<0> BTW, WindowsXP is horribly retarded about UTC/GMT. I strongly recommend no one do that.
<1> picked that nibble out of Tanenbaum's Minix book
<1> what's all this about XP and UTC?
<2> Do I need the RAID transport cl*** support in order to use a hardware raid, or is that just for sw raid
<2> ?
<3> id say sw, but you might want a second opinion, since hardware raid should just emulate one hdd
<0> infi: Doh, nevermind that was ignacio who told me about that
<2> Well, the situation is that I'm upgrading from 2.6.13 to 2.6.16.16... Megaraid support is enabled in both, only the new kernel gets a kernel panic...
<0> Just as well... telling Windows to keep the hardware clock in UTC/GMT works even *less* well than it did with NT 4
<3> horror_vacui: you using same conf?
<2> ...and the Raid cl*** is the only thing differing (having been not present in the 2.6.13)
<0> horror_vacui: This is just a guess, but did you upgrade udev? I think the minimum requirement changed
<2> bobbens: Yes, I used the same conf, albeit re-fashioned due to the netfilter rewrite... The rest, including device driver support, is the same.
<2> Dagmar: Woopsy, that's a Debian stable, I'll have to check on that....
<3> debian stable might have problems with newer kernels
<2> ...although, Just before that I successfully installed a 2.6.16.16 running the same debian version...
<3> latest is 2.6.8 on sarge, you are going quite a ways with .16
<2> bobbens: Yes, one might well say that... Worked until now, though...
<3> anything you need in the .16 that .8 doesnt have?
<2> ...guess we was lucky...
<3> well problem is that its unpredictable
<3> if you want newer kernels use etch at least
<2> bobbens: A reliably working recent netfilter module - according what I googled out, it has been broken until 2.6.14...
<2> bobbens: Etch is a non-option, this being a server in production environment...
<3> well you can just try playing around with it, might want to try out the .14 first. But i doubt anyone can really tell you what will be able to work
<3> iirc i got a .15 working on a sarge system when doing upgrade to sid
<3> this is probably more debian specific though
<2> bobbens: Well, for the moment I'm hoping that the RAID transport cl*** support enabled will bring the 2.6.16.16 to work...
<2> I'll have to check the udev version as well, as suggested by Dagmar...
<4> I have problems with loaded USB modules. EHCI, OHCI and UHCI is loaded simutaneous by hotplug. Then, when I insert the pendrive and mount it, I get a message talking: "mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device". Then I revome the EHCI module with rmmod, then I get mount the pendrive. It's corect I definitively remove this module ?
<5> i compiled my kernel-2.6 but my system is slow
<5> some suggestions?
<6> hello
<6> I hope this is the right place to ask:
<6> I have an usb modem working with the ueagle driver
<6> but I get some errors at boot time
<6> errors complaining an Error -2 in DSPep.bin
<6> maybe it's because the partition where DSPep.bin resides is mounted after these error messages?
<7> oops manglefreuzer rather
<1> I swear, are people getting dumber and lazier as the days go by, or is it just me?
<1> s/me/my perception/
<7> no only you are getting dumber & lazier :P
<1> I think so :|
<1> I just saw a guy go:
<1> <somenick> what is it with you guys and books?
<1> <somenick> no i mean u can learn c from a webpage tutorial
<3> while we are talking about stupid things why dont we play "cat /dev/urandom" and see how long it takes us to get a full copy of hamlet?
<1> I still blame Sams Publishing for singlehandedly convincing the world that you can "Learn 'X' in (21 days|7 days|24 hours|10 minutes)", where X is a large-scale, complicated system or an entire programming language.
<1> bah, urandom is for pansies. I use my EFNet warez-channel random entropy generation bot :)
<3> "random entropy generation bot"? how you get around to that? Is it as fancy as RNG?
<1> I'm still tuning the algorithm, but my coverage is complete, and my standard deviation is only about 20% higher than /dev/urandom over several megs of data :)
<3> bah, you want entropy? just get one of those radiation generation modules and use it as seed
<1> it takes and hashes conversations in 5 warez channels on efnet, dropping consecutive lines from the same nick, hashes them against the time and the previous nick, compresses it with Zlib, runs the Bell Test (to get a better spread between 0 and 1 bits), and then keeps it in a running circular buffer.
