| poningru | hey guys quick question | 04:43 |
|---|---|---|
| poningru | I have a 01:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02) | 04:44 |
| poningru | with hardy running 2.6.24 | 04:44 |
| poningru | should it be using the b43 driver? | 04:44 |
| poningru | I had ndiswrapper installed | 04:45 |
| poningru | but now its not working | 04:45 |
| crimsun | yes, it should be using b43. | 04:48 |
| poningru | I am going to assume no one has said anything | 04:54 |
| kraut | moin | 07:29 |

| Kano | hi,when will be rc6 merged? | 14:34 |
| zul | Kano: probably not til the new year | 15:01 |
| Kano | not the answer i wanted to hear | 15:05 |
| zul | well it is christmas basically | 15:09 |
| Kano | next monday evening | 15:09 |
| Kano | not before | 15:09 |
| Kano | not today | 15:10 |
| BenC | Kano: the kernel devs (and all of canonical for that matter) are on holiday till Jan 2 | 15:11 |
| Kano | what was the option to disable abi checks? | 15:12 |
| BenC | It's on the wiki | 15:12 |
| Kano | but doesnt that change the version? | 15:13 |
| BenC | skip_abi=true | 15:13 |
| Kano | ok, will try my own patchset then | 15:13 |
| Kano | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/177725 | 15:14 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 177725 in linux "pnpacpi: exceeded the max number of mem/IO resources" [Undecided,New] | 15:14 |
| Kano | do you know if that is fixed in rc6? | 15:15 |
| Kano | also a mini mac did not boot with current 2.6.24 | 15:15 |
| Kano | also does somebody know how to add a hook for initramfs to add a blacklist option | 15:28 |
| Kano | i have such an optin a custon initrd for kanotix, as i need to blacklist prism54 | 15:28 |
| Kano | sometimes ehci-hcd | 15:29 |
| Kano | prism54 is also loaded together with p54pci but my card only needs p54pci | 15:37 |
| Kano | softmac cards never work with prism54 | 15:40 |
| zul | have a good christmas everyone | 17:14 |
| Keybuk | so, if I have a built kernel source | 19:29 |
| Keybuk | and I've changed the code to one module | 19:29 |
| Keybuk | how do I rebuild just that one module? | 19:29 |
| soren | "make M=/path/to/module modules" I belive. | 19:33 |
| soren | The top-level makefile is richly commented. I'm certain there's an example describing just that. | 19:33 |
| soren | Keybuk: ^^ | 19:33 |
| Keybuk | thanks | 19:41 |
| JanC | someone should fix gcc/make to know that by itself ;) | 19:42 |
| Keybuk | that seems to try and build an external module | 19:44 |
| soren | Keybuk: Stop pointing it at an external directory? | 19:56 |
| Keybuk | that didn't work | 19:57 |
| Keybuk | make path/to/module.ko worked from the top level | 19:57 |
| soren | Hmm... I'm sure I've done in-tree builds the same way. Oh, well. | 19:58 |
| mjg59 | Keybuk: Yeah, that's the way I always do it | 20:05 |
| mjg59 | Keybuk: You can actually do it from an unbuilt tree as well, as long as you mkdir .tmp_versions | 20:05 |
| Keybuk | mjg59: so far, I know it's not just insertion that's broken | 21:33 |
| Keybuk | but any kind of detection of the card | 21:33 |
| Torgoton | Hey all. The folks in #ubuntu-installer sent me here. I'm trying the bare minimum install on a very old machine, using only the linux and initrd.gz files. Dapper and Edgy start the installer, but Feisty and Gutsy both crash, even when using the 386 versions. I can point you to the gutsy crash output if you like. Also, my keyboard gets mapped all crazy, but I can start an install (with dapper and edgy) if I use a serial console. | 23:28 |
| ln- | you are very optimistic by assuming that someone cares. | 23:30 |
| Torgoton | Indeed. An optimist I am. | 23:31 |
| Torgoton | I thought someone might care that the kernels built for low-spec machines crash on some of them. | 23:31 |
