Yeah, I need to do another pass through all the bugzilla entries. Silly me
didn't realise that when you ask a question on bugzilla and the originator
replies, you don't get notified! You have to manually add yourself to Cc.
That being said, managing these via bugzilla is nicer than via email.
We'll get something better going post-2.6.12.

This should have been fixed already. (It was merged before rc2, so
can't find in git repo...)

Nope, but there's a design:
Begin forwarded message:

From: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
To: linux-arch@vger
Subject: Double free of initramfs
In all linker scripts we currently have something like this:
__init_begin = .;
...
. = ALIGN(4096);
__initramfs_start = .;
.init.ramfs : { *(.init.ramfs) }
__initramfs_end = .;
...
__init_end = .;
It seems all 25 linker scripts in the current bk tree are suffering from
this. Which mean with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD enabled first free_initrd_mem
may be called to free the initram disk and just a little later
free_initmem will try to free the entire range again, so either the
linker scripts would need fixing or free_initrd_mem has become obsolete.

These two entries seem to be the same one, from me.
Sylvain Meyer was working on it. And I've recently seen some patches
from him on the mm-commit list. I didn't have time to test them but I
should be able to try next week (especially if a new -mm is released
soon).

OK, thanks - I'll try to get mm3 out this evening, if by some miracle some

Hi Andrew,
I just tried with rc6-mm1 and the problem is still present:
when the onboard video memory is set to 1MB in the BIOS, switching from
X to VT1 gives a dirty framebuffer console (no text, just wrong colors).
Setting memory to 8MB in the BIOS makes all this work.

Hi Brice,
What is your X configuration ? The default parameters are ok for a
VideoRam parameter up to 32MB. Could you check two things, please ?
- First, could you set VideoRam to 32MB in your X conf.
- Second, could you set it to 64MB and use a voffset=64 parameter
for intelfb.
Thanks
Sylvain

"First" works.
"Second" doesn't:
intelfb says that the initial video mode is 640x400-8@69. This might
be correct (I did not count :)).
But during the boot, the display of messages seems to be shifted upwards
(the shift is about 3 or 4 text lines).
And switching from X to fbcon is still broken, but not as previously
(dirty vertical lines without text). Now, the 3 bottom pixel lines of
the last text line of the display ("host login:") are shown regularly
everywhere on the screen.

There's quite a few in there judging by the looks of the subjects
that aren't worth holding up the release imo. Will the world
end if we dont ship 2.6.12 with support for Geode optimisation
for eg ?

Hmm. yet more oom-killer woes.
Some kind person from IBM pulled out a patch that we stuck in RHEL4
which does a sysrq-M at the time an oom kill occurs, which we've
found handy tracking down these. Might be worth including.
It got sent to the list late last week. I can dig it out if you
don't have it queued already.

I would go through some of the rest on the list, but I'm hungry :-)
Maybe more later..

I think this is another case of someone reporting a problem and not
providing any feedback to replies. Bjorn followed up on this and
I haven't seen a response.
However, port.type won't be set for serial console. This is entirely
expected. We haven't approached the normal port initialisation and
as such we treat the port as being the lowest common denominator - a
standard 8250 port.
If we do want port.type initialised, the solution for this is to get
rid of the early initialisation of 8250-based consoles entirely, which
is something I keep saying and not doing because I know I'm going to
get whinged at.

I looked at that one, but there's no substantial information
in the bug report (e.g. lspci and dmesg output,
SysRq-T when xine hangs). IIRC there were no similar reports
on the linux-dvb list.

These are both from the same thread -- I reported the issue. I was
having this problem in -mm1, and I'm intermittently having the problem
in -mm2 ... I'm starting to think there may be another factor involved
(I can't imagine what) ... But if I am the only person seeing this
issue, then I wouldn't worry about this. I'll do more testing when -mm3
comes out and I'll post as to whether the problem is still present or not.

The one that worries me is that my x86_64 box won't boot since -rc3

Well, I have a dual-Opteron box with tg3 (AMD chipset) and -rc5+ run happily on it.
Please let me know if I can help somehow.

All the MPT_FUSION config variables got renamed, so a simple `make
oldconfig' results in a kernel qhich does precisely what your machine is
doing there.

Not sure what you mean. 2.6.11 has (in drivers/message/fusion/Kconfig)
config FUSION
config FUSION_MAX_SGE
config FUSION_CTL
config FUSION_LAN
2.6.12-rc3 has:
config FUSION
config FUSION_MAX_SGE
config FUSION_CTL
config FUSION_LAN
So I don't think they changed, AFAICS. The config in question has:
CONFIG_FUSION=y
CONFIG_FUSION_MAX_SGE=40
# CONFIG_FUSION_CTL is not set
# CONFIG_SOUND_FUSION is not set
And I'd backed out the rc3 drivers to rc2 (the whole of drivers/message/fusion)
and it doesn't fix it.
I also get several different failure modes, in different trees, one of
which is:

Ok. For now.
Actually it fixes some other bugs (e.g. one from Matt D.), but they are not
very high priority.
I would like to debug it, but I am not sure I will still make it this week.
But Martin, can you please send me the dmesg again? Maybe it is something
stupid.

All the logs are linked off here:
http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mbligh/abat/regression_matrix.html
Just click on the ABORT messages in hte left column. But I'm thinking maybe
I'm off by one, and it might be:
x86_64-port-over-e820-gap-detection-from-i386.patch
I'm double checking right now. Even once it's we get back to a point where
it boots, it seems to consistently hang every time in the same place, which
seems to be caused, AFAICS by
x86_64-use-a-common-function-to-find-code-segment-bases-fix.patch
I'll double check that too before anyone shoots it ... gimme a few hours.

Nope, I was correct, just one of my scrawled notes was wrong. backing out
x86_64-use-the-e820-hole-to-map-the-iommu-agp-aperture.patch
does indeed fix it.

OK, here's the patch to fix the boot problem, for reference (just the above
reversed).
http://mbligh.org/abat/no_hole
Now what's REALLY, REALLY wierd is that this fixes my hang problem
whilst trying to run kernbench:
http://mbligh.org/abat/no_hang
which is just reverting:
x86_64-use-a-common-function-to-find-code-segment-bases-fix.patch
But the patch is tiny, and it makes NO sense at all for this to fix
anything. All it does is:
diff -purN -X /home/mbligh/.diff.exclude 2.6.12-rc2-mm2/include/asm-x86_64/ptrace.h 2.6.12-rc2-mm2-no_hang/include/asm-x86_64/ptrace.h

How the hell can that possibly fix it? Boggle. But it does. I checked.
I ran a whole damned sequence of patches from your tree against the box,
then extracted the one where the failover started and retested it with
just that and the no_hole one. There's even a little green box to
prove it about 4 down on the left here:
http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mbligh/abat/regression_matrix.html
My brain is now a small piece of silly-putty smushed against the far
wall of my study. Anything you can do to help me scrape up the remains
would be splendid. I can only speculate it's some wierd side-effect,
because I have no other explaination at all.

Strangely, -git3 works, which has the boot fix applied, but not the
hang fix bit. Something odd is afoot.

Most likely it is a BIOS bug and the Newisys BIOS puts something in
the hole when it should be marked RESERVED in e820. Little we can do
here :/
Note in theory it could blow up on i386 too if you have enough
mappings.

This is more of a feature request than a bug, as in we don't currently have
a PnPBIOS driver for this hardware. I need to look at the es18xx code to
see how difficult it will be.

I'm looking into this issue now.

I think we're gradually improving this. Suspend-to-ram is also an issue.
