jbaileySo your git tree works with my config.04:41
jbaileyI'm guessing there's something broken in the Ubuntu config for the A500 wrt to the console.04:41
jbaileyShall I email you my .config file for comparison?04:41

lamontjbailey: did you send me the .config?07:59
jbaileylamont: No, I left for lunch just before 1. =)08:05
jbaileyNice! 08:05
=== lamont boots the 64 bit kernel on his happy-with-32-bit J7k
jbaileylamont: Do you mind just fetching it from bld-5?08:07

lamontno problemo\08:07

=== lamont detects a saddeningly consistent trend in the 64-bit kernel.
lamontamusingly, baldios is in the INSTALL stage of 2.6.22-8.18hppa208:10
lamontfwiw, 'function not implemented' in df output is because of dapper kernel and gutsy userspace08:11
jbaileylamont: Your git tree boots on my a500 with my config.08:11

lamonthrm... maybe  if I gave it the correct initrd08:16
jbailey=)08:17
jbaileylamont: I'm about to run off to visit the notary.  Need anything from me before I go?08:24
lamontblood08:24
lamontand offsets.h08:25
lamontbut this evening will work for those08:25
jbaileyLuvly.  Grats again on the kernel.08:25
fabbioneevening guys08:31
fabbionehey tmarble !08:31
tmarblehi fabbione!08:32
lamont-CONFIG_SMP=y                                                                   08:41
lamont-CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y                                                           08:41
lamont+# CONFIG_SMP is not set                                                        08:41
lamontI _HOPE_ that's not why jbailey's config works08:41
fabbioneROFL08:41
fabbioneyou are fighting with UP/SMP08:42
fabbionewe (sparc) are fighting with +CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y08:42
fabbionebecause our SMP works ;)08:42
fabbioneand of that.. only multiple removal of N CPU's is slightly racy08:42
fabbione;)08:42
lamontwell, I'm hoping that's not it...08:52
lamontbecause SMP should _WORK_ dammit;08:52
lamontthe situation is that jbailey's .config works on a500, gutsy's .config does not.08:52
lamontjbailey's config doesn't work on j7k (pretty sure it's because he excludes lots of buss support...), gutsy's doesn't either08:53
lamontand so I'm doing the binary sort on the config diffs.  only not so binary08:53
fabbioneoh boy08:54
fabbioneyou mean you got to build a kernel that will never work?08:54
lamontfabbione: yep09:15
lamontso... care if I toss an smp 32-bit kernel on baldios?09:16
fabbionenot at all... go ahead09:17
fabbionedo you need me to check if it boots?09:17
fabbionebtw.. saturday i am going in holidays for 3 weeks09:17
lamontI need you if it doesn't boot. :-)09:17
fabbionethere will be nobody babysitting baldios09:18
fabbioneok09:18
fabbionego ahead09:18
fabbionei am here if you need me09:18
fabbionejust make sure not to kill the old kernel :)09:18
lamontfabbione: got dragged off for a few... installing now10:00
fabbionelamont: sure10:01
fabbionei am still here watching a movie10:01
lamontcool.  gotta walk into a meeting room, then will do the reboot.10:01
lamontfabbione: rebooting now...10:13
lamontand baldios is again responding to pings.. woot10:15
=== lamont smacks fabbione
fabbionelamont: ?10:20
lamontpalo.conf caused the box to always boot your kernel, instead of /boot/vmlinux10:22
lamontfixed palo.conf, your kernel is now the recovery kernel (0/vmlinux), and /boot/vmlinux (2/vmlinux) is the default kernel10:22
lamontand the machine is booting again10:22
fabbioneoh right yeah i made sure to always boot a good kernel10:23
lamontright.  and i want to always boot the current kernel, with a known-good fallback for when tha tfails.10:23
fabbionedid it boot?10:26
lamontnow running 2.6.22-8-hppa32, and buildd running10:26
fabbionethat's SMP or UP?10:26
lamontfeel free to keep a watch on it for panics,e tc10:26
lamontSMP10:26
fabbioneok10:26
fabbionei don't have console on it right now. the machine with serial is powered off10:27
lamontthat's why it's hppa32... that one works, and gives us SMP for the buildd10:27
fabbionejust let it run for the night and we will see10:27
fabbionewe have time till my friday morning to roll back if it crashes10:27
fabbionethen you are on your own till 8th of Aug10:27
lamontOK.  once I finish debugging the 64 bit kernel, I'll light up another j7k or two as well.10:28
lamontalthough I expect that baldios/bld-4 will be current before too long anyway10:28
fabbioneehhe10:29
fabbionelamont: did you notice the OOPS in dmesg at boot time?10:33
lamont /dev/md1             679749632 265894532 400047224  40% /home10:33
lamontnot bad for a home workstation/devel machine10:33
lamontthat's a feature10:33
lamontfabbione: 0 byte slab release10:34
lamontiirc10:34
fabbioneok10:36
fabbionelamont: how much is that? 2TB?10:37
lamont.7TB10:38
lamontraid 510:38
fabbioneyeah not bad10:38
lamontsingle-user desktop used for devel work and general existance10:38
fabbioneehehhe10:38
lamontscary part is that the home mirror /srv2 is smaller... :-(10:39
fabbione /dev/fucking/src      340G  298G   39G  89% /usr/src10:39
=== lamont has always been amused by that name
fabbione+ another 250GB in a couple of disks10:39
fabbionethis is the workstation10:39
fabbioneserver has a bit more10:39

lamontgotta fix that one of these days...10:40
lamonthwraid would be nice, too.10:41
fabbioneyeah...10:41
fabbionebut i still prefer software to several extents10:41
lamontwell, good hwraid would be nice. :-)10:42
fabbioneit needs to be really good or it can backfire if you get multiple failures10:42
lamontyeah10:42
fabbionelike in a raid5 sf if by accident 2 disks are gone with no spare, you have a good chance to recover10:43
fabbionemost hw won't allow you to force a start10:43
