| tmarble | fabbione: what happened to hw ssl accel? | 02:23 |
|---|---|---|
| fabbione | tmarble: drowning with my son's diapers | 02:24 |
| tmarble | ah yes, the joys of fatherhood! | 02:25 |
| fabbione | i have been away 3 weeks for paternity leave and i will be away another 2 weeks starting from monday | 02:25 |
| fabbione | and there is feature freeze while i will be away | 02:25 |
| fabbione | that means no ssl accelerator yet | 02:25 |
| tmarble | is the edgy release date set in stone? | 02:25 |
| fabbione | yeps | 02:25 |
| tmarble | can you share that date? | 02:26 |
| fabbione | iirc 20 Oct | 02:26 |
| tmarble | independently how is the MAU work going (i.e. do you need/want any help)? | 02:26 |
| fabbione | let me check | 02:26 |
| fabbione | it's on the wiki | 02:26 |
| tmarble | no worries | 02:26 |
| fabbione | October 26th | 02:26 |
| fabbione | we are having some problems with edgy silo/kernel | 02:27 |
| tmarble | thanks | 02:27 |
| fabbione | at least on Niagara | 02:27 |
| fabbione | it seems to be ok on other machines | 02:27 |
| tmarble | 2.6.17+? | 02:27 |
| fabbione | yeps | 02:27 |
| fabbione | and we need to boot a test dapper kernel on the new hardware rev2 of the T2000 | 02:27 |
| tmarble | hrmmmm what seems to be the problem? | 02:27 |
| fabbione | since it seems that the hw upgrade breaks | 02:27 |
| fabbione | silo 1.4.12 in edgy doesn't boot at all | 02:27 |
| fabbione | silo 1.4.10 + .17 are having some personaility issues and trashing memory where the initramfs is loaded | 02:28 |
| tmarble | that seems particularly antisocial | 02:28 |
| fabbione | that makes the system basically unbootable | 02:28 |
| tmarble | and that hurts our customer satisfaction ratings ;-) | 02:28 |
| fabbione | well it's edgy | 02:29 |
| fabbione | i am more annoyed about dapper | 02:29 |
| tmarble | why? | 02:29 |
| tmarble | the memory thing? | 02:29 |
| fabbione | because there has been a new hw release and we haven't been notified for certification | 02:29 |
| fabbione | no, silo and kernel booting is only edgy | 02:29 |
| fabbione | but the dapper kernel doesn't recognize the new rev 2 of the T2000 | 02:29 |
| tmarble | if it makes you feel any better I pushed the hw guys so hard before (w.r.t. Ubuntu) that they, um, are not being super responsive | 02:30 |
| fabbione | they did move the sas controller from a PCI-something slot to onboard | 02:30 |
| fabbione | well we will see | 02:30 |
| tmarble | so it sounds like silo needs to recognize rev2 and do something differently? | 02:30 |
| tmarble | how can I help? | 02:31 |
| fabbione | hmm no i think i didn' t explain myself properly | 02:32 |
| fabbione | dapper: | 02:32 |
| fabbione | rev2 hw needs kernel love | 02:32 |
| fabbione | edgy: | 02:32 |
| fabbione | silo and kernel needs love for memory corruption | 02:32 |
| fabbione | (loading the initramfs) | 02:32 |
| tmarble | do you (and David Miller) have rev2 hw? | 02:33 |
| fabbione | nope | 02:33 |
| tmarble | that doesn't help, does it? | 02:33 |
| fabbione | we both have rev 1 with sas controller on PCI | 02:33 |
| fabbione | nope it doesn't | 02:33 |
| fabbione | it would be enough for us if somebody can boot a test kernel | 02:35 |
| tmarble | I presume rev1 can be upgraded? do you know if if it's a field upgrade? | 02:35 |
| fabbione | no i don't think you can | 02:35 |
| fabbione | it means changing the entire motherboard | 02:35 |
| tmarble | so, if I get my hands on a rev2, and you give me the test kernel, then I give you the output.... | 02:36 |
| fabbione | exactly | 02:36 |
| fabbione | or somebody that has it | 02:36 |
| fabbione | it just need a fast netboot | 02:36 |
| fabbione | and grab the console output | 02:36 |
| fabbione | nothing more | 02:36 |
| tmarble | ok | 02:37 |
| tmarble | I supposed to take today and tomorrow off, but I'm going to send a couple e-mails and see what I can get | 02:37 |
| tmarble | will you have e-mail access during paternity leave? | 02:39 |
| fabbione | unlikely | 02:40 |
| tmarble | in that case can you give me the bits to the test kernel now? | 02:40 |
| tmarble | and any instructions (beyond netboot/capture console) | 02:40 |
| === fabbione_ [n=fabbione@p54A8042B.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-ports | ||
| fabbione_ | feh | 02:49 |
| fabbione_ | did you write anything? | 02:49 |
| tmarble | you vanished? | 02:50 |
| tmarble | I asked for the bits to the test kernel before you go on leave (if possible) | 02:50 |
| === fabbione__ [n=fabbione@p54A830BD.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-ports | ||
| fabbione__ | GO INTERNET! | 02:52 |
| fabbione__ | yes i can make the kernel for you | 02:52 |
| tmarble | he's back? | 02:53 |
| fabbione__ | i will prepare it by tomorrow | 02:53 |
| tmarble | great | 02:53 |
| fabbione__ | if it last | 02:53 |
| tmarble | don't forget any other instructions or details that I would need to get you what you need | 02:53 |
| fabbione__ | just netboot really | 02:53 |
| fabbione__ | nothing more | 02:53 |
| tmarble | ok | 02:53 |
| fabbione__ | and grab all the output | 02:53 |
| tmarble | so, to summarize, the kernel needs help | 02:57 |
| tmarble | and silo needs to be updated | 02:57 |
| tmarble | I assume that edgy would get the latest kernel | 02:57 |
| tmarble | if a fix is found for the kernel -- would you use that latest kernel for dapper? | 02:58 |
| tmarble | what is the impact of having (or not) SAS controller on PCI? | 02:58 |
| === tmarble steps away for breakfast | ||
| fabbione | dapper will still have .15 with the fix for rev2 of the hw | 03:09 |
| fabbione | edgy needs to get a proper silo/kernel | 03:09 |
| fabbione | without the fix for the rev2 you can't install | 03:10 |
| tmarble | ok... i have to run now... I'll try and get access to some rev2 hardware..... | 03:32 |
| tmarble | thanks for the tips and I'll do what I can | 03:32 |
| fabbione | thanks | 03:33 |
| fabbione | take care | 03:33 |
| tmarble | you too (enjoy fatherhood!) | 03:33 |
| fabbione | thanks | 03:33 |
