[Devil-Linux-discuss] 1.4 RC1 - bugs

[Marcello D. <m.d...@st...>]

After some testing with the above version on an Alix.2C board I've found
a few bugs:

install-on-usb:

1) configure_serial_console() is broken. At line 502 it tries to create
a tar including a "root" dir  which doesn't exist. So the line:
tar -C $TMPDIR/etc-for-mods -c -j -f $TMPDIR/etc-mnt/etc-mods.tar.bz2.new  etc-mods root ...
should be modified in:
tar -C $TMPDIR/etc-for-mods -c -j -f $TMPDIR/etc-mnt/etc-mods.tar.bz2.new  etc-mods ...

2) the second call at $grub_shell in install_grub() procedure at line
221 causes a segmentation fault on Ubuntu 9.04 x86_64 and Ubuntu 8.04
x86. I didn't try on other distributions.


kernel:
the cs5536 driver (which is the NEW driver for the Alix board ide
controller) is broken in kernel 2.6.29.2 and it has been fixed in
2.6.29.3. A CVS build (which includes kernel 2.6.29.4) fixes the issue.
I'm reporting it just to let other Alix users know it.
