poningruhi anyone alive?11:39
TheMusoc11:39
poningruis there a possibility of getting this module uploaded http://www.promise.com/support/download/download2_eng.asp?productId=139&category=driver&os=3&go=GO#11:40
poningruTheMuso: I am having the hardest time getting it built11:40
poningrucause they have a weird ass makefile11:40
TheMusoponingru: Sorry dude, didn't mean to do that. KVM and speakup like doing funny things with each other11:41
poningrublargh?11:41
mjg59Why is sata_promise.ko not adequate?11:43
mjg59poningru: Given that there's an in-kernel driver for the hardware already, it's unlikely that we'll include it. Why do you want it?11:46
poningrumjg59: that module is apparently causing troubles11:48
mjg59poningru: Which one, and where?11:48
poningrusorry sata_promise.ko11:48
mjg59Got a bug number?11:49
poningrunope about to file one ;)11:49
mjg59Ok, based on reading that driver, there's no real chance of us including it11:49
poningruhmm k11:49
mjg59It seems to hook straight into the scsi layer11:49
mjg59Rather than using libata11:50
poningruhmm ic11:50
poningruhttp://lwn.net/Articles/122289/ thats the patch that created support for this device back in 2.6.1111:50
poningruatleast in this hardware config sata_promise.ko is failing11:50
poningruso I have to test out couple of other hardware configs to make sure11:51
poningruthe big prob is this box is an old ass dell optiplexx11:51
mjg59In what way is it failing?11:51
poningrujust wont boot even if just the pci card is plugged in and the hdd is plugged directly into the mobo's ide controller11:52
mjg59Won't boot in what way?11:53
poningruyeah let me copy the logs hold on11:54
mjg59Thanks11:54
poningruerr do you know which logs I should look under?12:00
poningru/var/log/dmesg* hasnt turned up anything12:00
poningrumjg59^^12:01
mjg59poningru: If the system is alive when it stops booting, /var/log/kern.log is probably the best bet12:02
mjg59Otherwise you're going to have to copy them down by hand12:02
poningrufrack12:03
poningruok let me do that then12:03

poningrumjg59: ok well the last thing is this: udevd-event[1772] :run-program:'/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit12:15
poningruright before this there is a huge stack trace12:16
poningrumentioning everything from libata and sata_promise to mem pointers12:16

poningrulet me know if you want to see more screencaps12:44
mjg59poningru: Which version of Ubuntu is this?12:49
poningrufeisty12:49
mjg59Ok12:49
poningrugrabbed the cdimage like 2 days ago12:49
mjg59I suspect that it's related to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/7822412:50
poningruah hmm12:51
poningruwell mine is a bit different12:51
mjg59If you could boot without the splash and quiet options, and add vga=ask then choose the 80x50 mode, you ought to be able to get more of it12:51
poningruooh ok12:51
mjg59Alternatively, if it drops you to busybox, does shift+pageup work?12:51
poningrudoh12:51
poningrulet me try both12:51
poningruhold on12:52
poningruthe vga option and shift+pageup worked12:54
poningrulet me grab some better screenies then12:54
poningruyeah nm its almost word for word what that bug shows12:55
poningruexcept ofcourse the other hardware modules12:55
mjg59The important bit is what the "EIP is at" line says12:56
poningruEIP is at pdc_port_start+0x96/0xc0 [sata promise] 12:59
mjg59Ok01:00
poningrubtw this bug is in sarge, etch and edgy 01:01
mjg59Heh01:01
mjg59So probably upstream01:01
poningruyeah01:01
poningruI was going to try a vanilla but never got around to it01:02
mjg59Interesting. It's not entirely clear where it's failing.01:02
mjg59Anyway. Can you follow up to that bug, stick the "EIP is at" line there as well, and mention the precise kernel version you have installed?01:02
poningruyep01:02
poningrubtw thanks for helping with this01:03
poningruI was confoozled for a while with this01:03
mjg59No problem01:03
mjg59We'l try to get that fixed01:03
poningruthanks :)01:03

