[01:13] <zul> hmmm? sorry was at the ER
[01:14] <zul> Mithrandir: you can use the same kernel for dom0/domU
[06:37] <Mithrandir> zul: dom0/domU> ok.
[06:37] <Mithrandir> zul: do you have your tree online somewhere so I can submit useful patches for you?
[12:23] <zul> Mithrandir, unfortunately not yet
[12:45] <zul> Mithrandir: ill try to get a git respository up for you today though
[02:09] <zul> heylo
[02:29] <zul> whee...the weekend just got better and better as it went along
[02:29] <zul> Error:emcp:Mpc:Path Bus 3 Tgt 1 Lun 0 to FCNPR061700203 is dead.
[02:34] <Mithrandir> zul: you've imported all the xen crack into git instead of staying with hg?
[02:36] <zul> Mithrandir: im debating whether to say with hg or just move it to git
[02:36] <Mithrandir> zul: I don't really have an opinion, I'm afraid. :-)
[02:36] <zul> but right now its not version controlled
[02:36] <Mithrandir> zul: you had some lrm in the works as well?
[02:36] <zul> working on it last night
[02:37] <Mithrandir> anything testable yet?
[02:37] <zul> nope..
[02:37] <zul> it was kind of a crazy weekend
[02:37] <Mithrandir> need any help?
[02:38] <zul> well i have an idea on what to do, i was going to do a simple xen-restricted tonight hopefully and ill need someone with nvidia to test it out
[02:38] <zul> and ill need to patch the xen kernel as well
[02:38] <Mithrandir> I've got an nvidia card, so I can test it.
[02:39] <zul> sweet...ill let you know
[02:40] <Mithrandir> also, if you put 81478b5c05b3695eaca71da956206aea9e747f68 into the Xen kernel, that'd be sweet, so I wouldn't have to compile my own kernel.
[02:40] <zul> got a url? :)
[02:40] <Mithrandir> http://evms.sourceforge.net/patches/2.1.1/kernel/2.6.0-test8/bd_claim.patch
[02:41] <zul> great...ill put it in tonight
[02:41] <Mithrandir> thanks
[02:42] <zul> heh i might even put it on launchpad :)
[02:42] <Mithrandir> we should get the "automatically create initramfs" stuff in too
[02:42] <zul> yeah i was thinking about that
[04:35] <mjg59> BenC: Any reason we're using ATA_ENABLE_PATA?
[05:57] <BenC> mjg59: We have PATA modules enabled that are blacklisted
[05:57] <BenC> but we also have pata_pcmcia enabled
[05:59] <mjg59> BenC: But it also changes the behaviour of ata_piix
[05:59] <mjg59> So now it binds to some pata controllers in preference to piix
[05:59] <zul> BenC: for the jmicron boards there is a better patch lying around ill send you it tonight
[05:59] <BenC> mjg59: I thought I disabled that for that driver, I can check
[05:59] <mjg59> The ATA_ENABLE_PATA define only seems to affect modules that support both SATA and PATA devices
[06:00] <BenC> mjg59: Guess I can disable it then
[06:01] <BenC> $ rgrep ATA_ENABLE_PATA debian/config/
[06:01] <BenC> $
[06:01] <BenC> doesn't seem to be enabled
[06:02] <mjg59> BenC: include/linux/libata.h
[06:02] <BenC> ah
[06:02] <BenC> yeah, found that
[06:02] <BenC> I think alan's libpata patch did that
[06:08] <BenC> mjg59: Done, I think it's safe to include that change with this kernel (uploading in about 5 minutes)
[06:30] <zul> whee!
[07:12] <zul> BenC: do we have a canonical list of 3rd party drivers and where they are located in the tree?
[07:13] <zul> basically i want to pick off the drivers one by one and include then in the xen kernel
[08:50] <neuralis> zul: is edgy's xen in a state to be tested?
[08:50] <zul> yep
[08:50] <zul> works for me
[08:50] <neuralis> anything in particular i should be aware of?
[08:51] <zul> well this no 3rd party drivers so no ndiswrapeprs, nvidia yet im working on that
[08:52] <neuralis> that's fine; this is a server machine
[08:53] <zul> coolio...follow the instructions in the wiki though and open any bugs in launchpad
[08:53] <zul> or just bug me
[08:54] <ivoks> zul: any chance of getting grub support for it?
[08:55] <zul> there is a patch for it in debian but i havent looked at it yet
[08:55] <ivoks> i can test it
[08:55] <zul> besides we have to do get the initrd generation working first
[08:56] <ivoks> true, i did initrd with update-initrd, had no problems with it...
[08:56] <zul> cool..ill put it on my todo list
[09:02] <neuralis> zul: er, which initramfs should i be generating by hand?
[09:03] <zul> the xen one
[09:04] <zul> should be in /lib/modules
[09:15] <neuralis> zul: the interesting thing here is that xen appears to require grub, but this machine installed with lilo presumably to accomodate lvm.
[09:29] <zul> yeah it needs grub
[09:31] <zul> i havent tried with lilo though
[09:31] <zul> i doubt it will work though
[09:33] <zul> neuralis: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8809 
[09:40] <zul> right im going home...ttyl
