| Kano | is there something wrong with fglrx + u 37-12 kernel? | 01:51 |
|---|---|---|
| Kano | all i get is a crash | 01:51 |
| Kano | with 37 mainline it works | 01:52 |
| jjohansen | Kano: which 37 mainline? | 02:25 |
| jjohansen | ie. how recent? What is the head? | 02:26 |
| Kano | yes 37 mainline kernel compared to 37-12 | 02:26 |
| jjohansen | Kano: right, but how recent is the mainline? | 02:27 |
| Kano | well i did not test ubuntu, i tested with debian squeeze | 02:27 |
| Kano | 2.6.37 final | 02:27 |
| Kano | the u precompiled one | 02:27 |
| Kano | will check nvidia tomorrow, but fglrx never worked | 02:27 |
| Kano | http://kanotix.com/files/hellfire/ubuntu/ | 02:28 |
| Kano | thats that i used | 02:28 |
| Kano | test system was i7-880 with hd5670 64 bit | 02:29 |
| Kano | nothing changed expect kernel, .37 mainline works... | 02:29 |
| jjohansen | Kano: hrmmm okay, I am not aware of any issues but I haven't been following the video drivers closely | 02:30 |
| jjohansen | I'll poke apw and see if he knows anything | 02:30 |
| Kano | maybe i install u tomorrow too | 02:31 |
| Kano | but thats really curious | 02:31 |
| jjohansen | Kano: yeah it is, what behavior did you see? | 02:31 |
| Kano | crash on load of kdm | 02:31 |
| jjohansen | black screen on boot, purple ubuntu screen | 02:31 |
| Kano | i tested it with debian squeeze currently | 02:32 |
| Kano | but u kernel | 02:32 |
| Kano | + firmware+wireless-crda | 02:32 |
| jjohansen | right, I recalled after the puple ubuntu screen Q | 02:32 |
| jjohansen | so none of the crazy plymouth boot issues | 02:33 |
| Kano | well i have got plymouth installed,but p works with mainline too | 02:33 |
| Kano | it does not matter if i disable it or not | 02:33 |
| Kano | using oss ati driver x works | 02:34 |
| Kano | basically i thought i could use u kernel now without recompile, i always disabled your hpa hack | 02:36 |
| Kano | but that was reverted for -12 kernel... so i wanted to try it | 02:36 |
| jjohansen | ah, well I'm not sure why it isn't working, especially with mainline .37 working | 02:37 |
| Kano | well the gcc is definitely different which is used | 02:37 |
| Kano | i can install mainline kernel even with lenny | 02:37 |
| jjohansen | Kano: which mainline did you use? | 02:37 |
| jjohansen | ie who built it | 02:37 |
| Kano | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.37-natty/ | 02:38 |
| jjohansen | okay, that should be the same version of gcc | 02:38 |
| Kano | the linux headers install with lenny libc6 | 02:38 |
| Kano | but not the natty ones | 02:39 |
| Kano | so gcc is different | 02:39 |
| jjohansen | hrmmm /me is puzzled, our mainline kernels should be using the same build env | 02:40 |
| Kano | they dont use pbuilder | 02:40 |
| Kano | i really like the mainline kernels because of the backwards compat | 02:40 |
| Kano | you have to disable modeset then you can use em with lenny too | 02:41 |
| jjohansen | ah nice, I wasn't aware they were that backwards compatable | 02:43 |
| Kano | only when you know what you do ;) | 02:43 |
| Kano | the hardy gcc is used, hardy is mainly compatible with lenny | 02:49 |
| Kano | Linux version 2.6.37-020637-generic (root@zinc) (gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)) #201101050908 SMP Wed Jan 5 10:17:13 UTC 2011 | 02:49 |
| Kano | from cat /proc/version | 02:49 |
| lamont | I'm going to guess that seeing something on 3 different machines with three (or is it 2?) different types of hardware makes it likely to be in the kernel, not the individual hardware... | 03:00 |
| lamont | when I hit the disk drive really hard, the swraid devices seem to decide that one of the drives has failed (usually complaining about a timeout in SCSI).. rebooting the machine magically restores everything to hunky-dory status | 03:01 |
| lamont | lucid and maverick kernels, fwiw | 03:01 |
| Kano | and pure mainline too? | 03:02 |
| lamont | haven't looked | 03:02 |
| lamont | lacking a machine to test on | 03:02 |
| lamont | I may have to eat my words... the most recent failure may well have been a controller falling over | 03:14 |
