[02:23] <tmarble> fabbione: what happened to hw ssl accel?
[02:24] <fabbione> tmarble: drowning with my son's diapers
[02:25] <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
[02:26] <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
[02:27] <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
[02:28] <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 ;-)
[02:29] <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
[02:30] <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?
[02:31] <tmarble> how can I help?
[02:32] <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)
[02:33] <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
[02:35] <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
[02:36] <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
[02:37] <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
[02:39] <tmarble> will you have e-mail access during paternity leave?
[02:40] <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)
[02:49] <fabbione_> feh
[02:49] <fabbione_> did you write anything?
[02:50] <tmarble> you vanished?
[02:50] <tmarble> I asked for the bits to the test kernel before you go on leave (if possible)
[02:52] <fabbione__> GO INTERNET!
[02:52] <fabbione__> yes i can make the kernel for you
[02:53] <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
[02:57] <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
[02:58] <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?
[03:09] <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
[03:10] <fabbione> without the fix for the rev2 you can't install
[03:32] <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
[03:33] <fabbione> thanks
[03:33] <fabbione> take care
[03:33] <tmarble> you too (enjoy fatherhood!)
[03:33] <fabbione> thanks
