[08:46] <Gunner_Sr> Is gutsy (2.6.22) supporting custom DSDT?
[08:48] <IntuitiveNipple> Yes
[08:48] <Gunner_Sr> IntuitiveNipple: thanks.
[08:49] <Gunner_Sr> what is policy for custom DSDTs into the kernel release?
[08:49] <IntuitiveNipple> Gunner_Sr: /etc/initramfs-tools/DSDT.aml and then rebuild the initrd
[08:50] <IntuitiveNipple> Gunner_Sr: [   15.718612] ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... successfully read 23334 bytes from /DSDT.aml.
[08:50] <Gunner_Sr> IntuitiveNipple: thanks again, go that. I notice that there seems to be alot of questions on the forums about ACPI support. where is the best place to find out what work was done in Gutsy, especially catering for laptops?
[08:51] <IntuitiveNipple> here :)
[08:51] <Gunner_Sr> IntuitiveNipple: lol
[08:51] <IntuitiveNipple> actually, for what has been done, the mailing list archives for kernel-team
[08:52] <Gunner_Sr> okay. will creating the custom DSDT give me better control over the fan management?
[08:52] <IntuitiveNipple> It could, if you have a had BIOS DSDT and know how to edit the DSDT to correct the issue
[08:52] <IntuitiveNipple> s/had/bad/
[08:53] <Gunner_Sr> okay, need to do some more investigation on it then looks like.
[08:54] <Gunner_Sr> what entries should I see in the /proc/acpi/fan?
[08:54] <IntuitiveNipple> I fixed this one up for some reason, but can't remember why now :)
[08:55] <Gunner_Sr> I notice that here is toshiba_acpi and thinkpad_acpi, but no dell is there a reason?
[08:56] <IntuitiveNipple> fan depends on the system, my Vaio doesn't report it but it has one, but it would be like /proc/acpi/fan/FAN/state
[08:57] <Gunner_Sr> humm, that's what I would expect to see. I have two fans and don't see anything, interesting.
[08:57] <IntuitiveNipple> Does the dmesg output give any clues?
[08:57] <Gunner_Sr> when I use i8k it knows there are two fans as well, one is controllable, the other is showing a weird state of -22
[08:59] <Gunner_Sr> no, dmesg does not give me anything.
[09:01] <Gunner_Sr> I email dz@debian.org to see if he came across anything in earlier kernel releases and maybe it would shed some light on it.
[09:01] <IntuitiveNipple> I'd guess things like that, on Dell, will be solved for 8.04 since it is an LTS release
[09:01] <Gunner_Sr> in connection to i8k.
[09:01] <Gunner_Sr> yep, I guess so.
[09:02] <Gunner_Sr> thanks again

[13:45] <damianc> kernel panic~!
[14:46] <bmk789> is this not the right place to get help with my kernel?
[17:22] <dvheumen> Hi guys, I know this is not the ideal place to ask this question, but I think one of you might be able to help me... I've compiled a custom kernel with the CFS patch and I read somewhere that there should be a few sched_... options in /proc/sys/kernel. I can only find 1 ... /proc/sys/kernel/sched_compat_yield
[17:23] <dvheumen> Is there any other way I can check if CFS is truly working?
[17:24] <dvheumen> ow sorry, I'm just now reading the title
[19:21] <cathyal> this is pretty funny but i must ask who is a cron geek
