| zul | hey | 02:23 |
| DevinT | woah | 02:27 |
| DevinT | somebody's here | 02:27 |
| DevinT | ok | 02:27 |
| DevinT | well | 02:27 |
| DevinT | i know you and 3 other people are on the kernel team from launchpad, correct? | 02:28 |
| zul | yeah | 02:35 |
| DevinT | well, are you familiar with the acx100 driver? | 02:36 |
| zul | not really.. | 02:36 |
| zul | whats the problem | 02:37 |
| DevinT | well | 02:38 |
| DevinT | i was wondering how i could become some sort of psuedo module maintainer for that | 02:38 |
| DevinT | i'm interested in helping out with the ubuntu kernel, and i was thinking that would be a great place to start, especially as it needs a lot of work | 02:39 |
| zul | DevinT: you might want to talk to BenC | 02:43 |
| DevinT | ok | 02:43 |
| === BenC lifts his head | ||
| zul | but all you really do is pull the git tree, make patches and push | 02:44 |
| BenC | yeah, read the wiki in the channel topic | 02:44 |
| DevinT | alright | 02:50 |
| makx | BenC: davej had some comments about enabled lapic. | 02:51 |
| makx | maybe you imported that setting from Debian as we have this also set. | 02:51 |
| makx | any comment on the matter. | 02:51 |
| makx | ? | 02:51 |
| makx | (i was quite happy for his acpi cut off pointer, did turn that off too in current tree, all the old boxes i've seen work with acpi=force) | 02:53 |
| DevinT | how lame haha | 02:54 |
| mjg59 | makx: Enabled lapic ought to work fine now | 02:55 |
| DevinT | why 0.99.9abcdefg, just go to 1.0 already | 02:55 |
| DevinT | silly Linus | 02:55 |
| makx | mjg99: vanilla? | 02:55 |
| mjg59 | makx: As far as I know, yes | 02:55 |
| mjg59 | What's the issue? | 02:55 |
| makx | well i need to find time and see if some boot failures are corelated too UP_APIC | 02:57 |
| makx | mjg59: did you read latest davej blog? | 02:57 |
| makx | (not that i want to throw any flames, more interested in facts :) | 02:59 |
| mjg59 | makx: Enabling local apic in the kernel used to enable it on boot regardless of what the BIOS did | 03:00 |
| mjg59 | That changed in 2.6.10 or so - now the kernel only enables it if the BIOS has already enabled it | 03:00 |
| mjg59 | That seemed to fix all the problems we saw | 03:00 |
| mjg59 | Let me see if I can track down when that changed | 03:00 |
| makx | hmm definitely before git time. :) | 03:00 |
| BenC | makx: Haven't looked into it | 03:01 |
| zul | BenC: its just a rant | 03:01 |
| makx | zul: naah it had also nice info for me.:) | 03:01 |
| BenC | I need to setup a test partition on my g5 | 03:03 |
| mjg59 | makx: We've had no reported problems with enabling UP APIC | 03:10 |
| === dilinger [i=dilinger@mouth.voxel.net] has joined #ubuntu-kernel | ||
| zul | makx: heh...im going to start a blog to respond | 03:50 |
| makx | zul: ok cool, but be nice ;) | 03:51 |
| === fabbione eyes 2.6.15 changelog | ||
| fabbione | YES! I know there are no i386 SMP packages. The 686 and k7 packages are | 04:11 |
| fabbione | SMP enabled. In fact, they are also UP enabled "WHAT!?!? HUH!?!". Yes, SMP | 04:11 |
| fabbione | on i386 now has the added benefit of killing lock ops dynamically on boot. | 04:11 |
| fabbione | This is still in testing phase. I also need to fix a few things to get it | 04:11 |
| fabbione | working for modules. | 04:11 |
| mjg59 | EAT YOUR CRACK | 04:11 |
| fabbione | mjg59: i assume that's too much even for you | 04:15 |
| mjg59 | Haha | 04:15 |
| mjg59 | Linus has actually been talking about it - he seems to think it's kind of cool | 04:15 |
| fabbione | that patch is old as helll | 04:17 |
| fabbione | i think Ben did port it from 2.4 or something | 04:17 |
| fabbione | so i assume Linus is looking into our tree | 04:18 |
| dilinger | fabbione: hope there's a provides for the smp flavours :) | 04:24 |
| dilinger | or dummy packages or something | 04:25 |
| fabbione | dilinger: there is no need to do that in the kernel package | 04:25 |
| fabbione | we can handle that in linux-meta | 04:25 |
| dilinger | no?linux-image-686-smp | 04:25 |
| dilinger | that's what i've got installed; that will need to be sure to pick up -686 instead | 04:26 |
| fabbione | yeah | 04:26 |
| fabbione | linux-image-686-smp comes from linux-meta | 04:26 |
| fabbione | not from linux-source | 04:26 |
| dilinger | ok | 04:26 |
| fabbione | that one will pick up the right kernel | 04:26 |

| BenC | Linux colorless 2.6.15-2-powerpc #4 Mon Nov 14 10:58:05 EST 2005 ppc GNU/Linux | 06:05 |
| BenC | g4 booted flawlessly with new kernel | 06:06 |
