Package: linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64
Version: 2.6.25-6
Severity: normal

Since my upgrade to linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64, the sound doesn't work !
The same installation with linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64 have no problem.

First, the system have a kernel panic : I resolve this by option "large-memory" in lilo.conf or by MODULES=dep in
/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf (instead of "most").
So with this option and 2.6.25-2, my system started normally but without any sound (under Gnome or KDE).

Please ask me for more details !

Thanks,

Severity: normal

While running my Dell Latitude D830 on battery, after ~30 seconds of not using the mouse or keyboard, attempting to move the mouse will result in a series of 2-second pauses, with about 1/4 second of activity between them (2 second pause, pointer jumps, 2 second pause, pointer jumps). After two or three of these intermittent pauses, the computer will respond normally until the keyboard/mouse is left for ~30 seconds.

I first noticed this while listening to music, since anytime after the ~30 second mark, the last played sample will loop infinitely until there is keyboard/mouse activity.

I have encountered this issue on a number of distributions, but not Debian until this latest kernel upgrade. I was running 2.6.24-7 previously.

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

While there are multiple calls to usplash in initramfs functions there
is no support for splashy. On systems that spend substantial part of
boot in the initramfs this is inadequate.

I attach a patch that should solve the problem but ideally the script
should be reworked so that the presence of splash solutions is tested
only in one place.

Thanks

OK, some results:
Before shutdown -h I checked with Fn End that I was already in the
dimmest state.

However, at the next power-up, sitting at the Lilo prompt, I could use
several Fn Ends to make the screen dimmer.

Well even though it seems brightness is not remembered through cold
power ups, at least nothing from then on until shutdown made the
screen brighter. (I did not test reboot(8), but instead a cold power up.)

Subject: linux-2.6: Kernel supports "only" 32 cpu's
Package: linux-2.6
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

The current Debian kernel supports 32 cpu's according to the
/boot/config file. The
RHEL/CentOS 5 kernel has CONFIG_NR_CPUS set to 255. Any chance the
Debian kernel
parameter can be adjusted to be a bit higher? I assume multi core
machines will
become common hardware during the Lenny lifecycle. 32-bit machines are
expected in
6 months.

Regards,

Rik

could you please check what happened with latest 2.6.25-7 build:
-> http://buildd.debian.org/pkg.cgi?pkg=linux-2.6

no log is turning up and it would be cool to have that soon in
testing for 2.6.26 work.

thanks

The affected package is klaptopdaemon. Since lenny will ship with KDE 3.5.9,
you cannot expect any changes in the internals of this package anymore. KDE
4 is fixed, I think.

The deprecation window from 2.6.24 to 2.6.25 is much too short for these sort
of things. Unless the kernel option breaks major other things, I strongly
suggest you turn it back on. Otherwise Debian lenny with KDE is not going to
be a reasonable option on laptops.
