Kernel 2.6.28 breaks Network Manager on PowerPC with airport card (orinoco)[May Be False Alarm]
I don't know if this is the right place for this message, but i figured it was my best shot. I have two older apple systems, an iBook Tangerine (300 MHz G3) and a Pismo Powerbook (a.k.a. 200, Firewire)(500 MHz G3) I downloaded the netinstall files a while back, and the kernel they installed (on both machines) was 2.6.18 (deb file name: linux-image-2.6.18-6-powerpc_2.6.18.dfsg.1-23_powerpc.deb ) Following the instructions at http://wiki.debian.org/orinoco , i downloaded the firmware for the wireless card and installed the 2.6.28 kernel, believing that this would result in working WPA support. It did, sorta. Using wpa_supplicant alone (no Network Manager, or wicd or anything) seemed to work However, Network Manager now saw my Airport card as "Apple UniNorth Keylargo I/O (wlan0)" or something similar, and identified it as a wired interface. Also, autodetection of mountable volumes (e.g., flash drives) failed silently. wicd was able to make it work, primarily because it accesses devices differently. (exactly what that difference is, i am unsure) So, i am assuming that the kernel, or one of the daemons does not operate correctly, and causes this problem I downgraded back to the 2.6.18 kernel, and, while i no longer have any wpa support, i at least have wifi. things i don't know: - which kernel version causes this breakage. (> 2.6.18?) - what exactly causes the breakage - if the breakage really is attributable to the kernel This isn't a request for help, just a note to inform you of my experience with this kernel Regards, Patrick. -- Alanis Morissette - "We'll love you just the way you are if you're perfect." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#515125: general: cpu frequency scaling crashes my system

Well, the most likely is either the kernel, or a bug in your BIOS. I'm reassigning this bug to the kernel package so that the experts on this can take a look at this. What CPU, motherboard and BIOS version do you have exactly? Please send us the contents of the files /proc/cpuinfo, /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor and /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver, as well as the output of the command "lsmod" (all this taken when "AMD Quiet'n'cool is enabled in the kernel). The BIOS version is shown on the boot screen, before grub (or lilo), usually on the third / fourth line or something like that. You may also try to see if there is a BIOS update available for your motherboard; it may solve the problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Hi, my mainboard is: ASUS M2N32 WS Professional AwardBIOS v6.00PG, 05/05/2008-C51XEMCP55PXE-M2N32-WS-00. cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor userspace userspace (this is default, but last time my machine crashed i have changed manually to 'ondemand') cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver powernow-k8 cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 67 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ stepping: 3 cpu MHz : 2800.000 cache size : 1024 KB physical id : 0 siblings: 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 2 apicid : 0 initial apicid : 0 fdiv_bug: no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug: no coma_bug: no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow pni cx16 lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8_legacy bogomips: 5630.14 clflush size: 64 power management: ts fid vid ttp tm stc processor : 1 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 67 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ stepping: 3 cpu MHz : 2800.000 cache size : 1024 KB physical id : 0 siblings: 2 core id : 1 cpu cores : 2 apicid : 1 initial apicid : 1 fdiv_bug: no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug: no coma_bug: no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow pni cx16 lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8_legacy bogomips: 5630.14 clflush size: 64 power management: ts fid vid ttp tm stc cpufreq-info cpufrequtils 004: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2006 Report errors and bugs to cpuf...@lists.linux.org.uk, please. analyzing CPU 0: driver: powernow-k8 CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0 1 hardware limits: 1000 MHz - 3.00 GHz available frequency steps: 3.00 GHz, 2.80 GHz, 2.60 GHz, 2.40 GHz, 2.20 GHz, 2.00 GHz, 1.80 GHz, 1000 MHz available cpufreq governors: conservative, powersave, ondemand, userspace, performance current policy: frequency should be within 1000 MHz and 3.00 GHz.

Yes and no.
The good news is that Marcel Holtmann added a disable_esco parameter for
people like me, so we'd no longer have to patch our kernel while this
issue is being investigated.
The bad news is that I can't give 2.6.27+ a try, since 769be97 breaks
things even further; any connection attempt just hangs there, with
nothing interesting showing up in my logs. Unlike the previous eSCO
commit, simply redefining lmp_ssp_capable() to 0 does no good, and the
commit cannot be cleanly reverted in v2.6.28.

Looks like #9871 (and #10332, probably a duplicate) already cover this
issue.
Marcel, please let me know if I can be of any help in debugging this
issue. I don't know Bluetooth worth squat, but I can patch, bisect, and
take orders very well. (I wish I could just mail you my headset and
adapter, but I currently need them as my main phone line.)

just set rootfstype *and* rootdelay.
unless some convincing info comes up, i'll close that bug away ;)
