kqemu inclusion in kernel
by Christopher Brown 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

Hi folks, I've started playing around with virtualization at work and the first thing I'd like to query is kqemu's lack of inclusion in the Fedora kernel. It was GPL'd in February and although I realise Axel is packaging kmdl/kmods it would be good to know if this is being queued up for mainline. If not then can it be backported for Fedora kernels. If that is not possible then can it be moved into the default repos to save users (me) bolting on another repo (no offence Axel). Please forgive dual list posting but I know DJ reads the kernel list and might want to comment whereas I'm not sure AT does. And vice versa. Regards Chris

Who decides what drivers go on the install disk?
by Chuck Ebbert 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

The arcmsr driver is in-kernel but you can't install to a system using it for the main disk controller: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=249647 Ditto for the uli526x network driver, network installs are impossible on systems using that: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246165 The kernel has the drivers available, but people are reporting these as kernel bugs...

typo in new spec file (F7)
by Sam Folk-Williams 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

Hi, I noticed this in the kernel-2.6.22.1-33.fc7.src.rpm spec file as I was revising the kernel build docs: #% define buildid .local Just need to remove that space before 'define', otherwise we get the following after uncommenting. error: line 15: Unknown tag: % define buildid .local -Sam

I would still like to see kmod packages entirely deprecated in Fedora. If you want to maintain that kernel code and ship it with the 'Fedora' brand on it, why don't we just give you commit access to the kernel package? We can trust you to limit yourself to just those areas, and we can trivially disable your patch(es) if it gets in the way of progress. We've done precisely that kind of thing before (including for bcm43xx before that got merged). There's just no need for separate packages. -- dwmw2

Kernel Prerequisites?
by Chuck Ebbert 25 Jul '07

25 Jul '07

See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=249587 Some users need mdadm to build an initrd. Others might need a new release of cpuspeed (if they use it.) We don't require those packages because not all users will need them, AFAICT -- it depends on what features they use. Should we require all of the packages that might be needed?

Another kernel is building now with the old stack instead of the new one. It also has the libata combined mode option restored.

f7/rawhide utrace
by Roland McGrath 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

The mondo powerpc update upstream today will take some substantial merging and rejiggery work, and I might do something different tonight instead. If you rebase rawhide before I get there, you will hit trouble. The conflicts outside powerpc are simple. I made a 2.6.22/ backport from the 2.6-current patches (probably same set now in rawhide). That should do fine for f7. Thanks, Roland
