[03:02] <tweety> hi there, can i use 2.4 kernel in feisty ? (or howto get rid of 'FATAL: kernel too old')
[03:03] <kylem> you should be able to, but you can't use an initramfs. what are you trying to do?
[03:04] <tweety> trying to boot a feisty with my own 2.4 kernel "root=/dev/hda1 ro" (no initrd)
[03:05] <tweety> and i got a kernel panic 'Attempted to kill init!'
[03:06] <kylem> did you build in support for all your disk as modules or straight into the kernel?
[03:07] <tweety> with a 2.4.34.1 i386 compile on a feisty (gcc 4.1.2) with no module support
[03:07] <tweety> compiled*
[03:07] <kylem> my other guess would be that upstart uses features that 2.4 doesn't have.
[03:07] <kylem> i've not used 2.4 in years so it's kind of hard to say. :(
[03:08] <tweety> i thinks it's ldconfig which report the 'FATAL: kernel too old'
[03:10] <kylem> try export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.20
[03:14] <tweety> where ?
[03:15] <kylem> oh, i guess if you can't boot that won't work. :/
[03:16] <tweety> maybe in a init.conf like file
[03:18] <tweety> i'll try with a custom initrd
[04:36] <fabbione> nah you can't... glibc will require at least 2.6
[04:38] <tweety> yep
[04:39] <tweety> in dapper it worked, do u think it will on edgy ?
[04:39] <fabbione> no idea
[04:39] <fabbione> haven't used a 2.4 kernel in years
[05:27] <tweety> and does someone know if ubuntu-hardened is still alive ?
[06:44] <mrec> BenC: ping
[06:45] <kylem> god, how are there 70 unconfirmed again?
[06:47] <zul> kylem: because they like to toy with you
[06:47] <kylem> i should subscribe the ubuntu-bugs...
[06:47] <kylem> to you.
[06:47] <zul> no thats ok
[06:47] <zul> thanks though
[08:12] <zul> BenC: ping I have 2.6.20 running under xen and its a total dog at least x-windows at least
[08:16] <BenC> zul: Is the paravirt not working well?
[10:27] <xhaker> crimsun, you there?
[10:30] <crimsun> xhaker: hi.
[10:31] <xhaker> Hi daniel
[10:32] <xhaker> I need your help
[10:32] <xhaker> with an acer ALC883
[10:32] <crimsun> if it's a support issue, we should move to #ubuntu or #alsa
[10:32] <xhaker> i've been watching your commits for the kernel
[10:33] <xhaker> move? really?
[10:34] <crimsun> what's the issue precisely?
[10:34] <xhaker> you've been fiddling with patch_realtek
[10:34] <crimsun> yes, and it doesn't look like the majority of the changes have been merged yet
[10:35] <xhaker> my realtek ALC883 only works when there is no asound.state saved
[10:35] <xhaker> that's the real issue
[10:35] <crimsun> that's a non-issue at this point: not all of the changes have been merged into Ben's tree
[10:36] <crimsun> I'm happy to forward you a copy of the current diff so you can compile your own
[10:37] <xhaker> please :)
[10:37] <crimsun> email?
[10:37] <xhaker> xhaker@gmail.com
[10:38] <crimsun> git-format-patch -o ~ master
[10:38] <crimsun> arr
[10:38] <xhaker> fun fun
[10:38] <crimsun> sorry, focus follows mouse is being wonky
[10:40] <crimsun> sent.
[10:40] <crimsun> Subject: Current HDA Realtek diff (against 2.6.20-10.17)
[10:41] <stgraber> crimsun: Have you done any progress about my sound card issue ? I didn't see anything about that in the -10 changelog
[10:41] <crimsun> stgraber: see above.
[10:41] <crimsun> your issue is fixed in the patch_realtek.c fixes that I sent on March 6th
[10:42] <crimsun> (and hasn't been merged yet)
[10:42] <stgraber> ok, fine, thank you for your job
[10:42] <crimsun> I had several outstanding conexant issues that should be fixed this evening
[10:43] <xhaker> crimsun, do you want me to drop you a word after?
[10:44] <crimsun> xhaker: sure
[10:44] <xhaker> will do
[10:44] <crimsun> I'm likely away from my irc client for a few hours, but a query would suffice
