vanilla-sources 2.6.12-rc4 warning [SOLVED] in 2.6.12-rc5

[Cintra]

Anyone thinking of trying this soon should make sure of a good backup first.

I tried it first on my jfs gentoo partition, did my usual make oldconfig, answered the one or two differences between -rc4 and -rc3 config and tried it.

Lots of printouts during boot, logged in to kde OK, but none of my usual partitions had mounted or were mountable. Compared rc4's .config with rc3 and they were identical but for a new printk= and bug= option in Kernel hacking.

Tried to reboot.. no go, had to reset. Rebooted to console only this time.

Restored partition!

I had a few Ext3 journal issues too. For some reason something tried to mount /home and /usr readonly while they were in heavy use. A reboot+fsck fixed that though. Very odd. *shrug*

[Cintra]

I was unable to use rc3 after the above, thats why a restore was made. At least I know my jfs backup restores OK now

Am in the process of updating rc3 again with -uD world and will try again when that checks OK, and has been backed up..

Edit: Ok, I re-emerged 2.6.12-rc4 and tried again - the following is the error from dmesg.. hopefully it will mean something to someone.
Btw just to emphasise, this happens on a JFS partition. Haven't tried one of my reiser partitions yet..

After the errors, the system loads KDE OK, but reiser partitions are unmountable.
Rebooting, doesn't
But fsck -t jfs /dev/hdb3 works OK..

I had a few Ext3 journal issues too. For some reason something tried to mount /home and /usr readonly while they were in heavy use. A reboot+fsck fixed that though. Very odd. *shrug*

Do you have any reiserfs partitions?

Do you have any reiserfs partitions?mvh

Nope. All eight of my partitions are Ext3. Perhaps this a ReiserFS-specific occurence?

[Cintra]

Third time lucky..

Looking through dmesg I decided to turn off the following which were set:

Code: Select all

# CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK is not set
# CONFIG_REISERFS_PROC_INFO is not set

At the same time I unmerged cryptsetup and device-mapper which I no longer saw a need for, and this time 2.6.12-rc4 came straight up.

I'll take some time tomorrow to find out which of these was the real cause..
Mvh

Edit: 1) re-emerged cryptsetup and device-mapper, rebooted, no problem, removed them again.
2) CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK=y was compiled in again, and the same problem returned <<
[Bug 91968] http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91968

Edit 3: Added to the above bug ..on 2.6.12-rc4 when

Code: Select all

CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO=y 

my voip handset no longer works, however, using

Code: Select all

CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO=m

all is well.

NB! 2.6.12-rc3 works OK with =y

Thanks Cintra, I had a ReiserFS 3 root partition which would not mount and this worked for me. As soon as I unset ReiserFS debugging everything started fine.

Thanks for the feedback Dr. Z..
I haven't tried with debug on my reiser root partitions yet, fearing worse than I experienced on my JFS root partition. Good to hear it wasn't a catastrophe

[Cintra]

vanilla-sources-2.6.12-rc5 has fixed the above problem
I'm running with CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK=y again OK
