Re: [devuan-dev] why is the build so complex ?

2018-12-14 Thread Nico Schottelius


Hey mtx,

would ungleich providing a beefy(*) VM for kernel builds make your life
easier or more productive for Devuan?

If so, we might be very open for sponsoring.

Best,

Nico

Bug#522922: Intel NIC 82576 not detected (8086:10c9)

2009-04-07 Thread Nico Schottelius
Package: linux-image-2.6-amd64
Version: 2.6.26+17
Severity: important

Hello!

I'm trying to install Debian on a Dual quadcore nehalem box
(supermicro X8DTT-IBX/IBQ) with an Intel 82576 Gigabit ET Dual
Port Server Adapter (8086:10c9) nic.

Current kernels from kernel.org support this nic, Debian's
2.6.26-1 on lenny and squezze installation medium do not.

Manually loading ixgbe does not help either.

Sincerly,

Nico

Build problems on Squeeze

2009-03-17 Thread Nico Schottelius
Hello!

I've two identical Lenovo X200 here, one with Debian Lenny,
one with Debian Squezze.

For some days, all kernels built on the squezze machine
instantly reboot at (about half a second after loaded by grub)
bootup.

I'm using identical version of the kernels (wireless-testing,
linux-2.6, linux-next) and configurations [0] on both machines.

Thread on LKML is http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/13/395.

Anyone an idea, what may be broken or did you see the same
problems?

Sincerly,

Nico

Bug#512504: LVM with Megaraid not detected due to wrong module load order

2009-01-21 Thread Nico Schottelius
Package: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686
Version: 2.6.24-7
Severity: important

After installing lenny with netinstall beta2 to a megaraid (dell pe6600)
disk array using debians default LVM partition type the system is unusable
after bootup.

I think the error is in the load order of the modules: LVM volumes are
checked before the scsi driver for megaraid is loaded.
