[08:58] <benanzo> does the 2.6.20-15-generic include support for EFI on Apple MacBook Core Duo?
[09:03] <BenC> benanzo: yes
[09:06] <benanzo> If I might as a quick question, when I apt-get install elilo, it pulls down efibootmgr as well.  However, when I try to run it it asks for module efivars to be loaded, which doesn't exist in my kernel.  Is there another way to interact with the EFI boot settings?
[09:10] <benanzo> I've been involved in some speculation in the apple-intel forum at ubuntuforums.org about whether it's feasible to get 32-bit Ubuntu to boot in a pure EFI/GPT environment with ELILO or GRUB2.  Not using GRUB or LILO to boot off the MBR.  There seems to be a large conception that ELILO is for ia64 kernels only.
[09:11] <BenC> the efi support in the kernel is mainly meant for supporting efi partitions
[09:12] <BenC> I'm, regretfully, not knowledgeable about how to install ubuntu on mactel
[09:15] <benanzo> that's fine, were getting it installed and running fine using emulated bios in efi and utilizing the gpt's mbr entry for grub.  I was just curious if the 32-bit kernel was able to interact with the EFI appropriately in order to use something like ELILO to boot it.  I'll keep my eye out.
[09:16] <BenC> you wont be using elilo
[09:17] <benanzo> is there another bootloader that can handle it?
[09:17] <BenC> what's wrong with grub?
[09:18] <benanzo> I was under the impression that GRUB2 was where the EFI support was, but it's not nearly stable.
[09:35] <crimsun> BenC: sorry to interrupt, but in doing a test-compile locally for SUBDIRS=sound (ubuntu-feisty.git), are there additional steps beyond the `make O=/tmp/build ..' ones that I should be using?  I noticed in recent test-compiles that EXTRAVERSION isn't being set properly, and I don't remember having to set the top-level Makefile to have it match, say, -15-generic.
[09:36] <BenC> crimsun: if you're building our of source tree, then yes, EXTRAVERSION= needs to be set to match the local kernel
[09:37] <crimsun> BenC: ok, and I need run bzImage once, correct?
[09:40] <BenC> right
[09:40] <crimsun> thanks.
[02:40] <zul> damn firewall
[04:06] <zul> so what was the outcome of the virtualization bof, I was stuck behind a nasty firewall
[05:48] <\sh> anyone knows, why dapper-proposed/restricted is empty?
