[00:45] <lamont> CIFS VFS: Unexpected lookup error -26 <-- what's that mean?
[04:01] <Sarvatt> smb: mini 10v has a PIIX, but i've been using a patch on my aspire one whenever I build kernels for the past year and a half to quirk it over to AHCI mode - http://www.sarvatt.com/git/cgit.cgi/linux/commit/?h=AA1&id=b5a19a3fff2236e6f75c0b0c8931c34a45524c66
[04:02] <Sarvatt> that fails spectacularly with the PATA CFA SSD's in AOA110 models though :)
[05:36] <MTeck> ok... I compiled this kernel and now I can't login with sudo
[05:36] <MTeck> that's odd :P
[06:41] <MTecknology> Why does the generic config use NL80211_TESTMODE? The hint even says "Say N."
[06:41] <MTecknology> Just curious why things like this are selected By default
[10:27] <czr> hey all. was directed here by Ian_Corne from #ubuntu+1. trying to figure out the right way to get one small change from 2.6.33 to be included in the lucid kernel.
[10:28] <czr> basically, hp mini 5102 (netbooks) have no connectivity with lucid kernel now. internal WLAN needs restricted drivers, and the internal NIC is not recognized by sky2-driver (there's a small patch that enables the latter at least).
[10:28] <czr> what would be the most correct way of requesting such a change to the lucid kernel?
[10:46] <czr> well, I've made a bug report for now: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/543314
[10:46] <ubot3> Malone bug 543314 in linux "no connectivity (WLAN or LAN) with HP mini 5102 (netbook)" [Undecided,New] 
[11:59] <dupondje> Can some dev check https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/543314 ?
[11:59] <ubot3> Malone bug 543314 in linux "Frequently used NIC (Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 4381) not supported" [Undecided,Confirmed] 
[11:59] <dupondje> eventually I can make a debdiff if needed
[12:00] <czr> I volunteer for testing if necessary (I might be afk for a bit now and then though)
[12:02] <dupondje> czr: i'll check if I can push a package to my ppa later today with the fix included so you can test
[12:52] <czr> dupondje, cool, drop me a privmsg if you don't mind
[15:37] <IMoM> can I place a working kernel and modules from another distro on an Ubuntu install? the normal kernel has "features" I don't want and my other kernel works.  anyone tried this?
[15:44] <IMoM> or, is there a way to compile the Ubuntu kernel so it dosn't mess up my display ?
[16:08] <BenC> IMoM: we'd much prefer figuring out what about our kernel is messing up your display
[16:29] <IMoM> BenC,  so would I..  first, I am using a P3 with a VIA chipset.  the Video chipset is Chips and Technologies.  The kernel starts to load, still running through initrd before the root partition is loaded, looks like about the time the font changes where the screen locks up and starts to "white out"
[16:29] <BenC> IMoM: boot without splash on the kernel command line
[16:30] <BenC> sounds like an invalid mode is being set
[16:30] <IMoM> that is what I do..  even single user mode
[16:30] <BenC> single user mode does it as well?
[16:31] <IMoM> yes.. event single user mode, I attempted to recompile the kernel on another P3 cutting out what I thought might be loading.
[16:31] <BenC> IMoM: is the system still alive? do you have a CRT (non-lcd) you can connect to the system?
[16:32] <IMoM> I do not have a way to get VGA on this.. :( or a CDROM.  but yes it is still alive..  I can Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot
[16:33] <IMoM> oddly enough, Fedora kernels do not work either.  but the latest CentOS does
[16:34] <BenC> IMoM: if you could (blindly) do "dmesg > dmesg.txt" and "lsmod > lsmod.txt" while it is in that state, and put those files up for me to look at, we might be able to get a little further (do this while booted without splash and into single user)
[16:34] <BenC> IMoM: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[16:35] <IMoM> 9.04 I think..  I am attempting to install LinuxICE
[16:35] <IMoM> it will take me a while to reinstall on my laptop and transfer over to the problem box
[16:36] <IMoM> actually, I might be able to redirect to a serial to capture the output...
[16:40] <IMoM> let me get it installed and I'll ping you..
[16:40] <IMoM> won't take too long, its from a live CD
[16:47] <IMoM> just confirmed 9.04, starting install process now
[16:54] <BenC> IMoM: so the livecd works without problems?
[16:59] <IMoM> BenC, I am not able to get a CDROM on the suspect box.  I have to install on another P3 and move the HDD over
[17:00] <dupondje> whats a clean way to make an own kernel package ? fetch source / patch / make-kpkg ?
[17:37] <dupondje> czr: you have 32 or 64 bit ?
[18:06] <czr> dupondje, 32-bit
[18:12] <IMoM> BenC, do you know if console over serial is compiled into the kernel?  
[18:14] <IMoM> dosent matter..  I got network connection.  didn't think of that before
[18:47] <IMoM> BenC, I was able to ssh to the box.. I have the files...  where would you like me to place them?
[19:07] <IMoM> BenC, both files on in http://pastebin.ca/1848405
[19:09] <_iTroll> hey guys, trying to use 2.6.33 from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33/. This kernel appears to not include the aufs module, which I have on my standard karmic install, is that expected?  If so, is there a method for me to build this out of tree?
