[00:00] <rtg> jbarnes: I'll try to catch up to kirkland later today and get him to test with tiling disabled.
[00:00] <jbarnes> cool that would help
[00:01] <jbarnes> afaik the MCHBAR patch by itself shouldn't cause lockups
[00:01] <jbarnes> except indirectly...
[00:01] <rtg> jbarnes: agreed, but it does appear to be causative
[00:01] <jbarnes> yep
[01:11] <Giotrader> help install please I have a RAID 0 and 2 IDE drives, Ubuntu alternate CD only see 1 IDE drives and gives me an error message when trying to partition the RAID 0
[03:36] <alphaaquilae> hello
[03:36] <alphaaquilae> any interresting ubuntu screensaver?
[09:22] <Shock> hello
[09:22] <Shock> i desperately need some help in compiling the kernel with PAE enabled, anyone willing to help?
[09:42] <Shock> wake up!
[09:44] <Nafallo> Shock: as the topic says... "Ubuntu kernel development discussion ONLY"
[09:44] <Nafallo> Shock: you want #ubuntu or another support channel.
[09:45] <Shock> oh, right...
[09:48] <Shock> what would "another support channel" might be since I tried getting help in #ubuntu quite a few times to no avail?
[09:54] <anubhav> Shock: maybe you can  try kernelnewbies on oftc
[09:55] <Shock> oftc?
[09:56] <anubhav> Shock: irc.oftc.net
[09:57] <anubhav> Shock: http://kernelnewbies.org/IRC
[09:57] <Shock> thanks anubhav
[09:58] <Shock> should I still try that if I don't consider myself a newbie? :)
[09:58] <Shock> my errors come from the abi checker, btw
[09:59] <anubhav> Shock: try it out ..most probably  some one will know
[10:10] <anubhav> Shock: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[10:12] <Shock> anubhav: thanks, i've used that document in my research
[10:13] <Shock> also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelMaintenance
[10:13] <Shock> the info I'm looking for doesn't seem to be on the wikis/forums
[10:14] <IntuitiveNipple> Shock: what info?
[10:14] <anubhav> Shock: You question is not pointed enough as it is
[10:16] <Shock> ok, I'm getting this error "EE: Missing modules (start begging for mercy)"
[10:18] <Shock> I've done debian/scripts/misc/getabis
[10:18] <Shock> I've bumped the ABI
[10:18] <Shock> I don't know what else to try
[10:18] <Shock> this is the buildlog: https://launchpad.net/~mmiron/+archive/ppa/+build/941290/+files/buildlog_ubuntu-intrepid-i386.linux_2.6.27-12.32ubuntu1~ppa1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz
[10:21] <Shock> IntuitiveNipple: I don't know how to fix this error: "EE: Missing modules (start begging for mercy)"
[10:22] <IntuitiveNipple> Shock: What changes have you made?
[10:23] <Shock> I've enabled CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G and disabled CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G
[10:24] <Shock> I've run debian/rules updateconfigs which asked me about another option (about adaptec 64bit DMA) for which I've answered no
[10:24] <anubhav> I the dump is see MISS: dca
[10:24] <anubhav>       MISS: ioatdma
[10:24] <Shock> I don't think it should have asked me about a new kernel option, though
[10:24] <Shock> it should have already been set
[10:25] <Shock> I've run dch -i and bumped the ABI version
[10:26] <Shock> after that I ran debian/rules debian/control.stub
[10:26] <Shock> and then debuild -S -j 3 (not that it matters much)
[10:27] <Shock> anubhav: yes, I don't know why those are missing
[10:27] <anubhav> Maybe because of that module-check-generic script is unhappy
[10:28] <Shock> prolly :) but I still can't figure out how to fix it :(
[10:28] <anubhav> or whatever script checks for missing modules
[10:29] <Shock> I don't know what kernel option controls the build of those modules, I've searched google but wasn't able to find it
[10:29] <anubhav> IntuitiveNipple: do know what can be done in that case?
[10:31] <Shock> as a side note, why would updateconfigs ask me about that adaptec 64bit DMA option?
[10:31] <Shock> shouldn't it have already been answered?
