arm/ia64/sh stable
amd64 stable for both, thanks Victor (also proxy commit for gentoofan23)
x86 stable
Both stable for HPPA.
ppc stable
ppc64 done
Could someone please test this on sparc?
If people specify "data-ordered" within /etc/fstab /dev/sda2 / ext3 noatime,data=ordered 0 0 And their kernel config for 2.6.30 has: # CONFIG_EXT3_DEFAULTS_TO_ORDERED is not set The system will not boot if their root is on this ext3fs. (Also, I'll try later tonight without loading (the latest) nvidia-drivers-185.18.31 binary driver, but I'm getting system hard locks. Due to the lack of info in the logs, I can likely guess it's an nvidia issue. Will follow-up by tomorrow morning if I can.)
I've got my box hooked via serial cables as 2.6.30 froze again last night w/o nvidia driver loaded. Right now, my bet is on a corrupted file or file system error, which in turn was caused by booting 2.6.30 with ext3 option "data=ordered" in fstab. To me, it's something that seems conflicting. I'll leave it on again tonight and hopefully I'll catch something via serial cable. And then reload the binary nvidia driver later. I'll post back w/i the next few days to confirm whether I still have uptime, or am still freezing, along with a more conclusive cause.
I think I've got this hard freeze somewhat nailed down. The later releases of 2.6.29 kernel versions included some heavy patching to e100.c which initially broke wake on lan function. Then things got really bad with further heavier patching to e100.c (from memory, a lot of eprom stuff). Now, 2.6.30 e100.c totally borks the kernel from apparently this dmesg logging I got just prior to a hard kernel freeze with nvidia binary driver unloaded, using Xorg nv driver.
Created attachment 201292 [details] Likely possible culprit of kernel 2.6.30 hard freeze Likely possible culprit of kernel 2.6.30 hard freeze. The severity of this bug, or any of it's errors are seen in <=2.6.29. I'm looking specifically at the unusual presence of the following: e100: eth0 NIC Link is Down Aug 14 16:52:35 localhost2 e100: eth0 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Half Duplex Aug 14 16:53:03 localhost2 e100: eth0 NIC Link is Down Aug 14 16:53:07 localhost2 e100: eth0 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Half Duplex Aug 14 17:01:02 localhost2 e100: eth0 NIC Link is Down If I find this is the culprit, I'm going to be ticked at the person submitting unstable code to the e100.c file! ... then again, not like I'm submitting any. :-/
btw, this is a hard freeze. Even console via serial is frozen.
I had 2.6.30-r4 up for 16+ hours overnight and today, while compiling e100.c as module and then blacklisting it. Of course this omitted starting a lot of init level services, but due to all the unstable patches submitted to this driver since the beginning of 2.6.29, I'm pretty certain at this point the cause for all of my hard system freezes were due to e100.c. I could likely easily copy in 2.6.29 e100.c into 2.6.30, but I don't have anymore time until winter to further debug. Another issue I ran into with 2.6.30, is auto power-off. Or something init wise is hanging power off. All this, including the trivial awkwardness of 2.6.30 not being able to boot with data=ordered in fstab (with ordered ext3 feature turned-off in the kernel) makes it extremely unstable. But in another sense, when it was totally unstable on my i440bx platforms here, it appears stable on my i815 laptop platform. Which leaves me guessing if there aren't any chipset/pci bugs not found yet?
Can't be done on sparc due to bug 272676
g-s 2.6.30-r4 was already stable on alpha and v-s 30.3 now is.
sparc stable, closing
