This is an effort to clean up the bug database. Some of the bugs were filed long ago, so there is a need to update the status on them. I was able to check out some, but there are still quite a lot of them. It would be very nice, if people (especially, authors) would quickly look through the list and update the status. Also feel free to pick some bug from the "Bugs, which can be checked" section and test, whether it is still present, with the latest kernel/binutils/gcc/glibc. Also, how does one change a status of the bug? Do You need some special powers to do so? =========================================================================== Bugs, which probably can be closed (subject to author's approval) Author: Came from an old todo list 57 SMP support - Interrupt Distribution (even CPU loading) w/CONFIG_SMP. Seems like it is working (or at least, supposed to), according to mailing lists. Author: Grant Grundler 75 lba_device_present() not implemented. Inspection of linux/arch/parisc/kernel/lba_pci.c shows, that lba_device_present() is implemented and used. 110 1 sec per 24 hours drift between RTC and kernel. Well, I've seen machines doing worse things than that. I think such drift is acceptable. If needed, one can run ntpdate/hwclock periodically, as suggested in original bug report. Author: Ryan Bradetich 86 palo sets 'console=tty0', but output still goes to serial console instead of STI. This was reported for 712/80. I have such a machine and haven't seen any such problems with recent kernels. Author: Matthew Wilcox 121 User fault on kernel space handler infinite loop. Process, causing the fault does not get killed. Haven't seen any such behaviour with latest kernels. Anyone? 135 Kernel panic doing two simultaneous compiles on 712. Kernel build with "make -j 2" completed without problems. Is it enough? Author: Thomas Marteau 137 Messages in the mailing list archives do not display dates (is this the correct interpretation?). Seems like everything fine with dates now. Author: dannf@dannf.org 139 python and python2 says: "math.sqrt(2.0) == 0.0". Tested it with python-base 1.5.2-16, libc6 2.2.3-9. Everything works correctly now. =========================================================================== Bugs, which are likely to be still open Author: Came from an old todo list. 63 Kernel debugger (KWDB) not implemented. There are a lot of #ifdef CONFIG_KWDB in the sources, but I remeber hearing somewhere, that it is not quite functional yet. I might be wrong though. Author: Matthew Wilcox 35 A lot of things to implement in Documentation/parisc/unwritten. As far as I can tell, most of the stuff is still unimplemented. 82 710 SCSI and LAN are not working. 710 might be working with latest PCXS fixes, but no one has reported a success yet. Someone with a 710 might check this out. Author: Randolph Chung 41 Unimplemented asm checksum routines. Still not implemented. Some of the routines (all?) are mentioned in bug #35. Maybe, they should be merged? Author: R. Scholz 146 STI-Console not working with Coral Graphics Card on 715/100 Author: Paul Bame 124 siginfo_t 32-bit != 64-bit requiring lots of work This is likely to be still open. Author: Matt Taggart 138 palo can't figure out whether kernel is narrow or wide. Temporary workaround is append 32 or 64 to the end of the kernel file name. Is it still open? =========================================================================== Bugs, which can be checked more or less easily (and everyone is encouraged to do so) Author: Came from an old todo list. 66 Not setting CONFIG_GSC_PS2 in the config causes kernel build to fail with undefined references to kbd_read_status, kbd_write_command and kbd_write_output. Author: Paul Bame 88 libgcc.a __udivdi3 uses floating-pt instructions, clash with -mdisable-fpregs 102 The second (actually the first) SCSI controller on C3000 doesn't work. Someone with such a machine should probably check it. 142 drivers/net/dmfe.c won't compile as module -- possible gcc bug. 143 aic7xxx.c won't compile with 64-bit kernel. Author: Richard Hirst 98 64-bit cross-linker does not include millicode functions (shown as undefined by nm). Author: Matther Wilcox 114 __builtin_cos undefined with g77. Should be in libgcc.a? 127 dl-addr fails. As I understand, it's about failed glibc test. 128 posix/glob-test fails. Another glibc test failure? 129 linuxthreads/ex15 fails. And another one? Probably it's a good idea to keep a list of failed tests from the latest glibc CVS builds. Author: Grant Grundler 132 PPP causes trap 15. Workaround: add "nobsdcomp" and "nodeflate" to /etc/ppp/peers/uunet. Now should probably work without any workarounds. Author: Peter Mottram 134 Installation of 0.9 release crashes on C110 with serial console. 0.9.2 was a major improvement, compared to 0.9. Anyone with such a machine care to check this? Author: Kevin Carson 141 Problem with A2840B keyboard during installation of 0.9.1 release on a C160 with STI console. Keyboard does not produce any input, once the installation program has started. Other keyboard worked fine. Anybody with this combination of hardware willing to check? =========================================================================== All other bugs (unknown status, irreproducible, uncheckable, unknown how to check, etc.). Some feedback from authors would be great. Author: Came from the old todo list 46 Create an IO tree to support multiple I/O MMUs. 62 64-bit kernel - Do the right thing with macro elf_check_arch(). Anybody knows, what the "right thing" is? :-). Was it done already? The referenced posts are not very enlightening. Author: Matthew Wilcox 37 STI console does not display early enough. 92 Machine sometimes won't boot after interacting with IPL and editing the load options. 119 long double is 64 bit. Some glibc tests fail since they assume 128 bit for long double on hppa. Author: Paul Bame 123 ntpdate -b fails to set sub-second clock. Apparently, ntpdate problem. Author: Grant Grundler 130 iosapic allocs extra EIR bit for shared IRQ line. Harmless, according to the original bug report. Author: Richard Hirst 136 The installer leaves the kernel in /boot/vmlinux-2.4.0, but a kernel upgrade, via dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.0-pa30-32sti_2.4.0_hppa.deb will leave the new kernel in /boot/vmlinux-2.4.0-pa30. Either /etc/palo.conf needs to get updated to reference the new kernel, or we need to use symlinks in /boot, and the symlink needs updating. 145 store iplboot in /usr/lib/palo/iplboot on non-hppa systems? Author: Randolph Chung 140 IDE support. It is not a bug :-), just Randolph volunteering to do something about it. =========================================================================== Best regards, Jurij.
