iwl4965 issues
by Mauricio Pretto 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

Hello everybody I hope this is the right place for that. My iwl4965 never been stable in my fedora 8, for sure its getting better but still i have some weird issues. Like when switching off/on the hardware the load goes really high, but my posting today is about something very unusual for me. I use my laptop in different places, but at the office i got a very unusual behavior. When i get to the office i need to turn the computer on with the hardware switch off, if not i will get a kernel panic as you can see in this link: http://www.eunomundo.com.br/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=25855 My machine info is at: http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show_all?UUID=9e1cb972-a95c-4ed3-b84a-77c6f6… Regards -- Pretto http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MauricioPretto

Getting rid of sysprof-kmod
by Gianluca Sforna 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hi, I just finished removing the sysprof-kmod package from CVS as mandated by the new guidelines for F9 and above. I am now seeking some help to understand what is needed to have again the kernel module required for proper operations of the sysprof package. Upstream sources are at: http://www.daimi.au.dk/~sandmann/sysprof/ Thanks in advance Gianluca

The initscripts already do this for us. True, they do (once we fix #409551 and preferably also stop mkinitrd from creating the device node with the old numbers). The installer doesn't though, as far as I know. It would need to do so. Once we've started setting the clock in userspace, it then makes a certain amount of sense to have the RTC drivers as modules instead of building them in. We'd need to make sure the right driver gets autoloaded, but that isn't particularly hard. While we're at it, I'd also quite like to have a sanity check after setting the clock in rc.sysinit -- if it's before 2000 or so, I'd like to set it from the latest timestamp found in /var/log. That's _also_ going to be wrong, but it's not going to be _so_ wrong that it prevents you from even being able to log in as root to a VT :) -- dwmw2

[RFC] Kernel subpackage for zImage wrapper.
by David Woodhouse 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

In arch/powerpc/boot/ in the kernel, there is wrapper code which lets you make a combined zImage from fairly much arbitrary kernels and ramdisks. We use it outside the context of the kernel build, for building installer images, etc. For a while we've had a copy -- in fact, two copies of different vintages -- of this in the ppc64-utils package. This was about as sensible as glibc-kernheaders was, and while upstream dicked around with load addresses and other things to try to make sure it's compatible with as many machines as possible, we lagged behind. Just as we do now for headers, I'd like to spit out a 'kernel-bootwrapper' subpackage when we build the kernel. It depends on a patch introducing 'make bootloader_install' which has been sent upstream and will hopefully be accepted; the resulting bootwrapper package has been confirmed to work for Efika (ppc32), Electra (the new PA Semi ppc64 machine) and PS3. Dave, Chuck -- does this look OK?