| ln- | let me quote what i was told about a crash: | 23:32 |
| ln- | 12:36 < amitk> ln-: If you want JustWorks (TM), you have to either help during beta testing or get a support contract. It is unrealistic to expect that a distribution will hit all your target usecases. | 23:32 |
| Torgoton | I was hoping it would hit this one. I know the wiki is a community project and could be out of date, but it claims a 486 with 32MB RAM will be just enough machine for the job. | 23:34 |
| Kano | haha, you get better pcs for free ;) | 23:35 |
| Torgoton | This machine has 36MB RAM, but I paid a lot for it... when it was new... 15 years go. | 23:35 |
| Kano | now you have to pay when you want to give it back ;) | 23:36 |
| Torgoton | It's a ThinkPad 750P, and I have Woody on it, and the netboot files for Dapper, Edgy, Feisty and Gutsy, and I can load each of them with Lilo. | 23:36 |
| Torgoton | indeed, kano! | 23:36 |
| ln- | insignificantly small number of people run ubuntu on 486, i doubt anyone cares to investigate and fix your problem. | 23:38 |
| Torgoton | In-, do you need a hug? Where's the holiday spirit? | 23:38 |
| Torgoton | If anyone else cares, here's the Gutsy crash output: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49098/ | 23:38 |
| ln- | i'm only telling the facts. | 23:40 |
| Torgoton | Where I'm from, programmers tend to like challenges, especially low-level programmers... like the kind who would know about CPU initialization. | 23:40 |
| johanbr | Torgoton: I think your best best might be to build your own minimalistic kernel and see if the error still occurs. | 23:44 |
| JanC | I remember that mdz (I think it was him?) ran Ubuntu on a soekris in the past | 23:45 |
| JanC | but that might have been dapper or even an older version ;) | 23:45 |
| JanC | Torgoton: is this a real 486 _with_ FPU ? | 23:46 |
| Torgoton | janc, it's a 486SL which is supposed to have the FPU. | 23:46 |
| JanC | hm, SL ? I would have to check what that was again ツ | 23:47 |
| Torgoton | I'm pretty technical (i've written i960 initialization code years ago), and a long-time linux use, but mostly with Fedora. | 23:47 |
| Torgoton | so I am comfortable running suggested commands and capturing logs. | 23:47 |
| JanC | ah, 486SL = low power 486DX, yeah, that should have a FPU I guess | 23:48 |
| Torgoton | and as I wrote, Dapper and Edgy boot fine (except for the keyboard thing) | 23:48 |
| JanC | AFAIK the -386 kernel is compiled with the 486DX as lowest supported CPU in mind | 23:50 |
| Torgoton | (and yet they call it the 386 kernel :) ) | 23:51 |
| JanC | IIRC it's impossible to make a secure i386 kernel | 23:51 |
| JanC | some bug in that CPU ;) | 23:52 |
| Torgoton | What?! a bug? in the CPU?!? | 23:52 |
| JanC | "invalid opcode" → sounds like it tries to do something not supported by your CPU ? | 23:54 |
| JanC | I know nothing more about it ツ | 23:55 |
| Torgoton | well, I'll capture the Feisty output and see what's different. | 23:55 |
| Torgoton | BTW, anyone know the kernel parameter to make it not mess with the keyboard? Is it keyboard=reset or something like that? | 23:56 |
| JanC | how does it mess with the keyboard? ツ | 23:56 |
| Torgoton | I type shift, and it shows "v"... the arrows, tab, space and enter don't work in the installer. | 23:57 |
| JanC | and it doesn't do that with debian? | 23:57 |
| Torgoton | not with Woody. | 23:57 |
| Torgoton | 2.2.20 kernel | 23:58 |
| JanC | I wonder if this is just a weird keyboard and recent kernels just don't include support for it anymore (at least by default) ? | 23:58 |
| Kano | Torgoton: maybe 486SX? | 23:58 |
| Torgoton | Kano, nope. 486SL. | 23:58 |
| JanC | Kano: 486SL has all DX features + some power saving features, according to wikipedia | 23:59 |
