=== AnAnt [n=anant@81.10.9.182] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
AnAntanyone knows the difference between -386 & -generic kernels ?01:59
tonfageneric is x86 + x86_6402:01
mjg59No it isn't02:01
mjg59generic supports SMP. -386 doesn't.02:02
mjg59-386 supports a small number of drivers that -generic doesn't.02:02
tonfamjg59: then the info in dpkg is wrong :)02:02
AnAntic02:02
AnAntmjg59: so for dual core I would use -generic ?02:02
mjg59tonfa: No, the description is unclear, but that's because the package name is the same on x86 and amd6402:03
mjg59AnAnt: Yes02:03

BenCtfheeE: Does kexec-tools need to be in main?02:10
BenCtfheen: ^^02:11
BenCmj59: Patches I have from you are the toshiba fix and the shut-up patch...is that it?02:12
tfheenBenC: either that, or linux-image-kdump must be demoted to universe.02:12
BenCtfheen: I'd rather the latter02:13
mjg59BenC: There's two that I put with bugs in launchpad02:13
BenC#61981 is one02:13
BenCwhat's the other?02:13
mjg59BenC: Uh. That is, there should also be a Sony fix02:13
BenC61981 is the toshiba_acpi02:13
tfheenBenC: ok.  It's currently listed in supported, so we need to change it there.02:14
mjg59There should also be a diff for libata02:14
mjg59BenC: Subject: [PATCH]  - fix regression in suspending on some Toshibas                02:15
BenCmjg59: the toshiba fix is the libata one02:15
mjg59No02:15
BenC"..on some Toshibas" :)02:16
tfheenBenC: isn't the kexec thingy part of some spec of yours?02:16
BenCthe toshiba_acpi one is different02:16
mjg59Oh, right02:16
mjg59Sorry - you've got both of those. Ok.02:16
BenCtfheen: Yes, but it isn't completed...there's a lack of usable userspace stuff to capture the dumps02:16
tfheenBenC: ok02:17
mjg59BenC: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/6151502:17
BenCmjg59: Do you think the libata patch will also fix: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/64430 ?02:18
infinityBenC: If you want it demoted, can you change debian/control to toss the -kdump stuff in universe/devel, so my beain doesn't bleed when processing queue/new for ABI bumps?02:19
BenCinfinity: Sure thing02:19
infinityOh, not that it will have an ABI bump anyway, cause it's a single unversioned package..02:20
infinityBenC: What was the rationale for that, rather than having it versioned and using linux-meta?02:21
BenCinfinity: Because kdump is not really important enough to follow an ABI...it just needs to boot to an initrafs and capture the dump02:22
BenCinfinity: Also, I don't want it to be possible for there to be 4-20 kdump kernels laying around through ABI bumps02:23
gnomefreakis there anything other than a bad hd that would cause noise on shutdown?02:23
gnomefreakhe filed it under kernel thats why i ask here02:23
infinityBenC: Sounds fair.02:25
mjg59BenC: Nope02:25
infinitygnomefreak: What sort of "noise"?02:25
mjg59BenC: That seems to be some bizarre conflict between the radeon drm and e100002:25
infinitygnomefreak: PCI bus contention (which is both the fault of hardware and drivers, pick one) can cause garbled noise out of sound cards sometimes.02:26
gnomefreakhe found an already reported bug after bugging me all morning :( it seems it on one type of laptop02:26
mjg59gnomefreak: Which bug?02:27
gnomefreakhttp://launchpad.net/bugs/63937  and now he tells me his dell is doing it02:28
mjg59I've no idea what "a sound like in the case of disk failure" means02:29
mjg59Anyway, I've got a Dell02:29
gnomefreakme too but i dont have sata02:30
=== Hobbsee [n=Hobbsee@ubuntu/member/hobbsee] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
BenCmjg59: btw, I looked over the diff between dapper and edgy's ata_piix, and none of the PCI id's were lost02:31
BenCI'm hoping that the changes to the guts don't cause any problems02:32
mjg59BenC: Right, but the change in the mapping stuff will impact some people02:32
mjg59The earlier driver has less idea about whether a port is SATA or PATA02:32
BenCbut it's weird, I tried stock 2.6.17 source, and it breaks for a lot of newer ich8 chipsets02:32
BenCok, well, those people will have to deal with it, unless I get that board from montreal in time to debug the 2.6.17 stock driver02:33
=== JanC [n=janc@lugwv/member/JanC] has joined #ubuntu-kernel

BenCsvu:pong11:59
svu_tfheen, that's what I was going to complain:) restructed acx module works on x86 but not on ppc64smp11:59
svu_it cannot load firmware for some reason11:59

BenCthe dmesg explains it12:00
svu_BenC, what's wrong with the probe?12:01

svu_nothing is missing here12:01
=== svu_ can send entire dmesg if it is any help
BenC-5 == EIO, I/O error12:03
svu_but it is the same hardware, on both x86 and ppc - some old usb wifi dongle12:03
svu_so it is IO error within USB host or smth12:04
BenCnot a firmware upload error it seems12:05
BenCnot sure12:05
BenCI'd need you to compile acx with debug enabled12:05
svu_BenC, NP. Just show me the way. apt-get source it?12:06
BenCtopic has some links12:06
BenCusing git12:06
svu_ok, I'll try.12:07
