Kanohi, did you notice the nv 71.86.04 and 96.43.05 drivers?00:30
Kanoalso i man not sure if completely disabling alsa in the kernel is a good a idea00:31
Kanothere are several modules which have alsa build-deps00:31
KanoCONFIG_VIDEO_SAA7134_ALSA=m00:32
KanoCONFIG_VIDEO_CX88_ALSA=m00:32
Kanoi dont think you get those externally00:33
Kanoalso how about adding em8300 cvs to lum...00:51
Kanohda-intel is really better in new alsa but you miss modules01:00
Kanobtw. compiled 386 kernel,as this does not use smp you can use hostap_pci, that module is not smp save01:09
crimsunKano: lum already has newer alsa.01:35
Kanoi know, i compiled it01:36
Kanobut you miss modules!01:36
Kanothese have depends on alsa in the kernel01:36
Kanowhich are not in external alsa01:36

Kanortg: why do you completely disable alsa? then modules with alsa depend does not build!09:39
mvohow should we handle dapper->hardy upgrades? I assume -686 should transitioned to -generic. what would be people with -386? should we move them to -generic, leave them with -386? there is some code in the release-ugrader already that will move multi-core people from 386 to generic. 10:45
stgraberAs there are some cases where -386 is needed (very old computers), I don't think moving everyone to -generic is a good idea as it may break some system.11:38
stgraberYou could also detect the CPU (as you probably do for multi-core CPU) and based on that move them to -generic or keep them on -i38611:38
Kanojust uname -m11:39
Kanoif itis not i586 or i686 then keep it11:40
Kanoi guess it is very rarely needed. i just tested the kernel, and did not really like it, had shutdown problems. ok the system was a e6600 ;)11:41
mvostgraber: thanks, the current strategy is to not change it unless its a multicore cpu, but I was wondering if that is wise given that a lot of people will have -386 on their dapper install. but if the only disadvantage is that they won't have multicore, then that sounds not too bad13:12
mvoI like the idea of kano13:39

mvo_with the US awake now, maybe I can ask my earlier question again: how should we handle dapper->hardy upgrades? I assume -686 should transitioned to -generic. what would be people with -386? should we move them to -generic, leave them with -386? there is some code in the release-ugrader already that will move multi-core people from 386 to generic. I like the suggestion of simply checking uname -m 16:59
mvo_but I wonder what machine will not work with -generic and what the installer does in this case16:59
mvo_(or how it detect which ones need -386)16:59
=== reynaldo_ is now known as reynaldo
rtgmvo_: -generic requires at least a 586 class CPU. 17:19
mvo_rtg: so uname -m and checking for i586 is safe? everything iwth i586 or i686 can get -generic then and the rest remains untouched17:41
rtgmvo_: that is my belief.17:42
mvo_rtg: great, thanks17:42

bdmurrayBenC: still around?23:44
BenCbdmurray: in some vague way, yeah :)23:46
bdmurrayI've suspended and resumed using the Live CD and discovered some SQUASHFS errors in dmesg right after some "Buffer I/O error on device sr0".  Is that worth reporting?23:48
Mithrandirthe live CD shouldn't allow suspend.23:48
bdmurrayI thought it should allow suspend and not hibernate.23:49
Mithrandiryour CD reader might well be connected over USB, in which case you'll go boom23:51
bdmurrayhmm, that's true.  having it seems like a good way to get people to test suspend w/o having to install the development release though23:53
