Patch Pilot Report

[Steve Conklin]

A good days work . . .


Bug #688085 -- Guest kernel hang during boot when KVM is active on i386
host

* Fix has already been released - set to Released


Bug #153768 -- External SATA (eSATA) removable disk detected as
system-internal

* Patch has been rejected once by the upstream maintainer, and the
submitter needs to try again. Set to Incomplete and added comment


Bug #470550 -- uname -p and uname -i reporting `unknown'

*This is a change that doesn't meet our SRU requirements, and would
need to come from upstream. Closed Wontfix.


Bug # 484158 -- Dynamic frequency scaling makes kernel panic (Targa
Traveller 826 / MSI MS-1029)

* Although this is an old bug, it may be due to a driver bug in the way
that DSDT data from the BIOS is handled. Marked as verified and assigned
to Colin King


Bug # 695919 -- Sony F series "assist" and "vaio" buttons not recognized
by sony-laptop

* Upstream patch already arrived in Natty - Set to Fix Released


Bug #692059 -- missing device id for Gobi 2000 in HP mini 5103

Awaiting upstream submissions and/or confirmation of patch
Set to incomplete


Bug #404596 -- failed to allocate wireless device

* This has been fixed in later kernels, but not backported to the
kernels used in Karmic or Lucid. It does not meet SRU criteria, and
there is a workaround available. Set to wontfix


Bug #405197 -- Globetrotter HSUPA Modem not detected unless warm boot
from Windows

* There is a fix in post-lucid kernels, but it has not been released
as a stable update. The patch is too invasive to include without
upstream blessing. I suggested that the patch be submitted to
upstream stable kernel and marked incomplete.


Bug #460857 -- ftdi serial driver broken in
linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic (2.6.31-14.48)

* This is broken upstream and has been for a while. There is not
upstream maintainer for the FTDI driver. The fix has to come from
upstream. Marked incomplete.


Bug # 502751 --  sony-laptop module, Vaio FW series media key (AV Mode)
support broken (patch included)

* This is a small well isolated patch and could be considered as a sauce
patch for Lucid, but only is the reorter is still able to verify it.
I've asked the reporter whether he is able to do this and set
incomplete.


Bug # 49052 -- no hfs+ journal write support by default (gets mounted as
read only)

* This is needs discussion by upstream. The patch isn't really
acceptable for us to include, and the driver it's for may be
unmaintained (no updates in two years). I provided the upstream
maintainer contact information to the reporter and set it to incomplete.
