unable to use dpkg 2.6.15-rc2

From: Lawrence Walton
Date: Sun Nov 20 2005 - 02:54:19 EST


Hi!

This is the second report of this error.

It's reproducible in 2.6.15-rc1, 2.6.15-rc1-mm1, 2.6.15-rc1-mm2 and
2.6.15-rc2.

It does not occur in 2.6.14.

Most easily triggered by "make clean" in the Linux source, for those of
you without access to dpkg. But both clean and dpkg will trigger it.

There are no oops.

I'm not sure what to report next, though If I were to guess it is a
interaction between XFS file system and SCSI. I've got another SCSI box
that is very similar that runs rc1, rc1-mm1 and rc1-mm2 just fine, the
only real difference being it has a ext3 file system instead.

The driver for the SCSI card (aic7xxx) did not appear change.
lspi says it's a Adaptec AIC-7892A U160/m (rev 2) card.

XFS looks like it's had extensive changes from 14 to 15-rc2.
There are many debugging options I could enable, but to be honest I'm not
sure what would be applicable in this circumstance.

Nothing in dmesg looks out of the ordinary.
Included version info, cpuinfo, module info, driver info (/proc/ioports /proc/iomem) pci info.

Questions, patches, flames are welcome.







If some fields are empty or look unusual you may have an old version.
Compare to the current minimal requirements in Documentation/Changes.
