AlexExtreme*finally* got linux up and running on my new machine, there seems to be a kernel bug with something in it08:51
AlexExtremedoes ubuntu have any issues with Athlon 64 X2 processors or nForce 550 boards?08:51
Keybuknot that I'm aware of08:54
Keybukwhat was happening?08:54
AlexExtremeI get a kernel panic on boot with apic, it'll only boot with noapic on the command line08:54
AlexExtremehappens with every kernel I've tried so far08:55
Keybukkernel bug, most likely08:56
Keybukor motherboard bug08:56
Keybuktried updating the bios?08:57
AlexExtremeyep, it's the latest revision08:57
AlexExtremeit wouldn't even boot more than once without resetting CMOS on the BIOS it came with08:57
Keybukheh08:58
Keybukseems a common problem with that board according to the interwobble08:58
AlexExtremeinterwobble?08:59
Keybukweb08:59
AlexExtremeah08:59
AlexExtremeit's an abit KN9S board08:59
_ionSeems like abit knows how to make buggy hardware. ;-)09:01
_ionCase in point: Abit BP6, which i happen to have.09:01
AlexExtremewhat problems do you have with that?09:04
_ionIts ATA66 controller is notorious for being almost unusable. I ended up buying a PCI SATA controller.09:06
AlexExtremeah09:06
AlexExtremesata on this board is fine09:06
AlexExtremeit's just those BIOS bugs (solved with update) and the apic bug09:06
AlexExtremewhat mystifies me, is why it shipped with the original BIOS revision from july or something when I bought it like, 2 days ago09:07
wasabi__heh. there's only 3 packages in the commercial repos?09:09
Keybuknoapic and pci=noacpi are the Ibuprofen and Paracetemol of the Linux world09:09
Keybukthey cure all ills09:10
KeybukI personally swear by Asus for motherboards09:10
Keybukthe A8N-SLI I have has never had a single problem09:11
Keybukbut then again, elmo had exactly the same board in a machine, and it OOPSd every time he tried to use the on-board ethernet09:11
AlexExtremehah09:11
AlexExtremewell09:11
wasabi__i've got this great problem at work with the latest kernel in fiesty...09:11
AlexExtrememy dad's ASUS board is quite good09:11
wasabi__locks up on boot while "checking aperture"09:11
Keybuksendmsg(3, {msg_name(22)={sa_family=AF_FILE, path=@/com/ubuntu/upstart}, msg_iov09:13
Keybuk(1)=[{"upstart\n\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\nrunlevel-2", 26}] , msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=09:13
Keybuk0}, 0) = 2609:13
Keybukwhee!09:13
Keybuk(and sometimes I think strace is getting too good at decoding syscalls into useful output)09:13
_ion[artificially sped up low voice]  This channel is sponsored Pfizer09:14
AlexExtremehah09:14
_ionBatteries not included09:15
AlexExtremeahhh, good old windows. i'm setting up my old machine for my mum, it's had windows installed for barely 2 hours and it's got adware on already ;)09:16
_ionWhy Windows?09:16
AlexExtrememy mum doesn't like Linux09:16
AlexExtremeshe's used to windows and she despises change09:16
Keybukdoes she ever upgrade Windows?09:17
AlexExtremeshe likes 200009:18
AlexExtremebut I can't install XP on her box, because I don't have a license and don't want to pay for one09:18
Keybukring them up and ask for a key09:18
AlexExtremeyou think it'll be that easy? ;)09:19
Keybukit is09:21
AlexExtremedoes it cost anything?09:21
hungerAlexExtreme: It is free.09:21
AlexExtremeinteresting09:22
wasabi__what are you talking about?09:22
KeybukI think they assume anyone who rings up and innocently claims that XP isn't accepting their license key, can't possibly be thieving, because no thief would ring them :p09:22
hungerAlexExtreme: Even ringing them up is free:-( But you are supposed to have a license.09:22
AlexExtremehah09:23
AlexExtremebut09:23
wasabi__still noy legal09:23
wasabi__not09:23
Keybukwell, no :p09:23
wasabi__if legal wasn't a concern you could just download an iso from a torrent in about 10 minutes09:24
AlexExtremeI have a copy of XP with a license, but it's already installed on my sister's machine therefore installing it and activating it on another machine would mean that I'd have Microsoft's lawyers on my doorstep within 10 minutes09:24
wasabi__not exactly. ;)09:24
AlexExtremeanyway09:27
AlexExtremegoing to test my new machine with a bit of gaming, bbl09:28
