Bug#584881: Lockups under heavy disk IO; md (RAID) resync/check implicated

2010-06-21 Thread Ian Jackson
Ben Hutchings writes (Re: Bug#584881: Lockups under heavy disk IO; md (RAID) 
resync/check implicated):
 We really need to see the kernel messages reporting soft-lockup.

There aren't any.  Or, if there are, it isn't printing them to the
serial console.  Perhaps it is trying to send them only to syslogd
which obviously can't write to the disk either.

I know that the serial console is working after the crash as it echoes
my first carriage return (although then login or the shell wedges
before being able to print a prompt).  I could have asked for a magic
sysrq process dump but given that the process table is probably full I
expect this would take many hours at 9600bps.

 Note that your disk configuration is unusual and probably not
 well-tested by others.  It is unlikely that anyone in the kernel team
 will be able to debug this as I don't think any of us have particular
 expertise in this area.

Search the web suggests that symptoms very similar to mine are not
uncommon, including instances without soft lockup messages, and none
of the other users seem to have a similar disk layout.

I can't easily test this theory but I think the unusual disk layout is
probably simply making a race easier to trigger.

  If you have the opportunity, it would be
 helpful if you could test a newer kernel version.  This would give us a
 clue as to whether the bug has subsequently been fixed upstream, and if
 not then it would be the basis for an upstream bug report.

Unfortunately testing this bug on the live system involves (a) risking
a crash and then if the test fails (b) an extremely vulnerable system
without backups for the following four days.

I'll see if I can borrow a spare R210 from Jump, in which case I may
be able to reproduce the problem in controlled conditions on my coffee
table at home (and with access to the VGA console).  Which kernel
should I test in that case ?

Ian.

We switched from IDE drivers to libata-based drivers in 2.6.32-10.  My

Bug#586494: linux-image-2.6.26-2-686: Dell PowerEdge 4200's don't work with 2.6.26

2010-06-21 Thread trouble daemon
Ben,

 Another option that may be worth trying is 'noapic'.

Wow, that worked just fine actually on 2.6.26 stock kernel. Thanks a lot!

I am curious though, what in the world changed since 2.6.18 and lower
versions that might have required noapic? I've seen the option needed
by so many people on many occasions, but I've never needed it until
now. Any ideas? BTW, I also attached the dmesg for 2.6.26 working just
for reference to anyone else who might stumble upon this bug, and for
your curiosity as well.

 You need to get the corresponding linux-base package from testing or
 experimental, but the other dependencies should be satisfiable in lenny.

FWIW, I did try grab linux-base too, but it then wanted to pull in a
bunch of other packages to do with perl and stuff, so I just opted to
recompile using the config and the source package and backport it
manually with less hassle (assuming 5 hour compiles are less hassle
lol).

Also, I did try 2.6.32 from squeeze (after removing the lguest
makefile line stopping the compile) and the vanilla 2.6.34 (after a
UTS issue that involved tweaking /linux/ path to /generated/) kernel
with noapic, and everything worked flawlessly. A shame it took an hour
to hand configure 2.6.34 though, but at least I know to disable apic
now.

Anyways, thank you Obi-Wan Kenobi, errr, old Ben Kenobi ;)

Bug#584549: linux-2.6: please enable CONFIG_IP_VS_IPV6

2010-06-21 Thread Ferenc Wagner
Hi,

netdev wasn't particularly interested, but Julius Volz, the author of
this code directed me to the lvs-users mailing list.  Nobody reported
any problem since then, but I got a success report, see
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/163055/focus=11035

I also got a personal reply from Rob Gallagher.  Quoting him:

 From: Rob Gallagher robert.gallag...@heanet.ie
 Subject: Re: Is CONFIG_IP_VS_IPV6 still/really dangerous?
 To: Ferenc Wagner wf...@niif.hu
 Cc: Julius Volz juli...@google.com
 Date: Thu, 17 Jun 2010 15:56:53 +0100

 We've been using IPVS with IPv6 on our mirror site, ftp.heanet.ie, for
 nearly a year now.

 The only major issue we encountered was with mtu discovery for some
 users on IPv6 tunnels, however this was quickly resolved with a patch
 from Julius that has since gone into the mainline kernel.

The referenced patch is commit 94b26551: IPVS: Add handling of incoming
ICMPV6 messages, which is seems to be already present in the Sid kernel.

Based on the above, I don't think there are known problems with this
option.  While it's untested on the wider scale, it seems to work for
those using it.  Please consider enabling it, or tell me how I could
help researching this further.

Feri.

 Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686
 Version: 2.6.26-4
 Severity: normal

 When I run alsamixer, I can see a master channel, but it has no volume 
 slider.
 It's possible to mute the master but it has no effect (sound keeps playing).

 The PCM channel does control the volume, but it is not mutable (the m key
 doesn't do anything).

