BenCkylem: I'm running into the same sort of crap in the rt2x00 drivers :/12:19
BenCThe scan work queue has this check at the top of the handler12:19
BenC        if (unlikely(!rt2x00dev->scan))12:20
BenC                return;12:20
BenCthe work_struct is rt2x00dev->scan->work12:20
BenCso not only is it unlikely, it's seems to be just plain buggy if scan == NULL12:20
kylemindeed12:20
BenCbecause it only gets freed at the bottom of the handler12:20
kylemthe wireless code is pretty much crap afaics.12:21
BenCwe need to start a save-the-code foundation so drivers like this stand a chance of actually making it into the kernel proper12:33
kylemagreed12:35
=== kylem is still wondering what's going to happen to dscape.
BenCthey're waiting for when a driver worth going into the kernel actually uses it12:35
=== kylem thought there was a bcm43xx-dscape branch
BenCI think it's in the same git tree as dscape12:38
kylemhmm. ah well.12:39
BenCman, I know what I want to do to fix this rt2x00 the right way, but it's just to much damn work12:40
kylemif it's this bad forward porting, i wonder how bad backporting is going to be... 12:41

mjg59kylem: It's maintained in wireless-dev12:43
kylemi should ping linville and find out wtf is up12:44
BenCI think dscape is on the wireless summit agenda12:52
kylemis there a url for this yet?12:53
BenCkylem: Don't think so, #wireless on the other network12:58

BenCinfinity: ping06:04
infinityBenC: pong06:10
BenCinfinity: Remember the lrm bug where it seemed like a newly installed one wouldn't have correctly run depmod on first boot?06:10
infinityYep.06:11
infinityDid you just find it?06:11
BenCI just experienced it on 2.6.20 lrm over two reboots, and then it went away the first time I ran lrm-manager by hand :/06:11
derekSBenC: http://slovin.info/image6.jpg and http://slovin.info/image7.jpg these were taken with splash and quiet turned on.... i am getting you a screen shot of the unreadible text i get with it turned on06:12
infinityI love how much sense that bug doesn't make.06:12
infinityBenC: Is there any hope of you reproducing it and leaving the system/chroot broken?06:12
BenCI have one other machine that uses lrm so I'll give it a try there06:13
BenCderekS: I'm pretty sure I know what that one is, give 2.6.20 a try when it's available, like within a few days06:13
derekSBenC: http://slovin.info/image8.jpg it freezes printing "text" like this06:13
derekSBenC: ok... i can wait :)06:13
BenCthat garbage I don't know about, but who knows06:14
derekSany idea why there is this nasty grub bug not showing text right?06:14
derekSit happened in edgy for a while, then it magically wnet away :)06:14
derekSBenC: any idea when you are going to try 2.6.20?06:14
BenCyou talking about that last pic?06:14
derekSyea06:15
BenCif that last pic happened after the softlockup, it has nothing to do with grub06:15
derekSno the last pic is when quiet and splash are turned off06:15
derekSseperate boot06:15
BenCit's still not grub06:15
derekSafter the softlockup nothing really happens (for as long as i have left it)06:15

bronsonMy build fails at the end: failure: cannot open upload file ../linux-vserver-image-kdump_2.6.17.1-11.1_i386.deb for reading: No such file or directory07:37
bronsonThat's from dpkg-genchanges.07:39
bronsonIt's right; that .deb doesn't exist.07:40
bronsonDoes anyone know what would generate it?07:40
bronsonAh, I think it's because I changed the flavor...07:52
bronsonYep, that's it.  flavours = vserver-386 but crashdump = 38607:52
bronsonspin spin spin...07:53
bronsonThat's interesting...  in debian/control it says: Kernel Crash Dump is only available on i386, x86_64(amd64) and PowerPC64 systems.07:55
bronsonBut as far as I can tell, a kdump kernel is only generated for 386.  There's no debian/config/amd64/crashdump or debian/config/powerpc/crashdump.07:57
bronsonIs one of these wrong?  Or is my analysis wrong?  :)07:58

