AnAntinfinity: I tried without vga= too02:39
AnAntinfinity: didn't work also02:39
mjg59Well, it works, but you won't get any consoles afterwards02:39
mjg59The error is due to the artwork not being complete02:39
AnAntI can try again without vga=02:39
AnAntok, I just unpacked the initrd image02:40
mjg59It won't make any difference02:40

AnAntmjg59: ok back to the usplash thing02:46
AnAntmjg59: I don't understand why it works from the Knot-3 Live CD, yet not working from the installed Edgy02:47
mjg5913:41 < mjg59> 13:39 < mjg59> The error is due to the artwork not being complete02:47
AnAntmjg59: well I seen that02:47
mjg59And that's why it fails02:47
AnAntmjg59: even on the same machine ?02:48
mjg59There's no 640x480 artwork. 02:48
mjg59Yes.02:48
AnAntmjg59: aha, so are there artwork for different resolution ?02:48
mjg59It would look dreadful otherwise02:48

AnAntbtw the linux console has a wierd font after I upgraded02:55
AnAntis that kernel related or what ?02:55
zulno02:55
AnAntwhat then ?02:56
zuli think its usplash related02:56

tonfa(that are not in mainline)05:39
zulyes in git05:40
tonfaany git magic to find it ? because i suppose some patch are just backports, other are only in ubuntu's kernel05:41
zulwhat are you looking for?05:41
tonfaif running an -mm kernel instead of the ubuntu one is "safe"05:43
makx-mm != "safe"05:43
tonfaif i will lose some features or not05:43
tonfamakx: i know i'm running on them since a few years05:43
tonfaand i want to continue that while using ubuntu05:44
tonfayou can contribute some patches easily while running -mm05:44

=== ivoks [n=ivoks@ubuntu/member/ivoks] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
BenCmjg59: ping06:02
mjg59BenC: Hi06:04
BenCmjg59: Would it make sense to backport 2.6.18 libata+drivers to our kernel?06:04
BenCmain reason I'm asking is because there's some core2duo ich8 support in 2.6.18 and it's non-trivial backporting this06:05
mjg59BenC: Urgh.06:05
mjg59I don't see why not, but it's likely you'll have to suck in scsi as well06:05
BenCsounds like a cascading effect...ata->scsi->usb+firewire06:06
BenChopefully I'll get my core2duo laptop soon enough to test all this junk06:06
Nafallohehe, will end up pulling the whole 2.6.18 then ;-)06:08
=== Nafallo sits and select parts to upgrade his server ;-)
zulBenC: uh...kernel-package from unstable you need to create a .config before doing anything06:09
tonfaBenC: is that the libata part where you have to change your fstab ?06:11
tonfabecause ide is seen as sd*06:11
zulBenC: the new kernel-package from debian unstable works with 2.6.18 maybe we should consider resyncing one more time06:15
BenCtonfa: no06:16
BenCzul: I'm not sure I'll have time to look at it, so you may want to look at what bits need to be synced06:16
zulsure..06:16
BenCmjg59: nm, I think I got all the ich8 bits (hopefully)06:19

Goliath23hi08:38
Goliath23is there a known problem with the linux-k7 package and its dependencies concerning the nvidia driver (or linux-restricted-modules in general) linux-k7 depends on the 2.6.15.27 kernel image, but also on the 2.6.15.27 restricted modules package... isn't that a mismatch? because on my system the nvidia module fails to load and modprobe says it can't find it ... insmod works though...08:40
Goliath23in other words: what have I done wrong if modprobe fails to find the nvidia module, but the restricted modules package is installed?08:43
