[12:22] <spirit_from_z> Hi everybody! Is it allowed to discuss driver development here? Or is there other channels for this?
[12:23] <kylem> #kernelnewbies is usually a better bet unless it applies directly to ubuntu.
[12:24] <spirit_from_z> Cool. Thanks kylem
[12:24] <kylem> np.
[01:33] <jmg> BenC: bug updated
[01:33] <jmg> is there a companion program to acpi_listen to try and simulate an event?
[01:33] <jmg> is that acpi_fakekey?
[01:34] <jmg> its undocumented
[02:29] <RAOF> Hi.  I'm working on bug #119254, packaging a new upstream KVM.  Since the kernel team is the maintainer of the kvm package, I thought I'd pop in and ask if there's anything special that needs to be done for it.
[02:45] <BenC> RAOF: Is the new upstream coming from debian?
[02:45] <BenC> RAOF: we diverged a lot from debian last release and I'd like to avoid doing they further
[02:47] <RAOF> BenC: It's not coming from debian, but I was going to merge in the debian changes.  The latest upstream is 28, the latest debian is 18.  I don't think 18 works on 2.6.22, but I haven't actually tried.  I probably should :)
[02:47] <BenC> talk to the debian maintainer
[02:47] <BenC> he's very keen on us working together
[02:48] <RAOF> Ok, I'll go for it.
[02:48] <RAOF> We don't actually use kvm-source to build a kernel module, do we?  We use the kvm module shipped in the vanilla kernel?
[02:49] <BenC> yeah
[02:49] <BenC> I mean, yes, we use the kernel module, not kvm-source
[02:50] <RAOF> Good.  I'll fire off an email to the Debain maintainer.

[11:19] <fabbione> BenC: scsi-fc transport || (lpfc && qla2xxxx) are broken
[11:19] <fabbione> badly :)
[11:37] <doko> BenC, kylem: ping
[02:18] <zul> sweeet...
[02:18] <zul> xen-hypervisor-3.1-i386_3.1.0-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
[02:21] <BenC> doko: yo
[02:22] <Nafallo> nice :-)
[06:40] <BenC> mjg59: your account on zinc.kernel.org is setup
[06:41] <BenC> lamont: same for you
[06:41] <BenC> err, zinc.ubuntu.com I mean
[06:41] <lamont> Woto!
[06:41] <lamont> woot, even
[06:42] <lamont> BenC: I know that there are some hppa patches flying around for 2.6.22 that'll make it actually build.. Hopefully those will come down from k.o before I get to actually needing them.
[09:50] <zul> BenC: ping can we update e1000 to the sourceforge version it has support for the ethernet card in #119337
[10:19] <BenC> zul: we will be, kyle will be updating it in lum
[11:37] <BlueDevil> hello, any chance we'll get a desktop kernel with HIGHMEM 64GB support?
[11:38] <crimsun> you may wish to enumerate your case more explicitly.
[11:39] <BlueDevil> i have a dekstop core2duo/asus p5b deluxe/4GB ram; in the bios memory remapping needs to be enabled for the system to see all the memory
[11:40] <BlueDevil> the cool part begins when the bios configures a hole in the 2gb-4gb memory range and the physical 2gb-4gb is remapped to 4gb-6gb
[11:41] <BlueDevil> so the standard ubuntu kernel (with 4gb support) sees 2gb of real memory and 2gb of nothing (reserved)
[11:41] <BlueDevil> which in fact means that only 2 GB are really usable of the 4GB installed in the system
[11:42] <BlueDevil> when booting with a bigiron kernel everything is fine
