[PATCH 1/4] kernel hooks: Treat missing version argument as an error

2011-03-04 Thread Ben Hutchings 
The version argument is mandatory and we should complain if some package
doesn't pass it rather than quietly failing to do our job.

However, making package removal fail is generally unhelpful, so
continue to return 0 from the postrm hook.

[PATCH 2/4] kernel hooks: Enable error-exit (sh -e)

2011-03-04 Thread Ben Hutchings 
We should not continue after a command unexpectedly fails.

Change the $INITRD test so that failure is not treated as unexpected.

Bug#616431: option_instat_callback: error -84 with MSA110UP 3G modem and usb-modeswitch

2011-03-04 Thread Sergio Junior 
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-30
Severity: normal

Hello,

I'm using MSA110P 3G modem with usb-modeswitch (if I don't, the devices are not 
created). So I have 4 devices, as you can see in kernel.log

The only configuration I've made in usb-modeswitch is:
- Edited /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/19d2\:2000, adding 0091 to 
'TargetProductList

I'm also using wvdial to connect.

The problem, as you can see in kernel.log, is that after some time (minutes or 
hours), I receive ten "option: option_instat_callback: error -84" and my 
devices are disconnected.

Thanks in advance.

Oddly enough, this code did build in the official packages!  May be a
bug in binutils (#616357).

[PATCH 3/4] update-initramfs: Depend on kernel hook scripts rather than $ramdisk invocation

2011-03-04 Thread Ben Hutchings 
Official Debian and Ubuntu kernel packages will invoke us directly as
part of the $ramdisk handling inherited from kernel-package.  They
will later run our hook script, as will custom packages made with
'make-kpkg' or the upstream 'make deb-pkg'.

Currently, for official packages we perform an update on the first
invocation (possibly deferred using dpkg triggers) and then ignore the
second.  However, the long-term plan is to remove that first
invocation.  Therefore, ignore the first invocation and perform the
update on the second.

[PATCH 4/4] update-initramfs: Remove support for 'do_bootloader' and specific boot loaders

2011-03-04 Thread Ben Hutchings 
elilo, lilo, and zipl all install post-update hooks for us, so we
don't need call them specifically.  Unfortunately, flash-kernel does
not yet, so keep that for a little longer.

Add 'breaks' relations to the versions of these packages that do not
install post-update hooks.

Yes, it is related to #616357 (and official packages are affected just 
as well, if built with the new binutils).

Patch needed for 2.6.37 and 2.6.38-rc7(-git2):
- 
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/hjl/linux-2.6.37.y.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=2c5ce9c1b8eb927c131a31d4466e24e00647e9cb

Patch only needed for 2.6.38-rc7(-git2), in addition to the one above:
- https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/606241/

Bug#616334: already reported to kernel.org

2011-03-04 Thread Thomas Koch 
found this bug reported already:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29162

also discussed here
http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/47b82ab31ae4a056/62b9059817eafb39

The reporter also mentions, that the deadlock is triggered by KMail, as it was 
on my machine at least once.

Time to reinstall and finally get rid of reiserfs. :-)

Bug#616441: linux-image-2.6.32-5-xen-686: NETDEV WATCHDOG: usb0 (cdc_subset): transmit queue 0 timed out

2011-03-04 Thread Ferenc Wagner 
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-30
Severity: minor

Hi,

usb0 is a "crosslink" between two such machines for heartbeat purposes.
The below warning appeared when the node on the other end was executing
a reboot, right after its heartbeat process (reading/writing the other
end of the crosslink) shut down.  It does not happen on each such event,
though, so I can't readily reproduce it, but if may be feasible if
somebody knows what and how to press.  It hasn't got any obvious adverse
effect on the operation of the machines.

Thanks,
Feri.

well KDE is so badly programmed that it doesn't work anywhere else
as on ext3 fs (google ext4 and kde for fun). better switch desktop
env too.

This is quite possibly a hardware bug.  Does the driver successfully
recover after this warning?

You may find it easier to reproduce if you use the packet generator to
send a lot of traffic from machine 1 to machine 2 and the shut down
machine 2.  If that works to reproduce it then the next step would be
to test a more recent kernel version to find out whether it has been
fixed already.

If you cannot find a reliable reproducer, I'm afraid this is unlikely
to be fixed.

Ben.

That's the "pktgen" module which is documented at

Bug#611493: Workaround

2011-03-04 Thread Pascal BERNARD 
By adding rootdelay=20 on the command line, the problem does not show.
It is not very satisfying though, since the casual user will not dive
into the initrd to read the script init and see that you can set this
variable on the command line.

Is there no event that can be caught once all devices have been
registered ?

Re: xserver-xorg-video-radeon:screen goes black, system hangs after 2sec:[youtube(FF/Opera)-reset req.]

2011-03-04 Thread Faidon Liambotis 
severity 616301 critical
thanks

My system locks up whenever I click on a YouTube video link since
yesterday. I can probably live without YouTube :), but in any case this
shouldn't happen.

This isn't a singled out case nor in exotic, possibly faulty, hardware.
It's on a standard 1½-year old Dell OptiPlex 780 desktop with a Radeon
HD card (one of the standard configurations) and this is on a stock
squeeze system.

The findings so far seem to suggest this is a Mesa issue; I'd probably
file it under "Linux kernel bugs" (or even DoS bugs) but I'm not sure
where to properly file such bugs in the post-KMS stack world.

Regards,
Faidon

Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.36~rc5-1~experimental.1
Severity: wishlist


I'm using this system as a stratum-1 NTP server, synced to a PPS-enabled
GPS. However, the Debian-provided kernels don't have the PPS line
discipline enabled, which prevents the PPS API from seeing the PPS
events. Please enable this config option (which was first added in
2.6.34-rc2), which enables processing PPS events from the DCD line of
serial ports. This option only depends on the CONFIG_PPS option, which
is enabled in the global config file.

No, in general there is no such thing as 'once all devices have been
registered'.  For example USB enumeration is totally asynchronous.

Don't assign kernel bugs to the metapackage.  You want linux-2.6.

Bug#614515: Link with powertop

2011-03-04 Thread Raphael Plasson 

Hi,

I think that there may be a link between the kernel crashes I reported 
earlier and some tunings with powertop. In powertop there are some 
parameters that can be modified for decreasing the laptop power 
consumption. Namely, I adjust parameters so that everything is reported 
as "good" in the "tunable" powertop tab (this indeed somehow decrease 
the power consumption reported by my laptop). These parameters are 
"wireless power saving", "Enable  Audio codec power management", "Enable 
SATA link power management", "VM writeback timeout", and  "Runtime PM" 
for several PCI Devices.


I made some tests with the last SID kernel. If I do not tune anything, 
the system remained totally stable for several days. Then I tried some 
different tuning. It appeared that the kernel crashed when returning 
from suspend to RAM immediately  after that the "VM writeback timeout" 
was activated (i.e. switched on "good" in powertop), and only this one. 
So the problem may comes from this. I say "may", because it is difficult 
to be sure: the crash occurs quite randomly, and is not 100% reproducible.


I hope this can help someone to identify the bug. Other people 
experiencing similar crashes may try to look at these powertop tunings 
for confirming/infirming this claim (and eventually for solving their 
problem, at least temporarily).

Huh?

The comment in alsa's file is still misleading. You're a bit quick in
reassigning the problem I think.
