[12:31] <zul> heylo
[12:32] <jbailey> Hmmm.  I need to figure out what screensaver it is that makes my X go nuts.
[12:33] <zul> x locks up on you too with screensavers eh?
[12:36] <jbailey> Not locks, but becomes pretty unusable for 5-6 minutes.
[12:36] <jbailey> It seems to clear up if I'm patient.
[12:37] <zul> some screensavers use to lock up my X :(
[12:43] <zul> crud..
[12:43] <zul> [4295151.702000]  acx_pci: Unknown symbol acx_check_file
[01:00] <kylem> heh.
[01:02] <jbailey> I want to see if the devmapper upload fixed lvm2, but I don't know how often the auto-giveback triggers.
[01:16] <T-Bone> b00h
[02:57] <Drako60> can anyone help me out
[05:11] <zul> hmmm..
[07:44] <fabbione> morning
[08:20] <fabbione> dilinger: ping?
[10:21] <dholbach> hey
[10:22] <Mithrandir> hi daniel
[10:22] <dholbach> the new kernel on p.u.c/~fabbione behaves badly, at least that's what i suspect to go wrong
[10:22] <dholbach> the box just 'rebooted' after 30m of usage
[10:22] <dholbach> i'm talking about the k8 one
[10:23] <dholbach> 2.6.10-5-amd64-k8 now runs fine for 1h25m
[10:23] <dholbach> the syslog unfortunately didn't give any evidence 
[10:24] <dholbach> so if there's anything i can test for you...
[10:24] <Mithrandir> hmm
[10:24] <Mithrandir> fabbione is off today due to public holiday in .dk
[10:24] <Mithrandir> (ascension day)
[10:24] <dholbach> ahhhh ok
[10:25] <dholbach> then i'll continue complaining tomorrow :-)
[10:26] <dholbach> thanks
[10:26] <Mithrandir> I haven't had the time to test the kernel yet
[10:26] <Mithrandir> but I'll see if I can reproduce what you saw.
[11:30] <fabbione> dholbach: you can complain as much as you want.. that kernel is not even in the archive yet....
[11:30] <fabbione> + it will land in universe for a while
[11:30] <fabbione> so basically.. you are d00m3e
[11:31] <fabbione> so basically.. you are d00m3d
[11:31] <dholbach> i just wanted to test it for you
[11:31] <fabbione> dholbach: die die die die! :P
[11:33] <dholbach> i won't do you that favour that fast
[02:36] <dilinger> fabbione: pong
[03:10] <svenl> hi guys.
[03:10] <svenl> Could you please remove the root=/dev/sda2 or whatever default command line option in the kernel some time ? 
[03:18] <mjg59> On ppc?
[03:22] <svenl> yep.
[03:23] <mjg59> Doesn't it get overridden?
[03:23] <svenl> it is supposedly a thing for prep machines, to overcome the problem with prep not having a boot loader, but breaks the installer if you don't specify any argument.
[03:23] <mjg59> Shouldn't the installer be providing an argument?
[03:23] <svenl> mjg59: only if you specify a none empty kernel command line argument.
[03:23] <mjg59> Yes...
[03:24] <svenl> mjg59: well, yaboot.conf does, but we don't need that on pegasos, so i just call it directly.
[03:24] <svenl> This works fine on debian, but breaks on ubuntu.
[03:24] <mjg59> I'm sorry, I don't quite understand the problem
[03:24] <svenl> so please remove that bogus default command line entry.
[03:24] <mjg59> How's it supposed to work if there's no root parameter?
[03:24] <svenl> mjg59: i netboot the hoary ubuntu-installer.
[03:24] <svenl> mjg59: it magically revert to /dev/ram.
[03:25] <mjg59> svenl: Uh. Since when?
[03:25] <mjg59> That's not historic behaviour
[03:25] <svenl> mjg59: in debian-installer, probably since almost a year now.
[03:25] <svenl> mjg59: i believe it is some d-i feature, not some kernel stuff, but i may be wrong.
