[01:52] <obra> Are folks around? I posted about 9 hours ago - I'm seeing weird freezes apparently in the SCSI device with ubuntu on qemu-arm. Is this a known obvious idiotic thing I'm doing?
[02:36] <julianoliver> i'm targetting ARM7. does the current version of Ubuntu-ARM support this architecture (even experimentally) or is this slated for an April release?
[02:49] <julianoliver> i refer to http://www.ubuntu.com/news/arm-linux

[11:58] <armin76> julianoliver: ubuntu atm is armv5 afaik, and it does work with armv7
[12:09] <julianoliver> what kind of speed difference would i be look at for raw number crunching?
[12:09] <julianoliver> s/look/looking/
[12:10] <julianoliver> eg comparing Ubuntu optomised for armv5 to Angstrom optomised for armv7
[12:12] <armin76> no clue, i don't have an armv7 :)
[12:13] <armin76> and i'm no ubuntu dev either
[12:18] <julianoliver> right thanks.
[13:22] <lool> obra: No idea about your specific problem, I recall someone mentionning scsi OOPSes in qemu because generic SCSI support was turned on -- IIRC; but I'm surprized you get this with Aurélien's kernel
[13:22] <lool> obra: I'd report to the qemu folks in all cases
[13:23] <lool> julianoliver: It's hard to tell, but there are noticeable differences between ARMv5 and ARMv6 + VFP at least
[13:23] <lool> So I'd expect v7 + VFP to imply an even more noticeable difference
[13:39] <julianoliver> lool: right, thanks.
[13:44] <julianoliver> lool: i'll try to make use of as many armv7 compile-time optomisations for my code and see if that helps.
[14:23] <julianoliver> i'm trying to use the script build-arm-rootfs and after a long process of downloading and building it fails with this output: http://rafb.net/p/tCVnne85.html
[14:23] <julianoliver> hehe ugh.. i see that the typo's mine
[14:23] <julianoliver> nvm.
[23:45] <maxriskfactor> I am trying to make the memory available more than 256MB while making ubuntu arm to run under qemu-system-arm
[23:45] <maxriskfactor> anybody facing the same problem?
[23:46] <maxriskfactor> i get a segfault when giving more than 256MB
