[09:50] I have installed 2.6.28 and 2.6.28-rc8 and somehow 2.6.28 can not find /lib/modules/2.6.28 :( [09:51] Is kinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28 the valid command to create the initrd? [09:51] my /root is encrypted ... === corge is now known as fdd [13:38] why is there no linux-image-debug-2.6.27-9-generic on security.ubuntu.com? `apt-cache madison linux-image-debug-2.6.27-9-generic` claims it to be produced from the source package linux_2.6.27-9.19, but it does not seem to be published at all! === TimStarling is now known as Tim-away [14:34] Hi, I want to know: In the boot process, does BIOS is loaded into the memory (RAM)? [14:35] I mean, does BIOS in loaded from ROM to RAM at the boot time.?? [14:35] I believe that BIOS is executed directly from ROM [14:35] (well, flash ram) [14:39] I am reading about kernel boot process. In one of the document it is given as follows: "Given the different uses of BIOS functions, the BIOS is made up of two parts: the POST code and runtime services. After the POST is complete, it is flushed from memory, but the BIOS runtime services remain and are available to the target operating system." [14:39] what does it means "it is flushed from memory"? [14:58] hi apw , what do you want to do about the backlight problem? [15:12] sconklin: I've sent the Poulsbo update as a patch against hardy-lum; it's pending moderation (it's 60 kB for a limit of 40) [15:13] smb_tp_: ^ and that's post-A3 stuff of course [15:15] lool: hey, I know the moderator. [15:16] me too :) [15:16] rtg: Happy to send it in a different form if 60kB is too big [15:16] lool: I'm feeling quite a bit better today, I'll have a look [15:16] sconklin: Glad about that; FYI I'm feeling awful, I think we swapped [15:16] lool: no problem. its done [15:16] lool, Well for hardy post 8.04.02 [15:16] lool: Mine was viral, nothing to do for it except sleep [15:16] lool, but I will look into it [15:17] smb_tp_: What actual date does that mean? [15:17] lool, The release is scheduled next week. So right after that [15:18] smb_tp_: Ack [15:18] thanks [15:18] rtg: Thanks [15:19] BTW folks, I massaged git-format-patch's output into an email; I'm sorry if the result is incorrect, and am happy to fix it if I messed up things [15:21] what kernel are the jaunty ports builders using? [15:23] tjaalton: Perhaps something to ask infinity or lamont about [15:24] lool: ok, thanks [15:24] tjaalton: they are likely Hardy based. [15:26] rtg: ok.. I think it shouldn't matter either, as long as the current one is available [15:26] lool: an alternative to large patches on the mailing list is to request a pull from a git repo on zinc (or some other publicly accessible location) [15:26] regarding the xorg* ftbfs's [15:28] rtg: Yeah, I don't have zinc access though; I was thinking that perhaps I should contribute some patches and then request access; in the mean time, I guess I can push to people.ubuntu.com or so [15:29] lool: its pretty easy to get an account on zinc. I think you just file an RT. [15:29] "To request an account on this machine for working with Ubuntu's Kernel Team and its git tree, email Ben Collins. " says kernel.ubuntu.com [15:30] lool: who will just file an RT, but start with BenC2 anyway [15:30] Understood === BenC2 is now known as BenC [16:20] dmesg shows: [ 0.000000] Kernel command line: root=UUID=7a52d80c-2091-492f-b21a-f9c3174934c0 ro netconsole=@/,@192.168.1.155/ [16:20] but netconsole didn't get loaded [16:28] "because netconsole isn't included in your kernel" -- duh. [16:30] CarlFK: modprobe it [16:30] Kano: yeah, just trying to automate it. debugging a panic. [16:31] add a initramfs hook [16:31] i don't need it early - it's an app (dvswitch) - so some startup script is fine === asac_ is now known as asac === lamont` is now known as lamont [19:25] apw: pong [19:26] rtg, hi [19:26] you back? [19:26] I've been giving the lpia trees some thought myself [19:27] on the short term front i've just pushed up a version of the ubuntu-jaunty-lpia.git tree which fixes the dependancy problem [19:27] and i've pushed up a new ubuntu-jaunty-lpia-lrm.git tree [19:27] both of which i have compiled together in my PPA [19:28] so i think they are at least in reasonable state [19:28] apw: ok. I'll have a look. I also have some thoughts about development and tree management, but I think I'll propose them on the mailing list [19:29] would be nice to stop these being entirly sepearate if we can cope, as the lrm is actually unmodified, other than the mods to make it build for lpia alone [19:29] it has 0 local modifications right now [19:33] rtg, am going to purchase some food for dinner. will check in with you in about an hour to see if i need to do anything else with those lpia trees or if we can call them good [19:33] apw: don't sweat it 'cause it'll be tomorrow. gotta get CRDA packaged. === mcasadevall is now known as NCommander [20:12] I need this to happen later: cat /etc/modules; netconsole netconsole="@/,@192.168.1.155/" [20:12] cuz that gives me: [ 19.952019] netconsole: no IP address for eth0, aborting [20:13] so where is the right place to put: sudo modprobe netconsole netconsole="@/,@192.168.1.155/" [20:13] well it may even be after you login, so .. [20:13] this is to gether dumps for https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/317227 [20:13] Malone bug 317227 in linux "skb_over_panic skbuff.c:128 invalid opcode: 0000 [1] SMP " [Undecided,New] [20:14] i would imagine netconsole must have some other mechanism to connect early? [20:14] late is fine - i need to run a user space app [20:14] netconsole=[src-port]@[src-ip]/[dev],[tgt-port]@/[tgt-macaddr] [20:14] I just want it setup as part of the boot so I don't have to [20:14]

isn't optional
