[12:17] sata controller bios has no options [12:17] cking: I could at least try the options from the busybox shell [12:18] Ng: Give me a little while and I will find some appropriate runes. [12:19] sure [12:19] I'm just going to have a quick check to see if there's an updated bios or something === Whoopie_ is now known as Whoopie [12:26] Ng: I suggest trying: options libata noacpi=1 [12:27] cking: I'm going to try booting a gutsy alternate installer to check this definitely isn't a regression. beyond that I should hand this off to the server team - they can netboot it and yous can all get it seeing the CD drive. I don't think physical presence or actual CDs are necessary here since the issue is the thing not even being detected [12:28] (I will check that it netboots correctly though ;) [12:28] Ng: OK makes sense. [12:30] hi cking [12:31] xivulon: hi there. How can I help? [12:31] I believe that evand mentioned some issues with wubi and buffer i/o error [12:31] I did some testing yesterday and found out the issue, but would appreciate some further help [12:32] xivulon: good - I've been stuck trying to obtain a working XP system to experiment further. [12:32] no need anymore :) [12:32] this is the new problem [12:32] basically wubi uses a nested filesystem, one problem is that data loss in the host filesystem (generally ntfs) may result in journal disruption in the hosted filesystem [12:33] to minimize the problems, Szaka suggest to use sysctl settings that would minimize the use of cached disk data [12:33] That makes sense [12:33] what happened is that new version of the kernel (12) does not like the settings we always had [12:34] and that resulted in the buffer I/O errors [12:34] OK - any details on the settings being used? [12:34] sure one sec [12:35] https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/204133/comments/12 [12:35] Launchpad bug 204133 in wubi "wubi install unusable - Buffer I/O error on device loop0" [High,In progress] [12:36] so first point is: I am quite sure those settings used to work in the past, and I do not know if that is any reason of concern kernel-wise [12:37] second point is: what would be a reasonable/safe set of settings to use in order to minimize hardreboot problems? [12:37] xivulon: OK I will put some effort in this afternoon to see if they work. [12:38] cking thanks, please post anything you find in the bug [12:38] xivulon: 2nd point: good question. This needs some figuring out :-) [12:38] great, looking forward to that! [12:38] xivulon: Thanks for getting it so far. I got stuck on the XP enviroment to test this out, so you've helped me a huge amount. [12:39] ..I also got side tracked on other stuff too :-( [12:39] ah that wasn't strictly necessary, provided you have an ntfs partition (virtual or not) you can test on that... [12:39] I could have provided a skeleton for the rest [12:40] xivulon: I'll keep you posted... your help has been invaluable - collect 1 free virtual beer :-) [12:40] ah thank you for looking into this!

[15:44] zul: I was about to ask whether I should do something or what. :) [15:45] smb: I was going to send a patch today once I fix this ebox problem :) [15:45] zul: I guess soon enough. So I rather take care of your xen updates. [15:46] smb: ok [15:46] xen updates builds fine and boots fine here [15:47] zul: Ok, thanks [16:30] smb: got an update but just have to see if it builds [16:31] zul: ok === ogasawara_ is now known as ogasawara [17:19] Hi, re ps3-kboot update. Good new is I can now get the hardy daily live to boot on PS3, however, although the install kernel boots, the graphics are all messed up. [17:19] and when it reaches X it's going to a sort of messed up failsafe [17:19] pseudo terms are also messed up [17:20] I need to quickly work out if this is something left wrong from kboot or whether it's a new issue [17:21] does anyone have any tips or links on how to debug the framebuffer graphics we use while booting up? [17:21] I'm completely green to this whole part of Linux at the moment [19:02] Hrm, is anyone doing anything about the FTBFS of linux on all x86 arches (broken virtio configs)? [19:03] soren: I suppose the changelog might have you to blame... [19:08] infinity: it'll happen later today [19:10] amitk: Kay. I was just about to kick off a rebuild test, and having the kernel FTBFS annoys me. :) [19:10] heh === thegodfather is now known as fabbione [21:02] Building the hardy git 'generic' flavour tonight I'm getting "previous or current ABI file missing" - it's building 2.6.24-16.29, is that correct (CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=4; fakeroot debian/rules binary-generic binary-header) ? [21:19] IntuitiveNipple: it needs an ABI bump, will happen later today [21:20] Thanks Amit - I thought that was the case haivng looked at debian/abi/* but wanted to be sure [21:21] Didn't realise until the end of a long build... was trying to avoid starting from scratch with AUTOBUILD :) [21:22] IntuitiveNipple: you can add a skipabi=1 to the end to force a .deb if you want [21:24] Hmmm, I did try that but got ignored... thanks for that, I'll try it again later to see if I got it wrong somehow [21:25] ahh! I only put "skipabi", forgot the "=1" bit :p [21:31] when I use vpn on linux... I receive the following message: martian source, ll.. what's wrong? [21:31] and my application does not work then [21:39] sourcemaker: A martian source is an invalid, non-routeable address... You'd be better off asking in ##linux or #ubuntu [21:40] IntuitiveNipple: ok... thanks [21:45] IntuitiveNipple: thanks for the wiki update [21:49] you're welcome - I've lived on that page before so every little helps :) [21:50] The only thing I've left to work out is how to do a make-kpkg out-of-tree build [21:52] Hopefully this build will give me a pure Ubuntu kernel with the i450NX patch in so I can sign off the failed PowerEdge server [21:55] IntuitiveNipple: the patch in that b ug report won't work on the server I originally reported it against, though, will it? [21:57] elmo: No, but if you want to provide the dmidecode output of the server, it can be added. I didn't want to add anything I'm not 100% sure about [21:58] It'd be best to test each one - unfortunately there's not an easy way aside from building a kernel that ignore the i450nx fix entirely. [21:58] IntuitiveNipple: I don't have an i450 in the machine though? [21:58] is what I meant [21:59] Did you manage to capture a boot log ? [22:00] I think there's a screenshot in the bug [22:00] oh, yes [22:00] because, haha!, if you wait 30+ minutes, it eventually finds the drives [22:00] and you can continue the boot [22:03] I was wondering more about a full serial console log, but, looking at your screenshots the aacraid module is loading so it's possible the causes of the "Disk offlined" messages are different. I switched to bugzilla in solving the bus issue - I maybe should create another Ubuntu bug report especially for this [22:04] yeah, we haven't upgraded firmware yet either, to rule that out [22:04] IntuitiveNipple: how did you update the firmware btw? [22:05] I had some fun today - discovered the PERC2 is also a HP NetRAID 4M (Adaptec AAC364) and got one from ebay for £18! [22:06] Downloaded the Dell firmware DOS-floppy installer .exe, ran it from wine and wrote the files to the two floppies, then used them to update it [22:06] there's "afu.exe" (adaptec firmware updater) on the boot floppy [22:07] The battery on the PERC2 cache was failing and Dell don't do a replacement - got the NetRAID 4M, found a HP replacement part # on the battery, they cost US$128 minimum, so done well on that server today!

For a second I thought I was missing a patch, but looking at the changelog, it must be there already, so I'm slightly more calm now.

I've got a report that installing from the .run file fixes the yellow/pink/etc shadows in compiz so it seems stripping the files is causing this problem [22:49] oh, you probably aren't here :P [22:52] IntuitiveNipple: ah, ok, thanks. shame. I don't suppose you want to debug by PE for me? ;-) [22:55] Well whilst I'm on a roll... want to PM me about it?
