| fairuz | Hi, I just need to write a line of code in privileged mode. Is there any way doing this than writing a device driver? | 08:31 | 
| === smb` is now known as smb | ||
| jj-afk | fairuz: well a module, or modifying the kernel directly | 08:36 | 
| === jj-afk is now known as jjohansen | ||
| fairuz | jj-afk: module == device driver, thats what i'm trying to avoid | 08:36 | 
| fairuz | since i just want to write 1 line of code | 08:37 | 
| jjohansen | fairuz: does it need to be permanent | 08:39 | 
| fairuz | nope | 08:39 | 
| fairuz | just for one time run | 08:39 | 
| fairuz | jjohansen: any idea on this? some system call or something | 08:41 | 
| jjohansen | ksplice | 08:42 | 
| fairuz | never heard of those | 08:46 |

| apw | smb where did we get to with bug #539467 | 10:15 | 
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 539467 in linux "SATA link power management causes disk errors and corruption" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/539467 | 10:16 | 
| smb | apw, To the point that upstream said likely controller and whether we can build kernels for test ind whether medium savings is ok. | 10:17 | 
| smb | medium is ok but I did not get to send a reply for that | 10:17 | 
| fairuz | hi, can i ioremap a same physical addr several times? or it it's not possible :) | 10:46 | 
| jjohansen | fairuz: maybe it would be platform dependent, the value returned isn't guarenteed to even be virtually mapped | 10:55 |

| sforshee | cking, didn't you discover an msr that gives the firmware version? | 12:14 | 
| cking | sforshee, I didn't get around to checking it out on various platforms I have here. | 12:14 | 
| cking | it's on my list of things to poke at | 12:15 | 
| sforshee | do you happen to have the msr number handy? | 12:15 | 
| cking | not off the top of my head | 12:16 | 
| sforshee | i guess you found it in the bios bits code? | 12:16 | 
| cking | nope, in section 28.4 vol 3b of the IA-32 arch docs | 12:17 | 
| sforshee | okay, i'll take a look, thanks | 12:18 | 
| * cking hopes he recalled the section correctly, it was 2 days ago | 12:18 | |
| cking | sforshee, how come - you want to check the f/w version? | 12:19 | 
| cking | I mean microcode version | 12:19 | 
| cking | http://mvogt.wordpress.com/2011/03/10/apt-btrfs-snapshot/ - nice | 12:20 | 
| sforshee | cking, wondering if a machine with a C-state hang could be due to old microcode | 12:22 | 
| sforshee | buggy old microcode, that is | 12:22 | 
| cking | who knows, worth a try | 12:24 | 
| smb | tgardner, Have you seen my comment about that screen corruption patch for mvl-dove? Not sure where it got pushed anyway. I did not see any update when fetching | 13:57 | 
| tgardner | smb, the mvl-dove branch in Lucid? | 13:59 | 
| tgardner | smb, ah, forgot to push | 14:00 | 
| smb | apw, Tejun sent some patch to try out for bug 539467. Currently building natty based test kernels and then update the bug | 14:00 | 
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 539467 in linux "SATA link power management causes disk errors and corruption" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/539467 | 14:00 | 
| smb | tgardner, Ok, makes sense then. Btw, then you have to apply to maverick-mvl-dove as well as that wont propagate on rebase | 14:00 | 
| tgardner | smb, the Maverick branch is actually copied from Lucid. | 14:01 | 
| tgardner | IIRC | 14:01 | 
| === diwic is now known as diwic_afk | ||
| smb | tgardner, Hm, maybe I confure mlv with fsl then. One of them we rebased on an older release. | 14:02 | 
| smb | confuse even | 14:02 | 
| tgardner | smb, Maverick uses debian.lucid-mvl-dove/etc/update-from-lucid-mvl-dove | 14:03 | 
| smb | tgardner, Ah, ok. Ignore me then | 14:03 | 
| tgardner | smb, I ignore you only at my peril. | 14:03 | 
| smb | tgardner, I am mostly harmless. Anyway, I think I lost track of the all those arms a bit | 14:05 | 
| tgardner | smb, I have trouble keeping them straight myself. | 14:09 | 
| smb | tgardner, Ok, got the update now. Oh, and just to be a bit more verbose on that config change. I just feel it would help those of us who are not that good at remembering things and are lazy (like me) to have a bit more hinting in the description of the commit than just the buglink. That was my concern there but my reply was a bit short | 14:10 | 
| rydberg | cfo, regarding yesterday, bugfix and explanation can be found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/11/156 | 14:38 |

| kristian-aalborg | hi all | 18:34 | 
| kristian-aalborg | please have a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1703598 (about building and moving a kernel) | 18:34 | 
| jjohansen | kristian-aalborg: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel | 18:37 | 
| jjohansen | kristian-aalborg: that will create a .deb file you can then copy that over and install with | 18:38 | 
| jjohansen | sudo dpkg -i linux-imageXXXXX.deb | 18:38 | 
| kristian-aalborg | hi jjohansen - I think I tried that and failed, but I'll try again ;) | 18:39 | 
| jjohansen | where XXXXX is replaced by what the file is actually named | 18:39 | 
| kristian-aalborg | yup | 18:39 | 
| kristian-aalborg | can't remember what went wrong, might have been me being in a rush | 18:40 | 
| * kristian-aalborg is gone for 25 mins | 18:40 | |
| komputes | Major regression on Toshiba Satellite T215D - 2.6.32 Lucid kernel works, 2.6.35-27 Maverick only shows a blinking cursor when booting. | 18:54 | 
| jjohansen | komputes: can you open a bug | 19:00 | 
| komputes | jjohansen: will do, just wondering if anyones heard about an existing issue with 2.6.35-27 | 19:09 | 
| jjohansen | komputes: I remember their were issues during development, but I am not aware of any in maverick atm. Thats not to say there aren't some or even that there aren't open bugs just not ones I am aware of | 19:11 | 
| BenC | komputes: is it the same if you boot without quiet on the kernel command line? | 19:24 | 
| komputes | BenC: I can have them try that, any other recommendation/tips are helpful. | 19:25 | 
| BenC | komputes: I might have some more beyond that suggestion | 19:25 | 
| komputes | BenC: do you need to know what the last few lines are before suggesting further actions/troubleshooting | 19:26 | 
| BenC | yeah | 19:26 | 
| komputes | k, thx | 19:26 | 
| BenC | Hopefully it wont still be an empty flashing cursor :) | 19:26 | 
| komputes | fingers crossed | 19:26 | 
| kristian-aalborg | can I have a progress bar or something when building the kernel? | 19:50 | 
| tim | hi, is it possible to build the linux_tools package with make-kpkg? | 20:16 |
