<0> Hi! When booting kernel 2.6.15.5 my computer hang when showing something like: BIOS-provided physical RAM map: ... then some rows with: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009fc00 (usable) .. and so on. Then on the last row, "BIOS-e280: 00000000ffff0000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)", it hangs! Why? I havent seena anything like this BIOS-provided stuff when booting my old 2.6.8 kernel...
<0> help!
<0> Anyone there?
<1> did you compile this kernel yourself?
<1> you left something out
<2> hey all i've been trying to get 2.6.15.4 running and i'm at a loss......I keep getting Kernel Panic -> not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
<2> root is suppose at /dev/hda3
<2> and my previous kernels (default one that came with ubuntu 5.10) use an initrd file, but I thought I had fs and IDE drivers compiled in......i'm not so sure now.....or maybe I'm missing something else.....i'm not sure, any ideas?
<0> balrog-kun:
<0> balrog-kun: Yes i compiled it myself...
<0> i think its got something to do with ACPI. Could that be? Do you know when changes where made to ACPI? which kernel?
<3> could somebody help me .. i have intel xeon processor, the old 2.6.11 kernel i had the 2 processor when i do cat /proc/cpuinfo but i used the same config and compiled the 2.6.15.5 .. but its keep giving me only one processor and i have enabled the smp and HT on the configuration .. does anybody know what am i missing
<4> I'm having trouble compiling linux 2.6.13.5. Everytime I try it it fails while compiling DRM. I get an error saying "gamma.h" not found, and of course, lots of other things blow up after that. Has anyone else seen that?
<2> hey all, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA or CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE weren't set would that prevent the kernel from loading the root fs on an IDE disk?
<2> *if



<5> does anyone know how to get a pid of a running program so a script can use it?... or somehow make the program create a pid when it starts
<1> hyakki: pid of a program with a given name?
<1> use "pidof"
<1> or use start-stop-daemon to run the program and it will write the pid to a file on start
<6> Not so sure about 2.6.15.5 xconfig has compiles errors and doesn't seem to boot anyway.
<1> or probably use the shell's capability to get the last pid
<6> I have a dinky scriptthat pulls the pid, but there are other commands for it. Just too lazy to look up the docs.
<5> thanks
<1> $! or something, in bash
<6> THink it is only 3-4 lines one sec
<6> Nah no script. Just do a ps -C name||grep program and awk out the pid
<6> It's a one liner
<1> pidof is for that
<6> like pid=`ps -C squid|awk '{print $4}'`
<6> yep that too.
<6> Same this
<6> thanks. I knew there was one but could not recall it.
<6> LOL thousands of programs installed and maybe recall 10% of them.
<1> heh
<1> you don't deserve all of them :p
<6> Yep especially when I didn't pay for any of them.
<6> ended up writing my own killprog before I found out there was a killall.
<6> Had always just ***umed killall nuked any leftovers during a shutdown.
<6> anymore would require RTFM and not into that.
<7> in the 2.6.x kernel, is there a way to enable the framebuffer similar to vga=foo, without rebooting? an option in /proc or /sys to change?
<7> I can't seem to find any documentation that suggests this is possible
<1> if you insert a module with the framebuffer driver and give it the right option, the console will switch to it
<1> unfortunately you won't be able to rmmod the module later
<8> Evolution: look at the fbset tool. that might help you
<2> hey all, some progress on compiling my kernel....now i'm getting: Ext3-fs cannot read superblock....kernel panic..........is there some other module i've forgotten to compile in with the kernel?? thanx
<6> Which kernel?
<7> cef: excellent, thanks
<2> 2.6.15.4
<9> AngryElf: i dunno, but what about google the problem?
<2> googled it to death
<2> it keeps reverting back to something to do with pxeboot......network booting?? not my concern
<6> K AngryElf. Just wondering, because I had bad problems with 2.6.15.5 Think I'll skip that one.
<6> I don't use Ext3 anyway.
<10> Hi, I'm compiling ndiswrappert when I get a warning about CONFIG_4KSTACKS is enabled. I see my kernel config and I don't found this option. Where it is?
<5> anyone know how to make a script wait for the command to finnish before moving on?
<11> why is it all these people have too buy crap hardware that needs ndis wrapper too work?
<12> I have a weird question. Is it possible to include ndiswrapper in a kernel compile (and possibly the drivers as well, i know its dumb sounding but it may solve a problem for me (want to install gentoo with wireless))
<13> fs/nfs/direct.c:127: error: conflicting types for 'nfs_free_user_pages' ...Has anybody got this error while compiling kernel-2.6.15.5.
<12> check your nfs section of config
<12> anyone can answer my question?

