mjg59rtg: why did you reject #94859?05:35
rtgmjg59: A momemt while I refresh my memory...05:35
BenCshitty...I installed a dual-boot ubuntu on a vista machine, and now it wont boot vista...just hangs and the lovely Microsoft progress bar05:37
rtgBenC: Sucks to be you.05:38
mjg59kylem: I'm testing Alan's new HPA patch now05:38
kylemmjg59, thank you.05:39
BenCnot that I mind ditching windows, but I think this is a common test case with bad results05:39
rtgmjg59: Maybe I was just cranky that day. I should have reassigned it to another group 'cause its not really a kernel bug. More of a configuration thing.05:40
mjg59rtg: ?05:40
mjg59rtg: The issue appeared to be that the device-id isn't listed in zd1211rw05:41
mjg59That sounds pretty definitively like a kernel problem05:41
mjg59zd1211-mac80211 has the device id, but we removed the modalias export05:41
rtgmjg59: I guess I'd better reread this one for content.05:42
mjg59So the choices would either be add it to zd1211rw (which seems to work), or add a selective set of modaliases for zd1211-mac80211 (that is, use it for devices that it claims to support but zd1211rw doesn't)05:42
BenCmjg59: When you say "which seems to work", have it been tested? I didn't see that in the bug report05:43
mjg59BenC: Based on the link he gives, yes05:43
BenCAh, so yeah, just add the ID's05:44
BenCrtg: Probably best if you check the linux-2.6.git for zd1211rw updates for the device table05:44
BenCmight be more than this one05:44
=== rmjb [n=richard@190.58.13.106] has left #ubuntu-kernel ["over]
BenClooks like we'd still benefit from some of the aliases in zd1211rw-mac80211 being active05:48
BenCWell, the list in 2.6 git matches the one in mac80211 version05:51
BenCThey seem to have removed 2 devices, and added 405:51
mjg59I'd go with that, then05:51
BenCwondering about the ones that got removed05:51
rtgTwo questions: 1) How did zd1211rw register this adapter if it doesn't have the ID in its table?  2) Why don't we migrate toward the more modern (and wireless-dev supported) driver  zd1211rw-mac80211?05:53
rtgDid 2.6.20-12 still have the ID in zd1211rw?05:54
mjg59Because softmac works05:54
mjg59mac80211, less so05:54
rtgmlg59: It looks like 083a:4505 is OK to add to zd1211rw/zd_usb.c, but I'm still confused about how this driver got loaded in the first place.06:06
rtgmlg59 --> mjg5906:07
BenCrtg: he probably manually loaded it to show it wasn't working06:07
mjg59kylem: Alan's new patch seems good06:08
mjg59Except its debug spew is broken06:08
mjg59Though that might actually be my debug spew06:09
rtgBenC: there are several upstream ID additions, but I don't think we want to pull all the zd1211rw updates because of dependencies on wireless-dev stuff, right?06:09
kylemmjg59, hmm?06:09
BenCrtg: the driver in current git isn't using mac8021106:09
mjg59kylem: Eh, whatever. Go with Alan's code.06:10
kylemand not blacklist apple?06:10
kylemit works with piix?06:10
BenCrtg: but there are a lot of changes in the driver which may be needed for the other ID's, so yeah, leave them out06:10
mjg59kylem: Works with piix, yeah06:10
mjg59kylem: Some slightly worrying output, but that might be due to my tree being slightly weird. I'm looking into it, but it seems basically correct06:11

mjg59rtg: Ok. Completely different hardware to the one I used to report the bug.08:12
mjg59rtg: Logged in, nm is showing grey circles.08:13
mjg59rtg: iwconfig says that I'm associated08:13
mjg59So it doesn't appear to be machine-specific08:14
mjg59(One's a bcm4311, one's a bcm4318)08:14
rtgmjg59: Neither does it appear to be adapter specific since you said it would happen w/zd1211rw08:15
mjg59Right, but those are the only two softmac drivers08:15
mjg59(As far as I know)08:16
rtgmjg59: Well, I'm gonna have to dive into the soft MAC eventually. In the meantime, since this has an easy workaround, do you really think this deserves to be 'Critical' ? That is generally reserved for faults and exploits.08:19
rtgBenC: I pushed the zd1211rw device ID changes.08:31
mjg59rtg: It doesn't have any sort of user-discoverable workaround08:39
mjg59From the user perspective, this hardware just isn't going to work08:39

kylemhas anyone used the "linux-source-$foo" binary package to build a kernel recently?10:01
kylemkees was commenting that it was broken in edgy...10:01
johanbrkylem: I did about two months ago, not sure if that counts as recently. That was soon after the 2.6.20 Feisty packages were released.10:04
kylemjohanbr, yeah, thanks.10:04
kylemgood to know it's fixed in feisty then.10:04
johanbrI used make-kpkg, didn't try any of the other methods.10:05
kylemah, ok.10:05

stgraberAnyone heard of problem using some new HP Pavillon with NForce chipset + NVidia gfx card. Seems to have a buggy bios (kernel recommend pnpbios=off), IRQ conflict (on irq7), ACPI (unknown symbol messages) and freeze once X started (~30s freeze every 5 minutes)11:07
stgraberI don't have enough information to make a bug report yet as it's on one of my teachers' laptop11:07
stgraberand he's to reinstall Vista to have to work during his holidays11:08
stgraberbut I'd like to have a way to fix it afterwards. I tried nearly all kernel parameters applying to such situation11:08
stgraberacpi=off, acpi=ht, noapic, irqfixup, irqpull, pnpbios=off and nearly all mix of them11:08
stgraberin the best case -> no a lot of kernel errors (mean pnpbios error no more displayed) but still the IRQ conflict and the freeze ...11:09
stgraberI've a "dmesg" and "lspci -vvn" if someone want to have a look11:09
stgraberbut nothing more till the end of the holidays (ending the 23th)11:10
johanbrstgraber: My (older) HP requires "noapic nolapic". Worth a try, I guess...11:15
stgraberjohanbr: what serie was it ?11:34
johanbrstgraber: An nx6125, which I think is fairly different from the pavilions...11:35
stgraberI've forgotten the nolapic one, I'll add it in the list of things to try next time I'll be in front of this laptop11:36
stgraberIt seems this BIOS is really buggy (phoenix one it seems) but the latest version doesn't fix anything :(11:37
_ionI keep getting hilights, but it's the other Johan being talked to. :-)11:37
stgraber_ion: sorry :(11:39
_ionHaha, no need to be sorry.11:39
stgraberSame thing with me on #canonical-sysadmins with another guy called Stephane :)11:40
_ion:-)11:42
