Bug#405270: machine hangs after loading ipw3945d

2007-02-06 Thread Michael Setzer
Hi there,

 I just wanted to check whether you had better luck using
 ipw3945/ipw3945d with newer versions of the kernel and/or driver. Does
 the daemon still hang when kill switch is on?

Yes - I'm sorry but I must report that the deamon still hangs with the kill 
switch turned on.

I just tested with linux-image-2.6.18-4-686 (2.6.18.dfsg.1-10), 
ipw3945-modules-2.6.18-4-686 (2.6.18+1.1.3-4) and ipw3945d (1.7.22-3).

Thanks for keeping an eye upon this issue!

Best wishes,

Michael

Bug#405270: machine hangs after loading ipw3945d

2007-01-08 Thread Michael Setzer
Hi there,

 version 1.1.3 of ipw3945 was uploaded to unstable in the last days, if
 you're 'still' using the old one, please upgrade and try again. if not,
 are you using 2.6.18 or someting newer?

I already upgraded to 1.1.3 before reporting. Here is the list of installed 
package versions:

ii  firmware-ipw3945 0.3Binary firmware for IPW3945
ii  ipw3945-modules-2.6.18-3-686 2.6.18+1.1.3-3 Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG 
(ipw3945) driver
ii  ipw3945-source   1.1.3-2Source for the Intel 
PRO/Wireless 3945ABG (i
ii  ipw3945d 1.7.22-3   Binary userspace regulatory 
daemon for Intel

Yes, there is kernel 2.8.16 running on my laptop:

Linux orthanc 2.6.18-3-686 #1 SMP Sun Dec 10 19:37:06 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux

 indepentent of that, the solved softlock thing was not kill-switch
 related but to newer kernel versions than 2.6.18.

I see, maybe I should wait for 2.6.19 appearing in Sid. ;)

 with a previous version of the regulatory daemon end of the summer, i
 had some similar issues as you described them with the kill switch too
 on my x60. additionally, when switching the kill-switch rapidly on and
 off while doing a network restart, the whole machine occasionally
 freezed. both phenomenons are, funnily, no longer occuring with ipw3945d
 of current sid.

Strange, beacuse I'm running the actual package which is available in Sid.

Regards, Michael

2007-01-05 Thread Michael Setzer
Jurij,

 The problems you're experiencing sound suspiciously similar to the
 Debian's bug #405109 [0], aka upstream bug #1096 [1]. It should be
 fixed in the latest version of the ipw3945 driver, I'm CC'ing the
 maintainer to see if he might have any insights.

 [0] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=405109
 [1] http://bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1096

Even if I don't see any soft lockup messages on the console or in my 
syslog/bootlog I agree with you that waiting for the next driver/daemon 
release is a good idea. :)

Thanks,

Michael

Bug#405270: AW: machine hangs after loading ipw3945d

2007-01-04 Thread Michael Setzer
Jurij,

after changing the sleeptime for up to 30 seconds I must say that it doesn't
work for me either. The /etc/init.d/ipw3945d script exits normally (return
code 0) but the script (/etc/init.d/networking) refuses to continue.

Regards,

Michael

Hi Michael,

This issue has been reported privately, however the person who 
experienced the problems with booting with kill switch on later 
mentioned that 1.7.22-3 works ok for him. It is most likely some
timing issue, please try increasing the delay after the daemon is 
started by looking for a line 'sleep 3' in /etc/init.d/ipw3945d
and changing the number (delay in seconds) to something larger to see 
if it helps.

Best regards,

Bug#343048: linux-image-2.6.14-2-686: ide fails to initialize, fails to boot

2005-12-28 Thread Michael Setzer
 Updated today to linux-image-2.6.14-2-686 2.6.14-6 and it booted without
 problems. DMA working and everything aparently back to normality.

Same over here. Upgrading the Kernel without a modified /etc/yaird/Default.cfg 
leads to a properly running system.

Even after the latest yaird update (0.0.12-2) and another dpkg-reconfigure 
linux-image-2.6.14-2-686 everything runs fine.

Thanks a lot!

Bug#343048: linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7: happens on 2.6.14-2-k7 too

2005-12-15 Thread Michael Setzer
Package: linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7
Version: 2.6.14-5
Followup-For: Bug #343048

Hi,

just to add some more (maybe helpful) information:

I just upgraded the kernel on my AMD machine and had the same problems.
Adding the modules amd74xx, ide-generic and ide-disk to the
/etc/yaird/Default.cfg and rebuilding the kernel fixed the problem. My
machine is now bootable again (I'm writing this additional information
with it right now ;).

Regards,

Michael

Bug#343048: linux-image-2.6.14-2-686: no need to install initramfs-tools (but piix not loaded)

2005-12-13 Thread Michael Setzer
   Yes, I added it to the title after finding out :).  Michael Setzer
   wrote, that adding
 MODULE ide-generic
 MODULE ide-disk
   to /etc/yaird/Default.cfg makes it work.  I could boot with that, but
   DMA was disabled.  I found out that manually adding piix reenables DMA
   for me, so I meant yes it works, no need to install initramfs-tools,
   but piix is not loaded and that disables my DMA.
 
  What about addign only piix, and not the others ? Will this work ?

 Unfortunately I do not have time to reboot and test that right now but
 yaird output looks promising, thanks for the hint Sven:

Now I gave it another try and added

MODULE piix
MODULE ide-generic
MODULE ide-disk

to the /etc/yaird/Default.cfg. After reconfiguring the 
linux-image-2.6.14-2-686 and rebooting I have DMA reenabled.

Using only MODULE piix in the /etc/yaird/Default.cfg results in an 
unbootable system. Too bad that this machine is not accessible to me right 
now, so my testing time is over for now. :)

Hi,

after being knocked down with the same problem which left my system in
an unbootable state I wondered if it wasn't possible to bring the system
back to life without removing yaird. This is what I simply did:

- boot system with KNOPPIX
- mount the root partition
- remount the /dev into the root partition
- chroot into your root partition
- mount /proc
- mount /sys
- edit /etc/yaird/Default.cfg and add
MODULE ide-generic
MODULE ide-disk
  right after the MODULE evdev line
- dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.14-2-686
- umount /sys
- umount /proc
- leave chroot'ed partition and umount it

And right after a reboot your system is usable again. :)
