[opensuse-kernel] 11.2 kabi vs. PM / yenta fix
by Michal Marek 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hi, I added the kabi files from the 11.2 goldmaster kernel to the repository, so from now on, every kabi change will be caught by the build-time checks. Unfortunately there were already some changes in the repo that did change the kabi signatures: patches.drivers/alsa-hda-reboot-notify, already reverted by Takashi, "dm snapshot: use unsigned integer chunk size" and "PM / yenta: Split resume into early and late parts (rev. 4)", both came via the 2.6.31.6 update. I reverted the latter two for now, so that the builds don't start failing suddenly, but I guess that's not the right option esp. for the yenta fix. Rafael, you wrote the patch, can you comment here? The problem is the new member in struct pcmci_socket. Can we * just ignore this change (in worst case, some drivers will need a rebuild for the next kernel update) * hide the change from genksyms (do external drivers ever need to allocate the structure themselves?) * revert the fix (probably not) * work around it, e.g. make use of some of the reserved bitfields in the struct instead of adding a new member? ? Thanks, Michal (*) http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.31.y.git;a=commi… and http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.31.y.git;a=commi… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] Nasty DRM crash
by Werner LEMBERG 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

[2.6.32-rc5-git3-1-pae #1 SMP 2009-11-03 15:41:35 +0100 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux] The first time ever I got a crash like this, as reported in the `/var/log/messages' file: [drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung render error detected, EIR: 0x00000000 i915: Waking up sleeping processes reboot required [drm:i915_wait_request] *ERROR* i915_wait_request returns -5 (awaiting 7165557 at 7165513) [drm:i915_gem_execbuffer] *ERROR* Execbuf while wedged [drm:i915_gem_execbuffer] *ERROR* Execbuf while wedged [drm:i915_gem_execbuffer] *ERROR* Execbuf while wedged ... Well, it wasn't a real crash, but I was only able to move the mouse; any keypress just caused massive grinding of the hard disk and nothing else. Is this a known problem? I'm using an Intel 945GM graphics card built into a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop.

[opensuse-kernel] kabi change in patches.drivers/alsa-hda-reboot-notify in 11.2
by Michal Marek 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hi Takashi, patches.drivers/alsa-hda-reboot-notify changes the kabi signatures (compared to the 11.2 GA kernel) because it adds a member to struct hda_codec_ops. It changes lots of snd_hda_*() symbols and query_amp_caps(), I checked and none of the KMPs in the distro depends on these, not even alsa-driver-kmp from multimedia:audio:KMP. Thus, I think it should be safe to ignore this change, what do you think? Full list of the changed symbols is attached.

[opensuse-kernel] Bootsplash in 11.2
by kristjan 07 Nov '09

07 Nov '09

Hello! When I use manually compiled vanilla kernel there is no bootsplash at startup or shutdown time. I know 11.2 uses splashy which should require no additional kernel patching, only fb support (I have that), but when looking into stock kernel configuration I can see some additional entries like "bootsplash" with following description: --- This option enables the Linux bootsplash screen. For more information on the bootsplash screen have a look at http://www.bootsplash.org/. --- Is this it? If it is, are there somewhere patches available for more recent kernels, those on bootsplash.org seems unmaintained.

[opensuse-kernel] [Kernel:HEAD] Package kernel-ec2 is missing
by Johannes Obermayr 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Hi, If you try installing package kernel-syms from Kernel:HEAD (or building against it) you receive an error message that package kernel-ec2-devel is missing. Please add package kernel-ec2 to the project or remove dependency from kernel-syms's spec file. spec file for kernel-ec2 has been already provided. This has been happened since days - so I think limitation period of 24 hours is kept... Thanks.

[opensuse-kernel] kexec and Reading legacy_max_head failed
by Dave Plater 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Hi, I messed up my boot yesterday, probably my fault, I was removing old kernels and shrunk my boot partition to give extra to swap but when my 11.2rc2 system refused to boot I spent the whole morning trying to restore the bootloader because my favourite tool kexec wouldn't work. Instead it output "Reading legacy_max_head failed" and kexec -e simply refused to boot anything. I googled the error message and came up with an old bug bnc#383210 and a patch by Bernhard Walle dating back to May last year. Is it possible that this patch is now preventing kexec from working? Another question is : where does the 2.6.31-10-desktop kernel come from? I can't seem to find it in any of my repositories.
