Bug#498205: Solved!
After an entire day of trudging through the kernel sources, I have figured it out. The problem is that console braille support is compiled into the standard kernel (new in 2.6.26), which uses KEY_INSERT to switch between some modes. In the one mode, the braille support uses the arrow keys, page up/down, home and insert. So, in effect the 'insert' key will never work in the console. I'd think that the braille support should be compiled as a module, if possible, or removed until the code is fixed to not break non-braille users. The corresponding file is drivers/accessibility/braille/braille_console.c And the config option is CONFIG_A11Y_BRAILLE_CONSOLE. nog. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#356090: kernel: Can't access PCMCIA card adapter
BTW, I had no problem with the same PCMCIA adapter + 1-GB SD card with Linux kernel 2.6.6 in July 2004. -- Vincent Lefèvre [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Web: http://www.vinc17.org/ 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: http://www.vinc17.org/blog/ Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#499575: linux-image-2.6-K7 Wait for root file system after upgrading from kernel 2.6.22 to 2.6-K7
Package: linux-image-2.6-K7 Version: 2.6.26+16 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-k7 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages linux-image-2.6-K7 depends on: ii linux-image-2.6-686 2.6.26+16 Linux 2.6 image on PPro/Celeron/PI linux-image-2.6-K7 recommends no packages. linux-image-2.6-K7 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information I know this is a bug often seen before, but there are a few things different. I know about the problem that newer kernels consider hda = sda etc. But I thought it was well before 2.6.22 that it happened. I had a system running Etch with kernel 2.6.18. As a prelude to dist-upgrade to Lenny I installed 2.6.22. This was not satisfactory as kernel-headers-2.6-k7 is not installable. When I upgraded from 2.6.22 to 2.6.26. The machine would hang at Waiting for root file system Then I replaced occurences to hdc1 with LABEL entries. This is the state of the boot stanza in menu.lst and the relevant mount line in fstab: --fstab: LABEL=boot / ext3defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 --menu.lst title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-1-686 root(hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 root=LABEL=boot ro initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686 however, kernel 2.6.22 does boot with this stanza: title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.22-3-k7 root(hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-3-k7 root=LABEL=boot ro initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-3-k7 --/boot/grub/device.map (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/hdc (hd1) /dev/hdd For me that indicates that the LABEL statements are correct. As general recommendation from Google finds I updated initramfs: update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.26-1-686 This resulted in a /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686 with the timestampt of updating. I fear that since the machine is running kernel 2.6.22 at the time of update-initramfs, the update still doesn't know about how to handle sdc instead of hdc. Until now I have not found a way to get this system to boot correctly. Since it was a fairly standard kernel upgrade, nothing fancy, no custom kernels etc, I believe this is a bug. It surprised me as well that after installing the linux-image package, the menu.lst was not automagically updated with the new kernel stanza. I did that manually. Not sure whether that is a bug though. jlinkels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#499575: You should specify filesystems by UUID or LABEL
Hello, Some time ago, I reported bug 417534, describing a somewhat similar problem. Maks Attems closed it with this explanation: the kernel never guarantees device ordering. this is userspace policy. as quick hint UUID usage is recommended: http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2006/08/11/stable-root-device-aka-uuid/ Yes, the breakage during the upgrade is annoying, but you would not remove a working kernel before verifying that your new one works -- so the breakage is temporary, and not terribly difficult to fix. I have not played with the Debian Installer in some time, but I sincerely hope that it writes UUIDs to /etc/fstab and the boot loader configuration. (Ubuntu does, IIRC.) BTW, as you noticed, the k7 flavour has been dropped, so you will have to switch to either the i686 or amd64 flavour. -- graham -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
