fabbioneBenC: sparc buildds are up and running01:33
fabbione:)01:33
BenCkick ass01:33
fabbioneBenC: if you can be so kind to pull/push from me i have a few |Viagara bug fixes from davem01:34
fabbioneRTC driver and SMP01:34
BenCfabbione: btw, this time around, I kept all the ABI files for all 6 architectrures :)01:34
fabbionenow it is stable :)01:34
BenCok01:34
fabbioneyeah i saw01:34
fabbioneno abi changes01:34
BenCgreat, now Sun can send me one so I can use it :)01:34
fabbionei wish i could get one too :)01:34
BenCif they send me two, I'll sneek one into Germany for you :)01:34
fabbioneeheh01:35
fabbionetoo bad i won't be in Germany01:35
fabbionemy wife delivery is right at that time01:35
fabbioneso i might or not come..01:35
fabbioneit depends how i "fell"01:35
BenCah, yeah, don't want to take a chance of missing that delivery01:35
fabbioneyeah exactly01:35
fabbionehttps://launchpad.net/+builds 01:36
fabbioneBenC: i wanted to talk to you about silo too01:38
fabbionehow bad would it be to move it to git? (including history)01:38
fabbionetailor did convert the svn repo without a glitch01:38
fabbioneor gime davem and me svn commit rights? :)01:38
BenCwould probably be easier to convert to git01:39
BenCdrop it on master.k.o01:39
fabbioneyeah01:39
fabbionehttp://people.ubuntu.com/~fabbione/silo.tailor.conf01:40
fabbioneuse this tailor config to import trunk into git01:40
fabbionewith history01:40
fabbioneof course change the paths to what fits you best :)01:40

BenCshitty...both my USB2 systems work fine with a USB2 storage device07:16
BenCwhy can't I get a broken ehci like everyone else07:17
mjg59BenC: How's your IDE knowledge?07:17
BenCsuitable for questions, not sure about answers though :)07:17
mjg59I have a PATA controller here07:17
mjg59If I drive it with ata_piix (the libata driver), it works fine07:17
BenCvia, intel, promise?07:18
mjg59Intel07:18
BenCintel, ok07:18
BenCahci is broken?07:18
mjg59If I drive it with piix (the drivers/ide one), it doesn't work07:18
mjg59No, this isn't a SATA controller07:18
BenCah, right, piix07:18
BenCwhat sort of error messages from piix?07:18
mjg59Or rather, it seems fine until I load ide-cd, at which point I get a spew of "failed opcode" errors and then interrupts rise at about 1000 a second07:19
BenCthis seems familiar...I think there's a bug like this in lp07:19
BenCI can't wait for 2.6.16 when most everything is in libata07:20
BenCwill be a nightmare for upgrades, but it will be worth it07:20
BenCcan't seem to find it right now07:22
BenCwant to try the 2.6.16-git piix.c in dapper's kernel?07:24
BenCnm, no code changes in 2.6.16-git07:26
jbaileyBenC: Why a nightmare for upgrades?07:36
jbaileyinitramfs-tools ought to just load the right driver based on the PCI ID, shouldn't iT?07:36
BenCthe switch to libata based IDE will make things go from /dev/hda to /dev/sda07:37
BenCif we had been using UUID based root and filesystem mounting all along, it wouldn't be a problem07:37
BenChowever, there's also initramfs support for find-root or something like that07:38
BenCmaybe it can help detect the changes07:38
mjg59Or udev can magically make them appear as hdwhatever anyway07:40
mjg59(I'm not convinced, but...)07:40
BenChmm...I wonder if udev can rename devices for PATA to a corresponding hd instead of sd :)07:41
jbaileyOuch, that's nasty.07:43
jbaileyIs this a permanent change?07:43
dokoBenC, mjg59: what package/setting does turn on power management for hd's? shutting down hd's in a server install doesn't seem to make sense07:44
jbaileyLike will all IDE devices then be sda'ish evermore?>07:44
BenCdoko: not sure...07:44
mjg59doko: To the best of my knowledge, no package does it07:44
BenCjbailey: pretty much...I think the long term plan is to move everything to libata/PATA07:44
BenCdoko: do you have the -server install, or just normal ubuntu?07:45
jbaileyBenC: Ah, okay.07:45
dokoBenC: -server install07:45
dokoso normal install CD, but -server install, server kernel07:45
BenCdoko: complain to fabbione...he's responsible for much of -server stuff07:46
BenCdoko: dapper?07:46
dokoyes07:46
BenCyeah, he'd be interested in that07:46
fabbioneBenC: nope.. it's a .15 thingy to shut down disks all the time07:46
dokofabbione: ^^^07:46
fabbionedoko: ^^07:46
BenCfabbione: are you sure it's not some default in hdparm.conf?07:46
BenCor perhaps even a BIOS setting07:47
fabbioneeven if i boot with .15 and stay at "Choose language" in d-i the disks are turned off07:47
fabbioneBenC: it didn't happen with .1207:47
fabbioneeven my raid5 of 6 disks does go to sleep once in a while07:47
BenCcan it be overridden with hdparm?07:47
dokoI can confirm this, .12 didn't spin down the disks07:47
BenC-server could have customer settings07:47
BenCcustom07:47
fabbioneBenC: dunno...07:48
fabbionei am not a fun of hdparm07:48
mjg59BenC: Probably best to figure out why the kernel is setting it...07:48
fabbionemjg59++07:48
BenCcould be a good reason though :)07:48
BenCmost people want that...but I guess it could be changed for -server07:48
mjg59BenC: We can set the timeout from userspace07:49
fabbioneno userland tricks pretty please07:49
BenCcan you get the hdparm output for .12 and .15 and see if there's some difference?07:49
fabbioneBenC: yes i think i can07:49
fabbioneBenC: but not right away07:49
mjg59But by default, the kernel ought to be leaving them runnning07:49
BenCthen I can track down in the kernel07:49
BenCnp, just email it when you can07:49
fabbioneBenC: i also got hints from elmo about -server kernel07:49
fabbioneBenC: like using a more sane deadline scheduler by default07:49
BenClooks like we'll be getting a powerpc-pseries kernel back, BTW07:50
BenCIBM is offering to test it for us07:50
fabbioneah nice07:50
fabbioneask benh for a config07:50
fabbionehe has access to one07:50
BenCI wish we could get someone to get mkvmlinux+oldworld boot working again too07:51
fabbionewhy?07:51
fabbioneBenC: you could ask sven luther07:51
fabbionebut that would also mean shipping 20 CDs for powerpc07:52
BenCuh, heh, might pass07:52
fabbioneone for each possible arch/subarch/underarch combination07:52
fabbione:P07:52
BenCdon't forget the uberarch's07:52
fabbioneehe08:02
jbaileyAre there any oldworld systems that people still care about?08:04
jbaileyI thought you had to go back quite a ways to find them.08:04
BenCinfinity claims he has a G3 that needs oldworld boot08:25
BenCbut I don't think he cares enough about it to get it working :)08:26
