ilmaridoesn't anyone on the laptop testing team have one?03:52
mjg59Nope03:53
mjg59I know someone who does, though. I'll try to get it checked.03:53
mjg59Is it still a problem with edgy?03:53
mjg59The driver has changed quite a lot there03:53

porkpieHi ....I am trying to build a Dell 1950 with a PERC 5/i raid controller but the kernel seems to be detecting the scsi drives be the raid controller.  This is causing problems when installing the base system as I see 3 drives instead of the 1 logical drive.  I have been testing with ivoks on the ubuntu-server channel and he has suggested I talk to you guys.  09:23

=== AnAnt [n=anant@81.10.9.182] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
AnAntwhy does edgy use UUID=XXXXX instead of /dev/XdY# in menu.lst & fstab ?10:41
tonfaso that it's stable10:42
AnAntstable ?10:42
tonfaand doesn't change if you plug another drive10:42
tonfaor if you use the libata driver for example10:42
tonfawith the libata driver ide devices change from /dev/hdX to /dev/sdX10:43
tonfabut I think they won't be used in edgy10:43
tonfabut might in edgy+[12] 10:44
AnAntic10:44
tonfaI hope they do the same for network devices names10:45
tonfapersistant names are good :)10:45
ajmitchwe alreayd have /etc/iftab for that10:45
AnAntbut that's hard to maintain10:45
tonfaajmitch: why don't you use udev ?10:46
ajmitchtonfa: I do10:46
tonfa/etc/iftab uses udev for renaming ?10:46
=== tonfa hasn't explored the udev configuration files
ajmitchsee /etc/udev/rules.d/25-iftab.rules 10:46
ajmitchwhich is a bit OT for this channel :)10:47
tonfayup, sorry10:47
AnAntajmitch: but that UUID thing is really wierd if one wants to change configuration10:48
ajmitchyou just need to know how to get the UUID of a filesystem then10:49
AnAntk10:50
tonfaUse dumpe2fs(8) to display a journal devices volume label   and   UUID.10:51

BenClfittl: pong01:34
lfittlBenC: could you take a look at bug #63054 and bug #63553?01:35
BenCporkpie: Which version of ubuntu are you trying?01:37
porkpieBenC:version 6.0.6.1 LTS amd6401:40
BenClfittl: I can do he sdhci patch easily. The sleep problem is going to require someone with the ability to use git-bisect to rebuild hte kernel a bunch of times to find the commit that started the problem01:41
BenCporkpie: Known issues, fixed in Edgy01:42
BenCwill be backported to dapper, but don't expect it soon01:42
lfittlBenC: ok, will try to work together with the person who has the sleep problem to find the commit, would be great if you could merge the sdhci patch01:42
porkpieBenC:can I download Edgy ?01:43
BenCporkpie: You can download the Beta CD's01:44

porkpieBenC:is there a list of fixes for edgy 01:55
porkpieBenC:does it fix the network card issue as well ?01:57
tfheenBenC: re 63085; I think you meant to file it against initramfs-tools adding jmicron to the list of ide modules, didn't you?02:08

=== ivoks [n=ivoks@ubuntu/member/ivoks] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
BenCtfheen: No, initramfs tool does the job on my computer02:28
BenCtfheen: I don't think initramfs tools creates the initrd on the livecd02:29
BenCtfheen: After install, everything works fine02:29
tfheenBenC: trust me, initramfs-tools creates the initramfs on the livecd.02:29
BenCtfheen: Then it isn't doing the same thing as it does on a normal system02:30
BenCtfheen: Are you sure there aren't special scripts in the casper build that tell initramfs tools what drivers to include?02:30
tfheenBenC: yes, it is, but on your system it probably sees that you have it loaded and therefore includes it.02:30
tfheenBenC: there are a couple of modules added, but none removed, no.02:30
BenCtfheen: Re-assign as you think is required02:31
tfheenlook at auto_add_modules in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions02:31
BenCmy first through, given the circumstances was that it was casper, but if you're sure it's initramfs-tools, please re-assign there02:31
tfheencasper adds unionfs, squashfs, loop, vfat, ext3, nls_cp437, nls_utf8, nls_iso8859-1, sr_mod, ide-cd, sbp2, ohci1394 and the net modules02:32

porkpieBenC:the beta iso install is not working :(  I can't create a user ..it doesn't allow you to type the name ????02:41
porkpieBenC:I know this is not the right place to ask these question but I am desperate to get this server built 02:41
BenCporkpie: Use the alternate install CD then02:42
BenCinstead of the livecd version02:42
porkpieOK  ..I don't want to install the desktop though02:43
mjg59#/win goto #assassins02:43
mjg59Grgh.02:43
BenCporkpie: Then use the server install02:43
BenCmjg59: you've been outted...I knew you were undercover for some foreign goverment02:44
porkpieBenC:I am 02:44
BenCporkpie: As in #ubuntu, maybe there's a workaround02:44
BenCporkpie: You can try an edgy daily ISO to see if it's fixed, cdimage.ubuntu.com02:44
porkpieOK cool02:44
porkpiethanks02:45
porkpieBenC:one more question ...where can I find a list of the fixes ??03:03

lamontzul: wth is xen-source packaged as a native package?05:29
zulumm...because i probably made a mistake05:30
lamontzul: sigh05:30
lamontmind you, fixing it requires a new upstream version number, so that you can have an orig.tar.gz to upload05:30
zulso like 2.6.17.3 or something like that05:31
lamontxen-source-2.6.17_2.6.17.0.orig.tar.gz for example05:31
lamontwith a version in debina/changelog of 2.6.17.0-105:31
lamonts/na/an/05:32
lamontwhat it really means is that when you packaged 2.6.17-1, you didn't have a .orig.tar.gz in the parent directory05:32
zulcrappers...ill try to fix that thanks05:33
