Hmm. So it seems that there is something wrong with the dependency

the uapi files.

But I can't seem to recreate it even by trying to first build 3.18-rc2

not-very-straightforward going on, possibly including some nasty race
in the Makefiles.

The basically random build failure in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/22/164 might be related. Still makes no

Why would that controller influence the build?


No problems on 2 other boxes with GeForce 8600 GT] (rev a1)

I ran into this error twice, while building Fedora 21 kernel rpms for
v3.19-rc1 on my outdated ThinkPad X41 (which uses i915, for what it's
worth). The error made very little sense to me. Especially since it
didn't happen when building in the local git repository.

So I basically, well, scrubbed the rpmbuild environment. And then the
the third attempt to build kernels rpm succeeded! I assumed a hardware
failure (see outdated above) and made a mental note to investigate that
one of these days.

But your report makes me think it's not my hardware. Could there be some
_random_ failure with this driver in the build? Very odd...

A theory based on Mark's message in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/8/602 :

My two failed builds somehow used previous version of class.h, that
didn't yet have commit 1f89b4756fb8 ("drm/gm204/disp: initial support")
applied. It's that commit which added the define for
GM204_DISP_CORE_CHANNEL_DMA.

Is that even possible? Perhaps rpmbuild has a surprising way to handle
symlinks? All very puzzling...


Paul Bolle


I did a git pull up to 3.19-rc1 separately on the 3 boxes and used the 
.config from 3.18.0 as the base of make oldconfig.


When the build failed I did "make mrproper" and used the .config from 
one of the other boxes, then from the other, all 3 .config gave the same 
error.


Successfully rebooted one of the boxes.

If necessary I can go back to the GT 560 Ti to gather dmesg and Xorg log
information.

Having a dmesg would be nice. One thing I can think of off-hand is
that 3.13-rc has MSI turned on by default. You can turn it off by
adding "nouveau.config=NvMSI=0" to your kernel cmdline. If that
doesn't help, a bisect restricted to drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau should
show the offending commit fairly quickly.

Adding "nouveau.config=NvMSI=0" to the command line fixed the problem.
So it looks like commit 049ffa8ab33a63b3bff672d1a0ee6a35ad253fe8 
introduced it.

Thanks Ilia,

Just this minute when I tried it is now 3.9.0-rc4 but the strange thing 
is that it didn't say it was changing from rc3 to rc4 on any box, it 
silently changed Makefile.

If needed I can go back to the earlier 3.6.0-rc5 kernel and config to 
recreate the power off situation.
With the kernel that powered off, MCE was not set and 
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y


For the 3.6.0-rc5-u1 kernel only those 2 were changed.

Ok, can you catch the whole dmesg when you boot the machine _after_ the
sudden poweroff? You can send it to me and Andreas (on CC) privately if
you prefer.

Important: make sure the kernel has CONFIG_X86_MCE and
CONFIG_EDAC_DECODE_MCE built-in.

Please make sure to use a recent kernel, i.e. 3.4, 3.5 is fine.

Thanks.

Boots OK, but oopses with depmod on Virtualbox and other proprietary 
modules. I assume these modules are out of step with 2.6.24-rc1 and not 
a kernel problem.

I see the sam problem with 2.6.23-rc1-git5.

Freeing unused kernel memory: 236k freed
failed to execute /init
kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to
kernel

Copying /sbin/init to / results in the same error.

Please read chapter 4.1 and 4.5

It should be very simple

I had to do a fresh install of opeSUSE 10.3 Alpha6 to replace a failing 
drive. After that I again built 2.6.23-rc1-git10 which boots without 
problems. My guess is that something on the old hard drive got mangled. 
The old drive was PATA, the new one SATA, also disappeared have been the 
problems that suddenly appeared with sata_nv slow responses and timeouts 
with no devices installed and which I didn't see without the sata_nv 
module loaded.

Sid.

I don't know if this is any indication.
I have no SATA drives, but I noticed booting 2.6.22-git16 x86_64 I got 
error messages with "sata slow in responding" also "EH timeout" and my 
IDE drive /dev/sda1 giving ext3 errors, ending in a  filesystem not 
clean prompt. Did fsck.ext3 using openSUSE 10.3Alpha3 DVD, that fixed a 
string of wrong inode errors. Booted an earlier kernel and turned off 
loading the sata_nv module, then 2.6.22-git16 and later 2.6.22-git17 
booted without problems, so I put it down to a motherboard problem with 
the SATA.

Sid.

If it built with this version and this .config, something went wrong.

No further problems since the patch was applied. Currently running 
2.6.21-rc6-git7.

I'm a little confused at what I am seeing below.
Normally what happens is that after a kernel compile and test.  You call
"git-bisect bad" or "git-bisect good" and then git-bisect picks the next

you called git-bisect bad several times in a row without testing

I built and installed the kernel downloaded using "cg-clone", booted it 
up  and ran "git bisect bad".  I'm also somewhat confused as the first 
failing kernel is 2.6.20-git11, the Makefile says the kernel got with 
cg-clone is actually 2.6.21-rc4 and it built as  2.6.20-g208367ee.

