miked595I found that  /sys/devices/system/cpu/kernel_max shows 7. I have a cpu that provides 12 threads. Is it possible to update the kernel's max CPUs without recompiling it? uname -a = Linux sysops 2.6.32-23-generic-pae #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11 09:26:55 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux16:41
BenCmiked595: try the x86_64 kernel/system?16:44
BenCmiked595: or the -server I think16:44
BenCmiked595: and I'm not sure if it can override to a higher amount, but maybe maxcpus=12 on the kernel command line16:45
miked595I am using the 32bit since I've had issues with 64bit supporting hardware properly. I an using the pae kernel since I would having issues with it seeing all of my 6GB of ram. now it does but I still only show 8 of the 12 threads, BenC16:46
BenCmiked595: try the -server kernel16:47
BenCit has pae enabled as well16:47
miked595i'll try that now16:47
BenCmiked595: or maxcpus=12 (I'm not sure if that works, but it's an easy thing to try)16:48
miked595i was thinking it maybe easy just not familiar with the commands on how to do it. I didn't want to just edit /sys/devices/system/cpu/kernel_max without knowing16:50
BenCmiked595: at grub, edit the command line and add maxcpus=12 to the end, and then boot16:51
miked595think i found it 16:51
miked595ya 16:51
BenCmiked595: echo 12 | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/kernel_max16:52
BenCthat _might_ work too :)16:52
miked595ya that didn't work lol plus I tried to edit it as root in vim just now and it seems to have been restored instantly16:53
miked595gonna try just editing the grub line at boot to see if it works. brb16:55
BenC"edit it in vim"16:55
* BenC chuckles a little16:55

DanaGWhy is AHCI not built-in on kernel-ppa?17:05
miked595BenC: the maxcpus in grub didn't work. I also didn't see the server kernel i installed from apt17:09

looking4bWhere can I change the compiler optimization for the kernel? I am debugging and I would like no optimization when my driver is compiled18:25
sebnerHi, I reported a kernel? bug and was told to try with latest mainline kernel. Latest = latest stable or latest unstable? Reported on Lucid system18:30
johanbrsebner, unstable is probably more interesting19:41
sebnerjoaopinto: not so fun for a stable system though19:42
sebnerargh19:44
sebner@ johanbr 19:44
sebnerjoaopinto: sorry19:45
johanbrsebner, well "unstable" is a bit of a misnomer, the 2.6.35-rcX kernels are pretty stable19:53
sebnerjohanbr: heh :P20:04
sebnerjohanbr: the kernel mainline repo has only 2.6.35-rc1~lucid, or should I install the -rc6~maverick kernel?20:32
johanbrsebner, I'd be more inclined to try the maverick kernel, but then I'm a little scared of -rc1 kernels20:33
sebnerjohanbr: k, thx20:38
