[12:17] <lamont> mdz: there exists a slight chance that we'll make :33
[12:17] <lamont> (i386 kernel that is)
[12:17] <lamont> yeah, the chroot was unhappy.  removing a few dozen packages made it happy again
[01:01] <mdz> it's there for :03 at least
[01:03] <lamont> mjg59: you around?
[01:05] <lamont> mdz: for everyone but ia64, which is working on #3 of 4. :(
[01:07] <lamont> but, of course, it doesn't matter, since -6.8 won't boot on ia64 anyway
[05:34] <mjg59> lamont: Hello?
[05:35] <lamont> got a more recent acpi patch for me?
[05:35] <lamont> the one in -6.7 gives me my choice of hanging early or hanging earlier
[05:35] <lamont> ia64
[05:36] <lamont> my next try is to just rip acpi back to the the kernel.org 2.6.12 and see if even that works
[05:47] <lamont> there may also be config file options I could turn off again
[05:47] <lamont> although, of course, disabiling acpi completely is a non-option
[05:59] <mjg59> lamont: Not right now, but I can do
[06:01] <lamont> thanks muchly
[06:45] <jbailey> Might be some new breakage in the -6.7 kernel.  When I booted my ppc64 box this morning, it started loading X and suddenly rebooted.
[06:45] <jbailey> Hasn't recurred, though.
[07:05] <jimpanic> uuhm...stupid question: does the amd64-version of ubuntu run in long-mode or only in protected-mode?
[07:10] <jimpanic> too stupid to answer it, eh? ;)
[07:15] <jbailey> Most of us are probably elsewhere, it's a lovely day out.
[07:15] <jbailey> If I understand the question right, it runs in long mode.
[07:15] <jbailey> The amd64 port is a pure native port.
[07:17] <jimpanic> thank you :)
[07:19] <jbailey> jimpanic: No prob.  I'm fairly new to amd64, so I hope that's what you need. =)
[07:24] <jimpanic> protected-mode -> 32bit; long-mode -> 64bit
[07:25] <jimpanic> was just wondering if all the programs are ported or if they`re able to run in long-mode(64)..or if the kernel only runs in protected-mode(32).
[07:26] <jbailey> No, the userspace is all in long mode.
[07:27] <jimpanic> that`s nice!
[07:27] <jbailey> You can opt to run a 32 bit userspace on a 64bit kernel, but it's not that common.
[07:28] <jimpanic> of course, but do the 32bit-binaries natively run in long-mode?
[07:30] <jbailey> No, the kernel is capable of setting up the environment for both.
[07:31] <jimpanic> ok, thanks :)
[07:32] <jbailey> anytime.
[09:22] <lamont> -6.8 builds on hppa
[09:22] <lamont> in only 3 hours. :-(
[09:37] <jbailey> lamont: Surely HP has a spare superdome they can loan you... =)
[10:37] <lamont> heh
