dilingeroh12:37
dilingerif this doesn't work, i won't be able to reboot back into 2.6.12, will i?12:37
dilingerthanks to udev12:37
jbaileyYou just won't have dynamic devices.12:39
dilingerok12:40
jbaileyHmm12:40
jbaileyAnd nothing that got modprobed by hotplug.12:40
jbaileySo do an lsmod first. =)12:40
dilingerok12:41
=== dilinger throws tg3 and 3w-9xxx into /etc/modules, just in case
BenCmjg59: ok12:45
jbaileydilinger: You still have keyboard access to this box, yes?12:46
jbaileydilinger: Networking doesn't come up automatically with the new udev, known bug.12:46
dilingerjbailey: there is a keyboard hooked up to it; however, it's a few hundred miles away12:46
jbaileydilinger: Err.12:46
jbaileyDon't do this then.12:46
dilingerjbailey: what needs to be done for that?12:46
dilingerwell,i've got someone there who can fix it12:47
BenCadd "auto eth0" to /etc/network/interfaces12:47
jbaileydilinger: No idea, I haven't tracked it closely enough to know.12:47
dilingeroh right, since by default it uses a hotplug mapping12:47
BenCright12:47
dilingeri can just kill that mapping as well now, right?12:47
BenCyeah12:48
dilingerthanks12:48
BenCauto works for both kernels/udev12:48
dilingeryep12:49
dilingerjust wanted to make sure nothing else might be relying on the mapping12:49
BenCanyone know off hand, the url for the sparc/hppa build logs?12:50
makxjbailey: you are only on freenode?12:55
makxaah you left oftc..12:57
jbaileyBenC: http://bld-3.mmjgroup.com/buildLogs/12:58
BenCthanks12:58
jbaileymakx: I don't always log in everywhere.12:58
jbaileymakx: I have different accounts / different IRC networks depending on what I'm doing atm.12:58
makxhehe, ok jbailey. was quite surprised, how easy Md was to the initramfs-tools hooks. seems to work out nicely :)12:59
jbaileyCool.01:00
BenClamont-away: ping01:00
BenClamont-away: any idea why dh_clean failed on hppa and causes linux-source-2.6.15 build failure?01:02
dilingerwoo!01:15
dilingerit worked01:15
dilingerthat's w/ SMP enabled, too (which didn't work w/ breezy's 2.6.12)01:15
BenCsweet01:19
dilingeri'll do some stress testing over the weekend, see if i can't get it to fall over01:20
dilingeroh great, now i can use smartd, too01:20

EarthpigGood question: I have to use k8 in i386 mode at work due to legacy apps. :-/09:25
infinityAn i386 chroot, or ia32-libs aren't good enough for you?09:25
Earthpigia32-libs weren't enough; sun-jre-1.3 wouldn't work with it.09:26

BenCcool06:22
infinityBenC : Do we know the cause of these messages?06:51
infinityAssertion failed! qc->n_elem > 0,drivers/scsi/libata-core.c,ata_fill_sg,line=250406:51
BenCnope, never seen/heard of it06:51
infinityJoy.  I get them every once in a while.  Oddly enough, I can reliably reproduce it when running update-initramfs -u, of all things.06:52
BenCsomething is calling ata_fill_sg() with a zero sized sg list06:53
BenCwell, zero sized queue command list06:53
BenClooks harmless, since it will just not do anything06:54
infinityHarmless, as long as it wasn't meant to do anything. :)06:54
infinityBut if it IS harmless, we'll want to shut it up before release.  A dmesg with a mess of those is scary.06:54
BenCwell, true, if it had commands, but didn't update the list elem count, then that's bad :)06:54
BenCwhat ata driver are you using?06:55
infinityata_piix06:55
=== infinity wonders why bot ata_piix and ahci get loaded, but ahci doesn't appear to get used.
mjg59infinity: ahci loads, finds it can't claim your device and then fails. ata_piix then gets loaded.06:56
mjg59Some PCI devices can be used in either mode, but it depends on BIOS setup06:57
infinitymjg59 : Sure, but typically when things fail to bind to a device, they gracefully unload again.06:57
mjg59infinity: Not nowadays, no06:57
mjg59PCI drivers stick around, in case you hotplug something they can bind to06:57
mjg59And so you can echo stuff into new_id06:58
infinityBut if I hotplug something, it would get modprobed again anyway, wouldn't it?06:58
mjg59Well, yes06:58
mjg59But the latter argument still stands06:58
infinityThe New World Order is too confusing for me. :)06:58
mjg59Ah!06:59
infinityPerhaps this is why I still run monolithic kernels on my servers.06:59
mjg59That would be why my battery life is sucking06:59

BenCfabbione: hey, there's an aweful lot of bugs concerning 2.6.12-10, regressions from 2.6.12-907:41
fabbioneBenC: what kind of regressions?07:41
BenCif you search bugzilla for 2.6.12-10, you'll find them all07:41
BenCcrashes, especially acpi related07:41
fabbionebinary crap -ENOCARE.. we can't fix them07:41
fabbionewe didn't touch ACPI with security :/07:41
BenCbut they all say "worked in 2.6.12-9"07:41
BenCmost crash during boot, during hotplug07:42
fabbionei can see 3 bugs07:42
fabbione20107: it's definetely not the kernel07:43
fabbionewe call an helper script to update grbu menu stuff07:44
BenC20366, 2039107:45
BenCthose are two in my current list07:45
fabbioneyes.. the same i am looking at07:46
BenCI've seen more, but I don't think they all say 2.6.12-10 (some start out, "security upgrade" or something)07:47
fabbionethe only ones i saw were binary drivers related07:47
BenCif they are invalid, can you close them?07:47
fabbionei find it weird because they are all reporting problems again subsystem that we didn't touch at all07:48
BenCyeah, I knew it was odd07:48
BenCbut when > 1 complain about the same thing, it tends to add some credibility07:48
fabbioneyup i agree07:49
AcidPils1hmmm, wlan0 (WE) : Driver using old /proc/net/wireless support, please fix driver ! may this be the error?07:49
BenCAcidPils1: nah, my rt2500 says the same thing, and it works07:49
AcidPils1ah ok, stupid card :(07:50
fabbioneBenC: there is only a scary patch in -10- that's the one that changes the ABI07:51
fabbionei wonder if that could be the culprit07:51
fabbioneit's quite invasive07:51
fabbioneideally we could try to revert that and see if it fixes the problem07:51
fabbionebut it's contained inside sysctl07:55
fabbioneit's an internal 07:56
fabbioneit's an internal function that changes07:56
fabbionebut it adds stuff to a struct...07:56
=== fabbione checks
fabbionei really can't see anything there08:03
fabbioneif there was a remote problem with acpi and the scary patch, none of the machines would have survived longer than a few seconds08:03
fabbionebecause the change touches all subsystem08:04
fabbione+s08:04
AcidPils1now its getting strange, acx_pci: probe of 0000:01:07.0 failed with error -5, and then ndiswrapper version 1.5 loaded (preempt=yes,smp=yes) oO08:06
AcidPils1why ndiswrapper? i used it but deletet it from /etc/modules08:07
BenCmaybe ndiswrapper is taking the resources08:11
BenCtry deleting the acx entry for ndiswrapper (maybe some script is autoloading ndiswrapper because it is associated with one of your devices?)08:11