I think I got your problem:

After rebooting, you do "git bisect [bad|good]"  *once*.

Then recompile the kernel from the current tree, reboot, and again
*once* "git bisect [bad|good]".

etc.

cu
Adrian

  
If I boot up on 2.6.20-git10 and run "git bisect bad", "git bisect good 
v2.6.20-git10" or "git bisect bad v2.6.20-git11", it says it's not a git 
repo.


I am still no clearer what's required.  If I do "cg-clone" I get 
2.6.21-rc5. The previous one got me 2.6.21-rc4.
The manpages and the tutorials I've looked at are quite cryptic and the 
commands do not produce the expected results.
As indicated above, I followed the instructions bullet by bullet without 
any clear understanding of the tools.
1) Ran the commands as above,cg-clone; git start; git bisect bad 
;git bisect good  I presume.

2) 2.6.20-git10 is the last good kernel.
3) 2.6.20-git11 and later are all bad.
4) I do cg-clone which gives a kernel whose Makefile is 2.6.21-rc4 (or 
whatever is current).
5) I get a kernel named 2.6.20-g208367e after make - rebooted and it 
fails the same way as 2.6.20-git11.

6) ran "git bisect bad".

Author: Roland Dreier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date:   Wed Feb 14 00:32:53 2007 -0800

   [PATCH] ia64: fix noncoherent DMA API so devres builds

   On ia64, drivers/base/dma-mapping.c doesn't build because it calls
   dma_alloc_noncoherent() and dma_free_noncoherent(), which appear to be
   terminally broken; the calls end up generating errors like

   drivers/base/dma-mapping.c: In function 'dmam_noncoherent_release':
   drivers/base/dma-mapping.c:32: error: 'struct ia64_machine_vector' has no
member named 'platform_dma_free_coherent'

   because the multiple levels of macro expansion in  and
end up turning a call to dma_free_noncoherent() into
   ia64_mv.platform_dma_free_coherent (instead of the intended
   ia64_mv.dma_free_coherent).

   This patch fixes this by converting dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent() into
   inline functions that call the corresponding coherent functions, instead of
   trying to do this with macros.

I tracked the problem down to 2.6.20-git11. Up to 2.6.20-git10 is OK, 
but from 2.6.20-git11 up to current 2.6.21-rc4-git2 all exhibit the problem.
  

Thanks for this search.

Looking at the changes between 2.6.20-git10 and 2.6.20-git11, the only 
suspicious changes are the 60 sysctl patches by Eric.


Eric, can you look at this issue?



git bisect between git10 (ac98695d6c1508b724f246f38ce57fb4e3cec356)
and git11 (86a71dbd3e81e8870d0f0e56b87875f57e58222b) is likely the most
productive thing that can be done right now.  


I can't think of anything in my sysctl patches that would kill an
application.  My sysctl work is right on the border with user space
so it is a good candidate but at the same time there should have
been no user visible changes.  There were a few places where
I removed sys_sysctl support (but not /proc/sys support) but I don't
think any of those were on x86, and they were is such a messed up
state I don't think anyone could have reasonably used them anyway.

So I think either we poke blindly making random guess by hand or
we let git-bisect do it.

Sid do you think you can figure out git-bisect?
git-bisect start
git-bisect bad 86a71dbd3e81e8870d0f0e56b87875f57e58222b
git-bisect good ac98695d6c1508b724f246f38ce57fb4e3cec356

It should narrow the problem down to a single commit in 6-8 tries
after which point we should have enough information to start
making intelligent guesses.

Try running an strace on kwin and reporting the result.


Modified /opt/kde3/bin/startkde as below, but got no output, not even 
an empty file.

strace -s 256 -f kwin --lock -o /home/lancelot/KWIN.out &


Perhaps that line is never executed.

Try running kwin from your konsole after it dies, with the strace of 
course. Oh, and put the '-o ...' before the kwin command, not after.





Oops!, above text should read the same as the subject line,  problems 
seen on 2.6.21-rc1 and 2.6.21-rc2.
The strace is huge 2737627 2007-03-02 03:28 KWIN.out.  Further digging 
shows kwin, kicker and klauncher and perhaps other kdeinit stuff also 
die - no desktop icons after those 3 are started from the commandline. 
Moving kdesktop_lock out of /opt/kde3/bin, everything comes back after 
the video is blanked -- no password required.
I shall run like that (2.6.21-rc2-git1 currently) and wait for openSUSE 
to upgrade to 2.6.21. I can send the straces of kicker and kwin on if 
you think it's still worth it.

Yes, known.  I really should get onto that

Currently you cannot have IPV6=m and SUNRPC=y.  All other combinations
should work.

NeilBrown


  

Fixed thanks, on x86 SUNRPC was =y and on x86_64 was =m.
Regards
Sid.

