Agreed, I'm going to drop the smp flavour in 2.6.17-10.

Same for me, none of my alphas have more than one processor.

Note that this will increase the size of the resultant image by ~8k,
is that within bounds for d-i? Can we get away with just enabling this
on the 686[-pae] subarchs (and do we care to)? I assume that this is
the appropriate kernel for all existing/planned i386/EFI systems, but
that would mean d-i would need to use this flavor for the install
kernel.

It would be nice if #381951 could be considered for inclusion.

It might be worth dropping MAX_CPUS down from 64 to 4 to see if this
goes away - I don't know what would be eating all the memory, but this
might reduce it.

Then again, maybe nobse's fix worked out...

The alpha smp kernel didn't work in sarge either.  I would suggest dropping
this flavor until someone steps up to maintain it.  My alphas have always
been UP, so I have no interest in it myself.

This is a baseless ultimatum; the kernels on alpha are as in as good of
shape as at any time in the etch release cycle.

Preparing 2.6.17-7

2006-08-20 Thread Frederik Schueler
Hello,

the next 2.6.17 upload, version 2.6.17-7 should become a candidate for
testing.

I would like to schedule the upload for Wednesday, Aug. 23.

amd64 and i386 will go through NEW again, due to the added xen images.


we have 4 RC bugs left, of which 2 need immediate attention: 

#342246: [ia64 headers] arch/ia64/modules.lds: No such file or directory
#369517: linux-image-2.6.16-1-alpha-smp: undefined scsi symbols; fails
to allocate percpu data

The other two RC bugs concern firmware, and will be addressed after a
solution for the firmware issue has been found.

Unfortunately, alpha seems rather unmaintained lately. We cannot support
it anymore this way, and may remove it in a future upload.


As usual, if more time is needed for anything pending, we will of course
reschedule. 

Best regards
Frederik Schueler
