[00:26] <dandel> rtg, i see that they are ready, i'll boot those 2 kernels up asap.
[02:18] <dandel> rtg, it seems that the mainline 2.6.25 kernel is unbootable for me.
[02:21] <dandel> it gets stuck at boot, but is not a kernel panic ( flashing capslock key )
[02:24] <JanC> they key flashes?   :P
[02:37] <dandel> hmm... might be wrong on that one... either way, waited until just now to reboot after trying 2.6.25 again.

[02:39] <dandel> either way, i've limited the bug down to an acpi patch in 2.6.26.
[03:01] <dandel> Ncommander, can you look over bug #338701 and tell me what else i should probably submit to that?

[10:31] <Mez> Hey. my kernel seems to be crashing aon a t1500 celeron dual core, last message is marking tsc unstable due to tsc halts in idle
[10:31] <Mez> I can get it working with "apci=ht noapic" 
[10:31] <Mez> but that's exactly the best solution, seeing as it's a laptop
[10:31] <Mez> any suggestions?
[10:31] <aboSamoor> I filed this bug 341625 , what is the info needed ?

[10:53] <ia> hello. I have a kernel config, which i use for compilation each new jaunty linux kernel. On previous versions (before 8.27) cpu freqency scaling works fine, but at later kernels this feature unavailable (i use asus eeepc 901). But at generic kernel scaling still works fine; so, looks like that for enabling this feature in my custom kernel i should enable some other (new?) option in config, but what exactly option? I will be very appreciate for any clues.
[11:00] <ia> or, in any words, i would like to know, which exactly config option/module enables in latest kernels cpu frequency scaling feature for eee pc 901 hardware?
[11:06] <amitk> ia: What processor does the eeepc have?
[11:06] <ia> amitk: intel atom n270
[11:07] <amitk> ia: do you need the custom config for other reasons or only for cpufreq?
[11:08] <ia> amitk: for other also :-)
[11:08] <amitk> ia: there were some changes made in cpufreq configs between -8.27 and the current -9. We are reviewing those changes now
[11:13] <amitk> ia: what is the current governor set to?
[11:14] <amitk> and the current driver to?
[11:14] <amitk> /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver
[11:27] <ia> amitk: >what is the current governor set to? // "performance" ; >scaling_driver // "acpi-cpufreq" ; and here section from my config with cpufreq related info - http://paste.ubuntu.com/130113 ; i've looked into generic config - there CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ have set as "Y"; so, maybe in this problem - i should try to change m to y in my config, but in my "make gconfig" configuration ACPI_CPUFREQ available only as module - y unavailable (maybe because some r
[11:27] <ia> elated for y-option modules disabled)
[11:30] <Mez> Question: if I put in nolapic, my system only shows 1 cpu, but i have dual core. Does this mean I'm only using one core??
[11:38] <amitk> ia: could you boot with -8.27 and check the values of scaling driver and scaling governor?
[11:52] <ia> amitk: well, i've just run sudo modprobe acpi-cpufreq, and scaling started working. I've added acpi-cpufreq in /etc/modules, reboot system, and frequency just works now. It's strange, that at previous versions scaling works without adding module in /etc/modules. However, sorry for worrying and thanks you very much for help :-)
[12:02] <ia> amitk: and another small question about this topic - so, if system uses acpi-cpufreq module, so can i safely remove from config X86_SPEEDSTEP_* modules?
[12:04] <amitk> ia: that is what is done in the -9 kernels. acpi-cpufreq is built-in (not a module) and given more precedence over SPEEDSTEP

[12:10] <lod_> hi, i've just noticed that there's no more /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
[12:11] <lod_> in jaunty devel
[12:11] <lod_> is there any replacement?
[12:12] <lod_> is it safe to rename aliases.dpkg-bak to aliases.conf ?
[12:12] <IntuitiveNipple> /etc/modprobe.d/arch/ ?
[12:12] <lod_> no arch
[12:12] <lod_> only .conf 's
[12:12] <IntuitiveNipple> oh yeah - that's in the initrd :)
[12:13] <lod_> i've got basic info on initrd
[12:14] <lod_> no knolege to mess with it
[12:16] <lod_> also another Q.
[12:16] <lod_> i've noticed that upon reboot, the system only reload fresh kernel
[12:16] <lod_> no BIOS or hardware reboot
[12:43] <lod_> please, how to use full reboot, not only kernel reloading

[19:19] <sashimi> Hello guys. I hope my question is not to much out of scope of the topic : does the ubuntu kernel (does the vanilla kernel) have eSata hot plug capability ?

[23:21] <Kano> hi, i have got a major issue with that ignore-hpa preset in -9 kernel
[23:22] <Kano> my raid does not work when this is default
[23:22] <Kano> on reboot without poweroff it even shows offline members
[23:23] <Kano> and what is also critical: ignore_hpa=0 does not work to set the default behaviour, at least it did not for me, maybe i missed some prefix.
[23:24] <Kano> please tell the users who currently need that hack to set the jumpers correctly - in many cases they are just set wrong
[23:24] <Kano> with 32 gbyte limit
[23:24] <Kano> and revert the change
