 Probably known around here --

 On F11 builds, the enumerated device for the SD cards (internal,
 external) can and does change. More precisely:

  - Boot with only internal SD card present, and later insert an ext SD
 card -- result: mmcblk0 is the internal SD card, and mmcblk1 the
 external.

  - Boot from the internal SD card, with an external SD card present --
 result: swapped enumeration - mmcblk1 is the internal SD card, and
 mmcblk0 the external.

 So for example if you want /home on an external SD card, use UUIDs .

Or you could use labels on the FS.

Another option: use the bus-indexed device nodes in /dev/disk/mmc

Re: Rebuilding a kernel with olpc-kernel-builder

 I am trying to rebuild our kernel with a couple of patches on top...

  - run and ... fail!

olpc-kernel-builder (like olpc-2.6-rpm) is for automated build and
distribution of new kernels.
If you just want to build a one-off RPM then its really easy. Within
the kernel tree:

make xo_1-kernel-rpm

or

make xo_1_5-kernel-rpm


I've been planning to document the build procedures and infrastructure
around kernel and release generation, perhaps I'll bump up the
priority on that.

XO-1.5 ACPI ebook switch

2010-11-19 Thread Daniel Drake
Hi,

I'm looking at getting the XO-1.5 ACPI kernel changes upstream.

Right now, the ebook switch has its own kernel driver for the XO15EBK
HID, it seems like a design decision was taken in the ACPI DSDT that
we should invent our own class instead of using the standard ACPI
button one.

However, the DSDT also exposes the lid and power switches as standard
ACPI switches, which get driven by the standard Linux driver without
complication.

Can anyone recall why the ebook switch is its own class?

Thanks,
Daniel

Modifying 353 (xo-1) to apply the dev.laptop.org/ticket/10195 fix

2010-11-19 Thread Mikus Grinbergs
Bernie - you closed this ticket with I disabled the mesh on boot and no
further incidents of this type were reported.

Please - how did you disable the mesh on boot ?

I am investigating a situation (on XO-1 353+) that started when I could
not associate to an Access Point - because there were no access points
being displayed in Neighborhood View.  [A second XO-1 in the same room,
running that exact same software, saw those Access Points and connected
fine.]  Non-consistently, eth0 disappears.  After I do 'iwconfig eth0
up', 'iwlist eth0 scan' often shows only Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00.


I would like to try your disable the mesh on boot -- but it appears to
me that it is *after* boot (when Network Manager starts) that the
resources which control the mesh get defined.  I can disable the mesh
after Network Manager has enabled it - but I don't know how to disable
it prior to that point.  How did you disable the mesh on boot ?

Thanks,  mikus

Re: XO-1.5 ACPI ebook switch

2010-11-19 Thread Mitch Bradley
Does the ACPI spec say anything about an ebook switch?  Lid switch, 
power button and sleep button are standard ACPI thingys, but I'm not 
sure there is an ACPI standard for other kinds of buttons.  A search of 
the ACPI spec for button didn't find anything other than power and sleep.

ACPI, in general, tends to be about enumerating specific cases instead 
of creating a general purpose framework.

[Server-devel] pgsql-xs fail during boot process

2010-11-19 Thread Dudley Daduwe
Hi All,

I have a XS server which works fine. I have decided to install
additional content onto the library. After completing copying, I then
created the Alias using nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/html.conf. How can I
resolve this problem.

Thank you,
