tgardnerttx, can you live with a day-1 kernel update if she uploads right after A2 freeze islifted?14:59

Keybukapw: thanks for the init cmdline patch; it works perfectly15:19
Keybuktgardner: you remember the iwl3945 problems I was having?15:20
* tgardner notes that apw is on vacation this week15:20
tgardnerKeybuk, sort of15:20
Keybuktgardner: seems it's definitely an upstream kernel issue, there's traffic on LKML about others experiencing it15:21
tgardnerKeybuk, 'iwlwifi: cancel scan watchdog in iwl_bg_abort_scan' just went into Linus' tree15:21
tgardneras well as 'iwlwifi: serialize station management actions'15:22
tgardnerKeybuk, actually, there are a couple of i3945 specific fixes.15:23
Keybukyeah the updates pulled in seem to be the ones people have tested and say fixes it for them15:24
tgardnerKeybuk, so, we''ll get 'em as soon as Linus declares -rc415:24
tgardnerKeybuk, you could always apply just the iwlwifi updates to an -rc3 Maverick kernel to see if it fixes your problems.15:26
Keybukyeah will try that15:28
Keybukthe workaround suggested works for me too (ifconfig wlan0 promisc)15:28
ograso with the init comdline patch, do i need to use the vars in a literal way or are they capitalized by default ? 15:32
ograi.e. do i have root= as root= available in initramfs scripts ? or do i need to check for ROOT ?15:32
ogra(i'm assuming the initramfs init has the vars globally available as well as upstart does)15:33
=== manjo` is now known as manjo
Keybukogra: the patch does not affect such things15:35
Keybukall the patch changes is that, previously, the kernel would only pass unknown arguments to init (splash, frobmybar, etc.)15:35
ograwhat does it affect then ? i thought the vars get exported to the init environment15:36
Keybukwith the patch, the kernel now passes all arguments to init, including those it knew what to do with15:36
Keybukbasically, in the default install, it means that instead of just getting "splash" on its command-line, init now gets "ro quiet splash"15:36
ograah, so i still need to parse the cmdline if i want to look for root= in an initramfs script ? 15:36
Keybukno15:36
Keybukjust look at $root15:36
ograah, sweet 15:36
ograthats what i'm looking for 15:36
Keybukanything with an = in has always, and is still, placed as an envvar in init's environment15:37
Keybukthat is unchanged15:37
Keybuk(indeed, much of the /proc/cmdline parsing in initramfs is entirely pointless for this reason)15:37
ograhmm, i thought that depended on an export in the /init script 15:37
Keybuknope15:37
ograok, great15:37
Keybukthe initramfs /init script is largely wrong, it makes a $ROOT by parsing /proc/cmdline15:37
Keybukwhen $root was always there all along15:37
ograright, i mistook it and used the same parsing routine in my initramfs scripts15:38
ograwhich apparently is a waste :)15:38
ogragood to know15:38
ograi guess there are a lot of scripts that can drop such routines now ... the framebuffer handling parses /proc/cmdline too iirc15:39

ogra1215:40
Keybuk"now" is irrelevant, as I said15:41
Keybukthe patch doesn't change whether or not you need those routiens15:41
Keybukyou've *never* really needed them for the = ones15:41
Keybukbut you do currently need them to parse out keywords15:41
ograyeah, but there are a bunch that still parse the = ones 15:42

ogasawaramanjo: "blacklist old firewire stack & enable new stack", seems that's still in progress?  Should I bump it to A3?17:28

jjohansenogasawara: no, I meant moved to alpha317:29

tgardnerKeybuk, upstream is gonna make it 018:01