 Any gui mixer application fails to correctly work in this situation. Muting
 using shortcuts doesn't work, as the only way it could work is by setting
 the volume to 0%, not by actually muting.

 Somehow this problem does not exist in Ubuntu, I don't know how they fixed 
 it.
 
 Sorry for the late response :-/

Also sorry about my late response ;)

 The next release of Debian (6.0, code name Squeeze) will be based
 on 2.6.32. Please test the current 2.6.32 from unstable/testing and tell
 us whether the problem persists. If so, we should report it upstream
 to the kernel.org developers.

I installed linux-image-2.6.32-bpo.5-686 (version 2.6.32-15~bpo50+1) on
my Debian Lenny laptop. After rebooting sound was no longer working.
Beeping however still continued to work.

With sound no longer working I mean I couldn't get any sound player to
produce sound. They appeared to be working fine, the progress bar etc
advances, but no sound was coming from my speakers.

Using alsamixer I double checked that everything was un-muted and volume
was set high enough.

But relating to the original question, is the bug about unmutable PCM
channel gone in the new kernel: NO. Using alsamixer, again I saw a
mutable master and an un-mutable PCM channel. I couldn't test whether or
not muting the master channel actually mutes the sound now, as no sound
was coming from my speakers in any case :)

Alexander

Bug#586554: initramfs-tools fails to upgrade from 0.96.1 to 0.97

2010-06-21 Thread Michael Prokop
* Michael Prokop m...@debian.org [Mon Jun 21, 2010 at 01:22:01PM +0200]:
 * thebickhams thebickh...@ntlworld.com [Mon Jun 21, 2010 at 12:11:12PM 
 +0100]:

  Still won't update. I note three other people have reported the issue in  
  the sidux forums; both 32bit and 64bit.

 Please provide output of:

   apt-get --download-only --reinstall --print-uris install 
 2.6.34-0.slh.9-sidux-amd64

 so I can grab the kernel version on try to reproduce it on my own.

Of course I meant linux-image-2.6.34-0.slh.9-sidux-amd64 - I've
written with thebickhams via PM.

I can't reproduce the problem with the -686 flavour from
ftp://ftp.spline.de/pub/sidux/debian/pool/main/l/linux-sidux-2.6/
yet.

Bug#582177: grub-pc: system with RAID CRYPTO; tested initramfs-tools under bug #582177

2010-06-21 Thread cropper
More information:

Smoke-tested system with most recent version of grub-pc and grub-common from 
sid (versions 1.98+20100617-1 and 1.98+20100617-1) and all recent updates for 
Squeeze.  Sorry for the delay, I had to backup everything to the moon before I 
could do this... ;-)

During the execution of update-grub an error message was posted with the NEW 
kernel (2.6.32-5-amd64) with the OLD grub:
paraphrased... cannot identify / (is /dev mounted?)

After updating OLD grub to version 1.98+20100617-1 and executing update-grub, 
the above error message disappeared.

However, when I booted the machine, I cannot load the NEW kernel (2.6.32-5-
amd64) at all... 
error message: error: you need to load the kernel first
Press any key to continue... and the grub menu reappears...
...but now I CAN load the initramfs image for the old kernel (2.6.32-3-amd64) 
that was the original problem.  Repeat: I do NOT need to load the initramfs 
backup image now.

The above acts identically with and without the firewire device attached.

I am still using the 0.96.1 version of initramfs-tools.

A way to get 2.6.33 or 34 (or head)?

2010-06-21 Thread Jeff Carr
Is there a way to pull down newer versions of the kernels? I put sid
on a new laptop, but the wireless is flaky. It's of course worth
trying newer kernels with something like this. I'd try the stock deb
packages if there was a apt repository for them.

Second of all, enable experimental, aptitude update, aptitude -t

Bug#585790: linux-image-2.6.32-5-kirkwood: Oops in mv_cesa

2010-06-21 Thread Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
* Martin Michlmayr | 2010-06-20 14:26:22 [+0100]:

 The patches until 0328ac267 to 15d4dd3 are probably required.

All of these changes seem pretty self-contained, so I'd like to go
ahead and apply all of them to Debian's 2.6.32 package.  Do you see
any problems with this?

No I don't, you should be able to take them. I could test the debian
kernel with those patches on-top if you want me to.

Yeah, I didn't want to go to far into design detail, but if you

think we should add it to our todolist.

  but rc admin should be smart enough to kick rc once the real is out.
 
 
 So the issue is that it updates the newest kernel, not the running
 kernel if that is different.

please explain why it should update the running one?

this makes zero sense for the most usual case of newer
linux-2.6 installed but not yet rebooted.

That's the problematic package (thanks to devil + Carpenter from

sudo apt-get --purge remove iscan will get rid of it and the
problem will disappear.

The iscan package isn't shipped nor distributed via Debian, so this
isn't a valid bug report for us anymore. But I'll keep this
bugreport open until we have verified that the failing hooks like
the one from iscan are listed during (failed) upgrades. In the
