:


please report, back on it, thanks


A problem came up with the SATA drives I can't reproduce.

I am using an IDE disk for my regular partitions.
I've 2 SATA disks attached to the mobo's chipset
SATA.  The IDE and the unused (single) internal
SATA and unused external sata are on another J Micron
controller also built into the mobo, see lspci output
above.

Anyhow when I went to use the 2 SATA drives attached
to the non-J Micron controller fdisk said they could
not be read and file -s reported them to be zero length
files.  I saw no messages on the console or in
/var/log/messages or in dmesg.

After rebooting I no longer have this problem.

One thing I did that might have something to do with
something is that I installed mdadm.  Trying to raid1
the 2 SATA disks is how I discovered I had a problem,
but now the raid array seems to create just fine.


On another note one thing that's a bit odd is that
the non-J Micron SATA is listed as UMDA/133 in
the dmesg output. This is probably because the
0701 BIOS (the latest) only has IDE as an option
when configuring these SATA ports.  (This is even
though the mobo manual says these are SATA 3.0Gb
ports.

There is a deadlock fixed since .18[1]. Can you please test if .22 or
newer fix this problem? Or we may just backport it and test it there.
