[01:38] <BenC> crimsun: new pci id's are fine
[01:39] <crimsun> BenC: ok, thanks. I was going to err on the side of caution and only send fixes

[03:19] <zul> hey
[03:25] <ajmitch> hi zul :)
[03:26] <zul> stalking me arent you?
[03:26] <ajmitch> of course
[03:26] <ajmitch> how could I not?
[03:26] <zul> yeah...
[08:01] <TheMuso> 
[01:40] <zul> heylo
[01:51] <zul> BenC: i started breezy last night but it was too damn hot
[01:55] <zul> again!
[01:56] <zul> ill let you be the president of my fan club if you stop it
[01:56] <ajmitch> alright
[01:56] <zul> wohoo..
[01:56] <infinity> Waitaminute. *I* want to be the president of your fan club.
[01:56] <infinity> And a roadie.
[01:56] <infinity> And a groupie.
[01:56] <zul> hehe
[01:57] <ajmitch> lucky zul
[01:57] <zul> all of the attention...i dont know what to do
[01:58] <ajmitch> work harder
[01:58] <zul> get right on that
[01:58] <ajmitch> except rsync & me don't get on
[01:58] <zul> uh...talk to BenC 
[01:59] <ajmitch> I will
[01:59] <ajmitch> but I need to learn the tools properly :)
[01:59] <zul> heh...i only do oldish kernels
[02:00] <ajmitch> I'll probably have some sparc kernel stuff to do for work soon
[02:01] <infinity> Hrm, how do I switch a git checkout from one branch to another?
[02:01] <zul> git checkout branch name isnt it?
[02:02] <ajmitch> afaict, it is
[02:16] <kimo> Guys, I compiled a vanilla kernel, it boots ok, but can't find my / LVM partition (/boot is not on LVM)? any hint ?
[02:18] <fabbione> you need an initrd
[02:18] <kimo> ? I have one 
[02:18] <fabbione> self-compiled kernel -> no supportt
[02:18] <kimo> yeah I know ... I am looking for a friendly help :)
[02:18] <fabbione> there might be 23092039 reasons why it can't find it
[02:18] <zul> hey fabbione 
[02:18] <kimo> plus, official kernel wont turn off my laptop which is killing me 
[02:18] <fabbione> missing drivers, ba d initrd and s on..
[02:18] <fabbione> hi zul
[02:19] <fabbione> kimo: it's not really a matter of being friendly or not. It's just too much work to debug a custom.
[02:19] <fabbione> did you make sure that your kernel support initrd?
[02:19] <fabbione> that is loading the right one?
[02:19] <fabbione> etc.
[02:19] <fabbione> check again the config
[02:20] <fabbione> are lvm tools installed in the initrd? if so are they executed?
[02:20] <kimo> fabbione: how do I check ?
[02:20] <fabbione> manually.. one bit at a time
[02:20] <kimo> no option for mkinitrd, to include lvm tools ?
[02:21] <kimo> I used the old .config from ubuntu
[02:21] <infinity> kimo: Don't use mkinird on kernels >> 2.6.12, use mkinitramfs.
[02:21] <kimo> infinity: ! wow thnx
[02:22] <kimo> infinity: any special option for lvm support ?
[02:22] <infinity> kimo: Better yet, make your kernels with make-kpkg, and it'll all be done magically for you in the kernel's postinst.
[02:22] <kimo> I used make0kpkg
[02:22] <infinity> kimo: If you have the lvm tools installed, lvm support "Just Works" in an initramfs.
[02:22] <kimo> I do have lvm tools & the official kernel does see my lvm partition!
[02:23] <kimo> any tips before my battery dies ?
[02:23] <zul> yes try reboot=h to your grub parameters or something like that
[02:23] <infinity> kimo: Just the above.
[02:24] <zul> and what infinity said
[02:24] <kimo> infinity: I do have lvm tools, & used make-pkpkg. I will just try to rebuild mkinitramfs manually 
[02:24] <infinity> kimo: make-kpkg might require "--initrd" on the command line to add the initramfs magic to the package's postinst.
[02:25] <infinity> kimo: But calling mkinitramfs manually should do.
[02:25] <kimo> ok thanks for everything .... :)
[02:25] <kimo> I remember debian would drop me on busybox if it cant find / ?
[02:25] <kimo> is this not in ubuntu 
[02:26] <infinity> It will, IF you use mkinitramfs.
[02:26] <infinity> mkinitrd makes something ENTIRELY DIFFERENT.
[02:26] <infinity> And you don't want it anymore.  Purge initrd-tools.  Make it go away.
[02:26] <kimo> hmm ... it seems somehow I am using mkinitrd
[02:27] <kimo> thanks will do that 
[02:28] <kimo> bye everyone ... thanks for the help
[07:45] <zul> BenC: is there gonig to be an update to sky2 for updates?
[07:45] <BenC> latest sky2 doesn't fix the problems, so not likely
[07:46] <zul> okie dokie ill keep a watch on it
[07:46] <BenC> hmm...it might actually now that I look at the diff
[07:48] <cjb> infinity: Hm.  Do you know what the deal with Fedora is?  I remember they use mkinitrd.
[07:48] <cjb> (But I don't remember whether it actually makes an initramfs.)
[07:49] <BenC> 2.6.17-git sky2 compiles on dapper, so what the heck
[07:49] <BenC> 45k diff, so hopefully something in there fixes out problems
[07:49] <BenC> s/out/our/
[08:28] <zul> mmm...barn
[09:07] <Snake> Hi guys, I know this isnt a support channel, but no one in #ubuntu seems to have an answer, and I would really like to run dapper on this server. It installs fine, but when I reboot it gets to where it says "Uncompressing Linux..... Ok, booting kernel" and freezes :(. Please help..
[09:08] <Snake> I've reinstalled twice, without results
[09:08] <Snake> (thats using the Ubuntu Install CD, not the desktop)
[10:30] <crimsun> BenC: sorry, my logic was reversed yesterday. free_irq() needs to be called before *iounmap().
[11:18] <BenC> crimsun: Yeah, makes more sense now that I think about it too
[11:18] <BenC> otherwise there's a race where the irq handler can work on unmapped io

[11:19] <BenC> Snake: so the installer boots, but grub doesn't get to the kernel?
[11:20] <BenC> Snake: Try removing the "quiet splash" options from the boot command line ('e' to edit the command line in grub)
[11:20] <BenC> see if you get any more output to work from
[11:20] <Snake> BenC: okay one second
[11:21] <Snake> ah crap
[11:21] <Snake> and its not goin well at all
[11:21] <Snake> Freezing it seems as well :(
