[06:56] <Iraqi> is there way to install Ubuntu on symbian OS 9 v3 or v5 ?? :)
[08:50] <tim> hi, trying to compile 3.6.35-rc6, make-kpkg aborts with the error: dpkg-gencontrol: error: package linux-image-2.6.35-rc6+ not in control info ... any idea, why?
[16:41] <miked595> I 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/Linux
[16:44] <BenC> miked595: try the x86_64 kernel/system?
[16:44] <BenC> miked595: or the -server I think
[16:45] <BenC> miked595: and I'm not sure if it can override to a higher amount, but maybe maxcpus=12 on the kernel command line
[16:46] <miked595> I 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, BenC
[16:47] <BenC> miked595: try the -server kernel
[16:47] <BenC> it has pae enabled as well
[16:47] <miked595> i'll try that now
[16:48] <BenC> miked595: or maxcpus=12 (I'm not sure if that works, but it's an easy thing to try)
[16:50] <miked595> i 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 knowing
[16:51] <BenC> miked595: at grub, edit the command line and add maxcpus=12 to the end, and then boot
[16:51] <miked595> think i found it 
[16:51] <miked595> ya 
[16:52] <BenC> miked595: echo 12 | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/kernel_max
[16:52] <BenC> that _might_ work too :)
[16:53] <miked595> ya that didn't work lol plus I tried to edit it as root in vim just now and it seems to have been restored instantly
[16:55] <miked595> gonna try just editing the grub line at boot to see if it works. brb
[16:55] <BenC> "edit it in vim"
[16:55]  * BenC chuckles a little
[17:05] <DanaG> [    3.015786] RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
[17:05] <DanaG> [    3.031682] VFS: Cannot open root device "sda6" or unknown-block(0,0)
[17:05] <DanaG> ARGH>
[17:05] <DanaG> Why is AHCI not built-in on kernel-ppa?
[17:09] <miked595> BenC: the maxcpus in grub didn't work. I also didn't see the server kernel i installed from apt

[18:25] <looking4b> Where can I change the compiler optimization for the kernel? I am debugging and I would like no optimization when my driver is compiled
[18:30] <sebner> Hi, I reported a kernel? bug and was told to try with latest mainline kernel. Latest = latest stable or latest unstable? Reported on Lucid system
[19:41] <johanbr> sebner, unstable is probably more interesting
[19:42] <sebner> joaopinto: not so fun for a stable system though
[19:44] <sebner> argh
[19:44] <sebner> @ johanbr 
[19:45] <sebner> joaopinto: sorry
[19:53] <johanbr> sebner, well "unstable" is a bit of a misnomer, the 2.6.35-rcX kernels are pretty stable
[20:04] <sebner> johanbr: heh :P
[20:32] <sebner> johanbr: the kernel mainline repo has only 2.6.35-rc1~lucid, or should I install the -rc6~maverick kernel?
[20:33] <johanbr> sebner, I'd be more inclined to try the maverick kernel, but then I'm a little scared of -rc1 kernels
[20:38] <sebner> johanbr: k, thx
