yarddogthe desktop has kde as well and it uses the kubuntu usplash03:42

yarddogwhat does generic have?03:51
yarddogthis desktop is a prescott and there is no 686 or smp either03:52
gnomefreakgeneric is 686 may  also be 486 and 58603:52
yarddogso its forced to run 38603:52
gnomefreak686 was renamed to -generic03:52
yarddogso i should be running generic?03:53

ivoksich8 doesn't work with latest kernel 9.2305:31
ivoksand i was checking diff with vanilla kernel05:32
ivoksand it's big05:32
ivoksbut vanilla kernel doesn't include support for ich805:32

ph8not sure05:47
ph8downloading now05:47
ph8did yours ivoks?05:47
ivoksno05:47
ph8same error?05:47
ivokswell, i have disk on ich8 and cdrom on jmicron05:48
ivokscdrom wasn't detected at all05:48
ivoksand ich8 stalled for a long time... :/05:49
ph8was ich8 detected in the end though?05:55
ph8there's some guy on bug report saying that the installer is using an old kernel which probably only BenC or Mithrandir would know about - presumably though the installer should use the kernel that gets put into the distro..05:56
ivoksi said that :)05:56
ivoksand it does05:56
ph8ah05:56
ivoksi've tested it this morning05:56
ph8weird05:56
ph8does that mean someone's not updated the installer?05:56
ivoksit's not that weird05:56
ph8or is that how it's meant to work05:57
ph8and since we've got a fixed kernel package can't we just overwrite the one on the install cd?05:57
ivoksthis is automated procedure05:57
ivoksi think tomorrow we'll have new kernel in installer05:57
ph8:(05:57
ph8always another tomorrow05:57
ph8pain in the arse05:57
ivoksph8: safe bet is "the release day"05:58
ph8unless of course Mithrandir's around and is feeling generous? ;)05:58
ph8ivoks: I was hoping to fit this machine on monday/tuesday05:58

ivoksph8: i was hoping to make it work yesterday :)05:58
ph8distros that have server installations05:58
ph8ivoks: Did you say ich8 detection worked?05:59
ivoksonly those that have 2.6.18 kernel05:59
ph8do any have the .18?05:59
yarddogthat kubuntu splash has something to do with the kernel panic05:59
yarddogedgy splash is fine05:59
ivoksph8: there is thousands of linux distribution :)05:59
ph8doesn't answer the question though, does it? ;)06:08
ivoksi don't know :)06:10
ivoks2.6.18 is fresh06:10
ph8do you know an easy way to just copy the kernel on the install cd into the installer?06:10
ph8or is that not do-able?06:10
ivoksi did that06:12
ivoksand i managed to install edgy onto disk06:12
ph8and it works?06:12
ivokseven boot it06:12
ivoksbut (big BUT)06:12

ivoksso... bummer :)06:12
ph8i meant the fixed edgy kernel06:12
ph8which presumably is on the install cd as a package06:12
ph8just not in the installer06:12
ivoksph8: you can do netboot, as i did06:13
ph8don't you have a P5B?06:13
ph8the network card isn't supported06:13
ivoksi don't know what board it is...06:13

ph8i can try it but i'm not sure you're right06:13
ivoksif you have time, you can do it06:13
ph8netboot involves setting up a dhcp server and all that rubbish right?06:14
ph8i don't really have the cabling tbh06:14
ivoksfirst, do apt-get source linux-image-2.6.17-9-38606:14
ph8it would be a trek06:14
ivoksph8: it's easy... you need 5 minutes for setup and hour and half for waiting kernel to compile06:14
ph8this is for netboot?06:14
ph8i have a feeling one of us might be lagging06:14
ivoksph8: no one is lagging :)06:15
ivoksfor netboot, yes06:16
ivoksyou need dhcp3-server and tftpd-hpa06:16
ivoksand apache2 :)06:16
ivoksthose three packages06:16
=== BenC [n=bcollins@debian/developer/bcollins] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
ph8eww06:16
ph8i need to setup software raid as well06:16
ph8will netboot use the latest kernel instead of this old one which seems to be all over the place?06:16
ivoksph8: netboot will use kernel which you will create06:17
ivokswhich would be the same as ubuntu kernel + r1000 module for realtek06:17
ivoksit's easy06:17
ph8this assumes the ich8 fix works06:18
ivoksthat one doesn't work06:18
ph8then my sata's won't get detected?06:18
ivoksbut if you are willing to try my patch...06:18
ph8hmmm06:19
ph8why not submit the patch to these lovely guys?06:19
ivokscause i'm not sure it works :)06:19
ivoksand i can't test it06:19
ph8well then06:19
ivoks:((((((06:19
ivoksbut if you would test it...06:19
ph8i'm going to try today's daily in an hour, i'm not too hopeful from what i've heard already :/ 06:20
ivoksthen we would know if it works or not06:20
ivoksso, you don't want to test this patch? it will take maybe 20 minutes to set everything up (since i allready compiled kernel and modules)06:20
ph8maybe06:21
ph8give me an hour to try this06:21
ph8and then i'll think about it06:21
ph8as i said, if i can get this machine installed on tuesday that would be great06:22
ph8it's the last day i'll be able too really06:22
ph8pressure's on06:22
ivokssame here06:22
ph8i've pm'ed Mithrandir, if he appears maybe he'll do a new build for us so the new kernel can get into that blasted installer06:23
ph8then we'll be on the way \o/06:23

