Comments:
<0> martian67: also tried 2.6.14 and even 2.2.something
<1> same results?
<0> martian67: 2.2.x barfed too but in a more interesting way
<2> mord: ***-masters
<0> martian67: yep. but all checks on the hw run on. memtest, cpu load, irq's seem ok, even acpi works
<0> s/run on/run ok/
<0> bcml: yup
<1> mord, what about 2.6.14?
<0> martian67: i think it panics pretty much around when init starts
<0> martian67: can't mount root, proc anything
<1> does it give you any info on why proc cant mount?
<0> martian67: nope. just says can't mount
<1> lovely
<1> try looking up your labtop model
<1> in google
<0> martian67: i need to get a serial terminal somewhere
<1> use another pc
<0> martian67: the thing is, the box has worked like a dream this far (it's a acer 5002wlmi)
<0> martian67: going to
<0> martian67: but first i'm going to get decent debug over serial
<0> martian67: (if possible)
<0> martian67: it's just so weird. i've never ever encountered anything like this before
<0> martian67: (and been fiddling around with linux since the halloween release ;)
<0> martian67: but you're right. 2.6 is going to hell
<1> yep
<1> all sorts of wonderful little bugs
<1> that no one will fix
<1> because they want to work on new fetures
<1> why they got rid of stable/unstable i shall never knwo
<0> martian67: it gets more complex and more unstable every release. and building it is starting to be a real pain... oh how i miss the make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install && create_sysimg_and_install_everything.sh
<0> martian67: 2.4 was _much_ nicer
<1> hmm
<1> i can still do that with 2.6
<1> o.O
<0> martian67: i can too, mostly. but there are so many warnings i'm starting to doubt if anyone ever really checks stuff.
<3> I like make && make modules+install&& make install and it does all that for me
<3> als make install works wonders on 2.4
<0> gufymike: yes. well it should. and mostly does. but try building ext modules against a 2.6. mostly hell even though the code is all good.
<0> dep hell plus "incompatible module version"-**** even though it fscking is surely not
<0> okay, i'll take my meds now
<4> Hi guys, I'm wondering if anyone knows how to install linux on a Pix 535 (Can the PCI based Flash to be used to boot, can I boot from USB?)
<5> ugh how lame, trying to access http://mobilix.org/minipci_linux.html and it says "his site has trademark trouble with its name MobiliX and is therefore not available. Because of legal risks a redirection to the new URL isn't possible." - I bet Exxon-Mobil threatened legal action :( Same company that set a new record for profits by a US company with $10.7 billion (USD) in 4Q 2005 and $36.13 billion (USD) for the year on revenues of $371 billion (USD) :(
<1> try google
<0> i could do the redirection with our Uni machines, i doubt exxon would sue a foreign university on such shaky grounds ;)
<6> exxon mobil cant do anything about mobilix.org
<6> entirely different industry/product group
<5> headmonkey: heh
<7> while using mkinitrd i am getting error "/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: device /dev/hda1 is not a block device"
<5> headmonkey: who is causing them trademark trouble then i wonder?
<6> im gonna start a company called "Microsoft Portable Toilets" some day....its my dream
<6> "The only toilet with windows" will be my slogan
<5> headmonkey: haha nice
<5> headmonkey: Port-a-Potty will sue you then ;)
<6> nah...they dont have soft seats or windows
<5> heh
<4> anyone know of a distro sub 16MB, and uses 2.6 kernel?
<6> symantec is suing ms for misuse of its technology....imagine that
<8> so what's the best way to restore a /home directory ?
<9> check the tape
<8> destro: what tape ?
<9> the tape with your backups :)
<8> destro- : oh, that tape ....
<8> I don't have one ...
<8> when you are backing up a server, what files do you backup exactly ?
<9> everything that's critical
<8> destro-: such as ...
<9> look at it like this
<9> an os is easily reinstalled
<9> but critical files are not always easily recovered
<9> what kind of server are you running
<9> is it a webserver, db... etc
<8> indeed, I'm on ext3 so it's impossible to recover files ...
<8> destro-: LAMP ... php
<9> ok
<9> so let's say this
<8> with some bash scripts ...
<9> your entire biz is based on having a website running
<9> if your server were to die tomorrow
<8> and mail, named daemons etc...
<9> and you had no backups of any of your data
<9> would you be able to easily work the next day
<8> destro-:
<9> likely not
<8> destro-: sure I would ...
<9> ok
<9> then if that's the case
<8> mcdonalds are always hiring ;-)
<9> your life is perfect
<9> haha
<9> ok
<9> so lets say you have a dir with you websites in it
<9> /home/sites
<9> or maybe
<8> /var/www
<9> yeah
<9> so back up /var/www offsite
<9> back up your apache conf
<8> what about the whole of /etc ... ?
<9> back up a hotcopy or mysqldump of your databases
<9> /etc is easily replaced, but if you want to make your life easy, you can back that up
<9> namedb dir
<9> etc
<9> i work an in enviroment where we have clients that dont add tape backups to their service
<9> and i have seen biz's basically close shop due to disk failures
<8> so I guess /etc /var /home + databases ...
<8> that's a bummer ...
<9> are you colocating
<9> or you run your own server locally
<8> destro-: no, I have a dedicated server at my webhost ..
<9> who's yer host?
<8> layered technologies ...
<9> ah
<9> well
<9> contact them
<9> and ask them about backup services
<9> if they dont have them
<9> you have the wrong hosting company
<8> destro-: I'd love to contact them, but unfortutately without my /home file, I can't open my web browser ....
<9> your local box is ****ed?
<8> firefox is crashing an awful lot lately ... :-(
<8> destro-: yes, not my server ...
<8> tg
<9> how did you manage to do that?!
<0> babo: one word. lynx.
<9> errant rm -rf ?
<8> I don't mind pissing about on my local box ...
<9> well
<8> destro: yes, I installed a chroot and managed to do a rm /home instead of rm home ...
<9> babo, what distro are you using
<8> ubuntu ...
<9> good man
<9> ok so do this
<8> but I was getting fairly tired of the debian way to be honest ...
<9> mkdir /home
<8> destro-: I don't have bash prompt ...
<9> so drop into single user i guess
<8> Are you from England/Ireland by any chance ... ?
<9> nope
<9> good ol' us of a
<8> oh, ok ...
<8> so go into single user mode then ...
<9> recreate the /home
<9> userdel the user
<9> then readd your user
<9> give that user sudo access
<9> pray
<10> hi all
<8> hmmm ...
<8> do you think doing an alias rm `mv /root/trash` or something like that might be a good idea ... ?
<8> foxpaul: hi
