[opensuse-kernel] Reliability test for hard drives and SSD
by Andrey Ponomarenko 29 Jul '18

29 Jul '18

Hi there! Good news for all interested in hardware compatibility and reliability. I've started a new project to estimate reliability of hard drives and SSD in real-life conditions based on the SMART data reports collected by Linux users in the Linux-Hardware.org database since 2014. The initial data (SMART reports), analysis methods and results are publicly shared in a new github repository: https://github.com/linuxhw/SMART. Everyone can contribute to the report by uploading probes of their computers by the hw-probe tool! The primary aim of the project is to find drives with longest "power on hours" and minimal number of errors. The following formula is used to measure reliability: Power_On_Hours / (1 + Number_Of_Errors), i.e. time to the first error/between errors. Please be careful when reading the results table. Pay attention not only to the rating, but also to the number of checked model samples. If rating is low, then look at the number of power-on days and number of errors occurred. New drive models will appear at the end of the rating table and will move to the top in the case of long error-free operation. Thanks to ROSA, openSUSE, Gentoo, Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, Arch, Fedora users and others who had made this work possible by contribution to the database! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org

Now, that IA32 kernel from Kernel:stable are operational again, it would be nice, if some enlightened person could put some love into our IA32 kernel builds...

[opensuse-kernel] How to build and install a 64 debian kernel for PI-3?
by Raz 18 Jul '18

18 Jul '18

hello I am trying to replace the kernel for the PI3. The PI was flushed with the image 018-01-08-raspberry-pi-3-buster-PREVIEW. Are there any special instructions for how to build and install the kernel ? I manage to build and install a kernel for the previous versions ( with the grub) - openSUSE-Leap42.2-ARM-E20-raspberrypi3.aarch64.raw.xz but in the new version I fail. thx -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] Kernel:stable issues with nvidia-gfxG0{3,4} builds for i586
by Hans-Peter Jansen 17 Jul '18

17 Jul '18

Hi, in an attempt to locally build i586 nvidia-gfxG0{3,4} packages with the kernel from Kernel:stable, I harvest strange errors, that seems to stem from issues in the i586 kernel builds. That's not such a big surprise of course, given that those kernels aren't exercised that much nowadays... Here's what I've analysed so far. In %build of nvidia-gfxG03, there's this line (in both %build and %install): src=/lib/modules/$(make -siC %{kernel_source $flavor} kernelrelease)/source running in a loop to fetch the kernel module source path for the current flavor. Unfortunately, the subshell call make -siC %{kernel_source $flavor} kernelrelease detects some inconsistencies, and tries to generate a full .config interactively. Needless to say, that $src doesn't point to an existing path thereafter.. The nvidia-gfxG04 build fails in a similar way. Q: What's wrong with that make call for i586? Obviously, this is working fine for x86_64?

[opensuse-kernel] Multiple mkinitrd's run during dup - why?
by Richard Brown 08 Jul '18

08 Jul '18

It's not the first time I've noticed this, but during my zypper dup today my system ran mkinitrd at least twice Once as part of installing kernel-default (in the %post install of that package) and once again as part of installing coreutils (in the %posttrans, using the %{?regenerate_initrd_posttrans} macro) If I understand correctly the whole point of the %{?regenerate_initrd_posttrans} macro is to prevent multiple runs of mkinitrd necessarily - so I guess my question is - why isn't the kernel using it? And would it be a good idea to consider it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org
