23:18.15sjhillheh
23:19.23sjhillmental note, 2.6.12-rc5 sucks
23:19.31sjhillman, the kernel releases are sucking more and more
23:19.51sjhillfirst, i would kick RMK in the nuts
23:20.02[g2]hey prpplague !
23:20.04sjhillthat would help things a lot
23:20.16prpplaguehehe
23:20.38prpplaguesjhill: you disagree with rmk's policies?
23:20.49sjhillno, i just think he doesn't do enough testing
23:20.56sjhilland people trust him
23:21.46prpplagueahh
23:22.46[g2]ok so let's revolt :)
23:35.51MonMotha2.6 in general has some problems
23:35.57MonMothaI'm actually thinking of rolling my desktop back to 2.4
23:39.57prpplagueMonMotha: yea, i went 2.6 for a couple of weeks, then went back to 2.4
23:40.26[g2]I haven't been on 2.4 for about 18 months :)
23:40.27prpplagueMonMotha: i can't justify upgrading all of our legacy 2.4 builds to 2.6 and risk having unstable products
23:40.52prpplague[g2]-away: which version?
23:41.00[g2]-awayheck... I've my slug is on 2.6.11.2 :)
23:41.24[g2]-away2.6.10 and 2.6.11 two desktops and a laptop
23:41.27prpplague[g2]-away: yea, hacking something, and putting out a production version is a little different
23:41.36[g2]-awayactually 2 laptops
23:41.49[g2]-awaynod
23:43.31*** join/#elinux [mYa]_KiD_Reles (~cd@p54A2FE6B.dip.t-dialin.net)
23:43.38MonMothaprpplague: well, this is just my personal desktop.  It seems stable enough, as in it doesn't completely crash, but there's lots of silly stuff.  The API for cd burning changed in 2.6.6 or something and means that even setuid root apps won't work, you have to actually BE root (wtf!?)
23:43.57MonMothathen it doesn't support my USB CF reader anymore, probably because I haven't gone with the whole hotplug/udev thing
23:44.05MonMothaI don't really like hotplug and udev though
23:45.55prpplagueMonMotha: yea, i was kinda surprise with all the core changes between 2.4 and 2.6
23:46.23MonMothawell, and none of the userspace apps have caught up
23:46.23prpplagueMonMotha: i would have suspected that level of changes to be in a 3.0 release
23:46.32prpplagueMonMotha: exactly
23:46.44MonMothacdrecord still bitches about how it's broken (but that's just because Jorg Schilling is an asshole who thinks we should all be running Solaris)
23:47.05MonMothathe kernel build system also got infinitely more complicated
23:47.06prpplagueMonMotha: i think doing those kinds of changes when linux really needs some stability in the market place just didn't go over well
23:47.17MonMothaI'm still not sure on the exact procedure for building a kernel module outside of the tree
23:47.47MonMothaprpplague: indeed, I've had a client ask me to port one of my drivers to 2.6.  I'm working on it, but I advised him to hold off on the migration since these are servers we're talking about here
23:48.01MonMothaheck, I didn't upgrade my servers to 2.4 until it was at like 2.4.16
23:48.13MonMothaand that wasn't nearly as major of a change as 2.4->2.6
23:48.25prpplagueMonMotha: yea, we had a big meeting and decided, "if it ain't broke don't fix it"
23:48.43prpplagueMonMotha: on our embedded platforms, we have support for everything we need
23:48.47MonMothayup, the couple of production systems I run still use 2.4 and I have no plans to upgrade them any time soon, if ever
23:49.01MonMothayeah, embedded systems especially, the API changes make porting drivers difficult
23:49.33prpplaguewhen i left abcsinc, they still had a customer running their account package on a 2.2 kernel
23:49.42MonMothaI dont' blame them.  2.2 is solid
23:49.56MonMothaI know a guy still runnign his NAT router on 2.0
23:49.58prpplaguehehe they also had a customer still running openserver 4.07
23:50.07prpplagueMonMotha: wow
23:50.19MonMothayeah, I've been puishing him to upgrade that, iptables really is much nicer than ipfwadm
23:50.27jamieOn the bright side, the CD-writer IDE changes in 2.6.6 made it not use a ton of CPU any more for a lot of people.
23:50.29MonMothabut again, if it works, don't try to fix it
23:50.51MonMothajamie: yeah, that's why I've been hesitating to roll all the way back to 2.4.  cd burnign does work, I should just set up sudo and alias something
23:50.53prpplagueMonMotha: have you ever heard of UZI?
23:51.06MonMothaprpplague: UZI? other than as an automatic weapon, no
23:51.55prpplagueMonMotha: http://uzix.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=intro&lang=us
23:52.30prpplagueMonMotha: i've been trying to drum up some ppl interested in porting it to some arm7-mmuless devices
23:52.54prpplagueMonMotha: like the phillips SAM series that has onboard flash and ram
23:53.09MonMothaneat, I should try to get it running on my z80 system I'm building
23:53.20MonMothathoguh my z80 system is going to have more RAM than it supports, 24 bit virtual addresses
23:53.40prpplagueMonMotha: cool, using a z8 ?
23:53.49MonMothaprpplague: nope, plain jane old-skool z80 :)
23:53.57prpplagueMonMotha: cool
23:54.01MonMothaI'm wire-wrapping it on a perfboard
23:54.07prpplaguewow
23:54.10MonMothacurrently working out how I want to do all the DRAM
23:54.18MonMothayeah, this was a "because I can" project
23:54.24prpplagueMonMotha: btdt
23:54.49prpplaguei love small z80 systems
23:55.34prpplagueif i didn't need every last available brain cell to do my daily embedded work, i'd spend all my time playing with z80
23:57.30MonMothayeah, I need to learn the assembly, doesn't look too complicated
23:57.55MonMothaI just know way to many assembly languages a this point: 8051, i960, ARM, MIPS, TI 500x, IA-64
