bboschmanHi10:44
bboschmanI get the following error while kernelcompile:10:44

bboschmanthe only I changed was debian/changelog (new version) and CONFIG_VERSION_SIGNATURE10:46
alex_jonibboschman: what's the command you used?12:04

sorenI see you moved the virtio drivers into a seperate udeb, and marked it priority: extra.. Is the latter deliberate?14:38
johanbrIs timg around? He's marked bug #183033 as "fix committed" for intrepid, which I don't think it is.14:45
BenCsoren: it is...we don't want all those modules being forced in lowmem netboots15:47
sorenI can think of modules that are much more ripe for a move to extra than virtio. virtio will actually be used. :)15:48
BenCsoren: but if it's forced to be loaded on lowmem systems, it makes the lowmem install useless :)15:49
sorenAFAICS, it's only virtio and crypto that are extra, while *everything* else is there by default.15:49
sorenOr am I reading too much into the priority of the udebs?15:49
BenCI can change the extra setting if you want, I just need it in a separate udeb15:49
BenCI think you are reading too much into it15:50
sorenOk.15:50
sorenWhat I'm seeing is that the virtio_pci and virtio_ring modules were missing in the installer.15:50
sorend-i failed to find my nic.15:50
sorenTruth be told, I didn't spend *that* much time on it, but it just seemed to me that the only difference between now and back when it worked was that virtio_ring and virtio_pci were moved to a udev with priority: extra.15:51
soren...and it just so happens that the only two udebs marked as extra are crypto and virtio.15:52

orangepeelbeefguys how do i build the git linux-modules in hardy it keeps saying it needs the source for 2.6.24-21 but the latest package in the repo is 2.6.24-1918:22

