Hello, Andy: Have you planned to release rebased patched against kernel.org 2.6.32 kernel? Debian folks are going to release their next release with 2.6.32 kernel, and they''re looking for patches.. OpenSUSE kotd seems to have patches available.. -- Pasi _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

For some reason when using xen patched 2.6.32.9 I can be typing on tty console and it will randomly repeat one of the characters that I type 3-4 times. (ie. xm lisssst / sudddo -s etc.) I tried using kbdrate settings but did not have any luck.

Re: [Xen-users] Rebased patch set xen-patches-2.6.32-1.tar.bz2
Hello, I''ve been trying pvops kernel, but also took a look at these rebased patches... I''ve applied them to 2.6.32.12 and they apply cleanly, but I get this error on compilation...

Re: [Xen-users] Rebased patch set xen-patches-2.6.32-1.tar.bz2
I never seen the build failure without Fajar''s patch, but did you also apply his patch? I had no issues building the kernel. I still can''t use it because of the previously mentioned keyboard problem I''m having, but that''s another story.

Re: [Xen-users] Rebased patch set xen-patches-2.6.32-1.tar.bz2
Hello again, I haven''t applied Fajar''s patch, but I''m trying again this time with kernel 2.6.32.11. It is still building, but the problem seems to have gone away. I found a commit in 2.6.32 changelog that seems to be the source of my problems (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.32.y.git;a=commit;h=a7b480e7f30b3813353ec009f10f2ac7a6669f3b)... Any suggestions on how to patch this problem away?

Re: [Xen-users] Rebased patch set xen-patches-2.6.32-1.tar.bz2
Hello, Patching is needed for building 2.6.32.11, but it should revert commit 14be1f7454ea96ee614467a49cf018a1a383b189 (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.32.y.git;a=commit;h=14be1f7454ea96ee614467a49cf018a1a383b189). Fajar''s patch comments two lines and it should only comment the first one. From what I could understand, doing this will open a problem when working with UV systems (I don''t know what they are...), but should be ok otherwise. If anyone has a better patch (or could share some light to what UV systems are) please come forward! ;) On Tue, 2010-05-11 at 14:52 +0100, Luís Silva wrote:> Hello again, > > I haven''t applied Fajar''s patch, but I''m trying again this time with > kernel 2.6.32.11.
