[03:36] <cvp> Alright, so I switched to the 686 kernel recently because of P4 hyperthreading junk. It runs absolutely dandy except for half a second before Ubuntu is finished loading. Somewhere in the initialization (before the welcome screen), the text becomes gibberish and funky characters replace the diagnostic messages. I use an ATI graphics card. Can anyone help me?
[03:47] <BenC> are you using fglrx or the stock ati Xorg driver?
[03:47] <cvp> stock ati xorg
[03:47] <cvp> wait...
[03:47] <cvp> or am i...
[03:47] <cvp> one sec
[03:48] <cvp> yeah, stock ati
[03:48] <BenC> sudo apt-get install linux-686
[03:48] <BenC> and then change to fglrx and see if that helps
[03:48] <cvp> Will do. Thanks!
[12:28] <fabbione> Keybuk: i am getting real tons of: "open: No such device or address" booting sparc. do you have any idea what could cause them? or what should i be looking for?
[12:28] <Keybuk> yes
[12:28] <fabbione> Keybuk: .17 and latestes edgy
[12:29] <Keybuk> I know exactly what causes them
[12:29] <Keybuk> I just don't care much ;)
[12:29] <Keybuk> it's just an error
[12:29] <Keybuk> ie. it needs an if (errno != ENODEV) before the perror() call
[12:29] <fabbione> ok.. 
[12:30] <fabbione> thanks
[12:30] <fabbione> BenC: sparc64 UP .17-2 looks good.
[12:31] <fabbione> Keybuk: even with / on xfs on lvm on raid1 :)
[12:31] <Keybuk> huh?
[12:31] <fabbione> sparc64 edgy
[12:32] <Keybuk> the error is just a cryptic way of saying "usplash is not running"
[12:32] <Keybuk> usplash_write shouldn't say that :p
[12:32] <Keybuk> the fix is waiting on the buildd someway
[12:32] <Keybuk> somewhere
[12:32] <fabbione> Keybuk: nah.. sorry i mean to say that the latest udev works on sparc with that setup
[12:32] <Keybuk> oh, right
[12:32] <Keybuk> yeah, latest udev is largely ok
[12:32] <Keybuk> just multiple ide controllers is broke with it
[12:32] <fabbione> Keybuk: ok.. i can test that... if i feel lucky ;)
[12:33] <fabbione> Keybuk: but not before next week when you are back home and ready to hack
[12:33] <Keybuk> no point testing :)  I know it won't work
[12:33] <BenC> fabbione: cool
[12:34] <fabbione> BenC: didn't test Niagara yet but i might sometimes tomorrow
[12:34] <fabbione> i want to finish to prepare GFS2 userland first
[12:46] <Keybuk> fabbione: what's sparc-utils?
[12:47] <fabbione> Keybuk: <fucker>a collection of specific sparc utils</fucker>
[12:47] <fabbione> ;)
[12:47] <Keybuk> universe?
[12:47] <fabbione> Keybuk: main
[12:47] <Keybuk> seeded?
[12:47] <fabbione> it has stuff like prtconf
[12:47] <fabbione> that's the equivalent of dmidecode
[12:47] <fabbione> it should be seeded
[12:47] <fabbione> it was in dapper
[12:48] <Keybuk> it wasn't, because it's in NEW :p
[12:48] <Keybuk> (though that may be the udeb)
[12:48] <fabbione> udeb?
[12:48] <fabbione> ok it's the udeb in NEW
[12:49] <Keybuk> there's a udeb now
[12:49] <fabbione> that package is as old as debian
[12:49] <fabbione> i didn't know...

[12:51] <fabbione> Keybuk: for the udeb we will need to talk to Kamion
[12:51] <fabbione> i dunno if they are actually using it in the new d-i
[12:51] <fabbione> also because the new d-i hasn't been merged yet
[12:51] <fabbione> but i guess we will figure it soon enough
[12:52] <Keybuk> indeeed