[10:32] <Shock> presumably by the Kernel Team
[10:35] <IntuitiveNipple> ioatdms is missing since it selects DMA_ENGINE which has the depends !HIGHMEM64G && HAS_DMA
[10:35] <IntuitiveNipple> s/ioatdms/ioatdma/
[10:38] <Shock> ok, so it will never get built if HIGHMEM64G is set
[10:39] <Shock> how can I fix it?
[10:39] <Shock> meaning get the packages to build
[10:39] <Shock> they need the previous kernel version ABI files and fail otherwise
[10:40] <Shock> if I give it the ABI files, it also fails because some modules are missing
[10:40] <Shock> I'm unsure what my options are
[11:14] <Shock> anyone?
[14:24] <lool> Hi folks, we need quick advice on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/357700
[14:24] <ubot3> Malone bug 357700 in linux "mmcblk0p* don't appear in /sys/block" [Undecided,New] 
[14:24] <lool> amitk, cooloney: ^
[14:26] <lool> It's the same behavior on my SD card reader on my desktop
[14:26] <lool> fdisk -l /dev/sdd => I see the parts, /dev/sdd* exists, but they don't show up in /sys/block
[14:26] <lool> Perhaps it's bug that they don't appear in /sys/block or perhaps casper assumes too much and shouldn't use /sys/block?
[14:27] <cooloney> lool, ok, i will take a look right now
[14:27] <Kano> hi rtg ,did you see .30-rc1
[14:27] <lool> cooloney: We're also discussing it in #ubuntu-installer
[14:27] <lool> I think it's because it's /sys/block/mmcblk0/mmcblk0p1
[14:29] <rtg> Kano: yes, but I'm unlikely to do anything with it until next week since I'm traveling right now.
[14:29] <Kano> then there will be rc2 ;)
[14:30] <lool> cooloney: Ok, it turns out it's a casper bug for sure: it's only looking at usb|pci-[^-]*-(ide|scsi|usb) devices
[14:30] <lool> cooloney: And ours is a platform-mmc device
[14:30] <cooloney> ok, no problem
[14:30] <cooloney> lool, i am not familiar with casper
[14:30] <lool> cooloney: Thanks for being around; it's kernel freeze tomorrow so I'm really worried we miss something!
[14:31] <cooloney> what is casper
[14:31] <lool> cooloney: casper is an initramfs script which we use in live CDs etc. and which will setup an unionfs and do various stuff to setup the live CD
[14:31] <cooloney> and LIVEMEDIA is a kernel command line parameter
[14:32] <Kano> usually live-initramfs has a live-media-path option
[14:32] <Kano> did casper adopt it
[14:32] <cooloney> ok 
[14:35] <Kano> live-media=*|bootfrom=*) ok, both are there...
[14:35] <Kano> live-media is the device
[14:35] <Kano> same as bootfrom
[14:35] <Kano> live-initramfs has a few more...
[14:36] <lool> cooloney: Fix pushed
[14:37] <lool> cooloney: LIVEMEDIA is what we use when we want to skip autodetection and force the device to use
[14:38] <cooloney> lool, fix pushed? it was fixed?
[14:41] <lool> cooloney: I uploaded casper
[15:32] <amitk> lool: casper needs to know about mmcblk*, that's what all mmc devices on arm are
[15:33] <lool> amitk: Actually it's because of the ID_PATH

[17:38] <manjo> smb_tp, around ? 
[17:38] <smb_tp> manjo, no 
[17:39] <smb_tp> it just looks like I am
[17:39] <manjo> heh .. one eye open ? 
[17:39] <manjo> I debugged the damn ata stuff all day yesterday... and I am so confused
[17:39] <smb_tp> might even be two. whats up ?
[17:40] <smb_tp> anything specific?
[17:40] <manjo> can i skype you ? 
[17:41] <smb_tp> give me a sec
[17:42] <smb_tp> *sigh* all at the same time
[17:42] <smb_tp> manjo, seems I should first join somewhere else
[17:43] <philn> hi
[17:44] <philn> where can i find support for kernel if this channel is for devs only?
[17:45] <manjo> philn what support are you looking for ? 
[17:46] <philn> well i recently moved my hard drive to another computer and since then i can't boot any kernel installed after that date
[17:46] <manjo> what happens on boot ? 
