[00:39] how do i send acpi_osi=Linux as a boot param while booting from the cd, I tryed acpi_osi=Linux,acpi_osi="Linux",acpi_osi=linux, acpi_osi="linux", acpi_osi=!Linux and evern tryed acpi_osi=eatshit and i ge tthe same result, like a hundred acpi errors saying stuff is not found, I cant make it our bcause it doenst stop scrolling even after like 5 minutes [00:40] I have the insyde h2o bios on this laptop and I cant even boot without calling up acpi=off [00:41] i cant seem to even try acpi_osi=Linux [00:43] sounds like your bios doesn't handle acpi very well [00:45] it is a new bios that changes the way we have to interact with the hardware somehow from what Ive read, I cant believe that windows is the only OS that has the lowdown On how to operate this laptop, it is a Tooshiba Sattelite l505d_es5025 [00:46] is that what MS is up to now? getting firmware writers to block linux from being able to even use the machine? or is the kernel just falling behind the time a bit? Or should I just return this piece of crap laptop that can only run windows? [00:46] it was probably never tested with linux [00:46] there are lots of crappy bioses out there [00:47] the L303 has worked but i guess there are some acpi issues [00:47] I cant even get it to boot without acpi=off, but then I only have one CPU and I am sure a ton of other problems [00:48] is there some common work around for this that I am unaware of? [00:48] Or I just have to wait untill they start to work with that Bois in the kernel? [00:49] there may be workarounds, depends on how badly broken it is [00:49] you could try booting with "noapic nolapic" [00:50] yea, Ill try them out reall quick [00:53] well, gotta go... good luck [11:58] is it just me or is 2.6.32-12 broken? i get an error when booting. "something over range" i dont recall first word so i used something [12:36] i cant report the bug using ubuntu-bug it gives me "The problem cannot be reported: This is not a genuine Ubuntu package" I'm using the Ubuntu kernel [13:56] test [13:56] hello [13:57] Ayla, please file a bug first , they will only look at that [13:57] bye [13:58] We've stopped having random channel attacks since moving to the new ircd, probably should /mode -q $~a here (that will let unidentified users speak) [13:58] ping me if there are any questions about that. === Nafallo is now known as 30BAAADYI === Hedge|Hog is now known as Hedgehog [18:15] I need sources of kernel package of 2.6.33-rc6, so I could patch them with my driver, and expose in an PPA [18:16] http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ contains only binaries [18:35] MaximLevitsky: linux-source-2.6.33_2.6.33-020633rc6_all.deb [18:35] jk-: not that [18:35] I need .tar.gz, .dsc, files [18:36] so I can build new package [18:36] but I guess that make-kpg will do that [18:36] <_ruben> why repackage a complete kernel for a driver? drivers can be installed seperately just fine .. ideally using a dkms package for instance [18:36] _ruben: I did several changes in several places [18:37] I sent patches upstream [18:37] <_ruben> ah [18:38] This is same reason I patch against 2.6.33 [18:38] I initially targeted 2.6.32, but for merge I ported everything to 2.6.33 [18:39] <_ruben> guess one of the ubuntu kernel devs will have to help out here .. perhaps best to send an email to the -kernel mailinglist [18:39] Maybe [18:39] Only one question [18:39] Does ubuntu customized kernel 2.6.33 exist? [18:40] or it is vanilla git [18:40] MaximLevitsky: it's vanilla git [18:40] <_ruben> those mainline builds are annlia [18:40] <_ruben> err [18:40] <_ruben> vanilla [18:40] Thanks a lot [18:40] so you can probably just make-kpgk it [18:41] jk-: that what I am doing now [18:41] cool. [18:46] is there a special way that i should mark Bug #508746 as having a patch upstream? [18:47] i have linked to the commit in a comment
