[09:50] <elmargol> 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] <elmargol> Is kinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28 the valid command to create the initrd?
[09:51] <elmargol> my /root is encrypted ...
[13:38] <siretart> 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!
[14:34] <DeSony> Hi, I want to know: In the boot process, does BIOS is loaded into the memory (RAM)?
[14:35] <DeSony> I mean, does BIOS in loaded from ROM to RAM at the boot time.??
[14:35] <Keybuk> I believe that BIOS is executed directly from ROM
[14:35] <Keybuk> (well, flash ram)
[14:39] <DeSony> 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] <DeSony> what does it means "it is flushed from memory"?
[14:58] <Kano> hi apw , what do you want to do about the backlight problem?
[15:12] <lool> 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] <lool> smb_tp_: ^ and that's post-A3 stuff of course
[15:15] <rtg> lool: hey, I know the moderator. 
[15:16] <smb_tp_> me too :)
[15:16] <lool> rtg: Happy to send it in a different form if 60kB is too big
[15:16] <sconklin> lool: I'm feeling quite a bit better today, I'll have a look
[15:16] <lool> sconklin: Glad about that; FYI I'm feeling awful, I think we swapped
[15:16] <rtg> lool: no problem. its done
[15:16] <smb_tp_> lool, Well for hardy post 8.04.02
[15:16] <sconklin> lool: Mine was viral, nothing to do for it except sleep
[15:16] <smb_tp_> lool, but I will look into it
[15:17] <lool> smb_tp_: What actual date does that mean?
[15:17] <smb_tp_> lool, The release is scheduled next week. So right after that
[15:18] <lool> smb_tp_: Ack
[15:18] <lool> thanks
[15:18] <lool> rtg: Thanks
[15:19] <lool> 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] <tjaalton> what kernel are the jaunty ports builders using?
[15:23] <lool> tjaalton: Perhaps something to ask infinity or lamont about
[15:24] <tjaalton> lool: ok, thanks
[15:24] <rtg> tjaalton: they are likely Hardy based.
[15:26] <tjaalton> rtg: ok.. I think it shouldn't matter either, as long as the current one is available
[15:26] <rtg> 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] <tjaalton> regarding the xorg* ftbfs's
[15:28] <lool> 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] <rtg> lool: its pretty easy to get an account on zinc. I think you just file an RT.
[15:29] <lool> "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] <rtg> lool: who will just file an RT, but start with BenC2 anyway
[15:30] <lool> Understood
[16:20] <CarlFK> dmesg shows: [    0.000000] Kernel command line: root=UUID=7a52d80c-2091-492f-b21a-f9c3174934c0 ro netconsole=@/,@192.168.1.155/
[16:20] <CarlFK> but netconsole didn't get loaded
[16:28] <CarlFK> "because netconsole isn't included in your kernel" -- duh.
[16:30] <Kano> CarlFK: modprobe it
[16:30] <CarlFK> Kano: yeah, just trying to automate it.  debugging a panic.
[16:31] <Kano> add a initramfs hook
[16:31] <CarlFK> i don't need it early - it's an app (dvswitch) - so some startup script is fine 
[19:25] <rtg> apw: pong
[19:26] <apw> rtg, hi
[19:26] <apw> you back?
[19:26] <rtg> I've been giving the lpia trees some thought myself
[19:27] <apw> 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] <apw> and i've pushed up a new ubuntu-jaunty-lpia-lrm.git tree
[19:27] <apw> both of which i have compiled together in my PPA
[19:28] <apw> so i think they are at least in reasonable state
[19:28] <rtg> 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] <apw> 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] <apw> it has 0 local modifications right now
[19:33] <apw> 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] <rtg> apw: don't sweat it 'cause it'll be tomorrow. gotta get CRDA packaged.
[20:12] <CarlFK1> I need this to happen later: cat /etc/modules; netconsole netconsole="@/,@192.168.1.155/"
[20:12] <CarlFK1> cuz that gives me:  [   19.952019] netconsole: no IP address for eth0, aborting
[20:13] <CarlFK1> so where is the right place to put: sudo modprobe netconsole netconsole="@/,@192.168.1.155/"
[20:13] <apw> well it may even be after you login, so ..
[20:13] <CarlFK1> this is to gether dumps for https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/317227
[20:13] <ubot3> Malone bug 317227 in linux "skb_over_panic skbuff.c:128 invalid opcode: 0000 [1] SMP " [Undecided,New] 
[20:14] <apw> i would imagine netconsole must have some other mechanism to connect early?
[20:14] <CarlFK1> late is fine - i need to run a user space app
[20:14] <apw> netconsole=[src-port]@[src-ip]/[dev],[tgt-port]@<tgt-ip>/[tgt-macaddr]
[20:14] <CarlFK1> I just want it setup as part of the boot so I don't have to
