[08:37] <soren> I think I've fixed the "multiple drives in vmware" issue
[08:48] <fabbione> ?
[09:32] <soren> fabbione: Basically, with the gutsy kernels, you could only have one disk per scsi channel under vmware.
[09:32] <fabbione> yes?
[09:32] <soren> I found a workaround and later found that someone did it before me :)
[09:32] <soren> Now we just need to get it applied.

[09:35] <soren> fabbione: So yay \o/ I fixed my first kernel bug :)
[09:37] <soren> I think I've earned a cup of coffee.
[01:23] <Nafallo> kylem: why doesn't /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-video-intel/ have changelog.Debian.gz?
[01:25] <Nafallo> hmm, might be wrong chan actually :-P

[03:30] <rtg> soren: seems simple enough. Do you have the wherewithal to test the fix? 
[03:30] <soren> wherewithal?
[03:30] <soren> Is that a type of fish?
[03:31] <rtg> Do you have  or know someone with an LSI MPT adapter that can test the fix?
[03:31] <soren> To test the patch, create a vm in vmware server (as found in the feisty commercial repository), create more than one hard drive. Boot and see that instead of just the one disk, you now have two. Raise both hands in the air, and shout "yeah!".
[03:32] <soren> That's what I did.
[03:32] <soren> YMMV.
[03:33] <rtg> soren: I don't think you get it :) I want _you_ to verify the fix.
[03:33] <soren> I did already.
[03:33] <soren> I wrote a patch, tested it, shouted "hell yeah", and then found out that someone else had beaten me to it.
[03:33] <rtg> It was not clear from the LP report that you had actually observed the corrected result.
[03:34] <soren> Ah, sorry.
[03:34] <rtg> soren: I'll import the path anf make an SOB on it.
[03:34] <rtg> s/path/patch/
[03:34] <rtg> fuck.
[03:34] <rtg> I'll import the patch and make you an SOB on it.
[03:35] <soren> Alright. The module-init-tools patch is needed as well.
[03:35] <soren> (removing the mpt_channel_mapping stuff)
[03:35] <rtg> Thats a package external to the kernel?
[03:36] <soren> Yes, but managed by the kernel-team, I thought?
[03:36] <rtg> I've never messed with it.
[03:36] <soren> If it's not kept in git, I can do that part for you.
[03:37] <rtg> Its not. You should make the change dependent on > 2.6.22-13.40
[03:38] <rtg> I think the next kernel version will be 2.6.22-13.41
[03:38] <rtg> The next kernel upload ought to be early this week.
[03:38] <soren> Ok. I've got another patch in the works for it.
[03:39] <soren> Completely different issue.
[03:41] <soren> rtg: Hm, module-init-tools doesn't currently depend on a specific kernel version.
[03:41] <mjg59> Yes. It shouldn't.
[03:42] <mjg59> There's no requirement to use packaged kernels
[03:42] <soren> Do we usually not worry about options in module-init-tools are in sync with kernel images?
[03:42] <soren> mjg59: Excellent point.
[03:42] <soren> So just do the change and assume the best?
[03:42] <mjg59> Yes
[03:42] <soren> Just to be sure: Is it kept in any kind of vcs?
[03:43] <mjg59> If apt-get source doesn't say so, then no :)
[03:43] <soren> Cool.
[03:43] <soren> Thanks.
[03:43] <rtg> soren: I'm not surprised, but with a fix like the MPT fusion one it might have to. What is the downside of having the kernel fixed without the  module-init-tools package update?
[03:43] <soren> I'll hold back the upload until the new kernel is released, though.
[03:43] <soren> rtg: None.
[03:44] <soren> rtg: The other way around is troublesome, though.
[03:44] <soren> If the m-i-t change is done before the kernel one, no disks at all will be detected in vmware.
[03:44] <rtg> soren: right, hence the bug report.
[03:44] <soren> Yes, the old one.
[03:45] <soren>  https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/112860
[03:46] <soren> Currently, only the first disk is detected. This is because mpt_channel_mapping causes devices_per_bus=1.
[03:46] <soren> Without mpt_channel_mapping, devices_per_bus ends up being 0.
[03:46] <soren> I.e. teh suxor.
[03:47] <rtg> soren: ok, gimme a bit. I have several things on my list for this morning already.
[03:47] <soren> Sure.
[03:47] <soren> If it just gets in with the next kernel update, I'm perfectly happy. I'm in no more rush than that.
[03:47] <rtg> soren: can do.
[03:48] <soren> I'll do the m-i-t upload when that kernel image hits the archive.
[04:46] <zul> rtg: i probably have one more xen patch to come this week
[04:47] <rtg> zul: Are you looking into Alexander Orlov's complaints about missing modules? I'm just starting to review your pull requests.

[08:23] <Kano> best ask giri

[11:18] <Kano> allee: the code used is in ubuntu-modules
[11:19] <Kano> the kernel itself has it disabled
[11:20] <Kano> i created the patch and the user with that problem reported that it worked
[11:20] <Kano> of course you can create similar patches
[11:20] <Kano> when you know the codec
[11:21] <Kano> modprobe -l|awk /snd-/|xargs rm -f
[11:21] <rtg> I'm just about positive its a Sigmatel codec.
[11:21] <Kano> that would be needed if you want to compile external alsa, that was not done

[11:23] <Kano> but the 13... was wrongly tested

[11:24] <Kano> but when you just compile alsa externally without deleting you test crap
[11:27] <mjg59> If users are building their own modules, they're expected to be able to delete existing ones
