[00:05] failing commit is b7bd182 [00:05] cfo, you said you wanted to know :-) === rtdos is now known as z80 [00:17] only it doesnt make sense so far... === z80 is now known as retrodos === jjohansen is now known as jj-afk === shadeslayer_ is now known as shadeslayer === _LibertyZero is now known as LibertyZero [08:31] Hi, I just need to write a line of code in privileged mode. Is there any way doing this than writing a device driver? === smb` is now known as smb [08:36] fairuz: well a module, or modifying the kernel directly === jj-afk is now known as jjohansen [08:36] jj-afk: module == device driver, thats what i'm trying to avoid [08:37] since i just want to write 1 line of code [08:39] fairuz: does it need to be permanent [08:39] nope [08:39] just for one time run [08:41] jjohansen: any idea on this? some system call or something [08:42] ksplice [08:46] never heard of those === ogra_ is now known as ogra === sforshee is now known as sforshee-afk [10:15] smb where did we get to with bug #539467 [10:16] Launchpad bug 539467 in linux "SATA link power management causes disk errors and corruption" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/539467 [10:17] 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] medium is ok but I did not get to send a reply for that [10:46] hi, can i ioremap a same physical addr several times? or it it's not possible :) [10:55] fairuz: maybe it would be platform dependent, the value returned isn't guarenteed to even be virtually mapped === sforshee-afk is now known as sforshee [11:07] off_t fwts_ebda_get(void) [11:07] { [11:07] uint16_t *ebda; [11:07] off_t ebda_addr; [11:07] if ((ebda = fwts_mmap((off_t)EBDA_OFFSET, sizeof(uint16_t))) == FWTS_MAP_FAILED) { [11:07] return FWTS_NO_EBDA; [11:07] } [11:08] ebda_addr = ((off_t)*ebda) << 4; [11:08] (void)fwts_munmap(ebda, sizeof(uint16_t)); [11:08] return ebda_addr; [11:08] } [11:09] fwts spam [12:14] cking, didn't you discover an msr that gives the firmware version? [12:14] sforshee, I didn't get around to checking it out on various platforms I have here. [12:15] it's on my list of things to poke at [12:15] do you happen to have the msr number handy? [12:16] not off the top of my head [12:16] i guess you found it in the bios bits code? [12:17] nope, in section 28.4 vol 3b of the IA-32 arch docs [12:18] okay, i'll take a look, thanks [12:18] * cking hopes he recalled the section correctly, it was 2 days ago [12:19] sforshee, how come - you want to check the f/w version? [12:19] I mean microcode version [12:20] http://mvogt.wordpress.com/2011/03/10/apt-btrfs-snapshot/ - nice [12:22] cking, wondering if a machine with a C-state hang could be due to old microcode [12:22] buggy old microcode, that is [12:24] who knows, worth a try [13:57] 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 [13:59] smb, the mvl-dove branch in Lucid? [14:00] smb, ah, forgot to push [14:00] apw, Tejun sent some patch to try out for bug 539467. Currently building natty based test kernels and then update the bug [14:00] Launchpad bug 539467 in linux "SATA link power management causes disk errors and corruption" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/539467 [14:00] tgardner, Ok, makes sense then. Btw, then you have to apply to maverick-mvl-dove as well as that wont propagate on rebase [14:01] smb, the Maverick branch is actually copied from Lucid. [14:01] IIRC === diwic is now known as diwic_afk [14:02] tgardner, Hm, maybe I confure mlv with fsl then. One of them we rebased on an older release. [14:02] confuse even [14:03] smb, Maverick uses debian.lucid-mvl-dove/etc/update-from-lucid-mvl-dove [14:03] tgardner, Ah, ok. Ignore me then [14:03] smb, I ignore you only at my peril. [14:05] tgardner, I am mostly harmless. Anyway, I think I lost track of the all those arms a bit [14:09] smb, I have trouble keeping them straight myself. [14:10] 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 [14:38] cfo, regarding yesterday, bugfix and explanation can be found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/11/156 === bdmurray_ is now known as bdmurray [16:27] <-lunch a bit early today [16:27] bbiab [17:14] * smb -> b.o.c. [17:27] T.G.I.F. [17:28] JFo, T'is Good It's Friday? :) [17:29] heh, yep :-) === diwic_afk is now known as diwic [18:34] hi all [18:34] please have a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1703598 (about building and moving a kernel) [18:37] kristian-aalborg: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel [18:38] kristian-aalborg: that will create a .deb file you can then copy that over and install with [18:38] sudo dpkg -i linux-imageXXXXX.deb [18:39] hi jjohansen - I think I tried that and failed, but I'll try again ;) [18:39] where XXXXX is replaced by what the file is actually named [18:39] yup [18:40] can't remember what went wrong, might have been me being in a rush [18:40] * kristian-aalborg is gone for 25 mins [18:54] Major regression on Toshiba Satellite T215D - 2.6.32 Lucid kernel works, 2.6.35-27 Maverick only shows a blinking cursor when booting. [19:00] komputes: can you open a bug [19:09] jjohansen: will do, just wondering if anyones heard about an existing issue with 2.6.35-27 [19:11] 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 [19:24] komputes: is it the same if you boot without quiet on the kernel command line? [19:25] BenC: I can have them try that, any other recommendation/tips are helpful. [19:25] komputes: I might have some more beyond that suggestion [19:26] BenC: do you need to know what the last few lines are before suggesting further actions/troubleshooting [19:26] yeah [19:26] k, thx [19:26] Hopefully it wont still be an empty flashing cursor :) [19:26] fingers crossed [19:50] can I have a progress bar or something when building the kernel? [20:16] hi, is it possible to build the linux_tools package with make-kpkg? [20:46] Can anyone help with gitweb and Mantis on ububtu? === zul_ is now known as zul [21:25] JFo, add bug 715330 to your list. Kernel patch upstream identified.

I think I am going to go get some exercise. [22:29] I've done make localmodconfig, doing make menuconfig now - but I can't find APM??