<13> i checked config, but was not able to find the solution.. i am a newbie. the compilation error and config is pasted here http://pastebin.com/581683 .. please help
<16> hi, I have this problem, I made a web interface to shutdown a remote host
<16> it stops all the services but it doesn't turn off
<16> I was told it could be a kernel thing, could anyone help me? I'm a little disoriented
<17> apm, acpi in the kernel? AT or ATX motherboard?!
<16> ATX I think
<17> what hapens if you issue the "poweroff" command at a prompt?
<16> so far I've tried a $ shutdown -ah now
<16> it stops all the services bit it doesn't turn off the pc



<17> do you have physical access to the machine?
<16> as it is a server, I can't work with it at anytime
<16> yes, but it has no monitor
<17> msg me the dmesg output of the machine plz
<16> I don't have it now, but if I'm SSHing when it broadcasts that the system is going down for shutdown
<17> stock kernel? which hardware?
<16> then it disconnects me
<16> so far so good
<16> I try to access the services like ssh or apache but they are down
<17> no wonder if the system is halted
<16> but the power is still on
<16> running a "poweroff -f" would do?
<17> if it is ATX-Hardware and has at least APM capabilities yes
<17> which distribution?
<16> Debian
<17> ver?
<16> Woody
<17> -p When halting the system, switch off the power. This is the
<17> default when halt is called as poweroff.
<17> -f does not switch off the power
<16> -f forces
<16> -f Force halt or reboot
<17> a plain poweroff should do the trick, but try to load some APM or acpi modules (depending on your hardware)
<17> halting the system may keep the PSU turned on!
<17> which processor?
<16> acpi is for AT mothers?
<16> I don't know, I'll check all that info today
<16> please tell me what you need to know and I'll check
<17> no, AT mothers are _not_ capable of turning theirselves off! they have a real powerswitch (like the light switch in your room)
<11> eah the type I prefer
<16> ah, I see
<11> these soft power atx psu's ****
<17> gb, don't think so, since atx it is possible to wake you machine up via a cellular phone! ;)
<11> aXp: pretty pointless if you dont have a phone or your machine is nowhere near a facility that you can use too wake it with a phone
<17> TuxAtWork, but if it is at least a Pentium II iam rather sure you are having an ATX PSU, try to load ACPI-Modules or APM
<17> gb, sure, but you don't really have any disadvantages compared to AT, furthermore you still can wake it up via Network ;)
<16> what's the difference between them?
<11> aXp: there are stacks of disadavantages too having an atx supply
<11> like it not recovering after an extended power out
<11> like the soft off not working & you reverting too pull the plug too make it work
<17> http://www.techspot.com/vb/all/windows/t-2868-ACPI--vs--APM-.html
<11> everything is fine when it functions as it should, but most of the hardware I get is received by me because it was not functioning as it should
<17> get real hw
<11> aXp: are you volunteering funds for me too get real hardware :P
<17> ;)
<11> aXp: besides my hardware hardly ever gets powered off so why do I need some crappy atx supply :)
<17> anyway since ATX is a well established standard, i hardly think you're getting state of the art hw with an at powersupply
<11> no I use neither at present
<17> hydrogen powered systems?
<11> I wish
<11> 18volt dc unfortunately the one 12volt dc compaq I had got flogged
<17> dc/dc converter?
<11> yeah pretty crappy one
<11> stupid thing is the internal battery is 12volts
<11> but it is sufficing for my needs just
<11> only up for 50days at moment
<17> converting dc volatges to higher/negative/splitted voltage is a really complex task
<18> sync gb
<18> :)
<11> not really, just highly inefficient
<18> damn my head :)
<17> _RADIOhead, hi
<18> ooooooooooooooooooo aXp dude
<18> u around today :)
<18> Jack-Bauer, TheBonsai people
<18> :):
<11> no he's atriangle today :)
<18> gb, :) sinusoid:)
<11> _RADIOhead: you wait till I get too an online dictionary :)
<18> :P
<18> gb, any idea where can i find a irc server or a channel for ibm AS400 servers ,