[17:46] <philn> i see ATA errors
[17:48] <philn> don't remember exactly the messages but makes me think the kernel is trying to access an invalid hard-drive or something like that
[17:48] <manjo> philn, you should ask #ubuntu... but just curious .. did u reinstall the hdd in the new computer ? 
[17:49] <philn> i asked, none replied
[17:49] <philn> well the hdd is hosting my /
[17:52] <manjo> philn, are you able to boot the hdd by 1st booting from a USB key ? 
[17:52] <manjo> or CD ?
[17:52] <philn> could that be related to initramfs-tools ?
[17:53] <philn> manjo: well i'm using an old 2.6.27 kernel right now
[17:53] <philn> haven't tried boot from a USB key or CD
[17:56] <manjo> philn, I think you have the hdd hooked up in some wrong order 
[17:57] <philn> hmm /dev/sda2 is my / 
[17:57] <philn> ha you mean i inverted the 2 cables on the mother board?
[17:59] <manjo> philn, iirc you should not have issues with moving hdds ... unless you moved from ide to sata etc... but the kernel drivers should take care of it ... try to boot hdd from a live cd or usb to be sure your disk is not bad
[18:01] <philn> the hdd is fine, i'm booting from it but... with an old kernel 
[18:01] <manjo> also you could remove "quiet splash" from the kernel commadn line and see what exactly is gonin on
[18:02] <philn> hey Tony
[18:02] <smb_tp> One thing might be to look what and how the grub root device is defined
[18:02] <philn> smb_tp: how can i do that?
[18:02] <manjo> right that is why I suggested boot from livecd and then boot hdd
[18:02] <smb_tp> it is define in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[18:03] <smb_tp> groot=<something>
[18:03] <philn> root            (hd0,1)
[18:03] <manjo> hey smb_tp you have few mts ? or still busy ? 
[18:03] <philn> groot is commented out
[18:04] <smb_tp> So that would be the second partition of the first hdd
[18:04] <philn> yep, /dev/sda2 is my /
[18:04] <smb_tp> It is used by update-grub to create the root entries for the kernels below
[18:06] <smb_tp> philn, can you paste the sections for one of the non-booting kernels (root, kernel, initrd)
[18:06] <smb_tp> manjo, I try to spare you a slice from my multitasking
[18:07] <philn> http://pastebin.com/mc292300
[18:09] <manjo> smb_tp, awesome will take only 5mts
[18:09] <smb_tp> manjo, thats waht they all say
[18:09] <philn> ;)
[18:09] <manjo> smb_tp, going to get some coffee while I wait
[18:10] <smb_tp> philn, For the booting kernels, is there all the same. Especially the /boot/... 
[18:10] <smb_tp> manjo, I was about to call...
[18:10] <philn> smb_tp: yes, that's what make me think it might be an issue with initrd file generation
[18:11] <manjo> smb_tp, oops missed it 
[18:11] <smb_tp> philn, I think I saw something like that before
[18:12] <smb_tp> philn, you could try to remove the prefixing /boot just to test
[18:12] <philn> ok i'll try that, i'll BE BACK! ;)
[18:15] <manjo> ata_sff_check_status
[18:16] <philn> re
[18:17] <philn> smb_tp: you meant, commenting out the initrd line? i guess i misunderstood because then i get a kernel panic
[18:18] <smb_tp> philn, yeah, I meant: eg replace "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic" by "vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic"
[18:18] <philn> ah
[18:18] <smb_tp> for initrd and the kernel line
[18:19] <philn> ok, so remove /boot/
[18:19] <smb_tp> yep
[18:19] <philn> .. ok
[18:19]  * philn crosses fingers and reboot
[18:22] <philn> re
[18:22] <philn> well i get "Error 1" from Grub
[18:23] <philn> pathname must be absolute or block (something like that)
[18:23] <smb_tp> philn, Ok, so that was not the problem
[18:23] <philn> :(
[18:24] <smb_tp> grub reads directly so it needs the complete path
[18:24] <smb_tp> hm, could you probably give the error messages that happen?
[18:24] <philn> when i normally boot?
[18:25] <philn> hm i need to go home now, but tomorrow i'll take some photos of my screen and put them online
[18:25] <smb_tp> restore the /boot things before and then boot into the non-working kernel. probably remove quiet and splash on the grub prompt
[18:26] <philn> ok i'll do that, thx for the help, seeya tomorrow
