<0> thx
<1> Hi. I am trying to kompile the 2.6.15.4 kernel. I got a question "Physical address where the kernel is loaded (PHYSICAL_START) [0x100000] (NEW) 0x100000" while trying to configure the kernel. what should I answer here?
<2> hi. Simple question. Can someone help me understand why the kernel makes a distinction between {u,s}{8,16,32,64} data types and __{u,s}{8,16,32,64}?
<2> From include/asm/types.h it seems to have something to do with name conflicts, but I'm not sure I understand clearly.
<2> why doesn't the kernel internally just use the same types that are exported to the user?
<3> salah, kernel should be loaded behind 1Mb of physical memory
<3> salah, you can change this value, but memory, that less then 1Mb is used for GDT,IDT and so on
<3> *than
<3> you can change this value on more than 1Mb
<3> if you need it :)
<3> hm....it's very interesting options....in 2.6.10 there is no such possibility
<3> may be it's usefull for 64-bit systems
<1> hmm
<1> this is some advanced for me since it's first time im upgrading a new kernel :)
<4> anyone know if "Realtek ALC658" driver exists, for the kernel? It's audio
<4> i didnt find any realtek in the config



<4> where do i find devfs in the menuconfig?
<4> oh *udev
<2> Drakas: just checking if you're using the "/" search feature of Menuconfig.
<4> whats that?
<4> i am a noob in kernel stuff, all i know is hto to compile and setup
<4> ok, says no matches found for udev
<4> i have got 2.6.15.3
<4> wait, you have got to install udev ?
<4> agh sorry
<4> :/
<2> Drakas: devfs is obsolete.
<2> Yeah. udev is user-space.
<4> ok. In gentoo manual it says to select [*] Support for hot-pluggable devices
<4> but in mnenu config instead of [ ], it's ---
<4> is it already selected then or not
<5> Drakas: grep dev .config
<4> well
<4> i got a list
<4> heh already compiling
<4> thanks:)
<4> i was confused about devfs and udev
<4> *forgot whch one is a good one*
<5> thats why I said grep dev :)
<4> gb there was no devfs:D
<5> if either were in there they'd show up
<4> i looked in gentoo mnanual it said to unselect /devfs in pseudo
<4> there wasnt any :D
<4> die /devfs :D
<5> devfs works for me :P
<5> mind you good reason it should too /exec -o uname -a
<5> arrgh
<5> Linux bob 2.4.18 #7 Sat Aug 13 10:00:06 WST 2005 i586 GNU/Linux
<5> no not even 32 :)
<4> :)
<5> every other version I've tried on this particular hardware hangs at boot
<4> why do some people choose 2.4 instead of 2.6 ? how is older version better? more stable?
<4> gb wow strange
<5> no idea why, but it works :)
<5> uptime is good
<5> 01:21:56 up 31 days, 8:28, 25 users, load average: 0.15, 0.06, 0.01
<5> for a notebook
<4> [o][O]
<4> you are going to kill your laptop
<4> whats the specs?
<4> low load though :)
<5> gets an hour each day on its own battery bout 12 hours off deep cycle rest off solar
<4> kewl:0
<5> just this irssi session basically
<5> occ***ionally mutt
<5> fetchmail -d 600
<4> took 7 minutes to compile very nice :)
<5> Drakas: what did?
<5> Drakas: if I try & run x load average exceeds 13
<5> same deal with compiling kernels on it
<4> uh
<5> only has 15meg ram
<5> oops 16 rather
<5> got 128meg for it, but its in use in another notebook waiting for 512meg
<5> donations of ram are few & far between
<4> :/
<4> whats the specs?



<5> 132mmx
<4> freaking hell
<4> not bad for linux though :)
<5> what more do you need for email & irc?
<4> i am imagining running win95 on it:DD
<4> wait, still am
<4> after five hours, oh yes , just booted up
<5> nah I dont do me$$yd0$
<4> ugh that ugly error
<4> "bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing." << what should i do
<5> I have done freedos on this though
<5> in dosemu
<4> it always happens to ALL bz2 files
<5> didnt much like it
<4> "bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing." << what should i do? it always happens to ALL bz2 files . I had tried two different networks and much more different servers. Happens on no matter what package i use
<5> ahh yes you need some percussive maintenance with my 10lb sledge
<5> ram?
<5> disk soace?
<5> oops space rather
<4> no
<4> :D
<4> its 80GB
<4> and jnust formatted
<4> that ugly error always comes up
<5> doesn't stop it from being full :)
<4> thats why i downloaded .gz linux kernel
<4> gb hwo do i check then?
<4> :)
<5> df
<4> i download biggest .tar.gz files and they extract successfully
<4> but when i get bz2 it _ALWAYS_ happens
<4> /dev/ROOT 75943008 1386704 70698592 2% /
<4> ok?:)
<5> I had it once but cant remember what the issue was
<5> wot bzip2 version?
<5> perhaps the binary got corrupted sumhow
<4> http://pastebin.com/549972
<4> gb : even checking md5 sum ?
<5> no good for me here, too painful to cut n paste
<4> bzip2, a block-sorting file compressor. Version 1.0.3, 15-Feb-2005.
<5> why do you think I use /exec -o all the time :)
<5> hmm
<5> hmm I'm running 1.02 here
<4> :] im using emerge tool if anything
<5> i'll check the sid box
<4> "*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x08221a50 ***"
<5> ahh yeah thats 1.0.3
<5> definitely caffiene time
<4> huh?
<4> **why, am i always getting segmenatiotn faults?-**
<4> crazy, just installed bzip2 without problems :))) thats so freaking stragnge
<4> now failed
<4> ..it happens in different places all the time
<5> Drakas: try a different kernel
<5> as in boot into a different kernel & see if its vm related
<5> if gzip works in theory there should be no difference
<4> gb : gzip is working
<4> bunzip isnt
<5> yes I'm aware of that which makes it strange
<4> how can i see what kernel i have currently loaded?
<5> uname -a
<4> Linux livecd 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 #1 SMP Fri Nov 4 19:25:01 UTC 2005 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
<4> ok, the thing is that the glibc compiler is also giving crabs to my face
<4> or gcc
<4> random error somewhere in the code
<4> once in testf function, otherwise in main or any other
<4> :)) although the kernel compiled well
<5> yup, could be a kernel option or even some bad ram
<4> no errors
<4> **** ram :/
<4> ill doa memtest
<5> although bad ram should screw up with gzip too
<5> does dmesg show a foof bug or anything else you can patch around?
<4> hang on
