jcoleanyone here know how i can make update-grub force a kernel to be a default, instead of doing an "rm -f /boot/vmlinuz-* /boot/initrd.img-*" beforehand?02:18
infinityjcole: head -n 13 /boot/grub/menu.lst02:20
jcoleinfinity: i want to automate it02:21
infinityjcole: Set the vmlinuz and initrd.img symlinks.02:21
jcoleinfinity: preseed late command chroots into /target and installs a kernel02:21
jcoleinfinity: i can't automatically remove the "running kernel" since it prompts02:22
infinityjcole: sed -i -e 's/do_symlinks = no/do_symlinks = yes/' /etc/kernel-img.conf before you install your kernel.02:23
jcoleinfinity: hmm02:23
infinityjcole: Then, IIRC, update-grub should order the images with the symlinked default at the top of the list.02:23
infinity(though you should test this theory, don't take my word for it)02:24
jcoleinfinity: that's beautiful!02:24
=== jcole cries
jcolei'll try that02:25
jcoleinfinity: that's already enabled... maybe i just need to put the symlinks in and rerun?02:29
infinityDoes it create symlinks in / or /boot, or neither?02:29
infinity(on your test system..)02:29
infinity(the linux-image postinst is what should be creating them)02:30
jcoleFound kernel: /boot/vmlinuz02:31
jcolewohoo!02:31
infinityYeah, cf this code block in update-grub.02:31
infinityif test -f "/boot/vmlinuz" ; then02:31
infinity        sortedKernels="/boot/vmlinuz $sortedKernels"02:31
infinityfi02:31
infinity(Which makes sure it's at the top of the list)02:31
jcoleAWESOME02:31
jcolethat worked perfectly02:31
jcolethanks infinity02:33
jcoleman, this will save me some asspain02:35
jcoleinfinity: i noticed that ubuntu has 686 kernel sele02:41
jcoleduh02:41
jcoleinfinity: what i was trying to say was, how does debian installer find the right kernel for the right arch?02:41
jcoleie: 686 ...02:42
jcolei would like to use that same logic to install the right kernel... for now, i'm selecting the 386 kernel02:42
jcolehmm, i guess i could also just dump the debconf db and see what arch was selected02:43
jcoledebconf-get-selections --installer | grep base-installer/kernel/which-kernel02:45
jcolegot it02:45

lamontsomeone remind me how to boot a sparc box from CD....;05:23
cjblamont: boot cdrom?05:25
lamontboot: boot cdrom05:26
lamontYour imagename `boot' and arguments `cdrom' have either wrong syntax,05:26
lamontor describe a label which is not present in silo.conf05:26
lamontType `help' at the boot: prompt if you need it and then try again.05:26
cjbThat's for the ok prompt, not silo.05:26
lamontdoh... ok.. how do I get to the ok prompt on a serial console?05:27
=== lamont is happily sparc illiterate, you see...
cjbDepends how you're talking to the serial console; you send a brk.05:28
cjbRET ~# works if you're directly on the serial line.05:28
lamont{0} ok boot cdrom05:28
lamontResetting ...05:28
lamontdanke05:28
cjbCool.05:28
lamontor not... things aren't so happy05:29
=== lamont considers the possibility of a bad burn
lamont Rebooting with command: boot cdrom                                    05:30
lamontBoot device: /pci@8,700000/scsi@6/disk@6,0:f  File and args: 05:30
lamontSILO Version 1.4.1005:30
lamontFast Data Access MMU Miss05:30
lamont{0} ok 05:30
dilingerheh05:31
dilingeri remember those05:31
=== lamont burns more slowly...
infinityI had some sparcs that did that consistently...05:36
lamontfabbione: either my CDROM or the server iso is borked.  I'm gonna bet on the first one.05:37
infinityThe only way to get them to boot from CD was to interrupt the firmware checks early, then boot cdrom.05:37
cjblamont: Or your CDROM drive.  :)05:37
infinityFor whatever messed up reason, that made it happy.05:37
lamontcjb: that's what I said.. :-P05:39
cjblamont: Ah, thought you meant your physical CD.05:40
lamontnah - I'd have said 'CD' then. :-)05:40
lamontbut yeah, it's not 100% clear05:41
=== lamont glares at the sparc, wondering why it won't turn on
lamontwell, powercycling and interrupting early didn't make it happy05:45
lamonthrm... the first time I tried installing on that machine, it had the same issue (may 12)05:50

BenCI'm not sure what the hell caused it, but it seems that 2.6.17 is a few orders faster on my i2k than 2.6.15 was07:59
BenCit's now finishing 2nd on my kernel builds, out of 6, when it used to finish 5th or 6th08:00
BenConly thing faster is sparc, and that's because it has 2 (ia64 has 4) kernels to build, and has 6cpus+6gigs-ram08:00
cjbHow long does it take for a single kernel?08:08
=== cjb takes 40m. Pain.
BenCa lot less than that08:11

BenCit boots fine, except that if I reboot, it hangs when it starts the kernel10:01
