I have one RTL2830 driver 3.12 regression. I suspect it is coming from I2C changes, but problem is here that I2C subsystem maintainer has not answered to mails.... [11:07am] crope_: it is that https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3079491/ [11:07am] crope_: maybe it could be still safe to marge that patch even I am not sure why it is needed [11:16am] dddtest_e9d3d joined the chat room. [11:24am] mchehab: crope_: hmm... khali is on this channel [11:27am] mchehab: if just re-adding "priv->tuner_i2c_adapter.dev.parent = &i2c->dev;" is enough to fix it, go for it [11:37am] crope_: mchehab: I2C maitainer *just* replied [11:37am] crope_: and he says there should be parent, but it is unclear why it has not been crashed earli...

My Headless home server (Seagate Dockstar) doesn't have a standard boot manager. It simply boots a uBoot image, either from it's NAND or from an external HDD. All this is set up in it's BIOS. Unfortunately it doesn't have a iLO/DRAC/SIMC/IPMI so that I can control the BIOS over a network connection. Anyway, this amazingly cheap/"low power" device comes with a crippled OS and I like ArchLinux ARM a lot better. Since ALARM (short for ArchLinux ARM) doesn't fit in the small NAND I have to setup the BIOS to point it to an external USB device. But there's a downside to this. Since the PlugPC has 4 USB ports and since the HDD's don't always take the same amount of time handshaking with the BIOS on boot-up, what happens is that sometimes disk A is sda and disk B is sdb but some other times disk A is sdb and disk B is sda. Rather confusing...for us and for the small server too. And worst of all, when the change happens the device won't boot u...
