Hi! I have tried a current kernel built from Linus' tree today on one of the BL860c blades we use as buildds in Debian and it turns out with just three fixes applied [1-3], the kernel works just fine: root@lenz:~# dmesg|head -n20 [ 0.000000] Linux version 5.12.0-rc4-00007-g572c09e775f7 (root@lenz) (gcc (Debian 10.2.1-6+b1) 10.2.1 20210110, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.35.2) #2 SMP Tue Mar 23 14:29:21 UTC 2021 [ 0.000000] efi: EFI v2.30 by HP [ 0.000000] efi: SALsystab=0xffdbff918 ESI=0xffdbffe18 ACPI 2.0=0x391a8014 HCDP=0xfffff8f18 SMBIOS=0x3914a000 [ 0.000000] PCDP: v3 at 0xfffff8f18 [ 0.000000] earlycon: uart8250 at I/O port 0x2320 (options '115200n8') [ 0.000000] printk: bootconsole [uart8250] enabled [ 0.000000] ACPI: Early table checksum verification disabled [ 0.000000] ACPI: RSDP 0x00000000391A8014 000024 (v02 HP ) [ 0.000000] ACPI: XSDT 0x00000000391A8580 000124 (v01 HP BL860C-4 00000001 01000013) [ 0.000000] ACPI: FACP 0x00000000391A2000 0000F4 (v03 HP BL860C-4 00000001 HP 00000001) [ 0.000000] ACPI BIOS Warning (bug): Invalid length for FADT/Pm1aEventBlock: 16, using default 32 (20210105/tbfadt-669) [ 0.000000] ACPI BIOS Warning (bug): Invalid length for FADT/Pm1aControlBlock: 32, using default 16 (20210105/tbfadt-669) [ 0.000000] ACPI: DSDT 0x0000000039188000 009FFD (v02 HP BL860C-4 00000008 INTL 20061109) [ 0.000000] ACPI: FACS 0x00000000391A4000 000040 [ 0.000000] ACPI: FACS 0x00000000391A4000 000040 [ 0.000000] ACPI: APIC 0x00000000391A6000 0001CC (v01 HP BL860C-4 00000001 HP 00000001) [ 0.000000] ACPI: SPCR 0x00000000391A0000 000050 (v01 HP BL860C-4 00000001 HP 00000001) [ 0.000000] ACPI: SRAT 0x000000003919E000 000348 (v02 HP BL860C-4 00000001 HP 00000001) [ 0.000000] ACPI: SLIT 0x000000003919C000 00003C (v01 HP BL860C-4 00000001 HP 00000001) [ 0.000000] ACPI: CPEP 0x000000003919A000 000034 (v01 HP BL860C-4 00000001 HP 00000001) root@lenz:~# The previously reported regression [4] has magically fixed itself. Once the patches [1-3] have been merged - in one form or another - we just need to fix the issue Ben Hutchings reported for zstd compression [5] and we can build and use regular Debian distribution kernels on all ia64 machines again.
