<0> all of live cds i tried give me error: Kernel Panic Not Syncing: Attemped to kill init!
<1> they're moving faster and faster :/ after one or two patches they move on to a higher version...
<2> Hello - where did 2.6.16.5 come from? I though the last version was 2.6.16.2, or?
<1> not on kernel.org...
<3> |Quinny: good to see someone else apart from myself updates the topic here. *grin*
<3> and yeah. lots of holes in the kernel being patched.. I think this is a result of the coverity scan for code flaws, and the resulting fixes
<4> I was reading the 2.6.16 changelog. Tons and tons of buffer overflow fixes
<3> Stevie: yeah. good to see in one way (yay less problems), bad to see in another (why didn't we fix them before?)
<4> Well I was just trying to see what had changed in 2.6.16
<4> specifically I was trying to figure out what this xtables thing is
<3> I'm sort of inactive at the moment because I haven't got the space to do kernel devel
<3> just got some external storage to move all this other stuff I have to, so I can actually get some h/drive space bach
<5> eww 73mb
<4> I plan to use 416 5.25" SSDD floppies to boot
<5> its all cefs fault that it's now out of date :P
<4> Why is it cef's fault?
<3> gb: don't blame me! |Quinny changed the topic, and I didn't release the .5 release!
<5> Stevie: Who else should I blame? You?
<4> No
<3> Stevie: he's just poking fun and being a pain in the rear. *grin*
<4> wait, .5 is out already? didn't .4 come out *yesterday* ?
<3> yup
<4> gb: If a devmapper bugfix release comes out, then you can blame me
<6> steeeevie!
<6> my name is steve too
<5> Stevie: nah I blame whoever I feel like, I dont need a reason :)
<3> Stevie: I know someone who was having problems specifically with lvm and ext3. wouldn't happen with any other fs.
<5> cef: Which version?
<4> Does the combination of these two things make anyone else nervous?
<5> or was it just user error as per usual?
<4> 1. lvm2's tools check a returned value called 'open_count'.
<4> and alter their behavior accordingly
<4> 2. the code that sets open_count in the kernel has a comment that says "this isn't correct, but it's helpful for debugging"
<3> gb: recent I think.. Just bringing it up cos you never know, it might be related
<3> Stevie: oh fun!
<3> ok, off to work now
<5> Stevie: nah I stopped using lvm when it trashed an ftp servers main disk when the index drive failed
<3> only an hour late)
<4> gb: Yeah, lvm doesn't seem all that robust. you need backups (and probably some raid)
<5> Stevie: better yet don't use it at all :)
<4> well yeah
<4> but that's not the point of this
<6> lol im compiling modules for stuff I don't even have
<6> just in case i decide to blow some money on hardware :)
<4> yeah. I'm compiling in ppp support for a kernel that will never ever see a modem
<6> that ham radio stuff looks neat
<5> Why would that require a LamerOnline mating call?
<4> Times like this I wouldn't mind picking up an opteron board for some heavy duty SMP compiling action
<5> Stevie: nah just collect enough pc's too chuck distcc onto
<5> spread the compile load :)
<5> if you get the same number of pc's as lines of code the compile should be fairly quick :)
<7> Suppose i change the code in just the crypto direcotry of the kernel then would a make in crypto dir suffice to check whether the code is compiling or not?
<4> gb: haha
<4> A-HA
<8> great band
<5> Stevie: seriously kernel development would be much quicker if everyone installed distcc setup for the developers too utilise worldwise :)
<5> mind you if kernel releases are happenning in under 24hours now, imagine what it would be like
<4> hehe
<4> meh
<9> then, your patch wouldn't apply cleanly at the time you're submitting it
<4> lol
<4> By the time you've downloaded and run patch, your tree's out of date already :D
<4> So now I've got a bit of a puzzler to solve
<4> I hate design flaws; they're so much harder to fix than regular bugs >:(
<6> gb the ham guys launched a satallite into outter space!
<5> umm not quite
<5> true there are items that were released into orbit fr ham entusiasts, but that hardly relates too them launching satellites
<5> like the old cosmonaut suit
<10> Hi - so I'm running 2.6.8-3 (pre-compiled debian) and I have a hardware RAID card Promise FastTrack TX2000 - I see it listed in dmesg yet I'm not sure what to use in my fstab (in terms of /dev/XXXXX) to access the raid - how do I go about finding out ?
