[12:18] <heno> happy kernel bug day!
[12:19] <heno> I'm going through some NEW bugs here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/20070912
[01:01] <BenC> heno: hey
[01:02] <BenC> heno: I'll be joining you soon, just getting up
[01:14] <heno> good morning BenC
[01:15] <pj_og> Hi! I installed the ubuntu-server, but the base system doesn't boot. I have no idea why. I can boot memtest86+, but trying one of the kernels results only in a "reset". What now? The installation itself went absolutely smooth no error or so. But then rebooting into the base system doesn't work. I was told on #ubuntu-installer to ask the question here since the generic and server kernels...
[01:15] <pj_og> ...might be different. what now?
[01:19] <pj_og> It's on a HP Vectra with 64 MB RAM.
[01:20] <pj_og> Why would the generic (installer) kernel run on it but the server kernel not?
[01:29] <Nafallo> pj_og: what cpu-family is that? AFAIK the server is aimed at i686.
[01:31] <pj_og> i think it's a pentium 2 or so
[01:32] <pj_og> so that might be the reason, right?
[01:32] <Nafallo> not sure. P2 might be i586, not sure.
[01:32] <Nafallo> BenC: wake up and tell us? :-)
[01:33] <pj_og> could I try an install with the normal ubuntu install-CD and use the generic kernel?
[01:33] <pj_og> would that be reasonable?
[03:23] <zul> BenC: id appreciate it if we got the xen amd64 fix before the next upload or even better cherrypick from me tree ;)
[03:23] <BenC> zul: yeah, I'll pull it in
[03:23] <BenC> zul: you did a build/boot test, right?
[03:23] <zul> yep
[03:24] <zul> not the amd64 stuff though since I dont have one but it should work
[03:33] <Mithrandir> zul: you can test in qemu, at least.
[03:34] <zul> i could
[03:46] <BenC> zul: well it needs a build test at least
[03:46] <BenC> as Mithrandir will tell you, the buildd's are not a testing infrastructure :)
[03:47] <zul> BenC: i can do another build test tonight probably
[03:47] <zul> actually i can probably do one right now
[03:48] <zul> ill let you know the results of the build test in a couple of hours 
[03:52] <BenC> zul: also, can you triage bug #135041
[03:52] <zul> is that the xen-create-image one?
[03:52] <BenC> yeah
[03:52] <zul> sure no problems
[03:53] <BenC> zul: thanks
[03:56] <abogani> BenC: Hi Ben.
[03:56] <abogani> BenC: Are there particular reason why fglrx and nvidia are not enabled in l-r-m for rt ?
[03:56] <BenC> abogani: only because I haven't added the fix yet...they will be
[03:57] <BenC> it's the GPL_ONLY symbols getting used, is the reason
[03:57] <abogani> BenC: Which symbols ?
[03:58] <BenC> don't recall which ones
[03:59] <abogani> The not-yet-applied fix contain a workaround for rcu* GPL_ONLY symbols. Are there other ?
[04:01] <abogani> Today i compiled l-r-m and insmod-ed the nvidia-legacy driver without any gpl-symbol related warnings. 
[05:19] <osmosis> if I copied  /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-server/kernel/drivers/hwmon/w83793.ko   into my  /lib/modules/2.6.19  directory...do you think it would work ?
[05:20] <maks_> no
[06:02] <zul> *grumble* *grumble*
[07:19] <bullgard4> What kind of files are stored in /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.20/Documentation/hwmon/ ? What is meant by 'hwmon'? No doubt that this is an abbreviatiation for hardware monitor.
[07:38] <zul> BenC: ping
[07:39] <zul> linux-image-2.6.22-11-xen_2.6.22-11.33_amd64.deb linux-headers-2.6.22-11-xen_2.6.22-11.33_amd64.deb
[07:50] <BenC> zul: sweet
[07:50] <zul> im just about to push a couple of fixes to my tree and ill request another sync
[07:51] <zul> er pull
[07:52] <bdmurray> zul: I'm curious about the hid simple driver and bug 84965.
[07:52] <zul> bdmurray: the keyboard one? yeah its requires an api that hasnt made it upstream yet
[07:53] <zul> and it looks like it hasnt been accepted by the usb people yet either
[07:54] <zul> bdmurray: i talked to BenC about it a couple of weeks ago and it was rejected
[07:55] <bdmurray> That is patch that other distros carry though?
[07:55] <zul> im not sure
[07:55] <zul> users have probably patched their own kernel
[07:56] <bdmurray> There was a comment about "I've resorted to using other distros for a few months now."
[07:56] <bdmurray> Maybe its gentoo. ;)
[07:56] <zul> bdmurray: probaly ;)
[07:56] <zul> bdmurray: its probably not fedora because they dont carry the patch either
