kaushalhi06:52
kaushalI installed linux-image-server on 10.10 how do i make it default kernel ?06:52
LetoThe2ndkaushal: change the grub defaults. but i guess you would better ask in the generic support channel, as this one is meant for kernel development.07:07
LetoThe2ndkaushal: #ubuntu, or #ubuntu-{your language tag}, like #ubuntu-fr - for example.07:07
kaushalThanks LetoThe2nd 07:13
apwjoshhunt, i think firmware is normally in there08:30
apwkaushal, normally the latest kernel installed is the default kernel08:36
=== smb` is now known as smb
kaushalapw: ok08:37
kaushalapw: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/539323/08:39
kaushalapw: I have rebooted it too08:39
apwkaushal, i am confused, you only have one kernel installed according to that, so whatever you are running is the server kernel08:41
apwor more specifically 'the kernel for server use'08:41
apwwhich as you are running i386 is the generic-pae kernel08:42
kaushalapw: basically I am needing server kernel08:42
apwkaushal, needing in what sense?  what is the kernel you have not doing for you08:42
kaushalit says --generic and not --server ?08:42
kaushal2.6.24-28-server08:43
kaushalfor example08:43
apwthat kernel is still the kernel we recommend for i386 servers, hense you installed linux-image-server and you got the kernel we recommend for that use08:43
kaushalok08:43
apwfrom lucid onwards that is no longer called -server, as it is also used for larger 'desktops' which were not supported08:44
apwthere is actually not much difference in configuration from -generic to -server for i386 on older releases either08:44
kaushalapw: is there a way to know from /proc 08:47
kaushalthe kernel version08:47
apwcat /proc/version and /proc/version_signature08:48
kaushalapw: Thanks08:53
smbapw, Quick question on the pre-proposed stuff: are you looking at master-next only for the kernel or for lbm and meta as well?09:43
apwsmb, only for kernel, noone has mentioned changing to master-next for anything else yet09:43
apwi don't care if we do change at all if thats less confusing09:43
smbapw, Ok, cool. Then I am good. I have no strong preference there. Just was wondering after having added something to a meta package09:44
apwno ... am assuming if there is a change somone will tell me09:44
smbLikely so09:45

