Kernel 3.11-4 dosn't recognize devices

[Simon K]

I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 and upgraded from kernel "3.9.0-4-generic" to "3.11.0-4-generic" on my Notebook (hp tm2-2010eg).

This is a Ubuntu kernel regression going from 3.9.0-4-generic to 3.9.0-5-generic.

What was not recognized:
 - LAN/Ethernet:

 - Bluetooth:

What was not tested:
 - Any other USB-Devices (including usb-sticks, the build-in webcam and my finger-print reader)

What is (still) working:
 - GPUs (it detected both GPUs: Intel and AMD)
 - Monitors (it detected the right number of Monitors [I've an open bug-report regarding the mal-detection in other Kernels])
 - Touchpad
 - Keyboard

This symptom does not happen in 3.9.0-4-generic. I haven't tried any Ubuntu-Kernel between 3.9.0-4 and 3.11.0-4 jet.
But I tried Mainline-Kernel 3.11 rc5 ("linux-image-3.11.0-031100rc5-generic_3.11.0-031100rc5.201308112135_amd64"). The symptoms didn't happen there.

So: It's either a Ubuntu-Kernel configuration or
It was introduced between 3.11 rc5 and 3.11.0-4

Simon K, could you please provide the full computer model as noted on the sticker?

[Simon K (octav14n)]

The product ID is WN867EA#ABD
it is labeled tm2-1110eg, this product however is only sold by Amazon Germany. I think it is a rebranded tm2-2010eg (Id: WN867EA)

that said, I have the latest BIOS- version (F25) and HP does not offer official driver support for Linux on this notebook.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Simon K, the next step is to bisect between 3.9.0-4-generic and 3.11.0-4-generic, in order to identify the offending commit. Could you please do this via https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection ?

[Simon K (octav14n)]

It seems like I make something wrong trying to bisect...
And before I'm going to bisect the Ubuntu-Git, I would like to know if I made mistakes at the "Download-Bisect".

Steps:
1. I've downloaded
"linux-image-<version>-generic-<version>_amd64.deb" and
"linux-headers-<version>-generic-<version>_amd64.deb"

from the links provided by:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/linux

2. I installed them all by executing:
$ sudo dpkg -i ./Downloads/linux-*.deb

3. After that I rebooted into the entrys via GRUB:
"Previous Linux Versions" (I think that it is called this in English)
"Ubuntu, with Linux <version> (on /dev/sda1)"

If I made everything right however this means: Kernel 3.9.0-4-generic is the last Ubuntu-Kernel which recognizes my Hardware.

A short overview of tested (Ubuntu-)Kernels and the outcome:
3.9.0-4-generic - Bug: No
3.9.0-5-generic - Bug: Yes
3.9.0-6-generic - Bug: Yes
3.9.0-7-generic - Bug: Yes
3.10.0-0-generic - Bug: Yes
3.11.0-1-generic - Bug: Yes

If its any help I've linked dmesgs of kernels with- and without the bug, and lsmods with- and without the bug.

[Julian Wiedmann (jwiedmann)]

You're probably missing the corresponding linux-image-extra-* package.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Simon K, the next step is to commit bisect between 3.9.0-4-generic and 3.9.0-5-generic, in order to identify the commit that caused the regression following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection#Commit_bisecting_Ubuntu_kernel_versions .

[Simon K (octav14n)]

Wow, now I'm ashamed...

After searching for "linux-image-extra-*" i looked through synaptics and saw that this package wasn't installed for the actual kernel I reported the bug against (3.11.0-4).

So this is Bug is no Bug but a fail by the operator. After installing the linux-image-extra for the most actual kernel, it is running as fine as the kernels before.

So: Sorry Christopher for wasting your time (Actually I learned how to debug a few other kernel-bugs I have, so its no waste...) and thanks Julian for pointing me to this stupid missing packet.
