[15:26] <CarlFK> booting 2.6.26-5 hung on an acpi thing, so I tried acpi=off and got ~ "crash - use apic=debug and file a report" - so I booted with debug, what all should I include in the report?  
[15:27] <CarlFK> and is it against the kernel? 
[15:28] <CarlFK> oh yeah - booting w/ debug, it stopped on [    0.556031] ACPI: EC: non-query interrupt received, switching to interrupt mode
[15:29] <CarlFK> hit the power button and it finished booting 
[15:33] <smb_tp> CarlFK, Beside the usual suspects (kernel version, dmesg (since power button helps), it would be helpfull to have the contents of /proc/acpi/dsdt and dmidecode
[15:34] <Kano> CarlFK: is it a system with ati xpress 1200?
[15:37] <CarlFK> Kano: nvidia 
[15:38] <Kano> nvidia chipset?
[15:41] <CarlFK> GeForce 7150M - and a bunch of other stuff - I'll post lspci in my report
[15:45] <CarlFK> smb_tp: what is dsdt?
[15:46] <CarlFK> cat .... doesn't look human readable 
[15:46] <smb_tp> CarlFK, The ACPI description table. It is binary. 
[15:46] <Kano> BenC: could you update to 2.6.26.1?
[15:47] <CarlFK> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/254668  Ill attach it
[15:47] <smb_tp> CarlFK, you have to disassemble with iasl to get ascii (still quite cryptic)
[15:49] <smb_tp> CarlFK, oh, and also put which kernel was the most recent that worked for you
[15:52] <CarlFK> probably 24-12 in March hardy beta
[15:55] <smb_tp> CarlFK, ok also before early enabling the boot ec... but best keep all info together in the report. there have been similar cases (without the power button work-around). but it is better to track this separately.
[15:58] <CarlFK> to figure out what kernel works: i have 5 kernels: .24-12-386, -19-386, -19-generic, 26-4/5-generic - what kernel params should I boot them with?
[15:59] <CarlFK> I don't exactly have time to try too many permutations on all of them
[16:01] <smb_tp> CarlFK, I think -19-generic should show the same probs. If you boot there with the options that did let you see where the hang occured, so you can tell it appears at the same place (or not)
[16:02] <smb_tp> CarlFK, Otherwise it is ok if you just say what you think was the last one that was ok.
[16:10] <CarlFK> 19-generic apic=debug make sense?
[16:12] <smb_tp> CarlFK, oh it was apic debug you referred to above. It should not hurt. Guess the important part is to remove quiet and splash to see what is going on
[16:13] <CarlFK> ok - off we go.
[16:26] <CarlFK> 2.6.24-19-generic apic=debug, no hang.  dmesg attached.  should I attach any other logs?
[16:27] <smb_tp> CarlFK, None I can currently think of
[16:28] <CarlFK> I need to compile madwifi for 2.26 (because ath5k doesn't support mode=ap) - any idea where the headers are?  
[16:29] <CarlFK> im still on hardy, so I don't have intrepid repos enabled 
[16:30] <soren> CarlFK: "2.26"? You mean 2.6.26?
[16:30] <soren> brb
[16:31] <Kano> CarlFK: install module-assistant , then m-a prepare
[16:31] <CarlFK> soren: yes
[16:33] <CarlFK> Kano: k - thanks.  booting back to .26 we go
[16:38] <zul> how do you skip the abi checks when running the fakeroot debian/rules binary-whatever
[16:40] <Kano> time debian/rules binary-debs flavours=generic skipabi=true skipmodule=true
[16:47] <soren> CarlFK: If you have 2.6.26, you must have compiled it yourself, so only you know where the headers might be.
[16:47] <soren> (since you say that you're on hardy)
[16:49] <AlmightyCthulhu> you can use the 2.6.26 packages from Intrepid
[16:49] <AlmightyCthulhu> I would advise against it
[16:50] <smb_tp> CarlFK, ...hm right. in that case after a binary-generic and a binary-headers run, the headers all and headers generic package would have to be installed...
[17:16] <CMDL1N3> hello
[17:16] <CMDL1N3> i keep getting /sbin/modprobe abnormal exit when i boot 8.04 install cd
[17:19] <smb_tp> CarlFK, if you are doing your own kernels you might want to remove the lines introduced by http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=b3b233c7d948a5f55185fb5a1b248157b948a1e5
