| osmosis | from a kernel driver perspective, what is the preferred RAID card vendor? | 06:24 |
| pwnguin | osmosis: ive heard many people suggest software RAID | 06:33 |
| pwnguin | but I also don't use raid (I should change that) | 06:34 |
| amitk | osmosis: 3ware has always had good support for linux | 08:01 |
| amitk | osmosis: http://linas.org/linux/raid.html for other vendors and specific model details | 08:03 |
| alex_joni | osmosis: my personal oppinion is that software RAID is sometimes easier to recover | 08:29 |
| alex_joni | if your card has problems, it's not possible to recover the RAID on another machine, unless it's a compatible one | 08:30 |
| alex_joni | and software RAID doesn't have that much performance loss to be an issue | 08:30 |
| tjaalton | should I blame the kernel for not being able to resume from hibernation? Worked fine before enabling -proposed | 09:18 |
| tjaalton | hangs after the message "Suspending the terminal(s)" | 09:18 |

| newz2000 | when running virtualbox 1.6 my computer freezes up and the caps lock key blinks. Is there a way I can get any diagnostic information so I can file a bug report with the vendor? | 19:38 |
| rtg__ | soren: ^^ | 20:41 |

| soren | newz2000: Do you have vmware installed, too? | 21:06 |
| soren | by any chance? | 21:06 |
| newz2000 | no | 21:06 |
| soren | Hm... Kvm, then? | 21:06 |
| newz2000 | yes | 21:06 |
| soren | Ah. | 21:06 |
| soren | That's likely your problem. | 21:07 |
| newz2000 | :-( I can't use them both? Oh bummer. | 21:07 |
| soren | Not at the same time. | 21:07 |
| soren | Try unloading the kvm modules (sudo /etc/init.d/kvm stop) and try again. | 21:07 |
| newz2000 | ok, I have to wait until I have finished my current work because I can't handle a hard lock at the moment | 21:08 |
| newz2000 | this is a new problem with virtualbox 1.6 (1.5 worked fine) | 21:08 |
| soren | The various modules who use the virtualisation extensions in the CPU's have not agreen on a locking mechanism yet, and things go boom if more than one thing tries to use them at the same time. | 21:08 |
| soren | newz2000: Well, it's a *possible* cause. It might be something completely different. | 21:08 |
| newz2000 | ok, I'll test after a bit | 21:09 |
| dupondje | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/235889 plz check :) | 21:40 |
| ceekay | anyone able to clue me in / point me to docs regarding kernel crash dumps at present and possibly where they were as of 7.04? I see it was accepted for hardy on https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/linux-kernel-crash-dump , but the status does not seem to indicate that it was completed | 21:45 |
| jepler | ceekay: I'd also love to know more about this | 21:52 |
| emgent | heya | 22:10 |
| rtg__ | Ng: saw your comment about e1000 EEPROM. Can you reproduce the problem reliably so that if I apply a patch you can tell that I fixed something? | 22:11 |
| Ng | rtg__: the machine in particular showing the problem is silbs' laptop, so while we do have a reliable testcase, we probably shouldn't interrupt her too much ;) | 22:16 |
| rtg__ | Ng: well, if you'll work with her as she has time, I'll apply the patch in my PPA version. I'll get it done later this evening since she's already left. | 22:17 |
| Ng | rtg__: ok, I can probably get on it during lunch or so | 22:19 |
| rtg__ | Ng: ok, I'll add a comment to the bug report when its ready. I'm out for a bit... | 22:21 |
| ceekay | jepler: from what i've seen BenC 's footprints seem to show up in a few places (that link above as well as the grub changelog mentioning something about "we're no longer using kdump kernels") so i suspect he might have an understanding of what's going on/where things have been | 22:23 |
| BenC | No, we're still using kdump kernels | 22:51 |
| BenC | just that we are using a different method of loading them that the old menu.lst grub thing I had originally | 22:51 |
| ceekay | BenC: any documentation out there that i could use to see where things are/were? | 23:18 |
