[arch-general] kernel 3.6 feedback
kernel 3.6-1 testing report: I am running 3.6 from testing on 3 machines. 1 laptop and 2 desktops. All are fully updated from testing repo. 1 of the desktop didn't come up right - seemed to have trouble with root filesystem (initiscripts still not systemd). On second reboot it came up fine. No logs obviously - will report if any further issues arise. Could be a coincidental hardware problem I suppose. Other desktop and laptop are both totally fine. laptop has intel on board graphics and sandy bridge i7 with intel 6300 wifi (lenovo w520). gene

What hardware (processor/graphics/architecture) was the machine that had the boot problem with 3.6? Maybe anyone else with the same hardware might be able to confirm if a similar problem has been seen? Might just help. -- mike c
I'm suffering from this regression: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/26/53 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47961 which causes my HDA intel sound to be distorted and cracky. Reverting the change mentioned in the LKML thread fixes it. I already mailed the Arch linux kernel maintainer about it. I'm fairly sure that this fix should land in 3.6.1, but because I didn't want to wait I patched my kernel myself... On Wed, Oct 3, 2012 at 5:21 PM, mike cloaked <mike.cloaked@gmail.com> wrote:

X86_64 on Intel7 NVIDIA video card btrfs systemd Booting fine and overall system OK.
I have not been hit by this - but there is some buzz around the symlink security addition - see this thread for more details: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/3/473 gene
There is also some noise around udev as well and firmware loading: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/2/194 (it's a bit of a long thread) gene

For those not following the entire thread - there seems to be some debate about firmware loading in udev vs in kernel space and some recent changes leading to some problems. Best I can tell, while there may be issues in specific drivers, one symptom is a delayed boot (10-30 secs). It seems likely this issue is only effecting a subset of systems. Work is being done and it looks like this will be quickly improved quite soon and presumably find its way quickly to in 3.6.1. gene/

Arch is not affected as we revert the udev commit. Tom
