<0> hey, anyone know how i can invoke IPMI's power off if i dont have procfs available?
<1> hmm
<1> dunno about the impi
<1> the sys has a interface to cpu_freq
<0> chn, how can i use cpu_freq though
<0> for some reason when i do ipmitool ch***is power off, my machine power offs abruptly.. and i see none of the ipmi_poweroff module's functions are beign called
<1> hehe try /sys/devices/system/cpu/ and then some more hehe
<0> hmm..
<1> well try
<1> its easy to find
<1> but if you dont have speedstep or similar its irrelevant
<0> chn,but speedstep has nothing to do with what i want
<1> i know
<0> chn, i'm just trying to see which function is called when i do ipmi power off
<0> hehe
<0> in kernel source or something
<1> hmmm
<0> because it just turns off.. no sync, no killall, just bam! power off
<0> i'm not sure if it just directly triggers keyboard powercycle bit or something.. hmm
<1> ehhh
<1> oki ,, so its broken ??
<0> yup
<0> or somthing isn't hooked up as it should be
<0> ipmi_poweroff module has some handlers on what should happen when a power off message is got
<0> but till now i didn't get to figure how to send such a message (since i thought ipmitool ch***is power off does that, but apparently now)
<1> is it a seperate board?
<0> the ipmi hardware sits on a BMC
<0> but the driver takes care of talking to it and all that stuff afaik
<1> hmm
<1> but the driver is broken i guess
<0> yea, tahts why i'm tracing thru the source now.. looking where thsi ioctl is being processed
<0> hehe
<0> everthing seems to be issued by ipmitool through ioctl on /dev/ipmi/0
<1> hmm
<1> well if you can use ioctl you dont need proc
<2> hmmnow theres an irc client I aintseen for ages
<2> obviously it's still acrap client given the number of joins
<3> dunno if this is the right place, but i'm looking to poach someone's brain regarding pivot_root
<3> i'm trying to layer the knowledge well in my scattered brain...
<3> from what i understand... once pivot root is executed... the new root b/coms for all intents and purposes the root file system,
<3> i also pick up from google searches that infact, if you boot via in initrd img, after running linuxrc, the kernel does a pivot root to the filesystem that is mounted via your root=foobar parameter
<3> my question now is... what happens if you specify a root=foobar param at kernel boot time, and you're booting via initrd, then in your linuxrc, you do a pivot_root to yet another filesystem...
<3> ?
<3> from what i've seen so far... the kernel seems to still want to mount its specified root...
<3> what then can be done to totally hijack this process?
<3> any pointers will be totally appreciated
<2> essiene: pivotroot is a bad hack in my opinion, I'm not sure what you are after exactly
<2> there are moves afoot too remove it & make a virtual fs similar too pivot root where by init starts from the virtual fs& / can be changed whenever you want, but I'm uncertain how far away this actually is
<2> in theory this would allow you too run multiple /'s simultaneously in a similar way too uml
<4> hi all
<4> can someone gimme a explanation
<4> why is it that if i transfer file to my vsftpd server the memory usages is almost 100% consumed
<4> even if it is on the idle mode
<5> gb: TheBonsai dude :)
<6> Hi There
<2> no
<2> he's down the corridor with all the other druggies
<6> I Have some problem in Telnet
<6> can anybody help me
<7> depends
<6> I am getting error
<6> "telnetlogin no such file or dir"
<7> is there a /bin/login?
<6> what is this telnetlogin
<6> the serveice is ther in my PC when i try to login through other machine
<6> through telnet it gives this error
<6> i checked /bin/login is there
<5> sync aXp :)
<8> heho _RADIOhead
<5> :0 aXp how things dude
<8> fine, a little overloaded but fine, you?>
<9> hi all
<5> fine still nervouse from last night , my team arsenal lost game
<5> :)
<8> ;)
<8> 2:1
<10> yeh cheating refs
<10> it was 14vs10
<5> yah
<5> and arsenal have just 10 foo
<10> yes
<5> refs ****s :) he give red for leman :( damn
<5> KGB_Spook: arrest gb :)
<11> can something be done against the "CPU0: Running in modulated clock mode"-problem?
<11> my cpu really isn't getting too hot
<11> I guess the treshold is set to low, can I set i higher?
<12> where can i find a list of unsupported devices for linux?
<8> eidus, afaik ther is no list of unsupported devices! there is one for supported devices ;) (HCL) funny question
<8> hi r4y
<12> yes i know , i looking for unsupported device for writing driver for it ( for practicing.. )
<8> the best way is to get a supported device, try to write the driver for it and than compare it with the already implemented driver!
<13> sers axp
<8> try to do some lirc things or similar, if hardware is unsupported it's for a good cause!
<8> 1.) it's to new and none cared about it
<8> 2.) no documentation at all and there need to be done a lot of reverse engineering
<11> can something be done against the "CPU0: Running in modulated clock mode"-problem?
<12> axp:for what kind of hardware you recommend writing a driver?
<8> for well known hardware! e.g.: NO graphic cards
<8> you can try to rewrite a driver for the rtl8129 an old pci nic, it's well known and should therefore be "easy" to do
<8> depending on what your going to do afterwards!
<12> hrmm i see
<14> yo shay
<15> phax`, how's going?
<16> I'm getting a machine crash/reboot and it's not leaving much info behind as to why/how it crashed... what kind of dbug should I turn on and where?
<16> I'm running 2.6.16.7 on a quad-opteron box in 32 bit mode
<16> and the crash seems related to disk usage on the 3ware-9550-SX2 controller
<16> (which has 24 250GB disks attached)
<16> there were some 3ware fixes in 2.6.16.12, so I'm building 2.6.16.16 and hoping that will fix it.
<16> nope, still reboots
<1> damn
<1> all that hardware and no fun
<1> whats does the log say
<7> yeah, hardware ****s
<7> let's not use hardware, let's use software instead
<1> hmm
<1> really its all about software
<1> hardware is a nessesary evil
<7> no, screw hardware
<1> and since it needs to work people need to get quality in order for its existance to be transparent
<9> I need to disagree....There's no such feeling than having your own piece of hardware running for the first time....
<7> pure software computers will be so much better
<1> not really
<1> then we would see even more ****
<1> the good thing about hardware solutions is that theyre harder to patch once sent to market
<1> so companies have to make it better in the first round
<9> The thing with hardware...you are forced to do it right....you cannot hack it into existence.....
<1> HJBIII, well in the long run hardware is just a mean to run software
<1> having a nice box is about stability not showing off
<1> that wont give you much in the long run anyway
<9> unfortunately you are right....and after 6 months your hardware is old and useless....:)
<1> not useless
<1> just old
<9> lol
<1> unless you play a lot of games hardware can live long
<7> we need to build boxes without a piece of hardware in them
<1> whats the box for then
<7> just screw hardware
<1> why have a box
<9> balrog-kun, seems like you had one too many boxes going up in smoke...
<7> -_-
<1> i still use a lot of outside machine to work on even if i have a fine little machine park of my own
<16> chn: what log should I be looiking at?
<1> well the system log
<1> if the raid tools you use have one for the controller see that also
<16> chn: syslog just gets restarted, it does't show anything
<7> actually forget the box
<16> hrm, I don't have any raid tools for the 3wares, I always just set them up from the console
<16> what tools do they use?
<1> dunno
<1> i seemed to remeber they had one
