| 13:55.49 | pahartik | simonrvn: It is nice, I am wondering whether it would also work on OldWorld systems |
| 13:56.47 | simonrvn | i'm wondering that myself |

| 18:35.39 | psychicist | succeeds booting the lenny kernel too using GRUB, but not his self-compiled kernel |
| 18:35.53 | *** part/#debianppc flok420 (i=folkert@keetweej.vanheusden.com) |
| 18:43.48 | psychicist | suspects an 8 MB kernel is too large for OpenFirmware/GRUB to cope with |
| 20:04.41 | pahartik | psychicist: What did you do to get large kernel image? |
| 20:05.48 | simonrvn | compile everything in? or a lot.... i've seen 6-7 MB kernels on one of my systems... max is probably 7.5 now |
| 20:06.47 | psychicist | pahartik: enable most options in my kernel image and as many modules as possible. is there a limit to the sizes that Yaboot and GRUB2 can boot? |
| 20:07.49 | psychicist | I'm known to be pretty enthousiastic at configuring kernels on pretty much all architectures I build for :) |
| 20:10.32 | psychicist | but I maintain that the kernel configuration mechanism should prevent me from configuring something that won't boot, unfortunately that isn't always the case in my experience |
| 20:11.19 | pahartik | psychicist: I like to configure kernels too, with optimizations per host... Like disabling USB and IDE on if they are not present on board, building in only filesystems needed to boot |
| 20:13.13 | pahartik | psychicist: "IDE on if" as in "IDE if" |
| 20:22.50 | psychicist | pahartik: that's a good reason, but my main reason is that I want to be able to use all hardware and functionality regardless of architecture so I enable as much functionality and many modules as possible |
| 20:29.52 | psychicist | I can't even remember the last time I burnt a CD or a DVD on an x86 system, I did most of that on MIPS and PPC |
| 20:30.23 | pahartik | psychicist: Very good |
| 20:46.52 | psychicist | pahartik: it was you who finally convinced me to try GRUB2 on a non-x86 architecture and I'm glad it works on the PowerMac. I would love to replace SILO with GRUB2 on my SPARC system as well, it's really easy to work with. |
