Thanks for the hint about xzdio.9, what is the impact of this on build and install time?

[opensuse-kernel] Trim kernel-source package
by Jan Engelhardt 31 Mar '10

31 Mar '10

Greetings. The following is a submission to reduce the number of files that will be installed when one wants to compile kernel modules, offering saving both in time and space. Disks are touted as cheap, but let's face it, spending ~340 MB for kernel sources means you have 340 less for your personal files. The time savings should be obvious too: less files to install, and also less files to index — locatedb, quota, beagle/etc., you name it. This is especially beneficial for developers and OBS or OBS-like instances where packages are not only built in random order(*), but where the chroots are usually torn down everytime. (*) Calling build locally and manually, without --clean, and with the same buildroot everytime would allow for a time optimization when all KMPs are built after another, as big packages like kernel-* would not have to be reinstalled/deleted everytime. With this patch(set) — there is a bit of cleanup upfront —, the "kernel-devel" package is introduced which contains all (and only) the necessary files to support external module building. The entire source for personal recompilation orgies is moved out to "kernel-source", which now behaves like "kernel-source-vanilla" already did. The standalone sources' (kernel-source) path has been changed so as to not overlap with those used for module building, because people always trash their KMP build environment for the shipped kernel when they ran cloneconfig. Another desired side-effect of the so-codified separation into the kernel-devel package is that dangerous calls that would cause above-mentioned trashing are now completely inhibited. This modification has been tested with various kinds of free and non-free packages and kernel versions already. The latter is especially important because they are the most likely ones to break because of their awkward-to-horrid Makefiles. These have been made available for a long time already at jftp.medozas.de; the list includes at least: fglrx-kmp-default-8.681~2.6.31.11~jen93-jen0.x86_64.rpm ndiswrapper-kmp-default-1.55~2.6.31.11~jen93-3.4.jen2.x86_64.rpm nvidiagfx-kmp-default-190.53~2.6.31.11~jen93-jen8.x86_64.rpm nvidiagfx-legacy173-kmp-default-173.14.22~2.6.31.11~jen93-jen8.x86_64.rpm nvidiagfx-legacy71-kmp-default-71.86.11~2.6.31.11~jen93-jen8.x86_64.rpm nvidiagfx-legacy96-kmp-default-96.43.14~2.6.31.11~jen93-jen8.x86_64.rpm ttyrpld-kmp-default-2.60~2.6.31.11~jen93-jen4.x86_64.rpm virtualbox-modules-kmp-default-3.1.2_56127~2.6.31.12~jen93-jen0.x86_64.rpm vmware-modules-kmp-default-6.5.3~185404~2.6.31.12~jen93-jen3.x86_64.rpm xtables-addons-kmp-default-1.22~2.6.31.12~jen93-jen0.x86_64.rpm It was also tested with 2.6.32 and — since somebody decided out of the blue to rebase last week :-) — just now with .33-rc6 too.

[opensuse-kernel] Bug in iwlagn driver for IW5300 in kernel 2.6.33
by Larry Finger 31 Mar '10

31 Mar '10

The iwlagn driver in kernel 2.6.33 used in 11.3 M4 is affected by a bug that results in network disruptions caused by a timeout in a firmware watchdog. This is reported in the kernel bugzilla (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15374) where patches are posted. The changes do not eliminate the firmware errors, but the fixup is a lot less disruptive to the network connection. This bug is reported in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=592399. The above patches are already in kernel 2.6.34. Larry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] Factory update to kernel 2.6.34-rc2 coming
by Jeff Mahoney 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all - 2.6.34-rc2 was tagged over the weekend so I completed the integration with the master branch. KOTD and Kernel:HEAD kernels will be building shortly and once I've gotten a successful round of builds I'll submit to Factory. Since it's an -rc2 release there will probably be some hiccups, and we'd love to get feedback on them. If you run into an issue it would be awesome if you could also confirm whether the issue is in the -vanilla kernel so we know whether to file upstream bugs or not.

[opensuse-kernel] enable iommu on openSUSE 11.1/i586?
by Hans-Peter Jansen 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

Hi, I'm desperately trying to get a pass through pci device to a 11.2 kvm instance going on a openSUSE 11.1/i586 host, which is a VT-d capable machine: Xeon X3460, Asus P7F-E motherboard, Intel 3420 PCH chipset, 12 GB Ram, with the relevant options enabled in BIOS of course... According to: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/How_to_assign_devices_with_VT-d_in_KVM I need to enable the IOMMU, but no matter, what I provide as kernel parameter to iommu (or do not provide iommu at all), iommu keeps out of sight: ~# dmesg | grep -e DMAR -e IOMMU ACPI: DMAR BF78E0C0, 0090 (r1 AMI OEMDMAR 1 MSFT 97) Tentatively running a 11.2 x86_64 installation has it: ~# grep -e DMAR -e IOMMU /boot-11.2-x86_64.msg <4>[ 0.000000] ACPI: DMAR 00000000bf78e0c0 00090 (v01 AMI OEMDMAR 00000001 MSFT 00000097) <6>[ 0.046487] DMAR:Host address width 36 <6>[ 0.046491] DMAR:DRHD base: 0x000000fed90000 flags: 0x1 <6>[ 0.046499] IOMMU fed90000: ver 1:0 cap c90780106f0462 ecap f020e3 <6>[ 0.046502] DMAR:RMRR base: 0x000000000e4000 end: 0x000000000e7fff <6>[ 0.046506] DMAR:RMRR base: 0x000000bf7ec000 end: 0x000000bf7fffff Probably, the 11.1/x86_64 kernel has it, too. Do I have a chance to get this going with 11.1/i586 (e.g. with only a modified kernel)? Or is it possible to run an x86_64 kernel with a i586 userspace? Unfortunately, for some reason I have to avoid upgrading this system to 11.2 or x86_64 by all means.

[opensuse-kernel] Problem with Factory kernel 2.6.33-6.3
by Larry Finger 29 Mar '10

29 Mar '10

As part of my testing of the 11.3 Mx releases, I attempt to connect from my laptop to my AP using all my devices. In 11.3 M4, it worked with drivers rtl8187 and b43; however, my Dell DW1450, which uses p54usb, could not connect. It could scan, but it was clearly only doing a passive scan as only channel 1 was seen. My conclusion is that it cannot transmit. In further testing, that same kernel RPM also failed on 11.2; whereas my home-built 2.6.34-rc2 kernel works. To further complicate matters, after I downloaded the openSUSE version of 2.6.33-6.3 source, and built it on 11.2, it worked. I then suspected a difference between gcc 4.4 and 4.5; however, I built that version on 11.3 M4 using gcc 4.5.0 and it worked. AFAICT, the only bad version is the one in the Factory repo. Both x64_64 and i386 architectures have been tested. I have no idea what could have happened, but I will certainly be watching to see if the issue is cleared.
