[03:23] <trym> why is there no HIGHMEM config vars in the AMD64 kernels ?
[03:31] <mjg59> trym: Because AMD64 can access much more memory natively?
[03:31] <trym> ah sweet :)
[03:31] <trym> but the thing is.. I have 4GB of ram
[03:32] <mjg59> That should be fine without HIGHMEM on amd64
[03:32] <trym> should AMD64 and the kernel be able to use that much without any special config etc?
[03:32] <mjg59> Yes
[03:32] <trym> oh ok.. then it might be a bios problem
[03:32] <mjg59> Because it's not limited to 32 bits of addressable memory
[03:32] <trym> bios reports 4GB as installed and 2,4GB as usable, due to memory hole not being enabled
[03:32] <trym> and linux reports the exact same amount as the bios reports as "usable" (~2,4GB)
[03:33] <trym> but I recall having troubles after enabling memory hole though.. ill try again
[03:33] <mjg59> Ok, that's a BIOS issue
[03:34] <trym> nice to know for sure
[03:34] <trym> one last thing though..
[03:37] <trym> after enabling the hardware memory hole.. I cant boot the kernel
[03:37] <trym> or that is.. it fails mounting the file systems
[03:37] <mjg59> Hm. That's interesting.
[03:37] <mjg59> Can you file a bug with the last few messages it prints?
[03:38] <trym> well I doubt the last lines are interesting.. but the ill note down the ones that probably are interesting
[03:38] <trym> where should I post it?
[03:39] <mjg59> http://launchpad.net
[03:40] <mjg59> Click on bugs, "file a bug on a package" and then choose linuex-source-2.6.15
[03:40] <mjg59> Anyway.
[03:40] <trym> oh ok.. thanks for the help :)
[03:40] <trym> just one last thing
[03:40] <trym> the problem seems to be that it gets a buffer I/O error on the HD devices
[03:41] <trym> Booting the kernel.
[03:41] <trym> [   128.276012]  Buffer I/O error on device sde, logical block 89xxxx
[03:41] <infinity> I love it when I waste an hour bootstrapping a system to hunt a bug that isn't there.
[03:42] <trym> hehe
[03:42] <trym> I can imagine
[03:46] <infinity> And then 8 tries to type my GPG passphrase.  I WIN!
[03:46] <trym> you need a drink
[03:46] <infinity> I think I'm going to go find some lunch instead of frustrating myself further.
[03:46] <trym> or a joint
[03:46] <trym> whichever you prefer
[10:45] <Mithrandir> BenC: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/31527 has a patch you might want to pull in which fixes DRI on 9250s.
[02:46] <Petaris> BenC: ping
[02:59] <Petaris> Can anyone point me to the amd64-k8 kernel headers?
[03:05] <Keybuk> Petaris: linux-headers-amd64-generic
[03:05] <Keybuk> #uh
[03:05] <Keybuk> linux-headers-amd64-k8
[03:05] <Keybuk> :p
[03:06] <Petaris> Keybuk: Thanks, I just found them too  ;)
[03:15] <Petaris> hrm
[03:15] <Petaris> I can't get vmplayer installed
[03:17] <Petaris> This is what I get: http://phpfi.com/116719
[03:17] <Keybuk> infinity: did you get that initramfs stuff done yet?
[03:20] <infinity> Keybuk: Almost.  Finishing it up had to take a backseat to the doc team's getting completely stalled on SVN breaking.
[03:21] <infinity> Keybuk: So, it's likely a tomorrow thang.
[04:06] <BenC> infintity: new lrm up yet?
[04:07] <mjg59> BenC: Yes
[04:17] <infinity> BenC: And new -meta and new d-i, yes.
[04:30] <zul> where did fabbione bugger off to?
[04:32] <BenC> sweet, thanks
[04:32] <BenC> fabbione is sick I think
[04:37] <zul> ah
[05:26] <BenC> infinity: don't you have a G3 mac?
[05:47] <BenC> mjg59: any ideas on Mark's rf_kill issues?
[05:47] <BenC> I thought we had a thinkpad driver for this
[05:48] <mjg59> BenC: Pretty sure he's just got the hardware switch switched off...
[05:49] <cjb> is rf_kill == 2?  That would mean the hardware switch is on.
[06:36] <BenC> cjb: it is
[06:40] <mjg59> It was just the hardware switch
[06:42] <cjb> One day, I'll work out how to turn off the hardware switch on my laptop.
[07:09] <infinity> BenC: Yes, I have a G3.
[07:10] <infinity> BenC: I'm also asleep, so this is clearly not me.
[07:18] <[g2] > BenC is this channel logged anywhere ?
[07:19] <BenC> iinfinity: when you wake up, could you see about booting it with dapper?
[07:19] <BenC> [g2] : Yeah, in my home directory under .xchat2 :)
[07:20] <[g2] > heh
[07:20] <[g2] > anyplace else ?
[07:23] <BenC> not that I know of
[07:23] <[g2] > BenC would you like to have the logs available ?
[07:23] <[g2] > other than from your ~/.xchat/xchatlogs dir :-)
[07:23] <BenC> sure
[07:24] <[g2] > Ok. I'm logging some other channels as I'm doing some other things
[07:24] <[g2] > right now I've got a perl script that rolls the log daily
[07:24] <[g2] > I just need to run a little pretty printer to format it
[07:25] <[g2] > but in the meantime the raw stuff with date and timestamps are there
[07:25] <[g2] > as long as you can tolerate EST
[07:26] <[g2] > I've got my own web site, so I'll just set it up there in the next couple of days. Ok ?
[07:27] <BenC> great, thanks
[07:27] <[g2] > hey np
[07:46] <[g2] > Ok now lets try typing something
[07:59] <[g2] > BenC did you get my pm ?
[08:33] <BenC> g2: yeah
[08:55] <crimsun> [g2] : / BenC: this channel has been logged since November 1, 2005: http://people.ubuntu.com/~fabbione/irclogs/
[08:56] <crimsun> [g2] : nearly all the Ubuntu channels here are logged by ubuntulog.
[08:56] <[g2] > crimsun cool
[08:56] <[g2] > that's why I asked first :-)
[08:57] <[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 closely
[09:17] <BenC> crimsun: ah, ok
[10:42] <lamont> er, ia64
[10:42] <lamont> on the bright side, now that I'm running dapper, installing git-core is easier... or do I want that version?
[10:48] <desrt> when did CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE get turned off?
[10:50] <desrt> BenC; i am messaging you here :)
[10:50] <lamont> desrt: I bet it was when they created the server kernels
[10:50] <desrt> k.  i need it :)
[10:50] <lamont> desrt: install a server kernel?
[10:51] <desrt> powerpc64
[10:52] <lamont> BenC: git-core in dapper gives you the transition mess... do we really want that?
[10:57] <desrt> BenC; i've now emailed you.
[11:13] <BenC> lamont: what transistion mess?
[11:15] <lamont> apt-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)
[11:22] <BenC> lamont: not sure what the issue is, but I know my current git-core installs work fine (from dapper)
[11:23] <lamont> it's possible that I had an old git-core installed
[11:24] <lamont> ah, I have the 'git' package installed too
[11:25] <lamont> and that delivers git.transition, which is the problem child
[11:40] <desrt> BenC; is there a reason why the huge pages were dropped?
