Date: Sat, 18 Jun 2011 16:11:20 -0400 From: "werner" <w.landgraf@...ru> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org> Subject: 3.0 version number: good to make links ; linux utils: correct fdisk, rdev I read people have problems with the 3.0 vs. 3.0.0 kernel version. I also think that the version of the package and internelly that of the kernel should be equal. However, that's not a real problem. It's suficient to make just links. With this, everything works completely normal, also depmod etc. , since 3.0-rc1 Although this is trivial, because of the big discusion about this, one should tell this the people. Simply put in the kernel slackbuild script, to make such links, always if the package / source .bz2 number is diferent to the version number in makefile. Also in the kernel source makefile should be included to make auch links automatically always if the package and kernel version numbers are different. What however seems to be removed from the linux kernel tools, is rdev . That should be put back, because that's important, specially for building distro kernels, to put in vmlinuz the bootdev to 0x80 and videomod 0 as default (and also for the installer on the user's computer, which adapt it to the user's computer) There is a next problem that recent versions of fdisk starts only with sector 2048 for the 1st partition. This gives problems, because some systems needs to start with sector 63 or 129. This also should be return as it was. wl in /usr/src: 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jun 14 00:55 linux-3 -> linux-3.0-rc3-i486-1sys 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jun 14 00:55 linux-3.0 -> linux-3.0-rc3-i486-1sys 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 14 01:16 linux-3.0-rc2-i486-1sys 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jun 14 00:55 linux-3.0-rc3 -> linux-3.0-rc3-i486-1sys 4 drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Jun 14 00:55 linux-3.0-rc3-i486-1sys 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jun 14 00:55 linux-3.0.0 -> linux-3.0-rc3-i486-1sys 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jun 14 00:55 linux-3.0.0-rc3 -> linux-3.0-rc3-i486-1sys 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jun 14 00:55 linux-3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys -> linux-3.0-rc3-i486-1sys in /lib/modules 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jun 14 00:55 3 -> 3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Jun 14 00:55 3.0 -> /lib/modules/3.0-rc3-i486-1sys 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jun 14 00:55 3.0-rc3 -> 3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jun 14 00:55 3.0-rc3-i486-1sys -> 3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jun 14 00:55 3.0.0 -> 3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jun 14 00:55 3.0.0-rc3 -> 3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys 4 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 14 22:09 3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys bash-4.1# depmod -av | less WARNING: terminal is not fully functional /lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/bluecard_cs.ko needs "hci_free_dev": /lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/net/bluetooth/bluetooth.ko /lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/bluecard_cs.ko needs "hci_alloc_dev": /lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/net/bluetooth/bluetooth.ko /lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/bluecard_cs.ko needs "hci_unregister_ dev": /lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/net/bluetooth/bluetooth.ko /lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/bluecard_cs.ko needs "hci_recv_frame" : /lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/net/bluetooth/bluetooth.ko /lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/bluecard_cs.ko needs "hci_register_de v": /lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/net/bluetooth/bluetooth.ko /lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/bfusb.ko needs "hci_free_dev": /lib/m odules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/net/bluetooth/bluetooth.ko /lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/bfusb.ko needs "hci_alloc_dev": /lib/ modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/net/bluetooth/bluetooth.ko /lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/bfusb.ko needs "hci_unregister_dev": /lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/net/bluetooth/bluetooth.ko /lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/bfusb.ko needs "hci_recv_frame": /lib /modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/net/bluetooth/bluetooth.ko /lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/bfusb.ko needs "hci_register_dev": /l ib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/net/bluetooth/bluetooth.ko /lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.ko needs "hci_free_dev": /lib/m odules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/net/bluetooth/bluetooth.ko /lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.ko needs "hci_alloc_dev": /lib/ modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/net/bluetooth/bluetooth.ko /lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.ko needs "hci_unregister_dev": /lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/net/bluetooth/bluetooth.ko /lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.ko needs "hci_recv_fragment": / lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/net/bluetooth/bluetooth.ko /lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.ko needs "hci_register_dev": /l ib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/net/bluetooth/bluetooth.ko /lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-i486-1sys/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/btmrvl.ko needs "hci_free_dev": /lib/ bash-4.1# (only the first lines, via konsole) --- Professional hosting for everyone - http://www.host.ru -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
