BenCMithrandir: in progress02:53
bdmurrayBenC: Does the low latency kernel have different kernel modules?03:01
BenCbdmurray: Nope, it's built using the -generic config, just with some options changed (HZ and PREEMPT)03:10
bdmurrayokay I was looking at a bug where somebody wanted p4-clockmod03:10
BenCbdmurray: however, it's entirely possible that some modules disable themselves when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, so that might change things unknowingly03:11
BenCbdmurray: probably not compatible with preempt, not to mention we close all bugs that pertain specifically to -lowlatency03:11
BenCit's not supported03:11
bdmurrayclose them all? is that documented?03:12
JanCI think maybe assigning -lowlatency bugs to a team of -lowlatency volunteers (if those exist) might be more useful ?03:14
BenCbdmurray: it was understood by the team before I even created the package03:19
BenCand I believe it is in the package name that it is unsupported03:19
BenCs/name/description/03:19
bdmurrayBenC: right my point was just that it might be worth adding to the KernelBugPolicies page03:20
BenCbdmurray: If they expose a real bug, have them verify it on -generic, or it can be closed03:20
BenCbdmurray: true, I hadn't thought about that when I wrote it03:20
bdmurrayBenC: incidentally I can get some kernel smb error messages on my feisty system03:21

BenCbdmurray: it's likely a BIOS bug, but I've seen the same reports (it's a dupe, I assigned to ubuntu-kernel-acpi team)07:01
bdmurrayBenC: okay thanks07:02
eeanBenC:  another user told me they had the same problem07:02
eean /etc/initramfs/modules doesn't have what it needs apparently07:03
BenCeean: Then they probably need the same kernel update :)07:03
eeanits not a kernel issue07:03
eeanhe couldn't boot any of his kernels07:03
BenCnot having modules doesn't cause a kernel panic07:03
bdmurraythe bug I was looking at was bug 9879307:03
eeanyes it does07:03
eeanif you can't access the hard drive07:03
BenCeean: yes, I know, there was a kernel oops that was causing people to drop to a busybox shell07:03
pkl_eean: as BenC says it may be a libata problem. However, if you replaced your grub, and/or updated your fstab, this could also cause problems.07:03
eeaneven without a root=?07:03
eeanI might have replaced my grub07:04
eeanI updated feisty 07:04
BenCeean: if there's no root= in the kernel command line, then that's a whole different issue07:04
eeana bunch of packages07:04
BenCnot even related initramfs modules07:04
eeanBenC: no I mean, can you get a busybox without a valid root07:04
BenCyes07:04
eeanBenC: ok, but .20-12 was working for me before07:04
eeanI had booted from it several times07:05
pkl_eean: you have to check any files using /dev/hdx have been correctly changed to /dev/sdx (or use labels).07:05
BenCcheck your /proc/cmdline07:05
BenCcheck dmesg07:05
BenCcheck lsmod, check lspci07:05
eeanpkl_: my fstab is fine, I've cated it with grub07:05
eeanlol how do I check dmesg ;)07:05
BenCeean: fstab means nothing07:05
BenCit's root= in grub's menu.lst that counts for this problem07:06
eeanI can see dmesg when I boot, but I can't scroll up after a kernel panic07:06
eeanand I have it set correctly07:06
BenCeean: dd if=/proc/kmsg of=/tmp/dmesg bs=1 &07:06
BenCeean: Then you can more /tmp/dmesg07:06
eeanwith what?!07:06
eeankernel panic!07:06
BenCif it's a kernel panic, then you aren't at a busy box shell07:06
eeanno shit ;)07:06
BenCthen you are arguing the wrong case07:07
BenCif the kernel complains "panic: no root, check root=" or some such, then you aren't even passing it an initramfs07:07
eeanyes I am :|07:07
eeanI see it in grub07:07
BenCthen the initrd is broken07:07
BenCsudo update-initramfs -u07:07
eeanyes thats what the other use told me to do07:08
eeanother *user07:08
eeanlike I said, I don't think its a kernel issue07:08
eeancan I burn cd iso on to dvd-r's?07:08
pkl_can you take a digital photo of the problem, and raise a bug.07:08
eeansuppose I could07:09
eeanwait no, my digital camera doesn't work07:09
=== newz2000 [n=matt@unaffiliated/newz2000] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
BenCit's not a bug in the kernel for sure07:09
pkl_mobile phone with camera capability?07:09
BenCeean: did you run the update-initramfs command? or do you not have an older kernel to boot from?07:10
eeanit costs some unreasonable amount to email them and I don't have a connector :)07:10
eeanBenC: I don't have an older kernel to run from07:10
newz2000hi crimsun, was wondering if you may be able to help me with bug # 92171 sometime when you have a chance07:10
eeanwhy I need to burn a cd07:10
eeanbut I have no cd-r's :)07:10
eeanjust dvd-rs07:10
BenCeean: dvd-r should work so long as the drive in that system can read them07:10
eeanwell sure07:10
eeanI wonder if I could do a network boot, that would be nifty...07:11
pkl_network boots are not trivial at the best of times, especially if you don't actually know what's gone wrong :)07:13
eeanoh well I won't try too hard ;)07:13
pkl_best to use boot from a liveCD.07:13

eeananyways, its workign now :)08:12
BenCso it booted properly?08:12
eeanyes08:12
BenCok08:12
eeancould be the extra modules I added to the modules file08:12
eeanor maybe just running it again08:12
BenChas nothing to do with that08:12
BenCthat panic wont happen because of missing modules08:12
eeanso just running it again then08:12
BenCit's because the initramfs didn't mount08:12
BenCright, most likely08:13
eeanbefore I didn't mount /boot into my chroot08:13
eeanso running update-initramfs did nothing :)08:13
BenCyeah, that'll do it too :)08:14
BenCmake sure you have enough freespace on your /boot08:14
BenCthat can cause improper initrd.img creation as well08:14
eeanyes there's like 40mb free08:15
eeanI wonder what caused the issue to begin with08:16
BenCif it fails, then the install/update will tell you08:16
BenCcould have been a million things08:17
BenCjust keep an eye on it, if it happens again try to collect as much info as possible about your setup and anything leading up to it08:17

JanCI have been talking with several other people about feisty, and one thing that (almost) everybody seems to see is that there is more "stuttering" of applications compared to previous Ubuntu-versions10:30
JanCdid anything in the kernel change which could cause that ?10:30
MithrandirJanC: we have an libX11 fix which should fix most of that, I think.  At least if this is for X apps.10:31
JanCthis is mostly a feeling, as nobody has exact data on this (how could we get that?), but considering that I have seen so many people express this...10:31
JanChm, it might be only for X apps10:32
JanCif music/media players can be infected because they use X10:33
Mithrandirbug #88815 might be the one.10:34
Mithrandirif you're on i386, can you try tepsipakki's packages from http://users.tkk.fi/~tjaalton/dpkg/ and see if they help for you?10:34
JanCpersonally I even see this when doing upgrades using synaptic, which may cause other applications to stall since using feisty...10:35
JanCI'm using the i386 -generic kernel yes10:35
JanCI'll try that10:35
