[03:25] <twb> What is this "volatile" ramdisk and why do they keep stacking up every time the kernel is upgraded?
[06:13] <crimsun> twb: l-r-m installed for the different kernel versions?
[06:14] <twb> What is an l-r-m?
[06:14] <crimsun> linux-restricted-modules
[06:14] <twb> Oh ow.  That's just bloody typical.
[06:15] <twb> nvidia and friends are causing problems for me even though I don't buy their hardware

[17:31]  * lamont grumbles about the latest kernel update making it so that hardy installs fail
[17:31] <lamont> since the kernel IS UNINSTALLABLE
[17:37] <infinity> lamont: Hrm?
[17:47] <lamont> infinity: the installer drops hardy+updates+(ahem, ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security - oops) into sources.list, and then attempts to install linux-hppa32, which fails because linux-image-hppa32 ($version) is uninstallable)
[17:54] <lamont> of course, palo-installer also face-plants when root is on RAID.  but that's hppa-team's issue to solve
[17:55] <Nafallo> i.e. lamonts ;-)
[18:23] <mathiaz> smb_tp: hi - yesterday we talked about openvz kernels. Is there a wiki page that explains how to do that?
[18:26] <smb_tp> mathiaz, Not specifically for openvz kernels, but in the end this comes down to have a own kernel tree and build that. This is described on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild and the page linked from there.
[18:32] <mathiaz> smb_tp: great - thanks.
[18:33] <mathiaz> smb_tp: is there a wiki page that explains how to use a PPA to publish custom kernels?
[18:40] <smb_tp> mathiaz, I don't think there is specifically. It works just like normal package. Or do you see a specific problem?
[18:51] <mathiaz> smb_tp: oh no. Just having a document to outline how to do this may help.
[18:53] <smb_tp> mathiaz, Possibly this helps: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA?action=show&redirect=PPAQuickStart. What do you think? That was my start for it
[20:01] <tjaalton> the hardy server kernel seems to stop old processes once it gets up to a 1000. is there a configuration option to change that or does it not scale beyond 1000 processes?+
[20:06] <tjaalton> I'm testing a server to replace a tru64 box which currently has ~7000 user processes, and it seems that OOTB the hardy kernel doesn't scale too well
[20:07] <tjaalton> hmm, actually I think the problem here is that the user process limit is hit :)