lamontIntel Server System SR1600UR  <-- machine has no disks when hardy scans it... is there a driver that didn't come along for this box until lucid/maverick timeframe?12:40
=== amitk is now known as amitk-afk
apwlamont, there have been some new drivers for sure, or newer firmware for same ... what does lspci say it has13:02
lamontapw: let me get back there13:04
lamontapw: any options you want to lspci?13:11
apw-nnvv to get the pci id's <- lamont 13:12
lamontso here I sit in busybox from pxeboot with a 40kb file... suggestions on how to get it off the box?13:14
apwlamont, well i only want the pci-ids for the disk controller13:15
apw00:1f.2 SATA controller [0106]: Intel Corporation N10/ICH7 Family SATA AHCI Controller [8086:27c1] (rev 02) (prog-if 01 [AHCI 1.0])13:15
lamont00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) 4 port SATA IDE Controller13:15
apwlamont, like on mine here i have that, the bit in []'s is the bit i want13:15
lamontthat sort of beast?13:15
apwthat sounds like it yes13:15
apwwith -nnvv you'll have a [xxxs:yyy] thingy13:15
lamont00:1f.2 IDE interface [0101]: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) 4 port SATA IDE Controller [8086:3a20] (prog-if 8f [Master SecP SecO PriP PriO])13:15
lamontSubsystem: Intel Corporation Unknown device [8086:34de]13:16
lamontI think that second line is rather a smoking gun13:16
apwthat implies the kernel has no mapping for the system itself13:16
apwit doesn't know what sort of server it is13:16
apwwhich isn't supprising for hardy13:17
lamontto be fair, it's certified for 10.10 and later13:17
lamontwell, 10.10 only atm13:17
lamontsince 11.04 certification is kinda hard to claim at alpha113:17
lamontdoes it matter that it's NUMA13:18
apwshouldn't no13:18
lamontnm. hardy did just fine figuring out that it was numa and all that13:18
lamontit would be most kewl if I could get hardy's xen kernel working on these machines... two more ppas if we do13:19
apwfrom natty> drivers/ata/ata_piix.c: { 0x8086, 0x3a20, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, ich8_sat13:20
apwfrom hardy >13:20
lamontis it likely just a matter of adding the PCI ID?13:21
apwlamont, looking now13:22
lamonteventually, if it's simple, you know I'm going to ask you to lob something into a ppa for me to grab and test...13:22
apwlamont, heh, my ears they seem to have stopped working13:23
lamontlol13:23
lamontI didn't say lob something tested at it... :)13:23
apwlamont, does a test kernel need to be in PPA or can i just give you a .deb13:27
lamontactually, I want the pxeboot kernel and initrd from netinst13:27
apwlamont, erm, no idea how those are made13:27
lamontso if it's modules, it's more complicated13:27
lamontdebs will do just fine13:28
apwdoes a PPA build of a kernel make something you can consume in that context ?13:28
apwphew13:28
lamontI might need all the debs, which means ppa, I suspect13:28
apwdebs or .udebs ?13:28
apwlamont, is there a bug associated with this yet ?13:29
lamontno13:29
lamontrather, not that I know of.13:30
lamontand yeah, if you can make it a non-module in the kernel deb you give me, that will simplify my life greatly13:30
apwi386 or amd64 ?13:30
lamontamd6413:30
apwflavour ?13:31
apwlamont, ^13:31
lamont2.6.24-24-generic <-- that's what I'm running now...13:32
lamontfor the final fix, I need 2.6.24-xx-xen13:32
apwyep just interested in finding out if there is any hope13:32
apwlamont, i'll let you know if it builds ...13:35
lamontta.  I have about 16 other things on my plate today, it may be sometime next week before I actually get to test it13:35
apwlamont, sounds familiar13:37
smblamont, apw IIRC there was one guy sending a patch for Hardy to get N10 controllers supported...13:41
apwsmb, got a pointer to that ?13:42
smbRe: Fwd: Dell PowerEdge R410 ICH10 SATA support in Ubuntu Hardy13:42
smbOn our mailing list13:42
apwok13:42
smbWe were a bit doubtful that only adding IDs is all thats needed13:43
smbThen there was no comment back on that13:43
smbOr we got distracted13:43
smbOne of the three13:43
apwhis attempt to claim copyright in code which was already upstream and only a backport seemed lame13:44
apwanyhow, i've just pulle the upstream commit which added the support back13:44
smbThat applied cleanly to Hardy?13:44
apwthe original which applied them yes, they are linked as ich8 , they don't seem to be special ich10 code anywhere13:45
smbHm, ok. So with a simple backport from upstream it is more likely to accept it13:46
apwsmb, it applied without any fuzz even ...13:46
apwand we have the advantage we can get lamont to test it13:46
smbtrue13:46
apwmost of the recent updates for all the really new ICH stuff has just been id's too13:47
smbSounds simple enough to get those supported as soon as servers turn up using that13:48
lamontapw: and if you give me an initrd to go with that kernel, even if I need to boot with break to get reality, that's a bonus13:48
lamontmeh.  I can do that part easily enough13:49
apwlamont, an initrd is harder for sure13:49
apwsmb, do you have a hardy box ?13:50
* lamont does13:50
lamontI have a whole bucket full13:50
apwso we could get the new kernel installed on one to get the initramfs built13:50
smbapw, Not normally running Hardy13:50
smbapw, Oh wait13:52
smbI have the test environment for preventing xen explode again. That is a server install even13:53
smbapw, Have you already started a test build for that on one of your machines?13:54
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
apwsmb, yes build is done, image is uploading to rookery now13:55
smbok. lamont, if you need me to generate an initrd, let me know13:55
lamontsmb: if you would, that would spare me abusing a machine that I shouldn't13:56
smblamont, sure13:57
lamontesp if this is, as I suspect, the same ABI number as current hardy-security/updates13:57
apwsmb, ok will let you know when the kernel is up13:57
smbapw, ok13:57
apw24-28.8313:57
smbapw, Those are the lucky numbers? ;)13:59
apwyep you win the lottery if you play those13:59
* smb wonders how hardly apw would bite into his but is he played and won14:00
JFoI'm sure he would charge a nominal fee smb14:09
JFo:)14:10
apwsmb, http://people.canonical.com/~apw/lamont-ich10-hardy/14:10
JFoso cking that ATI BIOS issue is a breakage in the BIOS or in GRUB2?14:26
smbapw, In my home on people there is a initrd.img-2.6.24-28-generic. Could you add that to your lamont-ich10?14:31

apwlamont, see http://people.canonical.com/~apw/lamont-ich10-hardy/ for all you initrd desires14:40
lamontapw: coolness.  you ok with leaving it there until next week?  (and do you want me to leave it or nuke it when I grab it?14:40
apwjust leave it, it will expire by iteself over time14:42
apwlamont, let me know how it works out14:42
apwas i will completely forget about it shortly14:42

ogasawarabjf: I'm going to push my Lucid fsl-imx51 branch if that's ok.17:36
bjfogasawara, sorry, yes please!17:36
bjfogasawara, we don't really care about those branches :-)17:37
ogasawaraheh17:37
ogasawarabjf: should I go ahead and upload the package to our PPA?17:37
bjfogasawara, you can if you want, i've not uploaded the mvl-dove one though i have one ready, i'm waiting on the discussion with pitti just to see if there are going to be issues17:40
ogasawarabjf: that's a good point, I'll hold off for now.17:41
bjfogasawara, oh, the other thing for mvl-dove is, there is already a build "baking" in -proposed for some time17:41
bjfogasawara, and ... just the fact the branches are "up to date" is better than we've been in a while :-)17:42
ogasawarabjf: probably good to holf off on mvl-dove then if there's still one baking in -proposed.17:42
apwogasawara, don't say push too loudly17:45

ckingno life then?19:28
Sarvattanyone have any recommendations on which commits to start reverting from https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/natty-changes/2010-November/001282.html that might make grub stop loading after a reboot (but works on a cold boot)? 2.6.37-2.10 and earlier work fine, everything later hangs at the grub loading screen after rebooting on my i386 netbook. mainline kernels all work fine19:28
smbcking, If there is beer there is life19:28
ckingsmb, the two mutually exclusive then?19:28