..same problem with 2.6.20-rc3. Last worked with 
2.6.19-rc6-git12, so it was 2.6.19 where it failed.




  
Attaching both case1 normal, case2 acpi=noirq. With acpi=noirq ethernet 
doesn't get configured, route -n says it's an Unsupported operation, 
ifconfig only shows for localhost, ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.5 also 
complains of a config error.



It seems that the "acpi=noirq" (and probably also the acpi=off) case
is simply an additional broken case, not a success case to compare to.

The thing we really want to compare is dmesg and /proc/interrupts
from 2.6.19-rc6-git12, and the broken current release.
Perhaps you can put that info in the bug report when you file it.

thanks,
-Len



  
2.6.19-rc6-git12 fails in exactly the same way, from /var/log/messages 
it seems 2.6.19-rc6 19/11/06 first saw the problem, details later when I 
boot 2.6.19-rc5.
If I boot an affected kernel with the SuSEfirewall2 enabled and then 
stop the firewall, the problems goes away.

Sid.

Everything is fine with a eepro100 on the 64x2 box that gave the same
problem with a nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller (rev a1)
using the forcedeth module. On the x86_64 laptop the problem is with a
Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5788 using the tg3 module. Switching back to a
2.6.18.2 kernel, there is no problem.
With all configurations of cards on both, route -n is the same on all
kernels and instantly reports back. With >=2.6.19 on the laptop, netstat
-r takes a very long time before returning the information ~30 seconds,
instantly on 2.6.18.2.


This could be a problem with DNS. Could you do all tests
(including pinging) with -n option?

I've read your other message on netdev and see you
have firewall working and addresses from various 
networks in logs. I think it would be much easier

to exclude possible network config errors and try
to isolate pinging problems by connecting (with
switch or even crossed cable if possible) only 2
boxes with firewalls and other net devices disabled
and try to repeat this pinging with tcpdumps.

Jarek P.



It seems >=2.6.19 and the SuSEfirewall are incompatible.

Turning off the firewall on the laptop cured the problem using 
2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc3. I thought it was off. On the 64x2 box, the 
firewall is turned off, so I shall have to reconfigure the network to 
use the Gigabit ethernet instead of the eepro100 in case I turned it off 
after seeing the bug on that box, but didn't stop the firewall.
There is still the problem where the ethernet doesn't get configured 
with acpi=off which I shall post to the acpi devel list, but this is not 
a showstopper for me. ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.5 returns SIOCSIFFLAGS: 
Function not implemented.

Thanks and Regards
Sid.

I think you should try with some linux networking group
at first and if you really think it's driver then
netdev@vger.kernel.org (instead of linux-kernel@).

If you could send full ifconfig, route -n (or ip route
if you use additional tables) and tcpdump (all packets)
from both boxes while pinging each other and a few words
how it is connected (other cards, other active boxes in
the network?) maybe something more could be found.

Everything is fine with a eepro100 on the 64x2 box that gave the same 
problem with a nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller (rev a1) 
using the forcedeth module. On the x86_64 laptop the problem is with a 
Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5788 using the tg3 module. Switching back to a 
2.6.18.2 kernel, there is no problem.
With all configurations of cards on both, route -n is the same on all 
kernels and instantly reports back. With >=2.6.19 on the laptop, netstat 
-r takes a very long time before returning the information ~30 seconds, 
instantly on 2.6.18.2.

RE: LaCie SilverScreen Runs Linux, But No Source

2005-04-03 Thread Sid Boyce
In their comapany blurb to investors, they also claim "in-house approach 
to R&D and design", "The design of most product components", including 
"control software". No mention is made of Linux and an equally hard rub, 
it's only supposed to talk to Windows and Mac.
Regards
Sid.

Strange italics with -ac kernels

2001-05-22 Thread Sid Boyce

In KDE and sometimes also seen in netscape, I get displays in italics
which I don't in any non-ac kernels. All KDE menus now show up in
discontinuous italics that are not really readable. I'm using
XFree86-4.0.3, KDE-2.1.1 and an NVidia 32Meg TNT2 M64 card, but I've had
the same with much earlier 2.4.x-ac kernels using a VOODO 3 card.
Any ideas ?

RE: No USB under 2.4.3 and 2.4.3-ac?

2001-04-08 Thread Sid Boyce

I found that the SuSE 7.1 install didn't put "usbdevfs" in /etc/fstab
on the Athlon, the PIII has broken USB port hardware.

This happens on a PIII/GigaByte 6BXE, Athlon 900/ABit KT7 and on a
friend's Cyrix M-II/333 with PC-Chips PC100 mobo and SIS chipset. The
PIII is a SuSE 6.4 base +, the others are SuSE 7.1 + modutils-2.4.5
and a few other bits.
During boot and "lsusb" ver 0.7 only show the on-board USB chip, it
does not see the outboard Hub or devices. lsusb on the PIII will also
show the on-board chip, on the other machines it returns blank.
We haven't yet tried USB as modules to see if it makes a difference.
