| 09:52.56 | dacks`laptop | hello |
| 09:53.10 | dacks`laptop | how's everyone doing this evening/morning? |
| 15:50.45 | Bor_Ed | quiet... as usual |
| 16:06.03 | pahartik | Hello Bor_Ed |
| 16:09.21 | Bor_Ed | evening to taNpere |
| 16:13.45 | pahartik | Bor_Ed: Finally I have managed to upgrade my server from Debian-provided source of Linux 2.4.27 kernel |
| 16:14.36 | Bor_Ed | hey, you wouldn't happen to know why oldworld pmac with VIA chipset usb 2.0 card doesn't work on recent 2.6 kernels? friend is forced to use some 2.6.8 because of that |
| 16:18.53 | pahartik | Bor_Ed: Solution was to copy "drivers/scsi/advansys.c" from Linux 2.4.27 to Linux 2.4.37.6, after that everything worked |
| 16:20.31 | Bor_Ed | ookay |
| 16:20.49 | Bor_Ed | you had prob with scsi just card |
| 16:23.30 | pahartik | Bor_Ed: That SCSI adapter driver is not well supported... Keeps Linux 2.6 kernel away from my server |
| 16:23.39 | Bor_Ed | ahh |
| 16:23.51 | Bor_Ed | friend can't use recent kernels because of the usb issue |
| 16:24.16 | Bor_Ed | server is behind nat though and just required ports forwarded |
| 16:26.17 | pahartik | Bor_Ed: I do not know about that USB issue, but replace adapter card with one that works if USB is needed for something? |
| 16:27.09 | Bor_Ed | usb is required for external storage and same chipset worked on my oldworld boxen as-is even with 2.6.1x kernels |
| 16:27.42 | Bor_Ed | .2x and .3x just doesn't seem to work for him and I don't have oldworld boxen here to test on anymore |
| 16:40.33 | pahartik | Bor_Ed: Damn that mystery |
| 16:42.43 | Bor_Ed | yea... he can live with old kernel but the box ain't that secure and misses loads of fixes to performance |
| 16:48.30 | pahartik | Bor_Ed: I would try replacing card |
| 16:49.24 | Bor_Ed | the card works so that's not the issue |
| 16:49.45 | Bor_Ed | he got the same card I used... a'la clas ohlson |
| 16:55.03 | pahartik | Bor_Ed: By trying different cards one could figure out whether it is problem with that specific card or any card of similar function... |
| 16:59.54 | Bor_Ed | hmm, true |
| 17:07.19 | pahartik | Bor_Ed: It really just costs time it takes to test cards, if you optimize it |
| 17:08.39 | Bor_Ed | he's got some services running on the box and it can't be interrupted just for 'tests'... |
| 17:08.44 | Bor_Ed | including some forums etc |
| 17:10.29 | pahartik | Bor_Ed: I see... Which PowerMacintosh model is it exactly? |
| 17:11.06 | Bor_Ed | beige g3 rev. a |
| 17:11.17 | Bor_Ed | my old server :D |
| 17:12.00 | pahartik | Bor_Ed: AKA "difficult firmware"? |
| 17:12.38 | Bor_Ed | same thingy |
| 17:12.50 | Bor_Ed | though OF gives up as kernel is loaded and booted |

| 19:50.32 | pahartik | Bor_Ed: I am proceeding slowly on plan to move to solid-state storage and RAID on server, now that kernel problem is solved |
| 19:53.29 | pahartik | Bor_Ed: Using CompactFlash reader on IEEE-1394 bus for solid-state storage |
| 19:53.32 | Bor_Ed | ssd... yikes... even with dx ssd barebones that's pricey |
| 19:54.11 | Bor_Ed | I'd go for sdhc cards and sata for best price/buck but that's just me |
