* smb decides that having a cup of coffee standing in front of him probably is not enough...07:32
apwinfinity, what was the arch name in debian for arm64 in the end07:40
smbaaaarch64?07:41
apwsmb, dunno, dileks was just pointing out the kernel looks to be changing to arm6407:44
smbjust being more than an hour ago but yeah07:45
smbthey probably got too many puns for the other name07:45
apwindeed almost exactly two apparenly ...07:46
* apw bets this means we end up with the same issues with name07:46
apwbetween debian and the kernel again ... sigh07:47
smbWhy should they deserve a better fate than amd64/x86_6407:48
* smb still feels more tired than before going to sleep...07:49
infinityapw: arm64.07:52
infinityapw: aarch64 is just the GNU triplet, the dpkg arch is arm64.07:52
infinityapw: You can thank me for that sanity. :P07:53
apwheh so we managed to get them inconsistenat anyhow07:53
apwthanks :)07:53
infinityapw: Yeah, people whined about the triplet/dpkg inconsistency, and I don't care.07:54
infinityapw: Making the triplet something that isn't arm* means that the tons of tools out there that assume arm* = aarch32 won't explode.07:54
apwhaving most of an arch name be arch is pretty uselss as its effectivly a6407:54
apwwhich is pretty greedy namespace wise07:55
infinityapw: Yeahp, but whatever.  Not my concern.  Anything !arm* is fine by me. :P07:55
infinityapw: Maybe someone will talk ARM into renaming the GNU triplet, but I'm kinda hoping not, as it will mean redoing all their toolchain patches, plus any bootstrap porting they've done.07:57
infinityapw: (Plus the above conflict, which means having to go over every single build system with a fine-toothed comb)07:58
apwinfinity, its not sounding perfect indeed08:03
dileksI looked (quickly) over a bit that arm64/aarch64 patchset, so its a bit inconsistent in usage. in terms of "port" they mostly use "arm64", in case of arch(itecture) aarch64 is used. so there should be a clear usage of terms. for linux/arch/arm64/ that is what kernel people have expected08:14
* dileks looked into ia32 below arch/ and naming of files, hmm, yes, what shall I say :-(08:14

argesapw, hello. was it you or cking that was the resident acpi expert?14:30
apwarges, that'd be cking, but he is off for a bit, whats up14:30
rtgarges, cking, but he's out for 2 weeks14:30
argesrtg, apw : ah that's what i thought.   just looking at a report regarding apci,  pad.lv/1016617     looks like it works in centos but not in ubuntu. so was wondering if getting /proc/cmdline from the other distro would make sense to compare or if I need to look at something else14:31
apwbug #101661714:32
ubot2Launchpad bug 1016617 in acpi "Dell c6220 Unable to Reboot" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/101661714:32
apwI have found that by rebooting the server via the DRAC web interface will reboot the server correctly.14:33
apwarges, ^^ any idea what that even means ?14:33
argesapw, I'm guessing its the dell server management console, but i was going to verify14:34
argesDell Remote Access Controller14:34
argesyes14:34
apwthat may involve poweing the machine off then which we know also fixes the issue14:34
apwarges, the most likely difference between centos and us is kernel version14:34
argesapw, yea i'll get the kernel version and ask to try the similar ubuntu version14:34
apwas there is an indication that nolapic works for them you might look see if there is a quirk for htat, i suspect there is14:35
argesapw, well looks like it helps with the reboot part, but not the boot up part after software reboot14:35
argesapw, yea they got it to work using 2.6.18 ... so pretty ancient14:37
* ogasawara back in 2014:39
apwyeah a million years old14:39
argeswow it was released march 201214:40
henrixfwiw, they use "2.6.18", not 2.6.18 -- its a *really* heavily patched version.14:42
argesyup14:43
henrixi had to use centos 2 years ago, and their kernel is very different from the mainline version14:43
mjg59If it's the standard Dell BIOS issue it'll also go away if you disable x2apic support14:43
apwmjg59, as in nox2apic on the kernel command line ?14:44
argesmjg59, ah. is this done via the bios?14:44
henrixi guess he meant the kernel param nox2apic14:45
henrixoh, apw had already suggested that :)14:45
ohsixwhat's an irq injection attack14:45
argeshenrix, well they tried nolacpi, but i'll suggest nox2apic14:46
argesmjg59, thanks14:46
mjg59If that works then it's a BIOS bug14:48
mjg59And it's not easy for Linux to work around it14:48

rtgapw, ogasawara: pushed 3.6-rc1 for ubuntu-r. it builds for x86en. have not boot tested yet.15:44
ogasawarartg: ack, thanks15:44
rtgback to firmware patches...15:45
* apw was looking at what was in -rc1 it looks like a huge upheaval especially in VFS we should be wary about moving there as i suspect aufs and overlyafs are going to break hideously15:46
rtgapw, aufs, overlayfs, and raid4-5 are all disabled for now15:46
apwrtg, thought they might have to be, there is some union-mounts basis going in there which will collide hideously15:47
apwogasawara, ok pushed -- pulled all the commits together so we can squish them next time round16:08
ogasawaraapw: ack16:08
rtgapw, quantal ?16:08
apwrtg yep quantal, refreshed aufs and pulled the commits together so we can clean them up and drop them easy depending16:14
jwijsalisbury: for bug 1028151, testing on 3.3 is a red herring - 3.3 doesn't have the relaxed dmi check that was cherry-picked to precise. so you're back to a situation where samsung_laptop.ko isn't loaded and can't cause havoc.16:38
