FC9, "missing syscalls" kernel target, and Promise Fasttrak TX4650 controller
by Philip Prindeville
I was going to build an RPM for the modules for the Promise FastTrak
TX4650 PCI-e RAID controller for FC9.
Their support website claims it's supported "in-box" in FC9, but it
turns out that's not true:
$ lspci -v -s 02:00.0
02:00.0 RAID bus controller: Promise Technology, Inc. Unknown device 3f20
Subsystem: Promise Technology, Inc. Unknown device 3f22
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10
I/O ports at dc00 [size=128]
I/O ports at d800 [size=256]
Memory at fbeff000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
Memory at fbec0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K]
Memory at fbefc000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
Expansion ROM at fbe80000 [disabled] [size=256K]
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [70] Express Legacy Endpoint, MSI 00
Capabilities: [94] SATA HBA <?>
Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting <?>
Capabilities: [140] Virtual Channel <?>
Capabilities: [160] Device Serial Number 01-00-00-00-02-00-00-00
Capabilities: [170] Power Budgeting <?>
so... I downloaded their drivers from their website:
http://www.promise.com/upload/Support/Driver/FT%20TX4650-2650%20Linux%20K...
(Yes, I realize it will taint my kernel... and it doesn't include all of the source.)
I tried to build it, but getting into the kernel directory:
[root@builder 2.6.27.7-53.fc9.x86_64]# pwd
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.27.7-53.fc9.x86_64
[root@builder 2.6.27.7-53.fc9.x86_64]# make oldconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf -o arch/x86/Kconfig
#
# configuration written to .config
#
[root@builder 2.6.27.7-53.fc9.x86_64]# make prepare
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86/Kconfig
CHK include/linux/version.h
CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `missing-syscalls'. Stop.
make: *** [prepare0] Error 2
[root@builder 2.6.27.7-53.fc9.x86_64]#
I noticed that there was a chunk missing from upstream...
Is this a known issue? Reading various archives, it seems to go back to
at least 2.6.23... What's the workaround?
And has anyone else gotten this compiler to build/run on their system?
I'm trying to set up an automated build factory to do about 200 nightly
package builds...
Thanks,
-Philip

Why did you mailed this to me only and not the lists.
O well, i said it in this thread but you probably didn't read it. I
don't blame you.. there are about 250 messages in this thread ^_^
To the subject. I said that i did find ubuntu better then fedora and
that i did use it but i prefer the RPM system and in those
distributions i like fedora the most. My top 2 list is:
1. Fedora
2. Ubuntu
And i keep swapping between those 2. Right now i need fedora because
of a development project and i'm more familiar with rpm then i am with
debs. specially on repairing an RPM issue. repairing a deb issue is a
lot more painful. That's why i use fedora and that's why i don't
switch to another os (for now). I also find rpm to be more flexible to
use then deb but that might be because i didn't do much deb devel
stuff and did rpm devel stuff (rebuilding and making rpms/debs).
The best case for me would be a ubuntu using the rpm structure instead of deb.
btw. lets NOT start flaming about the advantages and disadvantages of
rpm vs deb. i'm well aware of those!
So that's why.

[Fwd: Broken dependencies: livecd-tools]
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi,
If I only involved in the EPEL branch, I don't want to be notified when
the Fedora branch is broken. Does the script take branches into
consideration?

I noticed. I used the cvs-import.sh script that the guidelines told
me. The script identified these files as non-binary for some reason
(bug?).
I removed them and put them in the look-aside cache.
Thanks for the warning

Can we make it so that Bodhi runs automatically?
by Richard W.M. Jones
I know I should make a patch to do this, but ...
Is there any reason why you _wouldn't_ want Bodhi to take an update
automatically after a successful Koji build of a non-Rawhide package?
It's an extra step that I always have to do manually, and I've never
seen a case where I wouldn't want Bodhi to just happen automatically.
Rich.

comps.xml and a new category "Electronics"
by Chitlesh GOORAH
Hello there,
In search to make deployment of "electronic" EDA tools easier. Is it
possible for me to create a new category "Electronics" in comps.xml
(F-11)?
Currently, most of the FEL apps are scattered around in other
categories and making it hard for users to identify those tools.
"Astronomy" already has such a category.
Thereby, I wish that with a category "Electronics" in comps.xml, users
can easily identify the electronic specific rpms on kpackageki.
If there is a special procedure for me to follow in order to get it
done, please let me know.
Kind regards,
Chitlesh
