no our diff versus openvz is getting huge:
~/src/linux-2.6.26-openvz$ git diff --shortstat 24cebf40278cb071ff8b..
39 files changed, 589 insertions(+), 112 deletions(-)

and yes there are 2 abi breaker there inside, so this will be considered
for the next stable update after release that pumps abi.

That's what I was looking for. I used a custom path and it's working
perfect!

Thank you very much!

The linux-image-2.6.26-1-openvz doesn't have this fix. Latest 2.6.26-ovz has fix.
For 2.6.27-ovz fix patches was sent To Pavel for review.

Could you pinpoint the patch for 2.6.26 exactly, e.g. by a commit or by
attaching it?

If it's simple enough, perhaps the Debian kernel maintainers could add
it to Debian's tree.

I'm experiencing the oops on our latest kernel (2.6.26-7, seems to include
openvz stuff up to 24cebf40).

Do you have a fix for this? I'm only asking because you said you were
fixing this back then.

Thanks,

Bastian, what kernel are you running?

I'm getting "0" (which isn't the expected "read" either) on the
following kernel:
Linux version 2.6.26-1-686 (Debian 2.6.26-5) (waldi@...) (gcc
version 4.1.3 20080623 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-23)) #1 SMP Wed Sep

Bug#501383: domU with 2.6.26 does not see more than 4G of RAM

2008-10-06T20:22:01Z

Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-686
Version: 2.6.26-5
Severity: normal

I've just tried to start kernel from linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-686
instead of etch xen kernel in a domU.

Since that domU runs an application server with >50 KDE session
nortmally active, it required much RAM. Current setup is 15G.
That works with etch 2.6.18-6-xen kernel.

However, kernel from linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-686 recognized only 4G.

Hypervisor version is 3.2.0-3~bpo4+2 (from backports.org).
xen-utils-3.2-1 in dom0 is 3.2.0-3~bpo4+2.
Both hypervisor and domU are 32bit.

Bug#501359: initramfs-tools: MODULES=dep does not like Xen virtual block devices

2008-10-06T13:59:33Z

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.92j
Severity: normal

Hi,

when trying to build a small initramfs via MODULES=dep:

$ sudo update-initramfs -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-xen-686
mkinitramfs: missing xvda root /dev/xvda1 /sys entry
mkinitramfs: workaround is MODULES=most
mkinitramfs: Error please report the bug
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-xen-686

So here you are. This virtual machine has a single virtual partition
(/dev/xvda1) imported, no /dev/xvda.

Thanks,
Feri.

Hi,

a new firmware-iwlwifi package is available in unstable. Please try this new
package and update your linux-image to get the latest iwlwifi driver and
report back if the problem is still alive.

N.B. I don't get any error with the firmware...

Regards,

OdyX

I believe you can place override modules under:
/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates
and they will be preferred. You can also create custom search paths -
see depmod.conf(5) for details.

Package: linux-image
Version: 2.6.18-5_amd64

I installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.07-pkg2.run with package-cfg xserver-xorg-dev 
linux-headers build-essential module-assistant.  The installation was correct, so
i execute /etc/init.d/gdm start and it worked.  But later i execute 

/etc/init.d/gdm stop and a lot of memory addresess with messages were shown with a
final message kernel panic.

I am using Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 Etch, linux-image-2.6.18-5_i386 i own a celeron D 
procesor and it runs 
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run driver without problems. 
As far as i know my computer arquitecture support i386 and amd64.

Thanks.

We don't support the binary-only modules from nvidia and similar.

Package: linux-image
Version: 2.6.23-1-amd64

my kernel does not create /dev/sda1 (root) on boot. grub loads from
the same hd and, sometimes, the system works fine, but in most of'em i
fall into busybox and have only /dev/hda (cdrom).
I changed the /dev/name by UUID= at grub and fstab.
I placed some sata modules
(scsi_mod,sd_mod,libata,sata_nv,ahci,ata_piix) at
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules.
Booted with 'noapic' and/or 'acpi=off' options.
...None of it worked.

Bug#500784: probably not a candidate

2008-10-06T10:21:27Z

hey,
Holger and I talked about this on IRC, and the current status is that
it doesn't appear to meet our guidelines for a stable release update.

Stable candidates need to be of >= important severity. This bug is
wishlist, and that seems to be appropriate considering it is a request
for a new feature (as opposed to a regression).
