• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mike Pagano 2012-03-22 23:48:59 UTC]

No widespread outstanding issues exist at this time. Please test and stabilize these two kernel versions. Thanks, arch teams.

amd64: 

=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.2.12 works fine so far

[Comment 2 Mikle Kolyada (RETIRED) 2012-03-23 06:13:16 UTC]

x86:

=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.2.12: install && compile && boot fine, without problems

[Comment 3 Agostino Sarubbo 2012-03-24 11:13:36 UTC]

amd64 stable

[Comment 4 Bernd Glueckert 2012-03-25 01:04:10 UTC]

amd64 - some problems with freezing system

I've changed to 3.2.12 and following problem occurs:

during large write access (about 20 GByte) to a soft raid5 array the copying process freezes, there is no disk access and no cpu load, system is not rebootable via shutdown, after reboot the raid5 array is not working.

after this I have switched back to 3.2.1-gentoo-r2 and all works fine


the problem is reproducable.

=sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-3.2.12: emerging and compile and boot WORK!
x86 stable

[Comment 6 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2012-04-04 19:36:08 UTC]

Stable for HPPA.

[Comment 7 Markus Meier 2012-04-06 10:20:08 UTC]

arm stable

[Comment 8 Max Loparev 2012-04-14 12:21:40 UTC]

Compile & boot from three people with unknown configuration and usage pattern is that really enough to stabilize the kernel in gentoo currently?

ok on mine DP67BG and i2600k with lvm it drops to kernel panic on boot. It's first kernel panic for me for 3 or maybe 5 years, i changes several hw setups during this period and now it kernel panic on the STABLE kernel, really?!
I really think that the STABLE kernels should be tested somehow, not just randomly bumped.

3.2.1-r2 and 3.3.1 works fine.

x86 stable, thanks Mikle and King-Infet

Upgrading from gentoo-sources-3.1 to gentoo-sources-3.2 results in Intel e100 network not working here.  The e100 modules loads fine, but ifconfig does not show a eth0 (PCI) network device.  As such, I've masked gentoo-sources-3.2 since it was marked stable.

[Comment 11 Roger 2012-04-25 06:26:04 UTC]

I've made a quick note of this e100 issue within a presently open e1000 bug which looks strangely similar but could be different.

This is definitely not stable for me and needs a workaround to work with my mainboard/cdrom (GIGABYTE + IDE) setup.

https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/ChangeLog-3.2.14
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/29030

this was introduced by 3.2.12 and seems to be fixed since 3.3.1.

Another one issue with this mentioned here https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/19/227 and her http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-acpi/msg34925.html - I can't boot gentoo-sources-3.2.12 on my GA-Z68X-UD4-B3 because of this bug.

[Comment 14 Mike Pagano 2012-06-20 22:57:01 UTC]

This patch identified is in  3.2.14. I will close this and open a stablereq for 3.2.21.
