Re: AX.25 Debian bug report
Hi Ralf,
Damn, I thought the source code reading times where over ;-)
Back to business, I am not sure what is happening in glibc. I only
know one thing, the <netax5/ax25.h>, <netrom/netrom.h> and
<netrose/rose.h> are not the same as the ones from the 2.6 kernel in
<linux/ax25.h>, <linux/netrom.h> and <linux/rose.h>. A quick scan of
the Makefile concluded me that these files in glibc where linked to
<bits/syscall.h> or another one.
Perhaps I am naive and a purist, but the files are incorrect. This
concluded for me that the files in glibc need to updated. As a
consequence the libax25 and its dependencies, needs also an update.
At this moment my system is running stable for 4 days, with a 2.4
kernel. With 2.6 kernel it crashed after more or less 16 hours.
Returning on the source code reading! Random call checking in libax25
and the kernel concluded me that most things are in order, accept
netromd and nrattach.
$ netromd uses obsolete (PF_INET,SOCK_PACKET)
The biggest change I found between 2.4 and 2.6 are in the mkiss and
bqpether module.
So I think, I have to file a new bug report that the mkiss module is
not stable in my situation. Where it is used as a loop device through
internet.
I am running an etch system, with all the ham related packages. The
only thing I changed is that I installed the last 2.4 kernel-image
from sarge, with its dependencies from etch.
Greetings, Arjan
