marcreicheltmy ubuntu kernel seems to have problems with acpi - nearly every time when my laptop is under heavy use (e.g. reading big files from my external usb disk or burning a cd) it just hangs up with a kernel panic10:57
marcreichelta shot of the screen can be found here: http://www.marcreichelt.de/misc/kernelpanic.jpg10:59
marcreicheltI tried to deactivate all modules containing the word "acpi", but this didn't fix the problem10:59
marcreicheltI also tried to deactivate acpi on boot, with "acpi=off" as kernel parameter11:00
marcreicheltthe result was that the system frozed after approx. 30 seconds after boot time11:01
marcreicheltdo you have any ideas? is this a bug in the ubuntu kernel? what can I do?11:01
=== marcreichelt is now known as marc_learning
mjg59marc_learning: "acpi_processor_idle" just means that the system wasn't doing anything at the time11:40
mjg59But you can check by unloading the "processor" module11:40

marcreichelthmm01:34
marcreicheltprocessor depends on speedstep_centrino, and I can't unload that one, because it is in use01:35
marcreicheltbut it doesn't say by which module it is used01:41
Mithrandirit's probably used by powernowd or something similar.01:42
infinityNo, you can't unload centrino.  mjg59 and I ran into that a week or two ago.  It's thpethul.01:43
infinityThe only way I could "unload" it was to not load it in the first place.01:44
marcreicheltk01:45
marcreichelthow can I deactivate it on boot?01:45
=== BenC [n=bcollins@debian/developer/bcollins] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
marcreicheltso that "processor" and speedstep_centrino aren't started at boot time?01:45
infinityBlacklist them in modprobe.01:45
marcreicheltMithrandir, I killed powernowd01:45
infinityAlternately, move the files somewhere else so you're sure nothing can load them. :)01:46
marcreicheltmoment...01:48
marcreicheltbrb01:48
marcreicheltok, I created the file /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/asuslaptop-problems and wrote the line "processor" into it01:57
marcreicheltis this correct?01:57
marcreicheltI think it should be01:59
marcreicheltwell, I'm going to reboot now01:59
marcreicheltsee you in a few minutes02:00

marcreichelthello again02:12
marcreicheltmy module "processor" is still running02:12
marcreichelteven a line in /etc/hotplug/blacklist did not work02:12
marcreicheltyou still mean that it would be good to rename the module?02:13
marcreicheltk, I renamed the processor module02:14

marcreichelthi again02:19
marcreichelthe still loads the module "processor" - but I renamed processor.ko to processor.ko.old... :-/02:20
marcreicheltmaybe I have to create a new initrd?02:20
marcreicheltor kernel?02:21
marcreicheltor is there another way to fix my problem?02:22
marcreicheltI would hack myself into the kernel to solve this problem if I would have the time to02:23
marcreicheltthe problem seems to be in processor.c02:24
marcreichelt:-(02:36

BenCmarcreichelt: dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-`uname -r`03:50
BenCthat will generate a new initramfs03:50
mxpxpodBenC: have you had any problems lately with your ae?03:52
BenCnone03:52
BenCother than the weird eth0_clashed thing, but that's not particular to ae03:52
mxpxpodBenC: check this out... someone in my apartment installed a wireless router with authentication on the same channel as mine and my ae gets a ton of DEAUTH messages from it03:53
mxpxpodthis causes klogd to go crazy and take up like 10% cpu03:53
BenChmm, sounds like softmac actually03:53
mxpxpodif I switch to another channel, I don't get it03:53
mxpxpodoh, really?03:54
BenCmaybe I need to turn down the verbosity03:54
BenCthe messages I think come from softmac03:54
mxpxpodyeah, dmesg is full of DEAUTH's03:54
mxpxpodit's quite frustrating... so I switched channels03:54
BenCactually, it's right from ieee80211.ko03:55

lamontBenC: can you easily tell me when the last update of the hppa patch in 2.6.15 happened?  (was -13 built with the hppa patchset, or without, to be specific...)06:09
BenCI've never applied an hppa patchset per se06:13
BenCI merely got what was there to work06:13
BenClamont: so it's 99% stock 2.6.15 code for hppa, with just one backport for a compat syscall I can't recall off hand06:14
lamontBenC: please consider merging the following patches (minimum) from ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/patches06:19
lamontdiff-2.6.12-rc3-tulip_21142_phyinit, diff-2.6.3-tulip, diff-2.6.6-tulip_stop_rxtx, diff-tulip_phy_reset-0306:19
lamontall 4 are in akpm's tree06:19
lamontthose patches make tulip work on modern hardware...  bug exists on hppa as well as some i386 platforms06:22
marcreicheltBenC: just leave the processor blacklisted and generate a new initramfs?07:16
fswhat's the current status of the megaraid newgen/legacy patch? 07:21
fsnever mind, found it: it's merged upstream.07:33
lamontBenC: I'll start working through the hppa patchset to see what makes sense for us to include07:35
lamontas in, what's low-risk and/or hppa specific07:36