| fabbione | BenC: cool | 06:07 |
| fabbione | so it did actually build | 06:07 |
| fabbione | or is it with a local version of kernel-package | 06:07 |
| fabbione | ? | 06:07 |
| fabbione | because i need a d-i with .15 to be able to install my powerbook | 06:08 |
| BenC | local mods to k-p | 06:08 |
| fabbione | or backport some git stuff to .12 | 06:08 |
| fabbione | ok | 06:08 |
| BenC | we have to use ARCH=powerpc for ppc32 | 06:08 |
| BenC | 15-1 wont work, I had to make a few fixes to .config for ppc32 | 06:09 |
| fabbione | BenC: ok | 06:09 |
| fabbione | i need to ask benh if the ID changes have made linus tree | 06:10 |
| BenC | it's all in git if you want to do a build though | 06:10 |
| BenC | and I can dpkg-repack my kernel-package | 06:10 |
| BenC | is your powerbook G5? | 06:10 |
| fabbione | the problem is that to build d-i you need stuff in the archive, otherwise it's a bunch of hacks | 06:10 |
| fabbione | nope.. g4 | 06:10 |
| fabbione | there are no powerbook g5 yet | 06:11 |
| fabbione | i am off for dinner | 06:11 |
| fabbione | bbl | 06:11 |
| BenC | later | 06:26 |
| dilinger | hm | 06:28 |
| dilinger | http://www.livejournal.com/users/kernelslacker/30664.html | 06:29 |
| zul_ | dilinger: yeah saw it this morning | 06:31 |
| BenC | people getting mad at us is probably a good thing in that sense :) | 06:39 |
| BenC | we do have about half a dozen patches that need to be pushed upstream though | 06:39 |
| dilinger | yea | 06:42 |
| BenC | good thing is that a whole lot of patches got rm'd with 2.6.15 | 06:42 |
| dilinger | now that i'm not doing debian kernel stuff anymore, i'm thinking i should start going through vendor kernels and pushing stuff upstream (maybe starting another kernel tree w/ those fixes) | 06:42 |
| BenC | mostly acpi of course | 06:42 |
| BenC | they are easy to find in our git tree | 06:43 |
| dilinger | yep | 06:43 |
| BenC | search git-log for "UpstreamStatus: Unsubmitted" | 06:43 |
| fabbione | clearly who did that review isn't aware that 90% of the patches we pull are from other upstreams | 06:56 |
| fabbione | specially the ACPI ones | 06:56 |
| fabbione | BenC: btw.. speaking of patches.. the megaraid split is my work | 06:56 |
| fabbione | something i did almost for fun | 06:57 |
| BenC | ah, so you lay claim to that code? :) | 06:57 |
| fabbione | code... well.. it's a patch... | 06:57 |
| fabbione | it does nothing fancy :) | 06:57 |
| BenC | is it needed? | 06:57 |
| fabbione | well yes | 06:57 |
| fabbione | some controllers are supported only by the old driver | 06:58 |
| fabbione | and viceversa | 06:58 |
| fabbione | so the patch does split per PCI ID's | 06:58 |
| fabbione | to support the largest amount of cards | 06:58 |
| fabbione | with no overlap between the two | 06:58 |
| fabbione | so they should be even able to load in parallel | 06:58 |
| BenC | to make it correct, I should probably make it so that it enables/disables the extra PCI id's depending on whether the new module is compiled | 06:58 |
| fabbione | hmmm that's an option | 06:59 |
| BenC | this new kernel doesn't seem as troublesome as I was expecting, but I don't have the varied hardware like our users do | 07:01 |
| BenC | atleast I can say "works for me" though :) | 07:01 |
| fabbione | BenC: i will be able to start testing on 8 boxes tomorrow | 07:01 |
| fabbione | modulo my fever going away | 07:01 |
| BenC | you should get some rest dude | 07:01 |
| fabbione | i have been in bed all day | 07:02 |
| fabbione | just too restless to stay there longer | 07:02 |
| fabbione | i needed a break :) | 07:02 |
| BenC | yeah, I can't just lay around all day either | 07:04 |
| BenC | need to restart X | 07:05 |

| zul_ | hey...we both worked on that patch fabbione | 07:53 |
| fabbione | zul_: we did??? | 07:56 |
| fabbione | probably | 07:56 |
| zul_ | yeah.. | 07:58 |
| zul_ | the megaraid one if you are talking about | 07:58 |
| fabbione | yeah that one | 07:58 |
| zul_ | i started it, you finished it :) | 07:58 |
| fabbione | right | 07:59 |
| fabbione | BenC: ^^^now you can blame zul for that patch :) | 08:01 |
| zul_ | damn it | 08:03 |
| zul_ | is this because of davej's blog? | 08:04 |
| fabbione | no.. you want to share credits and it's of course fine by me.. you also share the blames :P | 08:05 |
| zul_ | nah i dont want blame i just want a share of the credit..you can have all of the blame ;) | 08:06 |
| fabbione | ehhe | 08:06 |
| fabbione | anyway i am out of here | 08:06 |
| fabbione | time to get more rest | 08:06 |
