[opensuse-kernel] Problem with ath5k with latest 2.6.31.12 kernel
by Christian Ehrlicher 15 Feb '10

Hi, I already posted my problem on opensuse but now found out that there's also an opensuse-kernel which is maybe a better place for such problems :) Here my original post: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2010-02/msg00584.html ------------------------------8<------------------- with the latest kernel coming from online update or http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/openSUSE-11.2/openSUSE_11… my ath5k is no longer recognized: dmesg | grep ath5k: [ 12.282359] ath5k 0000:06:02.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 22 [ 12.282481] ath5k 0000:06:02.0: registered as 'phy0' [ 12.797142] ath5k phy0: Invalid EEPROM checksum 0xc842 [ 12.797260] ath5k phy0: unable to init EEPROM [ 12.797382] ath5k 0000:06:02.0: PCI INT A disabled [ 12.797419] ath5k: probe of 0000:06:02.0 failed with error -5 With 2.6.31.8 all works fine: dmesg | grep ath5k: [ 11.361726] ath5k 0000:06:02.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 22 [ 11.361806] ath5k 0000:06:02.0: registered as 'phy0' [ 11.735256] ath5k phy0: Atheros AR2413 chip found (MAC: 0x78, PHY: 0x45) All on OpenSUSE 11.2, 64 bits Any idea what's going wrong here? ------------------------------8<------------------- Thx, Christian Ehrlicher -- Sicherer, schneller und einfacher.

[opensuse-kernel] procedure to extract & build btrfs-unstable module & progs against opensuse Kernel:HEAD kernel sources?
by 0bo0 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

I'm running uname -a Linux TEST 2.6.33-rc6-12-xen #1 SMP 2010-02-05 18:11:23 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux and have, ls -al /usr/src | grep rc6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2010-02-07 09:53 linux -> linux-2.6.33-rc6-12 drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 2010-02-06 07:04 linux-2.6.33-rc6-12/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2010-02-06 01:09 linux-2.6.33-rc6-12-obj/ I'd like to experiment with *this* kernel and latest/unstable btrfs. Although the btrfs wiki (http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Btrfs_source_repositories) refers to a 'standalone' btrfs source tree, it's apparently ~ 1 year out of date, and no longer maintained. Afaict, the latest btrfs sources are only available in git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-unstable.git git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-progs-unstable.git that pull a complete kernel tree ... Reading Git docs/howtos, I note: "With Git it is not possible to pull only a single directory, because of the hash code nature of Git, you must take all or nothing.", so I guess I'm stuck with pulling the whole non-opensuse kernel tree, and either patching it with opensuse's patches etc, or extracting all (?) the btrfs-unstable bits, and swapping them into the opensuse kernel sources. What would be the "right procedure" for extracting the btrfs & btrfs-progs sources from the kernel.org trees, and building the module/progs against my in-place, fully-patched, opensuse kernel's sources? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] How do I debug a kernel panic?
by Dave Plater 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

Hi, I occasionally get a kernel panic, at least I assume it is because everything freezes except for blinking keyboard lights, when compiling with multiple jobs using scons but I can't find anything in the log to indicate where it happened. I'm already running kdump but it doesn't trigger. I think I can reproduce the panic with a particular resource hungry compile so what can I do to debug this problem?

Hi, kernel-desktop for openSUSE 11.2 - i586 is building on build35/1. It seems that this host has a (temporary) problem. Please retrigger the package. Thanks.

[opensuse-kernel] showstopper bug w.r.t. i915 module
by Werner LEMBERG 09 Feb '10

09 Feb '10

[2.6.33-rc6-11-pae] [being forced currently to use a TTY console only, it's not fun to file a bug report into bugzilla, so you see my report here] X no longer starts with this kernel on my Intel 945GM chip: i915 0000:00:02.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 i915 0000:00:02.0: setting latency timer to 64 [drm:drm_fill_in_dev] *ERROR* Cannot initialize the agpgart module. DRM: Fill_in_dev failed. i915 0000:00:02.0: PCI INT A disabled i915: probe of 0000:00:02.0 failed with error -22 Later on in the log file, I see agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: Intel 945GM Chipset agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: detected 7932K stolen memory agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0xd0000000 Looking into the internet, I see that a similar bug has been filed as #359729 for Ubuntu; Somehow the calling order has been mangled so that i915 is loaded before agpgart... IMHO this is a showstopper bug. Note that this also happens with RC5 on my box -- BTW, who the heck had the idea to call the 2.6.33-rc5 Milestone kernel module just `2.6.33', indicating that it is no longer a release candidate but a final kernel version? I consider this a notably bad idea. Werner -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] repos for, or building, btrfs:UNSTABLE against opensuse Kernel:HEAD?
by 0bo0 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

currently, i've uname -ri 2.6.33-rc6-11-xen x86_64 iiuc, these kernels, from Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_11.2, track the branch @ kernel.org, mainline: 2.6.33-rc6. according to http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Btrfs_source_repositories, btrfs 'stable' is included in mainline. and, @ opensuse, i've rpm -qa | grep btrfs btrfsprogs-0.19-12.1.x86_64 from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/drivers:/filesystems/openSUSE_11.2, and modinfo btrfs filename: /lib/modules/2.6.33-rc6-11-xen/kernel/fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko license: GPL srcversion: 7FEB82935E1856C698A703C depends: libcrc32c,zlib_deflate vermagic: 2.6.33-rc6-11-xen SMP mod_unload modversions Xen which is consistent with stable btrfs branch. is there any obs project that's tracking more-recent btrfs UNSTABLE, so as to pickup more recent changes? if not, are there any concerns re: simply building from the btrfs git sources (http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Btrfs_source_repositories#Unstable_R…) against current opensuse Kernel:HEAD sources? just not clear on the dependencies ... thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] build service macros in kernel source spec
by Hans-Peter Jansen 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

Hi, given the problems I have in getting aufs based NFS root mounting to work for 11.1, (hi Jeff), I stumbled across these macros: %if ! 0%{?opensuse_bs} BuildRequires: kernel-dummy %endif Am I supposed to install a kernel-dummy package or should this prevent me from build a kernel? Forgive me the ironic tone, but using a rpmbuild argument like --define 'opensuse_bs 1' is plain silly, isn't it. Do I miss something here?