ivoksjezzzz07:00
ivoksph8: please, please, are you willing to test this patch?07:00
ivoksit might make your computer - work :)07:01
ph8it involves a netboot and a rebuild with the r1000?07:02
ph8if so, how are you going to get around the ich8 issue?07:02
ivoksthis get's around ich8 issue07:03
ivoksit solves it07:03
ivoksit also solves PATA part of jmicron driver07:03
ph8and does it involve a netboot or just a patch to the install cd?07:03
ivoksfix in edgy kernel includes only fix for SATA part of jmicron07:03
ivoksnetboot07:03
ph8what do i need to do?07:04
ivoksit's much easier to do it trough netboot than remastering CD07:04
ivoksph8: install tftpd-hpa dhcp3-server apache207:04
ivokspatch is on http://www.grad.hr/~ivoks/ubuntu/jmicron-ich8.diff07:05
ivoksthen you need to get source of edgy kernel; apt-get source linux-image-2.6.17-9-38607:06
ivoksor, if you trust me, i can provide you prebuild image and modules07:06
ph8presumably as soon as edgy dev has fixed this i can update to their kernel?07:07
ph8i won't be tied into this patched kernel for a long time?07:07
ivoksof course07:07
ph8link me to the prebuild then07:07

marcin_antbut yesterday I tried to run edgy from daily build which I installed on some other machine with SATA controller based on VIA chipset07:50
marcin_antbut I just couldn't boot07:50
marcin_antit stopped with some ACPI message related to CPU... 07:50
ivoksnoacpi might help07:50
marcin_antanother thing is - I'm not sure if anyone cares is that on Asus P5B there are 2 NIC's while only one is functional in dapper/edgy...07:51
marcin_antivoks: I just switched ACPI off in bios... unfortunately no success with it07:52
ivokspass noacpi argument to kernel07:53
ivoksf607:53
marcin_antwell now I just installed dapper on this partition07:55
marcin_antI don't have time to fight with it anymore07:55
marcin_antbut just wanted to get some info if is this fixed in edgy daily build07:56
ivoksnone of kernel devs is in here, so no one can give you exact answer07:56

tidiman07help10:30
ph8can you be more specific?10:31
tidiman07i want to install kernel 2.6.18, but two version, how do i do that?10:32
tidiman07like one with default settings, and another customized10:33
gnomefreaktidiman07: 2.6.18 isnt supported by ubuntu my suggestion would be to read the docs on compiling a kernel and start there10:33
tidiman07i can compile it myself, but i dont know if i try to install it again will it tell me its already installed or override10:34
gnomefreakhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild?highlight=%28kernel%2910:34
gnomefreaki would think naming it something differnet add a .1 or something but not positive on that10:36
tidiman07you know what, i'll just backup some stuff and start experimenting10:38

tidiman07thanx, ,later10:39
ph8BenC: lo10:43
ph8BenC: Did that kernel patch (for jmicron) bring in this new 'could not read from install cd' when the kernel's loading? My system now actually crashes earlier10:43
ph8'error reading boot cd' is the exact error sorry10:44
BenCno idea10:44
ph8i see, i'll check my image10:44
BenCI'm just pulling in the patches that jmicron pointed me to, I have no way to test it yet10:44
ph8it appears your shiny new kernel didn't make it to the installer :(10:45
ph8which is a bummer10:45
BenCcheck the kernel version in the initrd (unpack and check /lib/modules)10:45
ph8do you know how often the installer's kernel gets updated by any chance?10:45
ph8sec10:45
BenCyeah, that would suck10:45
ph8how do i unpack initrd?10:45
ph8in the .tar.gz there's just one fine10:45
ph8* file10:45
BenCthere should be an initrd on the cd image10:46
ph8sorry .gz10:46
ph8i see initrd.gz10:46
