Do you know anything about this? [13:53] tseliot, apw is on vacation today [13:53] rtg: ah, ok, thanks [14:09] rtg: why no -meta package update? [14:09] Keybuk, for the kernel? I suppose 'cause Andy hasn't done it yet. [14:12] I wondered if there was any reason for that [14:15] Keybuk, -meta is at 2.6.32.8.8, which references the latest kernel. Andy uploaded it about an hour ago (though he's supposed to be on holiday) [14:18] smb: did my email convince you? [14:20] tseliot, It sounded reasonable. I now only try to make up my mind whether the problem is grave enough to justify direct inclusion or I rather try to get it included in one of the next upstream stable releases and get it back from there. [15:39] smb, can you remind me what the ACPI knobs are for controlling C states? [15:40] I have a system that resets when it goes idle [15:40] rtg, might be idle=poll,halt,... [15:41] smb, isn't there a /proc/ or /sys knob? [15:41] but maybe others... not sure about the later stuff I thought it was boot args [15:42] smb, looking in processor_idle.c. it appears to be a module param [15:43] rtg processor.max_cstate= [15:43] smb, right [15:44] rtg, At least does not show up in the parameters dir on my system... [15:45] smb, I'm reasonably convinced that this platform resets when it goes into deep C states, or is throttled to P0, both of which imply an ACPI/BIOS problem. [15:46] rtg, Right, then I'd try either with the max_cstate=2 or idle=halt options on boot [16:35] greetings. ubuntu 9.04 x86 32-bit -- after installing 2.6.28-17 last week, i am no longer able to VPN using cisco client (4.8.02); reboot to -16 kernel and i'm back in business. cisco_ipsec module loads OK, no errors, but connection is never negotiated. any suggestions on debugging this would be appreciated. [16:47] casl, I am not sure I can help too much, but has the cisco module been recompiled for the new kernel? [16:49] smb, thanks. yes. i re-run the cisco installer with each kernel update. has worked OK for last 6+ months. kernel module loads OK. no obvious errors reported. === BenC1 is now known as BenC [16:53] casl, OK, cause the update had some connector callback changes that it needs to pick up. If the module has no debug option... maybe ethereal or was that wireshark nowadays... [16:59] smb, thanks! i just realized that there are .o's in the installer directory that did not get rebuilt. going to reboot, make clean & see if that helps [17:06] smb, THANK YOU! "make clean" before the reinstall of the cisco vpn client seems to have picked up the needed changes! === ghostcube_ is now known as ghostcube [17:07] smb: opinions on my last emai? [17:08] tseliot, maybe. err, if I would read it... [17:08] tseliot, give me a few minutes [17:08] smb: ok, thanks [18:42] hi, i am not sure if this is the right place, but i am having troubles building 2.6.32 under karmic. I am trying to build an unpatched kernel (to start with) from the ubuntu git repostiory, following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile. The compilation goes fine if I build latest ubuntu-karmic, but it just hangs always at the same place when trying to build ubuntu-lucid [18:42] http://pastebin.com/f1530df67 [18:43] is there some requirements on the compiler that Karmic does not fulfill for building this 2.6.32?? [18:43] i build my 2.6.32 kernel fine [18:44] s/build/built [18:45] ok.. it's weird, because i don't get any error message, nor CPU usage once it hangs... Always at: LD ubuntu/dm-raid4-5/built-in.o - what is so special about it? [18:59] Hi, trying to compile the karmic-proposed kernel under pbuilder I get the following error [18:59] EE: Previous or current ABI file missing! [19:00] what am I missing? [19:06] bjaglin, use this page as reference: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelMaintenance [19:13] rtg: thanks, i already had a look at it actually, but it looks like I am facing a toolchain problem more than a config problem, since i managed to build 2.6.31 without any problem from the ubuntu git repo [19:13] bjaglin, I'm not aware of any toolchain isses wrt building lucid under karmic. [19:20] rtg: ok. Since it always hangs on the same file when linking, does it make sense to upgrade my binutils/gcc to the packages provided in lucid to exclude any problem there? the changelog for binutils between karmic and lucid does not look really relevant though... [19:24] bjaglin, I think that'll just make a mess. I think your best bet is to install a lucid chroot and build within that environment. [19:37] rtg: i'll try that, thanks [20:45] hi ogasawara_ I'm ready whenever you are. [20:47] JFo: ok cool, I'll call ya in 2min [20:47] no problem [21:27] ogasawara_, think I lost you [21:57] rtg: found my problem, it had nothing to do with the toolchain... fsam7400 was recently moved from misc to its own directory in ubuntu/, and in the Makefile, there is a KERNELSRC=?/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build that was empty for me since I did not have the headers of my current kernel, and freezing the following awk call. isn't it a problem? [22:01] i am a pure newbie with kernel building, and please tell me if i am wrong but i find it strange that `uname -r` is used in a script, since the target kernel might be completely different than the kernel running, no?
