trymwhy is there no HIGHMEM config vars in the AMD64 kernels ?03:23
mjg59trym: Because AMD64 can access much more memory natively?03:31
trymah sweet :)03:31
trymbut the thing is.. I have 4GB of ram03:31
mjg59That should be fine without HIGHMEM on amd6403:32
trymshould AMD64 and the kernel be able to use that much without any special config etc?03:32
mjg59Yes03:32
trymoh ok.. then it might be a bios problem03:32
mjg59Because it's not limited to 32 bits of addressable memory03:32
trymbios reports 4GB as installed and 2,4GB as usable, due to memory hole not being enabled03:32
trymand linux reports the exact same amount as the bios reports as "usable" (~2,4GB)03:32
trymbut I recall having troubles after enabling memory hole though.. ill try again03:33
mjg59Ok, that's a BIOS issue03:33
trymnice to know for sure03:34
trymone last thing though..03:34
trymafter enabling the hardware memory hole.. I cant boot the kernel03:37
trymor that is.. it fails mounting the file systems03:37
mjg59Hm. That's interesting.03:37
mjg59Can you file a bug with the last few messages it prints?03:37
=== smurf [n=smurf@debian/developer/smurf] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
trymwell I doubt the last lines are interesting.. but the ill note down the ones that probably are interesting03:38
trymwhere should I post it?03:38
mjg59http://launchpad.net03:39
mjg59Click on bugs, "file a bug on a package" and then choose linuex-source-2.6.1503:40
mjg59Anyway.03:40
=== mjg59 goes to bed
trymoh ok.. thanks for the help :)03:40
trymjust one last thing03:40
trymthe problem seems to be that it gets a buffer I/O error on the HD devices03:40
trymBooting the kernel.03:41
trym[   128.276012]  Buffer I/O error on device sde, logical block 89xxxx03:41
infinityI love it when I waste an hour bootstrapping a system to hunt a bug that isn't there.03:41
trymhehe03:42
trymI can imagine03:42
infinityAnd then 8 tries to type my GPG passphrase.  I WIN!03:46
trymyou need a drink03:46
infinityI think I'm going to go find some lunch instead of frustrating myself further.03:46
trymor a joint03:46

BenCI thought we had a thinkpad driver for this05:47
mjg59BenC: Pretty sure he's just got the hardware switch switched off...05:48
cjbis rf_kill == 2?  That would mean the hardware switch is on.05:49

[g2] BenC is this channel logged anywhere ?07:18
BenCiinfinity: when you wake up, could you see about booting it with dapper?07:19
BenC[g2] : Yeah, in my home directory under .xchat2 :)07:19
[g2] heh07:20
[g2] anyplace else ?07:20
BenCnot that I know of07:23
[g2] BenC would you like to have the logs available ?07:23
[g2] other than from your ~/.xchat/xchatlogs dir :-)07:23
BenCsure07:23
[g2] Ok. I'm logging some other channels as I'm doing some other things07:24
[g2] right now I've got a perl script that rolls the log daily07:24
[g2] I just need to run a little pretty printer to format it07:24
[g2] but in the meantime the raw stuff with date and timestamps are there07:25
[g2] as long as you can tolerate EST07:25
[g2] I've got my own web site, so I'll just set it up there in the next couple of days. Ok ?07:26

[g2] crimsun cool08:56
[g2] that's why I asked first :-)08:56
[g2] I'm logging other channels that are non-ubuntu, but I'm planning on working on Dapper on the macmini so I'll be following 6.06 more closely08:57

=== lamont ponders anew git and how to do a binary search for the bug that killed hppa
lamonter, ia6410:42
lamonton the bright side, now that I'm running dapper, installing git-core is easier... or do I want that version?10:42

desrtwhen did CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE get turned off?10:48
desrtBenC; i am messaging you here :)10:50
lamontdesrt: I bet it was when they created the server kernels10:50
desrtk.  i need it :)10:50
lamontdesrt: install a server kernel?10:50
desrtpowerpc6410:51
lamontBenC: git-core in dapper gives you the transition mess... do we really want that?10:52
desrtBenC; i've now emailed you.10:57
BenClamont: what transistion mess?11:13
lamontapt-get install git-core, alternatives gets set to git.transition, which tells you that things are changing...  then runs an old version of git (gitfm, maybe?), which bitches about options  and dies (given the command on KernelGitGuide)11:15
=== lamont works on 40286, to see when we broke (and how) ia64
BenClamont: not sure what the issue is, but I know my current git-core installs work fine (from dapper)11:22
lamontit's possible that I had an old git-core installed11:23
lamontah, I have the 'git' package installed too11:24
lamontand that delivers git.transition, which is the problem child11:25
desrtBenC; is there a reason why the huge pages were dropped?11:40