orangepeelbeefhow do i retrieve a specific version from the git kernel repository19:08
baron1984what kernel release is the 2.6.26-4 kernel in Intrepid using?21:17
amitkbaron1984: 2.6.2621:20
baron1984final?21:20
baron1984will the backports for ACPI in the Linus git tree be backported into Intrepid?21:22
amitkbaron1984: 2.6.26 final + cherry picked patches from 2.6.27-rcX is the plan21:22
erle-suspend to ram broken since last kernel update in hardy 64 bit21:22
erle-anybody who can confirm that?21:22
baron1984suspend to RAM just doesn't work in ANY Linux kernel for me21:23
amitkbaron1984: what are the backports for ACPI?21:23
baron1984it does in 2.6.26-4 on Intrepid21:23
baron1984but when I reboot21:23
baron1984it freezes21:23
erle-kernel panic comes up21:23
baron1984just before it restarts21:23
erle-suspend works with kernel 2.6.24-1921:23
baron1984I've filed a bug on it21:23
baron1984[patch] acpi: fix crash in core ACPI code, triggered by CONFIG_ACPI_PCI_SLOT=y21:23
baron1984may fix this?21:24
baron1984bug 25133821:24
baron1984https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/25133821:24
baron1984the initial report was for Hardy21:25
baron1984but I redid the dumps with 2.6.26-4 on Intrepid21:25
amitkbaron1984: I am not sure what your situation is - Is the intrepid kernel a regression from Hardy?21:26
baron1984amitk: No, in fact it's a large improvement, ACPI has gone from hardly working at all to working "more"21:27
baron1984it crashes on reboot after having suspended21:27
baron1984I've asked Foxconn what their problem is21:28
baron1984they told me to go buy Vista21:28
baron1984well, after several layers of "support"21:28
mkrufkysounds like fighting words to me21:29
mkrufkyor like a mystical curse21:29
mkrufkywho "buys vista" ?21:29
baron1984telling me to yank out my RAM modules and see if the problem continues?21:29
mkrufkynever install vista on an old machine!21:29
amitkbaron1984: so what are you looking to be backported? and from where?21:29
baron1984oh, I have Vista, it's an OEM copy21:29
baron1984and this motherboard is a replacement21:29
mkrufkyit makes sense to run vista on a NEW machine that COMES with it installed21:30
mkrufky(if you absolutely must)21:30
baron1984https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/24622221:30
baron1984I think this may fix the problem? 21:30
amitkbaron1984: that bug only enables custom DSDTs. Do you have one for your board?21:33
baron1984I'm sure I could come up with one21:33
baron1984there was a Gentoo guide on how to do it21:33
baron1984http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/acpi/overridingDSDT.php21:35
baron1984that may work21:35
baron1984but only when the patch that allows it lands21:36
baron1984unless I want to futz about with a custom kernel on an Alpha distribution21:36
baron1984(I really don't)21:36
baron1984amitk: If I understand this correctly21:40
baron1984I'd build the DSDT, and just place it into /boot?21:41
amitkbaron1984: you could give it a try when the next kernel is available. The git commits have already landed. I just checked21:42
amitkbaron1984: correct21:43
baron1984amitk: How exactly would I fix the DSDT I have?21:44
baron1984I do not know assembler21:44
amitkbaron1984: there is a lot of documentation around to fix DSDT, but you should start by looking if someone has already posted something for your board at http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/view.php21:46
amitkhttp://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/index.php21:47
baron1984amitk: should I upload my disassembled dsdl in to Launchpad?21:54
baron1984or would this not be kosher?21:54
baron1984amitk21:55
baron1984looks like it probes to find out what Windows it's using21:55
baron1984and if it doesn't find one, it falls back to NT 421:55
amitkbaron1984: that is usually the beginning of DSDT problems - customization of behaviour for differnt windows versions :)21:57
baron1984If (MCTH (_OS, "Linux"))21:57
baron1984  Store (0x03, OSVR)21:57
baron1984peculiar21:57
baron1984it doesn't do that setting for any Windows version21:57
baron1984it gets better21:58
amitkbaron1984: it is unlikely that anybody will be able to help with a particular DSDT. You are on your own there because it is so HW specific. But the acpi list is a good place to ask for help.21:58
baron1984there is no package 0x0321:58
baron1984only 0x0421:58
baron1984you figure recompiling it telling it to detect Linux and use Windows Vista's DSDT package would help?21:59
baron1984B-)21:59
amitkbaron1984: as a rule of thumb, from the ACPI maintainer - they try to be bug-compliant with Windows for the ACPI implementation. And they keep pleading to BIOS vendors not to do different things for different OSes.21:59
baron1984amitk: This is sabotage22:03
baron1984plain and simple22:03
baron1984there's no other explanation for telling Linux to use different DSDL table22:03
baron1984amitk: I recompiled it and got 7 warnings22:05

baron1984Warning  1103 -                                 ^ Possible operator timeout is ignored22:06
baron1984oh hell no22:07
baron1984I know what they did22:07
baron1984they gave a bogus table just for Linix22:07
baron1984*Linux22:07
baron1984that they know will break it22:07

BenCsoren: ping22:33
sorenBenC: Oui?22:44
BenCsoren: in zinc:~bcollins/ is the test virtual package22:45
sorenBenC: i386?22:45
BenCsoren: amd6422:45
sorenWhee!22:45
sorenMy favourite :)22:46
BenCsoren: I can do 32-bit later if needed22:46
BenCsoren: NOTE: it's based on -server build, so uname looks like -server and everything is installed as 2.6.26-4-server, and it conflicts with the -server image22:46
BenCsoren: I don't see that as a problem really, but just so ya know22:46
sorenBenC: I'm curious how you'll pull of building an amd64 kernel for i386, though. You said you'd use the same approach, right?22:47
sorens/of/off/22:48
BenCsoren: I have no intention of doing that22:48
sorenOh, ok.22:48
sorenYou did mention a similar use case for this approach in Boston, didn't you?22:49
BenCPerhaps, but I can't recall what it is22:51
