| ph8 | hi guys, i'm currently trying to get a Realtek RTL8111B network card working on a P5B | 03:47 |
|---|---|---|
| ph8 | (Asus P5B) | 03:47 |
| ph8 | there's a driver from Realtek about but it needs to be built into the kernel, is that the only way i'm going to get my card working? Is there some generic thing i can do which is a lot simpler? | 03:47 |
| ph8 | Building my own kernel would be a pain in the arse! | 03:47 |
| accumulator | is there a quick reference somewhere on how to re-enable boot splash when building a custom kernel? | 04:00 |
| accumulator | .. with make-kpkg | 04:00 |
| accumulator | ? | 04:00 |

| `ph8 | hey guys, my internet connection's appalling today. I'm trying to get my Realtek 8168 network card to be supported in edgy-latest - the only option appears to be me compiling my own kernel with the drivers in - is that indeed the simplest solution? | 04:14 |

| BenC | actually, no, the best way would be to compile the module against the linux-headers package | 05:01 |

| tfheen | BenC: I wonder if one of the latest dapper kernel uploads have broken something for me. One of my hosts (amd64) dies when it gets some I/O load. The latest one gave me about 110k "scheduling while atomic: swapper/0xfffffffe/0" in the kernel log. | 05:32 |

| gnomefreak | BenC: we are getting alot of people not beable to boot its sending them right to busy box. im looking for a bug that had a workaround for it but is this a kernel issue or a usplash issue i cant remember | 05:55 |
| === tuxmaniac [n=aanjhan@unaffiliated/tuxmaniac] has joined #ubuntu-kernel | ||
| ivoks | that can only be kernel issue | 06:10 |
| gnomefreak | im begining to think its the UUID | 06:19 |
| gnomefreak | i have 2 people in #ubuntu+1 with same issue i dont think either have hdxx | 06:19 |

| BenC | gnomefreak: They need to check /dev/disk/by-uuid/ and see if the device exists | 07:28 |
| BenC | check "cat /proc/cmdline" to make sure it's right | 07:28 |
| BenC | gnomefreak: Are these fresh installs, or upgrades? | 07:28 |
| gnomefreak | upgrades | 07:28 |
| BenC | it could be failures in the UUID conversion | 07:30 |
| BenC | we need to check the /dev/disk/by-uuid/ listings against menu.lst, /etc/fstab and /proc/cmdline | 07:30 |
| gnomefreak | neither of them are answering me. i know one of them was trying to get rid of UUID and add hda3 to it but i had to leave | 07:31 |
| BenC | also important is if these are actual partitions or evms/lvm/md | 07:31 |
| gnomefreak | also that guy that was trying to build that reltek module filed a bug on it for it to be included in edgy. is that even possible? | 07:33 |
| BenC | nope | 07:34 |
| gnomefreak | i didnt think so | 07:34 |

