[opensuse-kernel] 2.6.27-rc3 update
by Jeff Mahoney 15 Aug '08

15 Aug '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all - After a long battle, I've just updated HEAD to 2.6.27-rc3. A few comments: There were significant changes in file permission calls that required a bit of AppArmor rework. Please report any regressions you see. Firmware blobs were added to the kernel packages. udev hasn't been updated to locate them yet, so you may run into problems with devices requiring the firmware blobs. ia64, powerpc, and s390 are failing to build the kernel-source package. I expect this is because those architectures eliminated the use of include/asm-$arch. The build process creates an empty directory and links to it, but I suspect that something doesn't like an empty directory and is leaving it out. I haven't yet tried to place a dummy file in that directory. It's failing when it tries to link to a nonexistent target. Can someone with a better knowledge of rpm-fu take a look at this? The binary packages on those arches are failing with several unpackaged files powerpc is failing with an internal compiler error while building ath9k. I hope to gather a bit more information on that tomorrow. As usual, the -xen and -rt flavors are disabled until those features can be re-merged. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkikmsIACgkQLPWxlyuTD7KPbwCgorymu6FfBvFIko3D/wEHCQKN xQoAn3pTZS536YrY1Ow+NUUjrbjcJena =diXq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] Suspending vs partitions on USB devices
by Vincent Untz 03 Aug '08

03 Aug '08

Hi, There's a fate entry (#300647, sorry for those who cannot have access to it -- I'm asking if it can be made public) to have the desktop unmount all partitions from USB (& firewire) devices when the computer is suspended because unloading usb-storage would fail. My understanding of all this is... not perfect :-) So here are a few questions and hopefully the replies will help me: + can kernel people tell if this is still a potential issue? + if we need to do this, shouldn't the kernel just do it anyway? (or maybe hal -- it seems weird to me to have all desktops implement this) + what can we do for processes that are using files on those partitions? Thanks, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help(a)opensuse.org
