[opensuse-kernel] "Warning! ehci_hcd should always be loaded before ..." message still there in kernel 2.6.27.37-0.1
by Fred Scali-West 05 Dec '09

Hi, I assume that this is the right list to post it (rather than opensuse-bugs), but I may be wrong, so any comments are welcome... The issue triggering the message (in dmesg) "Warning! ehci_hcd should always be loaded before uhci_hcd and ohci_hcd, not after" is stil there in last kernel update (uname -a = Linux mir 2.6.27.37-0.1- default #1 SMP 2009-10-15 14:56:58 +0200 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux). As discussed between list users Jean Delvare & Greg KH in message- id:<200905051826.54284.jdelvare@xxxxxxx> from 5 May 2009, the 2 ending lines here (in /etc/modprobe.conf): # "Warning! ehci_hcd should always be loaded before uhci_hcd and ohci_hcd, not # after" (bnc#449853) # mkinitrd hints: # SUSE INITRD: uhci-hcd REQUIRES ehci-hcd # SUSE INITRD: ohci-hcd REQUIRES ehci-hcd install uhci-hcd /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install uhci-hcd install ohci-hcd /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ohci-hcd are missing in the /etc/modprobe.conf from /boot/initrd-2.6.27.37-0.1-default. Manually modifing the file in the initrd (and appending the 2 missing lines) solved again the issue, so that would be really nice to get rid definitively of this problem as soon as possible...

[opensuse-kernel] KOTD/HREAD: kernel source not in sync again
by Markus Koßmann 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

Since Wednesday, there were three updates of KOTD/HEAD and with none of them the provided kernel source version was in sync with the provided binaries. Another observation:When there were a few days without update, in many cases the next update is out of sync and only the following update is in sync again -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] current kernel for FACTORY?
by Stefan Seyfried 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Hi, I hope I'm not too offtopic here ;) What's the chance that we will get an uptodate kernel for FACTORY a bit more often (say, once a week)? I still have this: strolchi:~ # rpm -qi kernel-default Name : kernel-default Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 2.6.32 Vendor: openSUSE Release : 1.1 Build Date: Wed Nov 4 16:12:55 2009 Install Date: Mon Nov 9 17:43:05 2009 Build Host: build17 Group : System/Kernel Source RPM: kernel-default-2.6.32-1.1.nosrc.rpm Size : 100482670 License: GPL v2 only Signature : RSA/8, Wed Nov 4 17:00:43 2009, Key ID b88b2fd43dbdc284 Packager : http://bugs.opensuse.org URL : http://www.kernel.org/ Summary : The Standard Kernel Description : Which smells pretty bad already (and in fact has lots of problems, I have not had a kernel crash that often on me since at least half a year ago and back then, it was KMS that was bad. Anyway, this kernel is so ancient, that I do not even dare to report bugs against ist anymore). I know there's 2.6.32-1.4 in the repo, but as that's only a rebuild, I doubt it will fix things up. Or is the common wisdom to use the KOTD nowadays? Is it stable? Can I build my KMPs against it in the buildservice? Does it work with zypper to keep the FACTORY and the KOTD kernel, so that you have always two to choose from? Thanks, seife -- Stefan Seyfried "Any ideas, John?"

[opensuse-kernel] Any Archived openSUSE Kernels?
by Rob OpenSuSE 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

I have a box which runs 11.1 fine & seemingly 2.6.27.X kernels, but not 11.2 or any 2.6.31.X kernels I've tried. Are there any archives of "golden" kernels, so I could do a bisect to find which release breaks things? 2.6.29 2.6.30 || 2.6.28 Using generic binary rpm's would be a huge time saver on compiling vanilla from source.

Hi, if you opened http://gitorious.org/opensuse/ today, you might have noticed the flood of kernel-source updates in the activity log ;-). Now it's official: http://news.opensuse.org/2009/11/20/opensuse-kernel-repository-is-public/ Sorry that it took us so long.

Greg? I don't know of any that would. I vote for the "ignore this change" as it came from upstream, and any external driver would have to handle it anyway. And note that there almost are no external drivers anymore, with the exception of ati and nvidia, so that reduces the chance of a problem even more. And anyway, I didn't think we were doing ABI stuff for opensuse kernels, is this a change? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] usb-storage and usb masstorage access of vmware guest OS
by Markus Koßmann 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

With SUSE-11.2/kernel 2.6.31, there seems to be no possiblity to have access to an USB mass storage device attached to the host from an guest OS in vmware 6.5. With the 2.6.25 kernel of SUSE-11.0 it used to work. With the 2.6.27 kernel of 11.1 , the mass storage driver changed behaviour and grabs the mass storage device again after being thrown out by vmware. Vmware then fails to access the device. Workaround was to unload the USB mass storage drivermodule. But now with with 11.2 and 2.6.31, the USB mass storage driver is no longer compiled as module. So the option to unload the module is gone, too. Is there any workaround for that problem other than recompiling the kernel with modular usb-storage ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help(a)opensuse.org