mjg59BenC: Why do we build prism2_cs?04:58
BenCmjg59: For some people, it works better than the alternative04:58
mjg59BenC: Here, it doesn't work at all04:59
mjg59Despite me having an entirely normal prism 2 card...04:59
BenCdoes hostap_cs work?05:00
mjg59Yup05:00
BenCis there conflicting PCI id's in them? If so, I can disable them in prism2_cs05:04
mjg59It's not PCI05:04
BenCor you can just wait on the driver-manager to select the one you want :)05:04
BenCI thought PCMCIA used PCI id's of sorts05:04
mjg59But yes, there are going to be conflicting IDs - prism2_cs and hostap_cs should drive the same hardware05:04
BenCI thougth I cleaned out the ones in prism2 that hostap had05:04
mjg59Similar, but PCMCIA is effectively ISA05:04
mjg59BenC: I suspect it's matching on some subdevice thing05:06
mjg59PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID123("D",  "Link DWL-650 11Mbps WLAN Card",  "Versi\05:07
mjg59on 01.02", 0x71b18589, 0xb6f1b0ab, 0x4b74baa0), // D-Link DWL-650 11Mbps 802.11\05:07
mjg59b WLAN Card05:07
mjg59That's binding from prism2_cs05:07
mjg59Are you sure there were people that found prism2_cs to work better? prism2_pci I could believe.05:08
mjg59Oh, it's loaded orinoco_cs as well05:08
mjg59This is something of a mess...05:08
BenCYeah, for most of edgy, I had prism2_cs disabled because it wouldn't compile in .17, and sufficient numbers of folks complained about hostap_cs not working to get me to fix it05:09
mjg59Got a bug number?05:09
BenClet me check the change log05:09
mjg59Actually, it's using orinoco_cs05:09
BenCso it's not prism2_cs, or it's not hostap_cs?05:12
BenCI found what I think was the bug, but it mainly mentions prism2_usb05:13
BenCat least it was the bug that prompted me to fix things05:13
mjg59By default, prism2_cs binds and nothing works05:13
mjg59Yeah, prism2_usb is a reasonable choice05:13
mjg59I don't think prism2_cs is05:13
BenCwasn' the first mention of it (I rejected any bugs dealing with it before that)05:14

fabbionekylem: 81782 is an easy one.. tho i don't think we will rebuild d-i or cdimages for it05:32
fabbionekylem: might be still good to get the kernel in case cjwatson decides to upload a new d-i (at least we can get netboot/netinstall to work)05:33
Mithrandirwe'll need a new d-i once the new kernel is in, yes.05:35
fabbioneMithrandir: yeah but that's edgy...05:38

MithrandirBenC: lrm accepted05:47
BenCMithrandir: I'll wait to make sure linux-image and lrm build ok before uploading linux-meta05:48
MithrandirBenC: thanks.  linux-image will need NEW processing and I'm leaving for the movies in about an hour, so if they're done before I'm back, either get another archive admin to process them or wait for me to do it (at about 21 UTC, I suspect)05:49
BenCMithrandir: ok, thanks05:49
BenCMithrandir: how's the weather there since we left?05:49
MithrandirBenC: slightly warmer and a bit more snow.  So it's nice.05:50

Mithrandirkylem: you don't happen to know anything about the LSI 1068 RAID controller in Dapper, do you?  It's supposedly supported, but not with hardware raid activated.10:56
Mithrandirit's also supposedly fixed in 2.6.16.10:56
kylemit sounds familiar.10:57
MithrandirI don't have a machine yet, but I'd be very interested in getting it fixed in dapper, if that'd not too big of a backport.10:59
kylemi'm struggling to remember what the problem is. does it use the cciss driver?11:00
Mithrandirhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/37452 is the same bug, it seems11:01
Mithrandirso yes, it seems like you've committed a fix for it.11:02
kylemwoo. go me. :)11:03
kylemoh. no, it doesn't work right yet. 11:03
kylemi don't have hw to test, and no one has identified which patches fix it.11:03
MithrandirI'll get hardware to test it on in a couple of weeks, then11:03
kylemso i guessed, and wrong.11:03
Mithrandirwell, as long as there exists _some_ fix for it, I'll be able to find out which.11:04
