I'd suggest talking to the associated vendors to see if they can test the change across their supported hardware. Individual fixes for individual bugs are easier as they can often be more easily tested. Things like adding PCI IDs with possibly additional code that only executes for those IDs are pretty low-risk. Major driver rework that we cannot easily test will likely need to wait for etch & 1/2 (as already noted). -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I also wonder if all reporters mean the same thing when they say it "doesn't work"? The original reporter was complaining that neither driver claimed the card - that's no longer the case.

I could try to schedule downtime, but It could take some time. However, I can say that on my NetRaid 2/M and Megaraid Express 500 (that is, the ones having the problem here), the -mbox driver claimed the card. The symptoms where timeouts (60 seconds) when initialisation commands where issued to the controller, happening a few times, and eventually the initramfs image would give a shell.

I've modified the patch to also blacklist these controllers in the megaraid_mbox driver to avoid an overlap.

Have you verified that this fix works in 2.6.18? It seems like its adding support for megaraid3s w/ specific subsystem devices, while 2.6.18 (and current upstream) claim megaraid3 devices w/ *any* subsystem ids. (Although there does appear to be code to explicitly not claim some cards w/ intel vendor ids). -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Those are many changes, but also many new boxes require those new drivers: obviously most nvidia based athlon and opteron boards, and many xeon board (supermicro, tyan). What is the chance to get these drivers, backported from 2.6.22 or .23 into stable? I know we most fear regressions here, how extensive must the tests be to "get it in"? I would think the chance is rather big to include it in the etch and a half kernel... Up to now we were only talking about regressions...

By policy, all patches we apply beyond the obvious Debian stuff, XEN and vserver must be backports, read they must go through the upstream quality assurance, and if they got accepted upstream, we can consider applying them on the current Debian kernel. For this special case, the issue is open since sarge, and the patch was either NACKed upstream, or never submitted, I don't remember. However, in the first case we won't apply it in it's current state, it needs to be fixed so upstream accepts it. If it was never submitted, this should be done now, and we will happily apply it as soon as it got blessed. Best regards Frederik Schüler -- ENOSIG signature.asc Description: Digital signature

It moves devices between two different drivers, which obviously are not compatible. Both megaraid drivers looks not really good maintained.

Me too thinks not fixing this bug in stable is a violation of the social contract: "..our priorities are our users and free software...", not free software alone. Anyway, as I'm somehow still a member of the kernel-team ;-) I guess I could work on the needed patch against the version for proposed updates, if there is still time to do so.

[stable] kernel upload to p-u
hey, I think we're nearly ready for a kernel upload to proposed-updates. Here's the current list of changes queued for a stable upload. I've reverted the forcedeth changes for #439219 until we get some testers for them. The last thing I'm waiting for is some final feedback about a backported fix for the intel_agp regression in #438458. After the merge of the last security upload, this has been the biggest blocker imo since it fixes a regression introduced in r1. linux-2.6 (2.6.18.dfsg.1-14) UNRELEASED; urgency=high [ dann frazier ] * [bluetooth] Fix panic caused by race between RFCOMM socket layer and RFCOMM TTY layer. Thanks to Mikko Rapeli. (closes: #394742) * Add support for AMD/ATI SB700 hardware, see #429622 * Add pci ids for Intel ICH9 controllers, see #435877 * [hppa] remove misuse of global_ack_eiem, fixing a race condition that resulted in frequent lockups on SMP systems. See: #435878 [ Frederik Schler ] * Add support for 3ware 9650SE controllers. (closes: #402562) [ dann frazier ] * bugfix/reset-pdeathsig-on-suid-upstream.patch Update fix for CVE-2007-3848 with the patch accepted upstream * Fix ipv6 rfc conformance issue introduced in 2.6.18.dfsg.1-13 by the fix for CVE-2007-2242. Thanks to Brian Haley for the patch. (closes: #440127) * Fix a minor denial of service issue that allows local users to disable an interrupt by causing an interrupt handler to be quickly inserted/removed. This has only been shown to happen with certain serial devices so can only be triggered by a user who already has additional priveleges (dialout group).