| ph8 | BenC: Thanks for answering, sorry to waste your time | 08:26 |
| ph8 | i'll see if my 4gb of mem is recognised after this kernel recompile i'm doing | 08:26 |
| BenC | ph8: Nothing you can compile is going to change the memory | 08:26 |
| BenC | ph8: BTW, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` will help you compile your module | 08:26 |
| BenC | lot better than recompiling the whole kernel | 08:26 |
| ph8 | yes ty i got it working | 08:30 |
| BenC | [ 60.556067] Memory: 4038036k/5242880k available (2206k kernel code, 155236k reserved, 1486k data, 292k init) | 08:30 |
| ph8 | ok, i installed from amd64 daily today and it can only see 3gb or 4 | 08:30 |
| ph8 | * of 4 | 08:30 |
| BenC | ph8: For reference, that is the memory on my 4G box | 08:30 |
| ph8 | you think some of my memory is faulty? | 08:30 |
| BenC | that 155236k reserved, is for various system elements | 08:30 |
| ph8 | i'm using top, is that from your dmesg? | 08:30 |
| ph8 | didn't know it was in there | 08:31 |
| BenC | yes, that's dmesg | 08:31 |
| ph8 | so, on an out of the box amd64 daily install, if it says: [ 29.173492] Memory: 3084280k/3145344k available (2129k kernel code, 60676k reserved, 1424k data, 188k init) - that means one of my memory chips is messed up | 08:31 |
| ph8 | ? | 08:31 |
| ph8 | i can remove them one at a time to make sure | 08:31 |
| BenC | see, one of your mem sticks isn't being seen I bet | 08:32 |
| BenC | check BIOS and see what it sees | 08:32 |
| BenC | run memtest86 too | 08:32 |
| ph8 | memtest sees 3 | 08:32 |
| ph8 | not sure about bios | 08:32 |
| ph8 | cheers i'll give it a go after i install this kernel | 08:32 |
| BenC | if memtest only sees 3, then that's about as bare bones as you can get | 08:32 |
| BenC | ok | 08:32 |
| ph8 | will the -generic i get with the amd64 daily be the 64bit kernel? | 08:32 |
| ph8 | is there a way to test? | 08:32 |
| ph8 | i don't really need to compile this custom kernel if it is | 08:33 |
| ph8 | Linux rigel 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP Fri Oct 13 15:34:39 UTC 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 08:33 |
| ph8 | that looks like 64 to me | 08:33 |
| ph8 | but am i wrong? | 08:34 |
| ph8 | BenC: it's not a faulty stick, just tested them all - saw a post online saying that its a limitation of 'most modern motherboards' that they cannot fully utilise 4gb of RAM, could this just be Asus' current limit? | 08:46 |
| mjg59 | It's not uncommon for lower-end motherboards to map the PCI space over the top of the RAM | 08:47 |
| ph8 | oo | 08:53 |
| ph8 | there's an option in the bios that says 'allow pci overmapping' or something like that | 08:53 |
| ph8 | do you think that should be off? | 08:53 |
| ph8 | or is it actually a good feature? | 08:54 |
| mjg59 | Try changing that, yeah | 08:55 |
| ph8 | will let you know :) | 08:58 |
| ph8 | well | 09:04 |
| ph8 | it was actually disabled | 09:04 |
| ph8 | enabling it gets my mem to 3584 - which i'm happy with, cheers. | 09:05 |
| ph8 | I'm now experiencing 'NMI Watchdog experienced a LOCKUP on CPU 1' though - is that a common one? | 09:05 |
| ph8 | Many reporters on google but no causes/solutions | 09:05 |

| ph8 | just a general newbie question guys - what does the ubuntu kernel have that the stock one doesn't? | 10:00 |
| johanbr | Lots of things, look at /usr/share/doc/linux-image-*/changelog.Debian.gz | 10:22 |
| ph8 | should IA32 be enabled by defalt in the amd64 kernel? | 11:10 |
| ph8 | i get some weird errors when running a binary that works on other machines | 11:10 |
| mjg59 | ph8: It, uh, is, surely? | 11:11 |
| ph8 | hopefully | 11:11 |
| ph8 | i can't run the linux client from folding.stanford.edu | 11:11 |
| ph8 | on my machine | 11:11 |
| ph8 | weird error though | 11:11 |
| mjg59 | What's the error? | 11:11 |
| ph8 | root@rigel:~/bench# ./FAH502-Linux.exe | 11:12 |
| ph8 | -su: ./FAH502-Linux.exe: No such file or directory | 11:12 |
| ph8 | it's definitely there and global +x | 11:12 |
| mjg59 | Run strace against it and see what opens fail | 11:12 |
| mjg59 | That usually means that it's missing the run-time dynamic linker | 11:12 |
| mjg59 | Which may been that you're missing the compatibility libraries | 11:12 |
| mjg59 | CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION=y | 11:13 |
| ph8 | ah! i don't have ia32-libs | 11:14 |
| ph8 | lets see if that makes a diff | 11:14 |
| ph8 | mjg59: ia32-libs sorted it | 11:18 |
| ph8 | cheers! | 11:18 |
| ph8 | my install borked a bit at the end you see, i didn't get anything apart from the base packages | 11:18 |
