[opensuse-kernel] [patch #2 0/5] scripts/sequence-patch.sh: Add some useful options
by Jeff Mahoney 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

Hi all - There are a few things I do every time I expand the source tree with sequence-patch.sh. Or, rather, things I should do and forget to do a lot. The first I always remember to do: Copy the config I want to test with to my build directory. The second I forget more often than not: Expand the kABI references into my build directory. One of the things that bites me occasionally is when there are kABI changes that go un-noticed until the automated build checker flags them and sends me an email yelling at me for my carelessness. This patch adds three options to scripts/sequence-patch.sh to take care of these automatically. --build-dir=PATH allows you to specify the build directory you'll be using. It will create the directory if it doesn't exist. It defaults to $PATCH_DIR. --config=ARCH-FLAVOR allows you to specify the config you'll use. It will copy the config to your build directory. It is not a fatal error if the config does not exist. It will just not copy one. --kabi allows you to direct sequence-patch to expand the kABI references into your build directory. Since the references are arch/flavor specific, it depends on --config=ARCH-FLAVOR. It is not a fatal error if the kABI reference doesn't exist since this is always the case in the master branch. The --build-dir PATH is subject to shell expansion. It is expanded late enough in the script that most variables should be available. There are also three new variables available when --config is used: $CONFIG contains the --config contents. $CONFIG_ARCH contains the arch part of the config. $CONFIG_FLAVOR contains the flavor part. For reference, I have this in my .bashrc: export SEQUENCE_PATCH_ARGS="--config=x86_64-desktop --build-dir=~/src/scratch/build/\$CONFIG_ARCH/linux-\$SRCVERSION-\$TAG-\$CONFIG_FLAVOR --kabi" I've also added patches for --ctags and --cscope which will automatically generate the databases for either of those tools in the build directory after the source tree is expanded. - Issues addressed in patchset #2: - Help text is now a here document for easy addition of more documentation - Explanation of which variables are allowed by --build-dir - Missing rpm/modversions script is not an error on older branches - Missing symvers files are not errors - Uses true/false for simple feature flags -Jeff -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] 11.3 & 11.4 update scheduling
by Felix Miata 04 Aug '11

04 Aug '11

I see the last kernels on update were in April. When are next scheduled, or have they been scheduled? Finally 15 month old https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=584493 was fixed "Monday", and I'm anxious to have access to properly working kernel-desktop & kernel-default in these installations. Even Tumbleweed & stable/standard have had no new kernel builds since before "Monday's" fix. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-kernel] Need help to debug an non working Dell Precision M4600
by Bruno Friedmann 28 Jul '11

Hi All, before posting a bug, I need your help to grab the maximum of efficient informations I will need to finally debug a trouble I have. On a Dell Precision M4600 laptop, with a i7 2820QM proc, 16GB Ram 2 x seagate xt-momentus 500Go sata Gfx quadro 2000M ( without optimus enabled ) + openSUSE Factory : kernel 3.0-rc6 actually but tested with vanillia same I get a the most following trouble : shutdown -h works shutdown -r crash after "kernel will now reboot the system" And I need to cold reset the computer. I've tried several boot flags combination, and finally discover that putting noapic permit to have reboot working. But then several things at least warnings come during boot. So if someone has a pointer to a wiki page, or a howto debug kernel related trouble, could send me that link. so I will start to collect all the informations and store them online here the old (one month ago) smolt profile http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_caa64eca-6d8c-4abd-a61e-93d7fbfa1d48 -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Ambassador GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] Tumbleweed user reports with Kernel:HEAD 3.0 rc7 "laptop-mode: Unhandled kernel version: 3.0" (possible Factory 12.1 HAL dependency to)

There's a forum post giving error - http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/pre-release-beta… The Tumbleweed uers, tried kernel 3.0 because of bugs seen with the stable kernel series syncing notebook to Windows server. Bugzilla entry expected. I haven't found a reference to laptop-mode-tools since 3.0 announced, last change by Tue 07 Dec 2010 12:00:00 GMT coolo(a)novell.com - prereq init script haldaemon This may be another unnoticed HAL dependency to. I think this probably will be reportable in bugzilla, but I don't have laptop Factory install, & the Tumbleweed user is obviously using a pre-release kernel, so thought a quick heads up best first, before committing "bureaucracy".

[opensuse-kernel] Creating device nodes for kernel driver
by EXTERNAL Konold Martin (Firma, RtP2/TEF72) 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Hi there, I wrote a kernel device driver for a special purpose PCI framegrapper device which I maintain using a kmp rpm-package. Sofar I am grep'ing /proc/devices for the major number during startup and create the device nodes at startup. The documentation I found on the web and in /usr/src/linux/Documentations seems to be outdated, incomplete or contradicting. I am now wondering what is the most uptodate and recommended method to create the device nodes without the need for a user space setup script?