[03:26] <mjg59> Ah, ok, that sounds like it makes more sense
[03:27] <svenl> mjg59: but the default command line root= arg breaks it, and it is not like if ubuntu supports prep, so i would just remoe it.
[03:53] <zul> g'day
[03:54] <zul> highmem runs fine although my usb key wouldnt mount although i was using some funky file system on it
[04:07] <fabbione> zul: on what machine did you try?
[04:10] <zul> fabbione: my machine at home p4 2.4 1 GB of ram
[04:11] <fabbione> *cough*
[04:11] <zul> i suck?
[04:11] <fabbione> you need to test that kernel with 486/586 and with different RAM combinantions
[04:11] <fabbione> < 1Gb, 1 Gb and > 1Gb
[04:12] <zul> okie dokie...ill test it on my laptop then
[04:12] <fabbione> sure no rush
[04:12] <fabbione> i plan to upload sometimes during monday
[04:12] <zul> damn it...dont have that either..sigh...
[04:12] <fabbione> even if sparc is totally doomed
[04:12] <zul> whats wrong with sparc now?
[04:13] <fabbione> nothing wrong with sparc
[04:13] <fabbione> it's 12rc3 that is d00m3d on sparc
[04:13] <zul> then why is it doomed?
[04:13] <zul> ah..ok
[04:14] <fabbione> *** Warning: "" [sound/synth/snd-util-mem.ko]  undefined!
[04:14] <fabbione> *** Warning: "current_thread_info_reg" [sound/synth/snd-util-mem.ko]  undefined!
[04:14] <fabbione> there almost a 1000 of these messages
[04:14] <zul> have you talked to the gentoo sparc guys?
[04:14] <fabbione> i am not sure what is wrong.. google reports almost nothing about it
[04:14] <fabbione> nope...
[04:14] <fabbione> i don't have any contact with them
[04:14] <zul> they might have an idea..
[04:14] <zul> lemme go ask
[04:15] <fabbione> if goggle doesn't know.. i seriously doubt they do
[04:15] <zul> meh...im asking anyways
[04:16] <zul> i do have contact with them ;)
[04:17] <zul> well starting monday you guys are going to see more from me...how much fun is that
[04:17] <fabbione> zul: not fun.. i read your mail right now
[04:18] <zul> yeah i know
[04:18] <zul> but they are going to be bringing me back in june prolly 
[04:18] <fabbione> i am sure you will manage just fine
[04:18] <zul> i always do :)
[04:18] <fabbione> that's because you still take 50USD each time you give head? :P
[04:19] <zul> nah...i was thinking of a sperm bank but i even have problems with that
[04:20] <zul> heh my #gentoo-sparc ops still works
[04:22] <zul> there is that rootdelay= in 2.6.12 that allows booting off usb hdd looks like
[04:24] <fabbione> talking of which...
[04:24] <fabbione> i need to test the new AOE driver
[04:24] <zul> im missing something in the acx driver me thinks
[04:25] <fabbione> zul: nah.. why?
[04:25] <fabbione> i did review the patches yesterday...
[04:26] <zul> didnt load when i was doing and insmod on ti
[04:26] <fabbione> try with the new kernel
[04:26] <fabbione> the one we had before was broken
[04:26] <zul> k
[04:26] <fabbione> there was a bit too much in the patch
[04:26] <zul> k
[04:26] <fabbione> the one that "fixes" the firmware loading
[04:27] <zul> meh..
[04:27] <zul> the rest of the external drivers that i added insmod ran fine except i didnt have any of the hardware :)
[04:28] <fabbione> you can easily see from the logs if they can load or not
[04:28] <fabbione> that's how i did the fixes for the acx100 and the ppc stuff
[04:28] <zul> yeah i know..
[04:28] <zul> that was i was refering to
[04:28] <fabbione> and that's why i am telling you that sparc is doomed

[04:29] <fabbione> breezy dance!
[04:29] <zul> ok thats just plain scarey
