BenCfabbione: Not sure if the ones that have built-in firewire can boot from sbp2 or not12:35
BenCfabbione: Actually, I think it is possible...I remember my Blade 100 had sbp2 support in firmware12:36
fabbioneBenC: hmmm12:36
fabbioneBenC: ok.. people can file bugs.. for now i am happy to support scsi/ide/sbus12:36

bronsonBenC: what are your -updates trees? Are they a place to stage patches before merging into the dist tree?02:22
bronsoni.e. patches are baked in ubuntu-edgy-updates.git, then pulled into ubuntu-edgy.git when it's time to release a new kernel?02:23
BenCbronson: They are in -updates, and supposed to be put into -proposed where the get tested before inclusion in the main tree02:48
=== mdz [n=mdz@cpe-76-173-8-128.socal.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
bronsonBenC: so, if I want to keep my linux-vserver kernel on top of Edgy development, I should periodically rebase it on top of -updates.  That way, when you do build a new kernel, my derivative kernel will be pretty much ready to go?03:09
bronsonor..  maybe I should track -proposed?03:09
BenCkeep it on edgy proper03:10
BenC-updates can be broken at any time03:10
bronsonAh good.  OK, will do.03:10

gnomefreakis it safe to force the overwrite like i would with any other package?12:50

fabbioneBenC: davem has a firewire device here.. we will get the OBP mapping today02:45
fabbionehe also thinks we can boot from it02:45
fabbionebut only if the device is plugged in at poweron02:45
BenCfabbione: Yeah, I think I tested that a loooong time ago02:45
BenCI'm pretty sure you can, if you have the latest OBP for the box02:46
BenCfabbione: Write my name on that firewire drive too, so dave remembers where it came from :)02:46
fabbioneahaha02:46
fabbioneit's just a shell script to parse the obppath sysfs attribute really02:47
fabbionedid you try booting your e3k with the new patched?02:47
fabbionepatches02:47
fabbionefind /sys -name "obppath*"02:47
BenCnot yet, I'll give it a try later02:50

maks_BenC thanks for the merge03:33
maks_i seem to have posted my review of your changes to the wrong channel, will recap03:34
maks_* check_minkver() lives in hook-functions you should have it twice now03:35
maks_* +rm -f /etc/initramfs-tools/modules is doubled in postrm03:35
maks_* ubuntu used to use busybox mount for nfs03:36
=== rrittenhouse [n=tad@cpe-76-188-35-66.neo.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
BenCmaks_: Ah, thanks04:49
kylemBenC, i merged my -updates and the dapper security stuff, what do you think of a -proposed upload?05:08
BenCkylem: I'll look at it in just a couple of minutes05:10
BenCmaks_: Can you merge the s/Build-Depends/Build-Depends-Indep/ change?05:15
BenCmaks_: And if you could add " | busybox-initramfs" to the depends, that would fix all the debian/control merges05:16
=== FabioNET [i=500@217.201.0.11] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
maks_BenC remind me why is the s/Build-Depends/Build-Depends-Indep/ needed?05:18
maks_yes i'll add that to the depends list05:19
BenCmaks_: Because initramfs-tools is binary-indep, so the build-depends are actuallt for the binary-indep portion of the build05:19
BenCOn the Ubuntu build, we only upload source05:19
BenCso the binary-indep portion gets built on i38605:19
BenCin order for the buildd to process that correctly, the build-deps need to reflect reality05:20
maks_ok, thanks for the info05:20
BenCmaks_: One other question I had was the {-q,-Qb} modprobe inconsistencies we have05:21
BenCI think the -b makes it respect modprobe.d blacklists05:21
maks_debian modprobe didn't have that arg irc05:21
BenCand the -Q makes it quiet about ignoring a blacklisted module (which -q wont do)05:21
BenCthe man page doesn't show it, but "modprobe -h" will show it05:22
maks_no it's not there05:22
BenCit has to be, unless you guys have a super old modprobe05:22
BenCwhat version of module-init-tools?05:22
maks_ii  module-init-to 3.3-pre3-105:23
BenCis it -Q or -b that it doesn't have?05:23
maks_-Q05:23
BenCah, right, it's an ubuntu patch it seems05:24
BenCmaybe -qb then05:24
maks_ok05:24
BenCthe -b is the important part, because users need to be able to blacklist modules and have initramfs scripts respect that (e.g. for the case of buggy force loaded modules)05:24
maks_fully agreed05:25
BenCmaybe you could just export one MODPROBE_OPTIONS in /init05:25
BenCmodprobe will respect it, and that'll localize any changes we have to make for -Q05:26
BenCmaks_: In scripts/init-top/framebuffer, the VESA and SPLASH vars aren't used anywhere...I thought it was a leftover Ubuntu patch, but it's in your source05:30
maks_# Set modprobe env05:31
maks_MODPROBE_OPTIONS="-qb"05:31
maks_export ${MODPROBE_OPTIONS}05:31
maks_BenC: indeed, kick those05:32
BenCmaks_: Just uploaded ubuntu4 with the changes you mentioned, thanks.05:33
maks_cool i get the diff, i'm monitoring :)05:34

maks_BenC: the discussed changes on my side are in 0.85f, need to push 0.85e first into testing05:43
maks_  * debian/control: Change Build-depends-indep to Build-depends as we need05:46
maks_    debhelper and cdbs for the clean target, fulfills policy 7.6.05:46
maks_so05:48
maks_not sure if i want to pick that up05:48
BenChmm05:53
fabbioneBenC: get ready for ubuntu5 ? :)05:53
BenCfabbione: Might just be 0.85fubuntu1 :)05:54
fabbioneehe05:55
BenCubuntu5 uploaded...glad this isn't a heave package to build05:56
BenCheavy05:56
fabbioneBenC: are we sure it doesn't have lvm or mdadm stuff?05:57
BenCit has an mdrun that only gets used if mdadm isn't also there05:58
MithrandirBenC: fubuntu < ubuntu. :-P05:58
fabbionehmmm05:59
=== fabbione hopes for the best
BenCfabbione: you asked me to remove it :P06:00
BenCI don't have any machines with a lvm/md root to test06:00
fabbionelvm is ok.. must go06:00
fabbionei am not sure what that mdrun can do without mdadm installed06:00
fabbionei guess i will have to clean up that clusterfuck when i am back in january06:01
fabbioneand the first guy that's gonna complain about the abuse of the word clusterfuck will get to solve all the mess06:01
BenCfabbione: it runs if there is no local-top/mdadm, but it exects mdadm binary to be present if raid is required06:02
fabbioneok, then it's totally useless :P06:02
fabbioneonce you install mdadm you get local-top/mdadm :)06:02
BenCprobably debian/ubuntu friendly06:03
fabbioneprobably06:04
fabbioneor probably due to lack of communication between the 3 developers that can't agree on where these scripts should exists06:04
BenCmaks_: Am I correct that the resume stuff in initramfs supports suspend2?06:04
fabbionebecause our mdadm is the same as debian06:04

maks_fabbione, BenC: the mdrun hook is for partial upgrades from sarge -> etch, where you have initramfs-tools but not yet the new mdadm07:50
fabbionemaks_: kthx.. BenC we can kill it.. we don't support partial upgrades anyway07:50
maks_yes there should be some code in mkinitramfs that can go as well07:51
maks_maraked as to be removed after the etch release07:51
maks_BenC: afaik suspend2 has it's own i-t boot hook, but i might be wrong never used that crap07:52
