[opensuse-kernel] update-bootloader hangs
by Hans-Peter Jansen 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

Hi, anybody experienced update-bootloader hangs, yet? I just applied the serial fix to the kernel-pae-2.6.25.5-1.1, and installed the rpm with -ihv, but again, the update-bootloader hung similar to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=400682. I bet, my config isn't that unusual, that this bug will get lots of duplicates, therefor I raised the severity.

[opensuse-kernel] 11.0 released kernel problems
by Hans-Peter Jansen 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

Hi, I'm struggling with two kernel issues of 11.0: - Bug 401119 - ntp doesn't work with serial DCF receiver (Greg, I tried to CC you on the bug, but the dreaded bugzilla refrained from sending the message to you..) and today another issue appeared, that didn't happen on my hefty modded 10.2 (2.6.25.4): I tried to use my Canon Powershot as a capture device.

[opensuse-kernel] HEAD rebased to 2.6.26-rc5-git5
by Jeff Mahoney 16 Jun '08

16 Jun '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all - Just a quick FYI that after the 11.0 branch announcement, the HEAD kernel has been rebased to 2.6.26-rc5-git5. Updates will be ongoing. Here are the caveats: - - No Xen kernels: Due to the ongoing upstream merge process, there are differences that weren't easily resolved for this update. The Xen team will be working on updating the code soonish. - - No RT kernels: Similar explanation. - - No OCFS2 userspace clustering: OCFS2 userspace clustering will be receiving an update soonish to fully integrate with the fs/dlm DLM implementation. Once 11.0 is officially released, this will be updated as the FACTORY kernel. Until then, packages will be available via the KOTD site at http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/HEAD/ - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkhQvnIACgkQLPWxlyuTD7L3nwCdGccX+QF02qBPT0lbEvyBNY49 hbcAoIo2HSlfi7BlFF+8STzI56wh8tVf =Ww1Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help(a)opensuse.org

Sid, thanks to your hints, I was able to build the kmp successfully (even with the patch applied; while not mandatory, it may improve driver behavior, if your CPU has the PAT feature). The problem was within my nvidia-kmp spec. To be honest, I'm using and tried to build the factory kernel for my main system also (still running 10.2), and wanted to build the nvidia driver without previously booting the new kernel.. All could be well, but installing the kernel/nvidia-kmp rpms revealed, that the new kernel changed the dependency symbols, e.g.: nvidia kmp requires kernel module provides kernel(vmlinux) = 015782a1ee5a89fa kernel(pae:arch_x86_kernel) = b9c1ac86531e74ba kernel(drivers_char_agp) = 03dd4e9dc2a83744 kernel(pae:drivers_char_agp) = 03dd4e9dc2a83744 kernel(drivers_i2c) = 1960c406fe25bb0c kernel(pae:drivers_i2c) = 1960c406fe25bb0c thus, automatic rollout fails once again :-(. Leaving the distro provided kernel way was never as painfull as today. Does some suse kernel hacker has a bright idea, how to workaround this problem? IOW, is it possible to translate the old symbol names to the new ones? I must confess, I don't grok /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires.ksyms at the moment..