<6> how do you generally get an object in outter space without launching it?
<4> uhm
<4> label its current location as 'outer space'
<6> sattelite->location = 'outter space';
<10> I have a promise FastTrack Tx2000 (hardware RAID) installed on my system - I used to access it via /dev/ataraid/d0p1 using 2.4.27 (someone else compiled the kernel) now I upgraded to 2.6.8-3 (debian pre-compile) and that /dev/ataraid doesn't seem to be recognized. lsmod notes that 'pdc202xx_new' is loaded yet I don't seem to get the old behavior (ie. the second drive isn't getting updated with data writes, etc) -- how do I debug this and what should I use in te
<10> I've resorted to software raid (mdadm and md0) yet I'd like to know how to put that card to use (I'm guessing it would be faster with the card than without)...
<11> hi
<11> so um... given a vm_area_struct... how do I tell what parts of it are mapped into physical memory at a given time? o.O
<11> ah, there's a bit in vm_flags.... I guess the rest of this question would be more easily answered by seeing what the pagefault code /changes/ :)
<12> hi
<12> I install the kernel 2.6, When booting I had another choice for 2.6, I have error when booting: pivor_root : no such file or directory /sbin/init: 432: cannot open dev/console: no such file, Kernel panic: attempted to kill init! somebody know about
<11> so you lack a console device, which means your /dev is b0rked or not mounting.
<12> I don't know,
<12> I think no solution, because it stuck, no control!
<4> yos: wait... does it say 'cannot open dev/console' or 'cannot open /dev/console' ?
<13> hi
<13> I need a information
<13> about Bus 004 Device 002: ID 04fc:0561 Sunplus Technology Co., Ltd Flexcam 100
<13> a usb webcam
<4> so far it doesn't sound like you need any information
<4> :)
<13> X:)
<13> Stevie: ok... just believe in me: english is not my native language
<13> I need a help
<14> i need to get a wireless web cam to put outside my front door
<14> :D
<14> so i can see whether it's worth answering when people knock
<14> ;)
<4> vldmr: Actually, that was pretty clear from what you said :)
<13> Stevie: tnk u. The same to you
<5> yeah english aint my natural language either :)
<5> mine is food
<5> you give me food I understand right away :)
<13> well, I need to load the video4linux modules to work fine with webcam?
<14> anyone experiencing weirdness with usb keyboards after the kernel boots, when it drops into console when you press a key it will continue to display it e.g. press r and in the logon it will go rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr until you pull the usb keyboard cable out and put it back in after that it's ok
<14> heh
<14> wondered if anyone has experienced this problem before i look into it
<5> vldmr: depends on the cam
<5> some require v4linux, others are still shots n require other drivers
<13> gb: ok
<13> I have a lsusb item showed here:
<13> Bus 004 Device 002: ID 04fc:0561 Sunplus Technology Co., Ltd Flexcam 100
<5> vldmr: depending on the type of cam you have will determine the drivers you need
<5> yes repasting it wont help you need too use a search engine :P
<13> hummM!
<13> ok
<5> vldmr: that diesn't generally help unless you have the appropriate module for usb too plugin
<5> soesn't too
<5> arrgh
<10> Everything I've read so far notes that 2.6.x supports Promise FastTrack - yet what do I need to do to get it working ? Can't seem to find info on that - any ideas ?
<5> nadim: percusive maintenance with a 10lb sledgehammer
<5> that'l fix it
<13> gb: I got a module
<13> but I need to test it now
<13> have anyone kopete?
<13> gb: hi !
<13> have anyone here a msn-type to test webcam module?
<13> kopete?
<15> hi folx
<5> usn: nope. not I
<16> Hi, I need to send an IPC msg from the kernel, possible??
<16> a ipc msg from kernel to a process in user space?
<5> pllpll: Anything is possible
<16> cooool dude
<5> whether it's practical too go shoving in code that might screwup the kernel is another issue entirely
<16> any kernel function to do that?
<16> or do I need to hack something?
<16> any kmsgsnd?
<5> Why does it need too be in the kernel?
<16> I can't find anything
<5> why not use a userspace app?
<16> because it is in a device driver
<16> do you think I luuvv programming in the kernel?
<16> no I have to
