[12:11] <BenC> no upload, send me the .diff.gz and .dsc
[12:11] <BenC> I need to go over it first
[12:12] <zul> ok will do
[12:12] <BenC> dapper CVE's are done
[12:12] <BenC> so that leaves the badger to butcher
[12:12] <zul> whee..
[12:13] <zul> ill get it started tonight
[12:29] <zul> do you have anything you want me to include in breezy?
[02:18] <jcole> anyone 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?
[02:20] <infinity> jcole: head -n 13 /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:21] <jcole> infinity: i want to automate it
[02:21] <infinity> jcole: Set the vmlinuz and initrd.img symlinks.
[02:21] <jcole> infinity: preseed late command chroots into /target and installs a kernel
[02:22] <jcole> infinity: i can't automatically remove the "running kernel" since it prompts
[02:23] <infinity> jcole: sed -i -e 's/do_symlinks = no/do_symlinks = yes/' /etc/kernel-img.conf before you install your kernel.
[02:23] <jcole> infinity: hmm
[02:23] <infinity> jcole: Then, IIRC, update-grub should order the images with the symlinked default at the top of the list.
[02:24] <infinity> (though you should test this theory, don't take my word for it)
[02:24] <jcole> infinity: that's beautiful!
[02:25] <jcole> i'll try that
[02:29] <jcole> infinity: that's already enabled... maybe i just need to put the symlinks in and rerun?
[02:29] <infinity> Does it create symlinks in / or /boot, or neither?
[02:29] <infinity> (on your test system..)
[02:30] <infinity> (the linux-image postinst is what should be creating them)
[02:31] <jcole> Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz
[02:31] <jcole> wohoo!
[02:31] <infinity> Yeah, cf this code block in update-grub.
[02:31] <infinity> if test -f "/boot/vmlinuz" ; then
[02:31] <infinity>         sortedKernels="/boot/vmlinuz $sortedKernels"
[02:31] <infinity> fi
[02:31] <infinity> (Which makes sure it's at the top of the list)
[02:31] <jcole> AWESOME
[02:31] <jcole> that worked perfectly
[02:33] <jcole> thanks infinity
[02:35] <jcole> man, this will save me some asspain
[02:41] <jcole> infinity: i noticed that ubuntu has 686 kernel sele
[02:41] <jcole> duh
[02:41] <jcole> infinity: what i was trying to say was, how does debian installer find the right kernel for the right arch?
[02:42] <jcole> ie: 686 ...
[02:42] <jcole> i would like to use that same logic to install the right kernel... for now, i'm selecting the 386 kernel
[02:43] <jcole> hmm, i guess i could also just dump the debconf db and see what arch was selected
[02:45] <jcole> debconf-get-selections --installer | grep base-installer/kernel/which-kernel
[02:45] <jcole> got it
[03:12] <zul> BenC: sent
[04:06] <BenC> zul: thanks
[04:07] <crimsun> (working on sound/ updates atm)
[05:23] <lamont> someone remind me how to boot a sparc box from CD....;
[05:25] <cjb> lamont: boot cdrom?
[05:26] <lamont> boot: boot cdrom
[05:26] <lamont> Your imagename `boot' and arguments `cdrom' have either wrong syntax,
[05:26] <lamont> or describe a label which is not present in silo.conf
[05:26] <lamont> Type `help' at the boot: prompt if you need it and then try again.
[05:26] <cjb> That's for the ok prompt, not silo.
[05:27] <lamont> doh... ok.. how do I get to the ok prompt on a serial console?
[05:28] <cjb> Depends how you're talking to the serial console; you send a brk.
[05:28] <cjb> RET ~# works if you're directly on the serial line.
[05:28] <lamont> {0} ok boot cdrom
[05:28] <lamont> Resetting ...
[05:28] <lamont> danke
[05:28] <cjb> Cool.
[05:29] <lamont> or not... things aren't so happy
[05:30] <lamont>  Rebooting with command: boot cdrom                                    
[05:30] <lamont> Boot device: /pci@8,700000/scsi@6/disk@6,0:f  File and args: 
[05:30] <lamont> SILO Version 1.4.10
[05:30] <lamont> Fast Data Access MMU Miss
[05:30] <lamont> {0} ok 
[05:31] <dilinger> heh
[05:31] <dilinger> i remember those
[05:36] <infinity> I had some sparcs that did that consistently...
[05:37] <lamont> fabbione: either my CDROM or the server iso is borked.  I'm gonna bet on the first one.
[05:37] <infinity> The only way to get them to boot from CD was to interrupt the firmware checks early, then boot cdrom.
[05:37] <cjb> lamont: Or your CDROM drive.  :)
[05:37] <infinity> For whatever messed up reason, that made it happy.
[05:39] <lamont> cjb: that's what I said.. :-P
[05:40] <cjb> lamont: Ah, thought you meant your physical CD.
[05:40] <lamont> nah - I'd have said 'CD' then. :-)
[05:41] <lamont> but yeah, it's not 100% clear
[05:45] <lamont> well, powercycling and interrupting early didn't make it happy
[05:50] <lamont> hrm... the first time I tried installing on that machine, it had the same issue (may 12)
[09:46] <TheMuso> 
[01:03] <[g2] > congrats to all on the the dapper release!
[02:03] <zul> heylo

[02:50] <zul> heh
[02:50] <lamont> anyway, must run.. .gone all day
[02:51] <zul> toodles
[03:08] <zul> stupid cadence...*smack* *smack*
[04:18] <dilinger> mm, dapperness
[04:20] <zul> alright cadence you made my list
[04:53] <tuxmaniac> zul: what for you use cadence softwre?
[06:44] <zul> BenC: whats up with my hoary diff?
[06:47] <BenC> zul: checking it now
[06:48] <zul> okies
[07:01] <BenC> zul: Ok, send the changelog to pitti and he'll let you know when/if it's ok to upload
[07:01] <BenC> everything looks great though, nice work on your first one :)
[07:01] <zul> thanks..
[07:01] <zul> whats his email address again?
[07:07] <BenC> martin.pitt@ubuntu.com
[07:08] <zul> sent
[07:59] <BenC> I'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 was
[08:00] <BenC> it's now finishing 2nd on my kernel builds, out of 6, when it used to finish 5th or 6th
[08:00] <BenC> only thing faster is sparc, and that's because it has 2 (ia64 has 4) kernels to build, and has 6cpus+6gigs-ram
[08:08] <cjb> How long does it take for a single kernel?
[08:11] <BenC> a lot less than that
[08:12] <BenC> but I have ccache too
[08:15] <cjb> Me too.  :/
[10:01] <BenC> lamont: 2.6.17 is being weird on my ia64
[10:01] <BenC> it boots fine, except that if I reboot, it hangs when it starts the kernel
[10:01] <BenC> it will only boot from a cold start
[10:03] <BenC> oh, wow, that time it came up on reboot
