Using acpi=off or noapic options make no difference [13:45] seb129: How much RAM? [13:47] 512 [13:47] Hm. [13:48] Sorry, no idea in that case [13:49] that's slow from the start of the boot [13:50] "checking if image is initramfs" takes over 10s for example [13:53] when booting in debug mode from the grub entry the load is around 2.5 after the boot [13:53] and that's standard command line mode without anything special running === \sh_away is now known as \sh [14:37] seb128: you are not seb129 ? [14:38] maks_: I'm back to my desktop [14:38] but yes that was me [14:38] ok i've once seen that [14:38] connecting from somewhere else [14:38] ah? [14:38] it was due to non matching ram [14:39] non matching? [14:39] stock kernel or debian kernel but shouldn't matter [14:40] seb128: yes 2 modules that were from different type [14:40] put one out and everything was fine [14:40] ok, thanks [14:41] will try that [14:41] seb128: i rember top giving an incredible 0.2 load on that box [14:41] what is weird is that windows is running normally on the box, shouldn't this sort of issue impact on any OS installed? [14:41] :) [14:41] afair that box worked fine on 2.4 [14:42] but any 2.6 would be trouble [14:42] ok, thanks for the hint [15:52] hi people [15:52] i have a issue with the RT kernel [15:52] madwifi cannot compile [15:53] the option of the kernel for the wireless is not setup correctly [15:53] no problem with the generic kernel [15:53] what's next? how long it will take to release a new RT with this option enable? [15:53] * amitk points at abogani for -rt work, but he is not online [15:54] <_MMA_> wip: I believe theis is a known bug. Im looking now. [15:54] <_MMA_> *this [15:55] _MMA_: oh no. i really don't want to compile my kernel [15:55] _MMA_: when i was young and so motivated i was compiling every week :) [15:55] hi guys [15:56] * _MMA_ waves. [15:56] hi pitti [15:57] BenC: how difficult would it be to add a kernel patch that disables ptrace()/LD_PRELOAD if a particular bit in the executable's ELF header is set? (i. e. what the kernel automatically does for set{g,u}id binaries) [15:57] hey amitk [15:57] BenC: calling prctrl(SET_DUMPABLE, 0) from within the app doesn't work, because it's a race condition [15:57] pitti: does this patch exist, or will we need to write it? [15:58] BenC: I don't know of an existing patch [15:58] wip: it seems that this is reported on Bug #130665 [15:58] Launchpad bug 130665 in linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22 "madwifi fails to load: ath_pci: Unknown symbol _ath_hal_attach" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/130665 [15:58] BenC: I'm not saying that we need to write it, just asking how much effort that would take [15:58] pitti: and is this elf header bit defined somewhere, or are we making something up that may end up conflicting elsewhere? [15:58] BenC: that needs to be defined with upstream, etc. [15:59] BenC: right, we shouldn't make up something ubuntu specific; but let's just pretend we would have a defined field [15:59] henrix: since i installed gutsy, the rt package did not updated once. is there a time frame for releasing the rt-kernel? [15:59] henrix: it's just a matter of enabling wireless option in the kernel [16:01] <_MMA_> wip: abogani will be the guy to talk to. He might be back on later. [16:01] wip: the bug report refers that you just need to built madwifi modules yourself. no kernel recompilation. about new release... don't know. you need to ask abogani [16:01] * wip noted [16:02] henrix: weird, the compilation on RT failed, saying that the kernel doesn't have the wireless options enable [16:02] henrix: no problem on generic kernel [16:03] wip: sorry, I can not help you further :( your sure you have the latest linux rt image? [16:04] wip: 2.6.22.14.21, I believe... [16:08] BenC: according to elf(5) there is a field uint32 e_flags which could be used for that (no defined flags so far) [16:08] BenC: that should be discussed upstream [16:08] henrix: yes. the message when compiling madwifi in RT is: Please enable wireless extensions. [16:08] pitti: ok, sounds easy at first glance [16:09] BenC: I just wonder how much code it would take to call the same dumpable protection that's used for suid binaries for ones with that flag [16:10] henrix: v14+ required, v17+ recommended; option CONFIG_NET_RADIO (kernel 2.6.22 and later: CONFIG_WLAN_80211) [16:10] BenC: is lkml free to post for anyone, or do I need to subscribe? [16:10] pitti: it's wide open [16:10] BenC: cool, thanks; I'll give it a shot then [16:10] pitti http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-taboos.txt [16:10] :) [16:11] heh [16:12] wip: hmm... I just checked and -rt kernel does have CONFIG_WLAN_80211 configured as a module === \sh is now known as \sh_away [16:12] henrix: thanks for taking the time [16:13] wip: sorry for not being that useful :( [16:13] henrix: do you have 1 min to check other requirements [16:13] wip: correction: it has CONFIG_WLAN_80211 built-in, not as a module [16:14] henrix: i guess it's okay, cause: No module versioning support - option CONFIG_MODVERSIONS [16:14] henrix: Wireless Extensions support in kernel [16:14] henrix: can you check for thoses: [16:14] henrix: option CONFIG_SYSCTL [16:14] henrix: option CONFIG_CRYPTO [16:14] BenC: ok to CC: you? [16:14] henrix: option CONFIG_CRYPTO_HMAC [16:14] henrix: option CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES [16:15] henrix: many things... sorry [16:15] wip: if you have the -rt image installed, you can just grep your file /boot/config-2.6.22-14-rt ;) [16:15] pitti: yes, please [16:16] henrix: excellent thanks! [16:16] wip: CONFIG_SYSCTL=y; CONFIG_CRYPTO=y; CONFIG_CRYPTO_HMAC=y; CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES=m [16:16] wip: np [16:25] BenC: sent [16:33] guys i should have a 2.6.24 kernel for xen by midweek next week [16:34] for i386 at least [16:36] zul: I just pushed the -rc5 rebase [16:36] yep working on rc5 as a base === chuck_ is now known as zul [17:59] henrix, _MMA_: problem fixed! i had to use the very last svn version [17:59] it compile fine and the wireless is now fully working [17:59] <_MMA_> wip: I see. Thanx for the FYI. [17:59] wip: great ;) [17:59] thanks to you for working on ubuntu RT kernel [18:00] we need it [18:02] yay! full size decoding with the OLPC's XO -> http://dev.laptop.org/~rverdejo/video_samples/MPlayerFullSize01_mpeg41000_mp2128_622x520.avi [18:02] totally unrelated but though some of you might be interested [18:02] if not, sorry.
