Kanohi rtg , there are several issues with your 2.6.30 kernel13:10
Kanofirst13:11
Kanodrivers/staging/Kconfig b/drivers/staging/Kconfig13:12
Kanowhy on earth did you disable 3 drivers?13:12
Kanofunnyly you even patched one of those disabled drivers13:12
Kanort2870 got an added id13:13
Kanobut it never was compiled13:13
Kanothat added id conflicts merging with 13:13

Kanothats after rc5,but add it, then you could add the added it you have in your tree13:14
Kanoi hate to resolve it everytime13:15
Kanonext13:15
Kanoi found the issue why the kernel did not boot on my systems with saa7136 tv card13:15
Kanothe error was s626 module13:16
Kanocan be solved when you do disable CONFIG_COMEDI, which is useless for me anyway13:17
Kanolast thing is13:18

sorenKano: Why exactly is it that you don't report this on Launchpad? IRC is a horrible, horrible bug tracker.13:20
sorenHorrible.13:21
Kanosoren: there is no 2.6.30 in launchpad13:21
Kanoas it is only git13:21
Kanoor where are the packages13:21
sorena) yes, there is.13:21
sorenb) that does not make IRC a better bug tracker.13:21
apwKano, you are reporting issues with karmics kernel... as you say 'your 2.6.30'13:21
Kanosoren: not my problem, i fixed the issues, fix em or leave it13:22
apwtherefore there is a package to report it against13:22
Kanoapw: i use git13:22
Kanoas i require changes13:22
Kanowhich are not that important for u13:22
apwi use keyboards that doesn't mean that there isn't a bug tracker13:22
Kanofix it or not13:22
ografun13:23
sorenAw.13:23
apwthere really are packages of the karmic kernel in the karmic release pocket13:25
* TheMuso reads the above exchange, and finds himself thinking that if were on the kernel team, he'd ignore kano's "bug reports" out of spite. :)(13:27
apwheh, no we just tend to lose things that are only in irc13:38
TheMusoapw: I know that. kano refuses to use a bug tracker period. I've seen some things fixed that he's brought up in here, but I am sure there are many that aren'13:40

apwsmb, can you remind me what was triggered when libusual was enabled14:54
smbapw, With libusual enabled this would try to handle registration of usb storage devices, which would try to load usb-storage rather early as it was built in14:55
apwahh yes, usb storange, thanks14:56
smbno worries :)14:56
apwcking, your machine which is showing the bad sound ... what kernel is it running?15:02
cking2.6.28-12.4315:05
ckingapw: I don't think it's a kernel issue. The error I get is a pulseaudio big. "The CPU load limiter only becomes active as result of PA entering an15:10
ckingendless loop of some kind. It's only symptom of a bug somewhere, but15:10
ckinggives no hint where it actually is."15:10
apwi think that means you have the appropriate 'fixes' for the pointers stuff as i understand it, which might be triggering confused pulse15:10
ckingI suppose I can roll back to an earlier kernel and test15:11
ckingI've just spotted: hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #0. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj.15:12

apwrtg this FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL config change, do we know how much other firmware this may bring into the kernel other than the keyspan stuff?16:53
rtgapw: I think you have to selectively pick the drivers that get firmware. I think the option just enables those selections16:54
apwthere appears to be a few other things which use fw-shipped-* in the Makefiles, which would be changed by it, as as soon as this option is turned on we longer put any firmware for any device which is =y into the firmware module from the kernel16:57
apws/module/result blob/16:57
apwso i assume all of that firmware must go into the kernel image as well16:57
apwit doesn't look like _that_ much, just making sure its what you expect16:57
apwmod-fw := $(fw-shipped-m)16:58
apw# If CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL isn't set, then install the 16:58
apw# firmware for in-kernel drivers too.16:58
apwifndef CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL16:58
apwmod-fw += $(fw-shipped-y)16:58
apwendif16:58
apwinstalled-mod-fw := $(addprefix $(INSTALL_FW_PATH)/,$(mod-fw))16:58
rtgapw: shit. I would not have expected that enabling the option would adversely affect other drivers. 16:59
rtgapw: so, should we put it in the linux-firmware package instead?16:59
apwrtg, risk wise perhaps so for sru ... a difficult call.  what happens to the firmware blob that the kernel builds during build of the kernel17:01
apwi wonder if that should be making its way wholesale into the firmware package17:01
Kanortg: when do you merge aufs2?17:01
Kanortg: http://aufs.sourceforge.net/README.aufs217:01
rtgapw: dunno, lemme look at it again.17:02
Kanoin the test live image is even squashfs 3.1 used, that will never work17:02
Kanoyou need a cvs snapshot17:02
Kanouser space of course17:02
Kanoas squashfs 4 is in the kernel since .2917:03
Kanohmm you are lucky,there is even a final 4.017:04
Kanoin sid17:04
Kanowhen i build my .29 test image i had to use cvs17:05
Kanowell merge aufs2 (it is already .30 compatible) + update squashfs-tools in karmic, then you can hope ;)17:06
Kanortg: do you want to update jaunty to 2.6.28.10 today?17:08
apwjaunty is released now so anything like that would be an sru17:08
apwthat said i thought .28 was already in git17:08
Kanoapw: i mean the jaunty branch17:08
Kanoi do not use precompiled kernels17:08
apwthe jaunty git tree has .10 in it17:09
apwcommit 8bdd945b77faa2d7c63ad669d2d8b1a623c57e6717:09

apw    Linux 2.6.28.1017:09
Kanook17:09
Kanowill compile it now17:09
Kanoor do you want to add some more fixes soon?17:11
apwthere are always commits in the pipeline17:12
apwas for aufs, that pending a decision on how live cd's will be done for karmic17:13
Kanoyou can have it the kernel even if you dont use it ;)17:14
Kanoas you can use it without a live system too17:14
apwno point in carrying delta for something we don't use17:14
Kanoso how do you want to create live images? anything new in casper yet17:15
apwno decision that i am aware of no17:15
Kanowell i create live images, you talk about em ;)17:15
Kanoapw: did you rebase jaunty today? or since when is there .10?17:19
apwjaunty doesn't rebase its released.  the commits for .10 went in about the 2nd17:19
Kanook, then i have it already17:20
Kanoso all i have to try now is aufs2... bbl17:22
clukHi20:06
clukI am trying to provide linux-vserver kernel packages based on the ubuntu kernel in my ppa at:20:07
clukhttps://launchpad.net/~christoph-lukas/+archive/ppa20:07
clukthe vserver kernel image for jaunty is working fine, the vserver functionality is also working fine20:08
clukbut I get an kernel oops when I try to load the nvidia module 180.44 build via dkms for this kernel.20:08
clukcould anybody help me debugging this issue?20:08
clukthe oops is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/169897/20:09

clukmy linux-headers package seems to be broken which seems to break the nvidia module.22:17
