tepsipakkikylem: the new kernel in dapper-proposed works fine with the new tg3 that we have tested, thanks!10:23
kylemexcellent. i'm glad to hear that.10:24
tepsipakkionly problem is that I can't install the machine all the way using that kernel, since d-i doesn't know how to fetch stuff from both dapper and dapper-proposed :)10:25
tepsipakkibut, waiting for the official version10:25
kylemyou should be able to chroot into the install target and install the kernel from apt just after installing bootloader and just before rebooting.10:26
fabbionehem10:26
fabbionethe installer is NOT supposed to fetch from -proposed10:26
fabbionebut it does fetch from -updates once the fix is propagated10:26
tepsipakkifabbione: exactly, but the kernel-udebs are there10:27
fabbionethey are only in the pool10:27
fabbionebut not in the Packages files10:27
fabbione(for dapper and -updateS)10:27
tepsipakkiit does, however, manage to get network up, which is the point10:27
tepsipakkifabbione: ah!10:27
kylemi don't think new kernels should go into -updates without extensive *extensive* testing.10:27
kylemor possibly ever, i'm not really sure what we're going to do with them. the idea seems to be using -proposed to vet patches for merging, not to propogate.10:30
tepsipakkikylem: that's cool, tg3 is fine for merging :)10:31
tepsipakkifabbione: if the udebs are not in Packages, how did I manage to build d-i with -proposed?10:32
tepsipakkior does it matter10:33
fabbionetepsipakki: you can build it manually if you have -proposed in your sources.list10:33
fabbionebut it won't fetch udebs from proposed at install time IIRC10:33
tepsipakkiyep, ok10:34
kylemtepsipakki, what was the bug # for that? have you posted the results to the bug?10:35
tepsipakkikylem: not yet. let me find it10:35
kylemok, thanks.10:35

kylemBenC, http://acpi.sourceforge.net/documentation/processor.html for the description between acpi P/C/T states.11:48
BenCkylem: thanks11:54
mjg59http://madwifi.org/browser/branches/dadwifi-openhal - win11:54
mjg59kylem: You've got an Atheros, right? Fancy giving that a go?11:55
kylemit's back in ottawa and only in minipci form, i'd need to take apart the laptop.11:56
kylemi have the new atheros in my macbook though.11:56
mjg59Yeah11:56
BenCmjg59: sweet11:57
mjg59That's what I was thinking of11:57
kylemok.11:57
kylemthat's hot.11:57
mjg59I've got an Atheros somewhere here that wasn't supported with the last version of madwifi I tested11:57
BenCI've got access to a laptop with an atheros that doesn't work with 0.9.2 either11:57
thommjg59: doesn't look like that has the pci ids for the core 2 duo MBP atheros part at least :/11:58
mjg59thom: Easy to add11:58
mjg59At least with openhal, we have /some/ chance of being able to get something working11:58
kylemthe MBP atheros needs a new HAL.11:58
mjg59Does it need a new HAL, or does it need new IDs adding to the existing code?11:59
thommjg59: new HAL11:59
mjg59Oh!11:59
kylemi think a new hal.11:59
thommjg59: http://madwifi.org/ticket/100111:59
mjg59Rip it out of the macos X driver11:59
mjg59It's madwifi based11:59
kylemhmm. not a bad idea.11:59
thommjg59: ORLY? nice11:59
=== kylem is wondering how much trouble it would be to add ipw3945 support to OS X.
kylemso i can just replace the damned card entirely. :)12:00
mjg59Or try hacking up openhal12:00
mjg59I suspect that it's not actually that different12:00
=== kylem wonders what would be more work
kylemadding ipw3945 to macos, or making power management in linux not suck.12:01
Mithrandirthe former, so you should do the latter.12:02
gnomefreakdoes dapper have an xen kernel?12:02
kylemMithrandir, heh. :)12:02
BenCgnomefreak: nope12:03
=== Lure_ [n=lure@external-7.hermes.si] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
BenCmjg59: I think mine needed new hal...I added the ID's to current madwifi and it just crashed12:03
gnomefreakBenC: we got people wanting a libc6-xen for dapper's existing version of glibc  and they were told not gonna be backported and they dont understand why12:04
BenCgnomefreak: Because dapper can't run as a xen guest would be my best answer12:04
mjg59BenC: Right, the current hal will refuse to run on them12:04
gnomefreakk12:05
mjg59That doesn't necessarily mean that there are significant differences12:05
BenCand if they are compiling their own domU kernels, they can compiler their own libc6 too :)12:05
tepsipakkihrm, my feisty-desktop is resetting the sata-port constantly when under load, should I blame the hardware or something else?12:05
kylemmjg59, i'll go fetch my macbook from my hotel room after lunch and try to rip out the hal.12:05
Mithrandirgnomefreak: because feisty has a completely different glibc version and we don't backport core libraries.12:05
gnomefreakthey were told that ;)12:06
mjg59kylem: Hm. Though reading that bug, I'm not sure what's going on.12:06
mjg59Apple may have changed to a new driver design.12:06
Mithrandiryes, and I didn't see a response signifying that they didn't understand why glibc would not be backported.12:06
mjg59Certainly older versions gave identical hal errors to Linux if you tried to run on an unsupported card12:06
gnomefreakMithrandir: came back with just the xen patches to create a libc6-xen for dapper's existing version of glibc12:07
kylemmjg59, i toss binutils at it and see what sticks.12:07
gnomefreakeither way it means backporting core libs12:07
Mithrandirgnomefreak: then that'd not be a backport, but a stable release update.  I doubt we would accept an update for such a core package to support functionality not in dapper.12:08

kylemgentoo users are muppets04:37
kylemThe Core2Duo is an improved Pentium 4 with 64 bit extensions (x86-64). Thus with GCC 4.1 the nocona architecture is the one to use in 32 bit mode:04:37
kylem  CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"04:37
kylem  CFLAGS="-O2 -march=nocona -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"04:37
kylem(news at 11, i suppose)04:37
mjg59Oh dear.04:37
thom*boggle*04:38
zuler..ok04:39
Mithrandirthey should use -pipe -pipe -pipe for better optimisations.04:39
kylemif they'd just used x86-64, they wouldn't need -fomit-frame-pointer and get debuggability /and/ more registers still...04:40
kylemnot to mention just how wrong using a pentium4 instruction scheduler in core2 is04:40
mjg59They've confused Core2 and Pentium D04:40
mjg59The fact that Intel released two entirely different series of dual-core 64 bit CPUs probably didn't help04:40
kylemonly one of them was actually worth buying.04:41
mjg59Well, yeah04:41