_MMA_BenC. I installed Feisty on my laptop. I installed the linux-lowlatency meta. It installs the kernel but didnt update GRUB. Should I file a bug?04:07
kylemBenC, woo.04:08
zulBenC: you are nad your freaking bear :)04:08
BenC_MMA_: It probably updates grub, but -generic would come first...go to the grub menu and select it manually04:08
_MMA_Yea. I looked after I booted. It wasnt listed in menu.lst.04:10
BenC_MMA_: That's not likely the lowlatency kernel's fault...try running "sudo update-grub" manually and see04:10
_MMA_I had to add it manually.04:10
_MMA_Hmm..04:10
_MMA_ Can I remove my entry and still run "sudo update-grub"?04:11
_MMA_Ok. I removed my entry then "sudo update-grub". That worked.04:12

=== kylem needs some way of queueing a kernel package to build across the arches without it taking hours to manually copy files around
kylemor more to the point, queuing three different ones...04:17

BenCI use that for all my local machines, and for the dev machines like davis and faure04:19
kylemoooh. sweet.04:19

BenCdo_build and do_clean go on the remotes04:20
kylemsweet. this should cut a good chunk of time off my turn around.04:20
BenCkylem: Basically the remotes have a git repo, and "build-clean foo" pushes to the remote, and totally blows away any changes and checks out a fresh tree04:21
BenCkylem: My machines here all have /org/<dist>-<arch>/ubuntu-2.604:21
BenCI have amd64 and i386 on the same machine, and it builds both in parallel04:22

zulthanks, sorry for being a pain in the ass08:51
markedwardsCan anyone tell me the status of the sky2 driver problems in the Edgy kernel?  It looks like it didn't get updated with the recent kernel update.08:52
BenCzul: Synced08:53
zulmerci buckets08:53
BenCmarkedwards: That will go into edgy-proposed first08:54
markedwardsBenC: Ah, thanks.  So perhaps in the next kernel update?08:54
BenCdefinitely the next one, just not sure when that will be :)08:55
BenCsweetness, 2.6.20 is built everywhere except ia64 so far08:55
markedwardsGot it, thanks.  Just wondering.  I've got a script running to check my eth0 connection every two minutes and reboot it if there's no IP. That will hold me :-)08:55

BenCthose sorts of things09:19
BenCask them to boot without quite/splash options too09:19
gnomefreakwell after running initramfs (to see if same issue) now no kernel boots09:19
gnomefreakhes in a bad spot and im not sure what he did to get that way09:20
gnomefreakbug #7565509:20
gnomefreakthat is his bug09:20
BenCgnomefreak: Probably easy fix, I think09:22
BenChe needs to boot rescue from CD09:22
BenCI'll put this in the bug report09:22
gnomefreakk09:22
gnomefreakwe no longer have safe kernel mode in feisty (just FYI)09:23
BenCWe still have rescue mode on the CD right? :)09:24
gnomefreaki dont know i cant use livecd09:24
gnomefreaki have to look at alt. cd to see if it has it09:25
gnomefreakit should09:25
gnomefreakalt. shouldnt have it iirc09:25
BenCalt should have a menu option in the installer to mount and chroot into a partition09:27

BenCKeybuk: Any more info on that broadcom firmware?09:32
KeybukBenC: the site is fujitsu siemens09:33
Keybuktheir driver licence implies that you could redistribute the entire driver file unmodified if the other user accepts the EULA as well09:34
Keybukexcept the "entire driver file" is 90MB!09:34
BenCoh, damn09:34
BenCKeybuk: Here's one that's only 0.26Meg09:39
BenChttp://download.fujitsu-siemens.com/download/ShowDescription.asp?SoftwareGUID=6E4EBBDD-D5F8-440B-B556-D345D134E52E09:39
BenCTranslation of the EULA seems to be the same as you describe09:39
Keybukis that the same firmware?09:41
BenCbcmwl5.sys is the driver09:42
BenCand it's in there09:42
BenChmm, fwcutter doesn't work with the .sys in this driver09:43

BenCKeybuk: Do you think we'll need to pop up an EULA for this driver?09:48
