A Request
Dear Debian Linux kernel developers/maintainers, Could you please provide a backport of the latest sky2.c driver on the latest stable Linux kernel source or image of the Debian GNU/Linux Etch? As you may notice this site => http://tinyurl.com/2udyqr and the sky2.c version that we have on our latest stable Linux kernel for the Debian GNU/Linux Etch, there are lots of bug fixes for the said driver. I have several production servers that uses this sky2.c driver running Debian GNU/Linux Etch but I must say that the bugs for this driver are still a threat to the stability of my servers most especially when one of my servers crashed (kernel panic) because of this sky2.c driver. Please, I am requesting from your kind heart to provide a backport of the sky2.c driver for the Debian GNU/Linux Etch. Thank you in advance and hoping for a favorable response. Regards, GNUbie

it was not possible to deliver that for etch due to too old

Debian bug tracking system administrator (administrator, Debian Bugs database) --- Begin Message --- Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.90a Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system Hi, I have the same situation described by Beojan in one of my boxes but not the other two - all three are debian testing. His solution - yaird - also worked for me. Reading the bug report I came about an interesting point in that the phrases below do not apply to me as my systems always were/are debian: " i'm sorry but your initramfs-tools is not from debian, we _never_ shipped with an modprobe -Q argument in those boot scripts. " " >You may wish to know that I switched to Debian from Feisty using > dist-upgrade, and udev > didn't get upgraded. " A call to egrep -r modprobe /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/ shows some modprobe commands, all are without options such as: tatarana:/etc/default# egrep -r modprobe /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/ | head -2 /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/ps3:modprobe ps3_storage /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/ps3:modprobe gelic_net I run apt-get dist-upgrade regularly on these systems. Yesterday - oct 14 2007 - I brought all three up to date. Only one maintained the problem. The other two booted ok with new 2.6.22-2 kernel. My systems differ only in installed packages and initial install date. I do not get any deb files outside of apt. At the end of this message is my sources.list for reference. My current initramfs is also 0.90a. tatarana:~# ls /var/cache/apt/archives/ | grep initram initramfs-tools_0.89_all.deb initramfs-tools_0.90a_all.deb initramfs-tools_0.90_all.deb Since apt installed kernel 2.6.21-2 on my system I get the "Waiting for root filesystem" at boot time error. What is amazing is that my other two boxes have also up to date kernels and never had this problem. I initially reported this error as a kernel error but was unable to do a good follow-up on it. I imagined that as the kernel evolved the problem would dissapear. Since it did not I resumed trying to figure out the situation. Beojan's report reproduced my error. His modprobe -Q explanation though does not seem to apply to my computer. I hope a comparision of my three systems will help in finding the cause of this problem.

closing as the kernel don't set the setuid bit on files

(Fujitsu MHS2060AT 60GB). I don't want to use the Phoenix Recovery feature (for which the reserved 10GB are meant to be used) and the HPA but cannot turn it off in the BIOS. Knoppix discovers the full capacity of the drive and allows me to create partitions, filesystems in the HPA. di currently doesn't. dmesg after Knoppix boot (V3.4, Kernel 2.4.23-xfs) tells me: --snip-- hda: Host Protected Area detected. current capacity is 104041314 sectors (53269 MB) native capacity is 117210240 sectors (60011 MB) hda: Host Protected Area disabled hda: 117210240 sectors (60011 MB) [...] --snap-- whereas dmesg on a shell during the di-setup tells me: --snip-- hda: Host Protected Area detected. current capacity is 104041314 sectors (53269 MB) native capacity is 117210240 sectors (60011 MB) hda: 104041314 sectors (53269 MB) [...] --snap-- obviously the default behaviour of how to treat the HPA-"feature" differs between the knoppix and the di kernel. Unfortunately I was not able to get the di kernel to disable the HPA, too. I tried the following boot parameters: hd=7296,255,63 (which is the "native" geometry reported by fdisk on knoppix) hda=stroke (which after looking at the source of the current ide-driver should disable HPA, I think) hda=noprobe hda=stroke hda=7296,255,63 but nothing works. I have the feeling that these options aren't even passed to the ide-driver which is loaded after the 3 language settings during setup are configured. I tried to load the ide-generic module from a shell, before di loads it with modprobe ide-generic hda=stroke and some other options as mentioned above. but all of that has no effect. di still recognizes the drive as 53.something GB and does not allow me to install into the last 10GB of the disk. (btw. removing the ide-driver at this stage with modprobe -r ide-generic causes a segfault in the kernel! That's pretty ugly even if the ide module is not to be expected to be removed, anyway. While experimenting I had to do several reboots because of that.) I tried to shrink my XP-Partition and install debian into the "official" disk-space, but this causes an even more severe problem. In that case the installation goes very well at first. Everything is copied and GRUB is installed into the MBR. But after the reboot GRUB says (approximately from my memory): GRUB stage 1.5 loading GRUB, please wait... And nothing happens. Not even an error message. I can only hard-reset. Probably GRUB gets confused with the 2 drive geometries (thanks to HPA) and can't access the stage2? I have booted knoppix, mounted and chrooted the debian partition and rerun grub-install: No effect. The problem then was that the Windows XP-CD didn't boot after that for some reason(black screen after scanning hardware and the disk LED flashing for a splitsecond) which would have allowed me to reinstall the Windows-MBR. -> I had to completely reinstall XP after zeroing out the MBR!!! So, since it can be expected that more and more notebooks will be built with this nice HPA/cME-"feature" (I didn't know abou

It sounds like if you switch on the TV and have no TV station tuned in. As I can see after the boot by adjusting the mixer settings, the noise comes from the TV card channel. The noise disappears when starting and closing a TV application. When I start Nextview EPG (nxtvepg), which is an electronic program guide, I can hear the sound of the TV station currently tuned in. The EPG does not provide any TV screen output and should not provide any audio output either. The TV sound does not disappear when closing Nextview EPG. To get rid of it, I have to start a TV application like xawtv, MoTV or tvtime and close it. To me it seems as if the TV card sound is being switched on during the boot process, probably when loading the module. The card is a Medion with a Philips SAA7134 chip.
