Bug#627372: [2.6.32 -> 2.6.38 regression] GM45: Console turns black during boot

2012-04-27 Thread AlanKim Zimmerman
Hi

I compiled both versions as per your instructions, and the behaviour is the
same each time.

I need to use setpci ... to get the screen backlight on.

Do you need any additional information?

Bug#670634: linux-image-2.6.32-5-686: SV266A with VIA KT266A: suspend to RAM not available

2012-04-27 Thread Paul Menzel
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-41squeeze2
Severity: normal

Dear Debian folks,


the option suspend to RAM is not available on the motherboard SV266A
with a VIA KT266A(?) chipset [1].

$ echo mem | sudo tee /sys/power/state
mem
tee: /sys/power/state: No such device
$ ls /sys/power/
diskimage_size  pm_test resume  state
$ ls /sys/power/state
/sys/power/state
$ sudo su
# echo mem > /sys/power/state
bash: echo: Schreibfehler: Kein passendes Gerät gefunden.

I looked around in the BIOS and the option *ACPI functions* is set to
*Enabled*. There is also an option *Suspend Mode* which I can set to
*Disable* or to a number of minutes. But I guess I do not want the BIOS
to suspend my system but using the operating system for that task.

Is Linux looking at the ACPI tables and they are wrong in this case? Can
I force suspend to RAM somehow to test it?


Thanks,

Paul

Ok, a few minutes ago I got aware of another system with the given
symptoms with a SandyBridge CPU (E3-1220) and the same CallTrace.


I'm now wondering what I could do to help to debug such issue
further?


All those Dell systems (R210 and R210 II) are equipped with DRAC
KVM cards. They expose the input of the KVM Java applet as USB
devices to the system. For at least one of the effected systems
I'm pretty sure that nobody tried to use the KVM applet while
that issue appearead but that doesn't mean anything.
External USB devices were not connected to the systems.

Kernel is linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64  2.6.32-38

Unfortunately it is hard to test newer versions, since the BIOS does not
allow to boot from an USB media.

I attach the output of `dmidecode` and `biosdecode` (Squeeze versions).
Although I am not sure if it will be useful or not.

What makes you think this is a kernel bug?  Does this work in other
operating systems or kernel versions on this same hardware?

[...]

ACPI is a broad interface with hundreds of features which the system
firmware (BIOS) can *optionally* support.  You should always enable
ACPI but it doesn't mean suspend to RAM will be possible.

No, there is no way to suspend to RAM on x86 without using ACPI
or (on old systems) APM.  If the system firmware doesn't tell the
kernel suspend to RAM is possible, then it isn't.

Yep, min_batch_time is being reported as max_batch_time for some
reason.  Fixed by v3.3-rc1~114^2^2~5 (ext4: Report max_batch_time
option correctly, 2012-01-04).

Thanks for a clear report,

Bug#669052: [regression 3.2.12 -> 3.2.14] r8169 driver not automatically loaded

Hmm, that looks ok.  Thanks.

Please attach output from:

* lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-1-amd64
* lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-2-amd64
* grep . /etc/modprobe.d/*

I'd also be interested in the result of the following procedure:

 1. Back up /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-1-amd64 for later analysis.
 2. update-initramfs -k 3.2.0-1-amd64 -u
 3. Try to boot 3.2.6-1.  Does it still load the r8169 module
automatically?

Ciao,
Jonathan

Package: linux-image-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686-bigmem
Version: 2.6.24-6~etchnhalf.5
Severity: important

File operations hang after a while on a raid5 MD array with XFS filesystem on 
it. XFS may be irrelevant. Default parameters were used, so 
/sys/block/md*/md/stripe_cache_size was not changed.
No error messages appear in dmesg or elsewhere, so a deadlock is suspected.

A patch exists: 
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.24-rc8/2.6.24-rc8-mm1/broken-out/md-fix-an-occasional-deadlock-in-raid5.patch.
The patch seems to appear (slightly modified) in the 2.6.26 (testing) kernel.
The patch, or the version that appears in 2.6.26 is reported to solve the 
problem (I can not yet confirm).

Increasing /sys/block/md*/md/stripe_cache_size to 4096 or 8192 is also reported 
to solve the problem (I can not yet confirm).

The stable 2.6.18 kernel is not affected, though raid5 speed benefits from 
increasing /sys/block/md*/md/stripe_cache_size (confirmed).

I use lenny/testing with a stable kernel.

The patch mentioned above is v2.6.25-rc1~542 (md: fix an occasional
deadlock in raid5, 2008-02-06).  Therefore closing, but confirmation
either way about the fix would be welcome.

Thanks for a pleasant report, and sorry we lost track of this.

Sincerely,
Jonathan
