airlieddo you guys have pre-built kernels for Intel Pentium D + SMP?08:02
infinityairlied: In theory, the -686 kernel should be the right thing, there.08:20
infinityairlied: Our 686 kernels do SMP/UP switching on the fly, through some dirty trickery.08:20
infinityairlied: "apt-get install linux-686" for the minimum fuss (this is on dapper, of course... On breezy or earlier, you probably want linux-686-smp)08:22
airlieddo I need to go to dapper? or does breezy work?08:23
airliedah thx..08:23
airliednope that doesn't work on breeszy I might just upgrade to dapper anyways..08:23
infinityIt will only work if you have restricted in your sources.list...08:24
infinityIf you don't give a hoot about resitrcted modules, then "apt-get install linux-image-686-smp" instead (which should come from "main")08:24
infinity(linux-FLAVOR depends on linux-image-FLAVOUR and linux-restricted-modules-FLAVOUR to make sure you always have both in sync, should you actually be using the latter)08:25
infinityLRM includes stuff like madwifi, nvidia and fglrx kernel components, etc.08:25
airliedshouldn't need those then.. 08:26
infinityOr just upgrade to dapper anyway, cause you're a l33t freedesktop hacker, and you need the latest and greatest anyhow. ;)08:26
infinity(and kernel 2.6.15 will set much better with you than 2.6.12, I suspect)08:26
infinitys/set/sit/08:26
airliedwell at least I might have ethernet with 2.6.1508:27
infinityThat would be a good thing.08:27
Mithrandirethernet's supposedly good.08:27
airliedyes I've got a USB Ethernet at the moment.. its mostly not good..08:27

davekempeanyone got dapper to install on a sun 4100 or 4200?02:01
davekempethe megaraid_sas driver seems to dump a stack trace and not detect any drives for me02:01
fabbionedavekempe: url to the hw please?02:01
davekempehttp://www.sun.com/servers/entry/x4100/02:02
davekempehttp://www.sun.com/servers/entry/x4200/02:03
davekempebtw, breezy works fine on the next one up, the v40z02:03
davekempebut its just megaraid_mm or some older megaraid02:04
davekempenot sas02:04
fabbioneplease file a bug on lauchpad.net/malone component linux-source-2.6.15 and add: lspci -vvv to the bug02:04
fabbioneinclude also the 2 URL to the hw02:05
davekempeno worries.02:05
fabbionethe megaraid did change a lot between .12 and .1502:05
fabbionebut i thing that machine actually uses mptsas02:06
davekempeI will try out dapper flight 4 amd64 tomorrow and try get it working02:06
fabbioneand not megaraid02:06
fabbioneok02:06
fabbionethanks02:06
davekempei really would like hoary on there though. I will have to make a different installer02:06
infinity... hoary?02:07
fabbionewhy hoary???02:07
davekempeso i don't have to resolve the libc PT_GNU_STACK mess and can use grsec in the kernel02:07
davekempeits a server, not much i need has changed between hoary and dapper02:07
davekempe(that I can't backport if really really needed)02:08
Mithrandirdapper's 9-10 months into the support period, though, so you'll be stuck without security fixes in less than a year.02:08
mjg59Hoary, not dapper02:08
Mithrandiruh, true.02:09
davekempeyeah, so we have that long to figure out the libc mess one way or another02:09
davekempei really would prefer to not have an executable stack for my purposes02:10
davekempethis is what im talking about: http://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?t=1152&highlight=debian02:12
davekempeits all redhat's fault02:14
zulokie dokie02:18
=== infinity notes that that "glibc mess" is easy to fix in the apps...
zulwhats the program thats a front gui for a tcpdump02:27
zuli forget what it is called02:27

mjg59BenC: Are you sure about http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/bcollins/ubuntu-2.6.git;a=blobdiff;h=99c0ce2a87645bea35ad161d0552b35307d6af0f;hp=f26d819c9ae13c403b904c97e0be34866a32213e;hb=14de3561b1eab87faf8591b667e14e8e93523dac;f=arch/i386/Kconfig ?04:06
BenCmjg59: Pretty sure. The default is 1G of user address space, with anything over that as virtual, and ~190Megs is used for kernel related things to manage that, which gives us the ~870 megs of non-highmem we have by default04:11
BenCatleast, that's the way I understand it04:11
BenCit could be backwards, because the patch I used for it is really confusing04:12
mjg59BenC: No, that's 1G of physical address space, surely?04:12
BenCyeah, I think you're right04:12
mjg59The more physical memory the kernel can access, the less address space available to userspace04:12
BenCShould change the description04:12
mjg59Yeah04:13

fabbionehey guys05:19
fabbioneBenC: please pull from me again.. more |Viagara love ;)05:20
BenCok :)05:20
fabbioneBenC: we need silo.. do you think you can make it today?05:20
fabbione.10 + the 2 patches05:20
BenCYeah, I can try05:21
fabbionethanks05:21
fabbioneBenC: both .15 UP and SMP have been tested.05:22
fabbioneBenC: so we are "certified" :)05:22
BenCgotta love that :)05:24
fabbioneoh yeah05:26
fabbionethat's when we found out a few extra bugs with silo (second patch) and an error in trap/syscall table not being properly alligned05:27
infinityBenC: Has anyone whined to you yet about a bunch of ISAPNP (I think it was?) printk's flashing by on boot before usplash kicks in?05:29
BenCyeah, I see them too05:29
BenCI'm bugging mjg59 about them, since they are his fault :)05:29
infinityYeah, can we get the severity lowered, so they get shut up by "quiet"?05:29
infinityUnless they shouldn't be happening at all.05:30
BenCthey seem to be harmless, so I'll make them quiet05:30
infinityAlso, has anyone yet requested that we bump up the default size of our ringbuffer a tad?  I find it painfully irritating that by the time I boot, "dmesg" doesn't go back to the beginning anymore, cause our boot is so noisy.05:31
