[06:05] <NCommander> hey andrewks and jbailey 
[07:33] <NCommander> lamont, so I got my ia64 :-)
[11:13] <mcasadevall> so the current ia64 jaunty kernel boots (yay), but lacks important things like a USB stack it seems :-/
[11:13] <mcasadevall> or has its kernel modules in the wrong folder
[11:13] <NCommander> #@!#
[11:38] <lamont> NCommander: nevertheless, that bodes well for having a bootable jaunty-server/ia64
[11:40] <NCommander> lamont, actaully, the modules folder came out in the wrong place
[11:40]  * NCommander is actually running jaunty/ia64 happily 
[11:40]  * NCommander is actually chatting from it ;_0
[11:40] <NCommander> *:-)
[11:40] <NCommander> I'm now trying to build a Hardy CD for your friend
[11:40] <NCommander> (I can't figure out how to generate a tasks file)
[11:41] <lamont> ah - jaunty CD would be fine for him - he wants shiny-n-installable... istr that ia64 actually installed with hardy
[11:41] <lamont> though I could be remembering wrong
[11:41] <NCommander> Oh, I installed gusty and upgraded to jaunty
[11:42] <NCommander> No jaunty CDs :-/
[11:43] <lamont> right.  we need a (server?) install CD for him - apparently he never heard of network install
[11:43] <NCommander> There is a live CD available and an alternate
[11:43] <NCommander> I used the alternate since I didn't trust ubiquity to install elilo
[11:43] <lamont> but a 33% increase in user base is always a good thing to foster, no?
[11:43] <NCommander> Installing Hardy probably a safer bet; the kernel won't install properly in jaunty out of the box or autoupgrade due to the hosed metapackage
[11:43] <lamont> yeah - pretty sure the livecd is, um, pointlessly small
[11:44] <lamont> NCommander: right.  you get me an iso with all the right debs, and I'll make it love installing more... (I do hate munging the ubuntu-keyring package)
[11:44] <lamont> and why are you up at 7AM?
[11:45] <lamont> my zx6000 is running jaunty, fwiw
[11:45] <NCommander> lamont, the right question is why am I not asleep :-/
[11:45]  * NCommander notes his ia64 is a 900Mhz dual SMP w/ 10GB of RAm
[11:45] <lamont> and that went hardy -> intrepid (hardy kernel, oops) -> jaunty via distupgrade
[11:45] <NCommander> Yeah, that works great
[11:45] <lamont> MemTotal:     12493808 kB
[11:46] <NCommander> bah, you win
[11:46] <NCommander> of course, i got this thing for free, so I'm not complaining
[11:48] <lamont> next time I have it apart for a dusting, I'll have to see if I have more memory to stuff in it
[11:48] <NCommander> ia64's have nutty amount of RAM I find
[11:49]  * NCommander thinks having your friend runny Hardy probably the sanest thing to do, and then upgrade to LTS+1 where we'll have still working ia64 support :-)
[11:49] <lamont> MemTotal:      8187788 kB <-- home workstation
[11:49] <lamont> though to be fair, it's x86-64
[11:49] <NCommander> lamont, my laptop (main machine) only has 4GB and 500GB of disk space
[11:49] <NCommander> (its also amd64)
[11:53] <lamont> :-(  I only got 3GB with mine
[12:00] <NCommander> heh
[12:00] <NCommander> Well, I use this laptop as a desktop
[12:00] <NCommander> (until I had the ia64, I had no desktop at all)
[14:22] <jbailey> NCommander, And you stayed out of jail!
[14:22] <jbailey> Excellent.
[14:22] <jbailey> Tell me how you like the stash of cocai... 
[14:22] <jbailey> errr..
[14:22] <jbailey> NM
[14:23] <NCommander> jbailey, yes well, the spaceheater is now running Jaunty (and keeping my feet warm ;-))
[14:24] <jbailey> Wonderful.
[14:24] <jbailey> I'm glad it's getting some use.
[14:52] <andrewks> yes but now my rack is lopsided
[14:52] <andrewks> :(
[14:55] <jbailey> andrewks, You had such a nice rack last time I saw you.
[15:01] <andrewks> aww ... I bet you say that to everyone you let hold your junk
[15:16] <NCommander> andrewks, I could bring you my PREP
[15:16] <NCommander> Its got a roaring 133Mhz processor :-)
[15:16] <NCommander> (but a PReP compatible ethernet card ;-))
[15:23] <andrewks> if it can't run current kernels, it's dead to me
[15:23] <andrewks> although still tempting
[15:24] <andrewks> is that considered a form of necrophilia?
[15:25] <jbailey> andrewks, No, it's probably already fucked.
[15:25] <jbailey> Nothing left for you to do. =)
[15:26] <andrewks> pass
[15:26] <andrewks> now, that BSD girl...
[15:26] <jbailey> hah
[15:26] <jbailey> Did you ever find her?
[15:26] <jbailey> BSDCan was last weekend in Ottawa.
[15:29] <andrewks> no
[23:03] <andrewks> I see IBM is trying to do PReP again
[23:04] <andrewks> maybe if they would price the workstations below $5k it might work
