[opensuse-factory] Kerneloops with kernel head repo and 11.2 system
Hello,
I'm running an 11.2 system with the kernel from
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_11.2/
The kernel oopses very early in the boot process. The problem has been
there for 2-3 weeks (sorry for being that imprecise and late, but I've
been very busy for the last weeks).
There was a problem with HEAD a few months ago that looked similar and
IIRC was some interaction between kernel and boot process in initrd.
Is that problem back?
Thanks
Joerg

We need an oops report to be able to guess. Care to just file a bug? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I can create a photograph with a lousy mobile phone cam of a screen 80x24
(or whatever the normal vga resolution is). Does that really help? If not,
how do I proceed to get something useable? If you let me know, I'll create
a bug with some more details and the photo (or whatever).
Thanks

Or do what I do: get a serial port crossover cable, connect to a second PC and use kernel option "console=ttyS0,19200n8" on the problem machine. Tweak the port and/or rate if required. On the second PC use minicom (Linux) or Putty (Windoze) (all recent version support serial ports) and log to file.

Sigh, I don't have my cable with me, so I have to wait for the weekend to transfer the pictures/open the bug.

The laptop doesn't have a serial port. Should I be able to use usb to
serial converter?
Thanks

For an oops, no, it will not work. You need interrupts to get USB to work properly, and a usb-to-serial console device needs interrupts to get the console data out. Oh, and the usb-to-serial-console code was written as a drunken bet one night, don't rely on it always working properly. It has gotten a lot better recently, but there are still some issues for some devices with it. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I found netconsole on ethernet can work quite well in such cases (using this sometimes on my headless servers). It sends kernel log over UDP/IP. You need to give it the MAC addr of the receiving host on your LAN because it can not do ARP. http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt -- Bernhard M.

OK, I had some time and copied the oops in shortened form to paper and
then into bugzilla:

If need be, I can still attach the pictures of the oops on saturday.

I will do that once I have better (aka not-pay-per-volume) internet
connectivity. I assumeed that 2.6.35rcX would be newer than some
2.6.34 kernel, but that assumption seems to hold only within the
same repo.
Thanks!

Just tested it and it worked OK (well, as OK as a 11.3 kernel will work
on a 11.2 opensuse with a too old mkinitrd etc). Now all I have to is
to wait for Kernel:/HEAD/ to pick up the changes.
Thanks!

Hello,
I'm running an 11.2 system with the kernel from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_11.2/ The kernel oopses very early in the boot process. The problem has been there for 2-3 weeks (sorry for being that imprecise and late, but I've been very busy for the last weeks).
Whne did you do the last update? There was a problem with hte DSDT-in-initrd code fixed a few days ago, which was introduced at Jun 03. Maybe it's simply fixed with the latest HEAD kernel? -- Stefan Seyfried "Any ideas, John?"