[19:12] <crimsun> instead of 2.6.33.1?
[19:14] <_iTroll> just the 2.6.33 based kernel 	linux-image-2.6.33-020633-generic_2.6.33-020633_i386.deb
[19:15] <ali1234> _iTroll: If you re-used the existing configuration, note that Ubuntu kernels build with debugging information on, which makes the resulting kernel modules (*.ko files) much larger than they would otherwise be. To turn this off, go into "Kernel hacking"; then, under "Kernel debugging", turn OFF "Compile the kernel with debug info".
[19:15] <ali1234> just noticed that on the kernel build page
[19:15] <ali1234> that's why we got huge kernel packages :)
[19:15] <ali1234> should read things properly :)
[19:16] <_iTroll> ali1234: thanks, sounds good.  Still wondering if I can get away with getting aufs for 	linux-image-2.6.33-020633-generic_2.6.33-020633_i386.deb without rebuilding...
[19:16] <ali1234> possibly but packaging it might be a pain
[19:17] <_iTroll> ali1234: not so worried about the packaging for this purpose
[19:17] <ali1234> having said that i'm not sure a mainline kernel will work for a livecd anyway
[19:18] <_iTroll> ali1234: i've made quite a few with remastersys, it works fine.  However linux-image-2.6.33-020633-generic_2.6.33-020633_i386.deb is missing aufs.ko, which makes building a livecd with remastersys impossible
[19:21] <IMoM> since BenC is busy, is there anyone else that would be able to assist with my kernel boot video problem?
[19:34] <IMoM> I have the same issue with the frame buffer disabled on boot
[19:39] <_iTroll> why do the kernels from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ not contain any modules in /lib/module/`uname -r`/kernel/ubuntu ?
[19:39] <ali1234> because they're mainline?
[19:39] <crimsun> because they're mainline kernels.
[19:39] <crimsun> that is, no Ubuntu sauce.
[19:40] <_iTroll> crimsun: damn, I thought they were ubuntu sauced. that would explain a lot.
[19:42] <_iTroll> does there exist another source or ppa for newer ubuntu kernels?
[19:43] <crimsun> the definitive sources are in git
[19:44] <_iTroll> i see
[19:52] <IMoM> are there any developers out there?
[19:53] <crimsun> clarify, please
[19:54] <IMoM> crimsun, I seem to have a kernel issue that looses video while booting
[19:54] <crimsun> what graphics chipset?
[19:55] <IMoM> Chips and Technologies F69000 HiQVideo
[19:55] <crimsun> ugh
[19:56] <IMoM> I know...
[19:56] <IMoM> but still, I have no terminal access 
[19:56] <IMoM> not even single user
[19:57] <mjg59> Plausibly a vga16fb issue.?
[19:57] <IMoM> I don't see any errors in dmesg, all seems to be detected
[19:59] <IMoM> the last thing I see on the screen is an audit message right after the nForce2 chipset detection
[20:03] <IMoM> I am open to any suggestions at this time, just to get something on the screen
[20:05] <IMoM> mjg59, i disabled the frame buffer on the kernel boot.. no change
[20:14] <BenC> IMoM: disabling splash doesn't disable framebuffer
[20:14] <IMoM> no, but vga=normal nomodeset and nofb should
[20:16] <IMoM> got those from searching the forums and such...
[20:22] <BenC> I don't think those do what you want
[20:22] <BenC> disabling framebuffer would be forcing vga16fb and vesafb to not be loaded
[20:23] <BenC> IMoM: if fb was disabled, you would not get a mode switch at all, and your text mode would be unchanged through out the boot process
[20:24] <IMoM> did I mistype the option?
[20:27] <BenC> No, nofb doesn't seem to exist and nomodeset appears to be a no-op
[20:28] <IMoM> I just tried vga=ask  and selected 0  no change
[20:32] <IMoM> what about fb=false ?
[20:33] <IMoM> tried it, nothing
[20:52] <IMoM> is there anything else I can try?
[21:07] <IMoM> short of placing another disto kernel on there...
[21:23] <Sarvatt> IMoM: try blacklist=vga16fb?
[21:24] <dupondje> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/543314 => is there any chance to get it into Lucid ?
[21:24] <ubot3> Malone bug 543314 in linux "Frequently used NIC (Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 4381) not supported" [Undecided,Confirmed] 
[21:25] <IMoM> Sarvatt, as a kernel boot option ?
[21:25] <Sarvatt> yeah
[21:26] <IMoM> nope..  same result
[21:54] <johanbr> Sarvatt, is "blacklist=" implemented by an ubuntu patch? according to the upstream kernel docs, it doesn't seem to exist
[21:55] <Sarvatt> initramfs-tools
[21:57] <Sarvatt> see /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init and /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/blacklist
[21:59] <IMoM> does that suggest that it is not in the 9.04 default kernel?
[21:59] <johanbr> ahhh, I see :)
[22:08] <IMoM> I am preparing a known working distro kernel and going to try that..
