where to file a kernel bug?
ive got this problem with kernel 2.6.31-rc2 and above (dont know since when it started happening) where the following error makes scripts fail when run withough a console
/bin/stty: standard input: Inappropriate ioctl for device dbusthis does not happen with kernel 2.6.30
this makes that /etc/rc.d/net-auto fails during bootup, and scripts when resuming from suspend.
i also believe its the culprit of my problem here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=75919
can anyone help me debug this, and provide the needed info for the kernel people in the right place?

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: where to file a kernel bug?
yes, i know, but i dont know against what package to file it, tried filling out the form, didnt help much 
@pyther: this happens with 2.6.31 since rc2 (never used rc1). i guess the first sensible step would be to build rc1 and test against it. is this correct?

Re: where to file a kernel bug?
Did you ever build 2.6.30 yourself with this same config or were you using standard Arch kernel before?
If you were using standard kernel, I'd first check if 2.6.30 works with your custom config. Maybe it is just something you forgot to turn on on the config.
If 2.6.30 worked on this same config, then it is probably a kernel regression. You might want to ask on LKML (linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org) about it first. I guess it's easier/faster to ask there first before opening a bug report.

i used abs to pick the standard config, and removed drivers i didnt need. the rest of the settings were left unchanged (i915 built into the kernel).
new options where left as default except for new drivers which i did not build.
im already subscribed to the LKML, will try to grab all the debuging info i can before posting... i even pinged the netcfg2 dev since that package is the one bringing me issues (which uses iwlist which requires outputs to a tty).
