02:56 < mnemoc> btw, my last patch on submaster is for you if you can't sleep and still want to maintain 2.0 :\
02:56 < mnemoc> i have to go home now..
02:57 < mnemoc> and i'm waiting for you comments about the definition of 'distribution' :D

03:03 < rxr> I just fixed an ugly PowerPC visible STONE bug in mz private

03:04 < rxr> I do not commit into it ...

08:40 < RainbowTSC> I'm trying to install rocklinux, my first go, and I don't get a first stage boot option menu, is there some boot option I can pass to the kernel to check what's going on?
09:38 < netrunner> RainbowTSC: what version of rock? what is the last thing you see?
10:01 < RainbowTSC> 2.0.0, freeing unused kernel memory
10:02 < RainbowTSC> I got told to load 2nd_stage_small, but I tried that and I get a VFS root error...
10:06 < fake> RainbowTSC: on a 586 MMX?
10:07 < RainbowTSC> pentium 166
10:08 < fake> jep, this is known... the problem is dietlibc related
10:08 < RainbowTSC> maybe I just got the commands around backwards...
10:08 < fake> and only the bootcd is affected
10:08 < RainbowTSC> so is fine via floppies?
10:08 < fake> no, the floopies contain the same code the bootcd does ;)
10:09 < RainbowTSC> is it just 2.0.0?
10:09 < fake> the linuxrc startup script is compiled against dietlibc, which makes it require 686 on *some* machines
10:09 < fake> i have seen pentium's where it booted fine
10:12 < fake> RainbowTSC: no idea about 2.0.x, it's still present in 2.1-DEV, afaics
10:12 < RainbowTSC> ok, I have heard about rocklinux for ages, and I finally got around to put together a test machine, I love the philosophy behind it, and would love to have a play on it, any suggestions about what to do to get it installed?
10:12 < fake> RainbowTSC: is there already linux on the machine?
10:12 < RainbowTSC> slackware
10:14 < RainbowTSC> after I finish install, I put the cover back on it and it becomes a jukebox for my bedroom...
10:14 < fake> RainbowTSC: you could boot the slackware and install it over 
10:15 < RainbowTSC> how would I go about doing that?
10:16 < RainbowTSC> would I have to mount the cd as a loopback device and copy the files across?
10:16 < fake> RainbowTSC: mkdir /mnt/{target,cdrom} ; mount <cd_device> /mnt/cdrom ; cd /mnt/cdrom 
10:16 < fake> no loopback device needed
10:17 < fake> RainbowTSC cd 2.0.0-* (not the dir containing bootdisk, the other)
10:17 < RainbowTSC> yes
10:17 < fake> RainbowTSC for i in ./*.gem ; do echo "installing $i..." ; mine -i -R /mnt/target $i ; done
10:17 < fake> (you will need mine for this - you can compile it from source beforehand on you slack)
10:18 < RainbowTSC> sweet
10:18 < fake> then your new root is in /mnt/target
10:18 < fake> if you have more than one disk in it, you could mount a small spare one there, depending on how much you install
10:18 -!- valentin_ is now known as valentin
10:19 < fake> if you habe just one disk, use a static shell to move over the individual directories
10:19 < fake> like /mnt/target/bin/kiss
10:20 < fake> sorry for the mess, i just discovered this dietlibc weirdness maybe 2 days ago
10:21 < RainbowTSC> that's about when I discovered the bug, although I didn't know what it was...
10:23 < RainbowTSC> how big would a small rocklinux install need, no X or fancy stuff, just base, compile, and ssh, sound?
10:26 < RainbowTSC> I think I'll repartition the system, and mount the then old / slackware as /home...
10:28 < RainbowTSC> thanks for the help

21:39 < netrunner> re
22:13 < netrunner> what does btee do?
22:14 < netrunner> ah sshd under 2.6 works :)
22:25 < SMP> btee is a buffering tee that delays opening the output file until signalled so in the input stream
22:30 < netrunner> ah. it must be used from fsck or so. because when booting into uml I get tons of buffer full, dropped data from this btee.
22:30 < netrunner> it seems that we use an implementation from clifford.
22:31 < netrunner> my uml runs now :) it is obviously better to compile without modules.
22:34 < SMP> haha
22:35 < SMP> well, all our init scripts run under btee
22:37 < netrunner> could it be an issue that they run in a terminal? because usually fsck shows no btee errors ...

23:10 < SMP> netrunner: ehm - nope
23:11 < SMP> you usually get a btee overrun from fsck's progressbar
23:12 < netrunner> ah, could be this then.
23:13 < netrunner> some time ago I heard of a system to run fsck later in background, wouldn't that be a nice feature to have? (optional maybe)
23:15 < SMP> background fsck is an ugly hack used by BSD systems
23:16 < SMP> it's not possible on Linux and neither does it make sense
23:16 < daja77> to avoid to have real journalling?
23:16 < SMP> daja77: well, "avoid" is an extremely positive way to put it
23:16 < SMP> they just don't _have_ it
23:17 < daja77> hehe ok :)
23:17 < SMP> (well they do have softupdates, but they still think they need to do an fsck, so)
