BenCzul: I'm about 10 minutes from committing the custom build infrastructure for things like xen05:12
BenCall you have to do is put in a diff and create a couple trivial files to implement it :)05:12
zulBenC: neat..I could kiss you05:13

jdongBenC: can I bug you for a quick sec about the standing tifm7xx1 bug?06:06
jdongbug 5392306:06
jdongit's been well identified and characterized; the ubuntu bundled tifm7xx1 does not work06:07
jdongbut compiling upstream's stock drivers does work06:07
jdongso something about how it's bundled is making it break06:07
jdongI have this cardreader so I would be more than happy to test any patches, candidate kernels, etc.06:07

BenCdade`: what's up?04:17
dade`works <- with that patch that disables the ata suspend function04:18
BenCthat's interesting that suspend works when the function that's meant to enable it is disabled04:20
BenCmjg59: dade has a problem with suspend on a macbook and a patch he tried to basically comment out the suspend code in libata makes it work04:20
BenCata_piix04:20
dade`no04:20

dade`wait a sec04:21
dade`http://www.mail-archive.com/mactel-linux-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00198.html04:21
dade`see here, that guy did04:21
BenCdade`: I know the patch was for libata, but just pointing out that you are using ata_piix04:22
dade`ah ok, all macbooks use ata_piix04:23
BenCsome use piix, depends on what chipset they have04:23
dade`mine used piix with older kernels04:23
dade`.18 serie04:23
dade`if i remember correctly04:24
dade`BenC: the -386 kernel is smp ?04:25
BenCdade`: no, it's UP04:25

fabbioneleave it running for a few days... see it won't do anything bad10:21
fabbioneit doesn't matter what edgy did10:21
fabbioneit's a different kernel10:22
fabbionethey might have changed just the way in which memory is freed or cache released10:22

fabbioneit might have just been a crontab running to update the locatedb10:30

fabbionenumbers in there means nothing on how the machine is behaving or responding to you10:30
JanCfabbione: I've seen several people who have the impression that feisty needs more memory than edgy to run smoothly, but it's difficult to get hard numbers or find the cause (so it's not necessarily a kernel problem--it could be GNOME or GTK or Xorg or whatever)10:40