<3> s/generation/receptor/
<1> yeah, but this was more fun ;)
<3> sounds pretty fancy :)
<1> I found a quantum card the other day that was used for PRNG seeding, too.
<1> generated a heck of alot more data than I can, my bot only gives about 600k/day :|
<3> i play alot of nethack so i have a love/hate relationship with RNG
<1> yeah, I can see that
<3> 600k/day heh, why did you pick warez channels? more randomness there? incoherent sentences? makes them actually "useful"?
<1> the last ;)
<3> thought so :P
<3> must have been fun
<1> I had a previous revision a few years ago that used #teenchat, #teen***, et al., but those channels have all died or been juped
<1> that was more fun, but my algorithm wasn't quite so hot, and it tripped up on the incessant AOLbonics ("zomgkthxwtfbbq")
<1> I'm pretty happy with the byte coverage here, but it still seems to pile on the powers of 2 for some reason :|
<1> i.e. bytes with ascii 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 all have slightly higher "hit rate" than the others.
<3> those are nice projects for practicing and such
<3> and of course, showing off
<7> oh no #kernel has been taken over by entropy bots
<3> and bad isp hosts :(
<8> Why do I have all these devices in /dev when udev is running? I should only have the devices that are connected to or are part of the box right?
<9> hello
<10> hi
<9> i build my own kernel but when it triest to boot i get a kernel panic
<9> i have all the ext3 stuff build in
<7> no the druggies are further down the corridoor on the right
<9> the panic is "kernel panic -not syncing : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,4)
<9> i can put my kernel config up
<7> redphoenix1: you need more then the fs type
<3> you need your ide controller card builtin and such
<7> you also need the device drivers
<3> or use an initial raid disk
<7> nah bugger using initrd
<7> do the job properly
<3> heh
<3> im still using initrd on my laptop :)
<9> idk my friend who builds his own kernel every day said i had everything already and he does not know why it wont boot
<7> its ram disk by the wayh not raid disk :P
<3> technically the new kernel i was compiling should have it but it didnt finish
<3> gb: you know what i meant
<3> lack of sleep, lack of coffee and especiall lack of attention
<7> bobbens: but they might not
<3> true :)
<7> same make me a coffee n pizza :P
<3> redphoenix1: well if hes such an expert ask him. This problem corresponds to not having ide controller and ide drivers built in
<7> redphoenix1: usually user error
<9> yea he was going to look at my kernel config last night but his brian was fried and he is not on right now
<7> try some pmt on the user
<9> the config worked fine before tho
<9> i just took out framebuffer and added v4l support
<7> you didn't simply cp an old .config & use that I hope?
<9> i used the config from the mactel linux website
<7> then you need too raise it with the person who built it
<9> ok
<7> or learn how too build your own & identify your own hardware
<9> hehe
<9> i been trying
<7> if you dont then stick with your dist provided initrd images
<9> but then i cant add the patches that are needed
<7> & practice but never rely on building your own kernels too work
<9> and want
<7> then you get the best of both worlds
<7> a stable system & you learn & eventually have an optimised system
<7> tis what I do with my own kernels as I have not used stock kernels in years now
<9> yea i been trying to build my own kernels for a while
<9> i got it good on my old box
<3> stock kernels are great for getting new computers working fast
<9> but i have an intel mac mini and i dont know what i need
<3> youi dont need to know
<3> lspci tells you
<3> or hwinfo
<9> lspci does not tell me what modules i need
<11> hello all
<9> hihi stalkerg
<9> i can use lsmod
<9> but then i have to go hunting for it in the kernel
<7> redphoenix1: thats where you use a search engine with the kernel source version you have
<7> then it should tell you by matching with the docs, etc
<9> ok
<11> i am nube in english.but me need get answers for my questions. :)
<3> lspci tells you what hardware you have, and then you can figure out using menuconfig to what module it corresponds
<7> stalkerg: it matters not if you are new old or not even born yet, just type in your question
<7> wow all these russian addresses all of sudden
<12> lol
<7> mm caffiene making me sleepy :)
<11> why in 2.6.15> kernel fat32 FS work VERY slow on my flash drive(mp3 player). on other FS speed normal
<7> no lamer hunting please, try another channel
<7> because fat32 ****s
<11> i see problem in sync option and this help in 2.6.13-2.6.14
<11> i patch and add flush mode
<7> why not use msdos?
<11> i am use vfat
<7> theres no advantage too using vfat on a flash drive too my knowledge
