| 08:58.10 | cpufreak | z00dax: then for 3K, I'd put down a 3K deposit on *my* car and the pay the rest off over 3 years. |
| 08:58.26 | cpufreak | http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1164540.htm |
| 09:01.20 | bilarh | cpufreak: i thought you sold it half a year ago? |
| 09:02.07 | cpufreak | no |
| 09:02.09 | cpufreak | decided not to |
| 09:02.15 | cpufreak | buy it henrik |
| 09:02.20 | bilarh | i don't think so :P |
| 09:02.24 | cpufreak | you've seen it, its awesome |
| 09:02.31 | bilarh | i know, it's a great car no doubt |
| 09:02.38 | cpufreak | faster than a speeding bullet through corners |
| 09:02.48 | bilarh | don't think the missus would be amused if i spent most of the house deposit on a bmw though :D |
| 09:02.56 | cpufreak | its a sure investment though |
| 09:03.08 | cpufreak | and do you really want to move house? |
| 09:03.13 | bilarh | yes :S |
| 09:03.18 | bilarh | i want my double garage, damnit |
| 09:03.24 | bilarh | double garage > csl |
| 09:03.59 | cpufreak | csl is rarer than a double garage |
| 09:04.07 | bilarh | also, i don't think you understand... i'm not particularly keen on driving, i just like doing stuff to the cars... |
| 09:04.18 | bilarh | i'd ruin that csl within 12 months by taking it apart and then not fitting it back together again |
| 09:04.23 | bilarh | i'm the wrong owner for that kind of car |
| 09:04.33 | cpufreak | you'll grow into being the right kind of owner |
| 09:04.37 | cpufreak | I couldn't drive when I bought it |
| 09:04.51 | cpufreak | as in I had a driving license, but I really couldn't actually drive properly |
| 09:05.17 | bilarh | yeah i know what you mean |
| 09:05.28 | bilarh | still not spending 28k on a motor at the moment |
| 09:05.33 | bilarh | or even 25 :O |
| 09:05.52 | bilarh | i'm just about to spend 600 on a gearbox for my 2.3 turbo lump so i can fit it into an mx5 |
| 09:06.06 | bilarh | so 25/28 is on a completely different level of budget |
| 09:06.18 | bilarh | and one i simply can not afford at the moment, if ever |
| 09:07.08 | bilarh | and spending the 600 is really painful and i'm having second thoughts, and that's probably like a level 2 service on the beemer |
| 09:07.11 | bilarh | etc etc :) |
| 09:07.16 | bilarh | is way too cheap |
| 09:23.21 | antiphase | 600 quid is too much, because you're making a dog turd of a car when you could just buy someone else's project that they got bored with for a fraction of what they spent doing it |
| 09:25.02 | bilarh | antiphase: why don't you build something better then, or shut up? |
| 09:25.52 | antiphase | Because I don't want to waste my money. Done that before on cars |
| 09:26.37 | bilarh | it's not about wasting money, it's about building something |
| 09:26.47 | bilarh | you don't have to understand, most people probably don't |
| 09:28.41 | z00dax | cpufreak: your car does indeed look very sweet, however way way over the budgets i have. |
| 09:28.52 | bilarh | z00dax: it is, it's very nice :) |
| 10:02.00 | z00dax | bilarh: my brithday is coming up, feel free to buy it for me :) |
| 10:02.59 | bilarh | after careful consideration, i've decided not to get it for you |
| 10:03.25 | z00dax | sulks in the corner |

| 13:12.09 | j0nr | cheapish |

| 13:20.37 | antiphase | You need to know where your mouse is? Min'e on my desk |
| 13:32.31 | z00dax | j0nr: you can prolly get one for about £15 these days |
| 13:32.51 | z00dax | just make sure it talks whatever proto you need for it to work with the s/w you intend to use |
| 13:34.58 | j0nr | z00dax: I'd like to know wherre |
| 13:35.42 | z00dax | j0nr: eg: http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=172557 |
| 13:36.41 | z00dax | expansys are rarely cheap. so you should be able to get the exact same thing online for a few pounds off, if you want to spend the time looking |
| 13:41.46 | j0nr | ah thats bluetooth tho... |
| 13:41.56 | j0nr | i just want a direct usb connection |
| 14:29.06 | dick_turpin | wethrin: Oi just had a classic, interested? |
| 14:29.31 | wethrin | go on |
| 14:29.38 | dick_turpin | 1 sec |
| 14:29.51 | bilarh | your time is up :( |
| 14:30.05 | bilarh | why can't you be as fast with the stories as you are in bed? :( |
| 14:30.22 | wethrin | he wants you to be left hanging |
| 14:30.52 | dick_turpin | Sorry, here we go |
| 14:31.39 | dick_turpin | "Hello Pete you do my BB at home, my daughter cant get on the Internet with her ipod" |
| 14:31.59 | dick_turpin | Er can they go on the Internet? |
| 14:32.06 | bilarh | ipod touch can |
| 14:32.09 | yaMatt | depends what one |
| 14:32.11 | bilarh | and iphone too |
| 14:32.15 | bilarh | using wifi, i mean |
| 14:32.21 | wethrin | ipod touch has wifi, yes |
| 14:32.25 | yaMatt | the shuffle too :P |
| 14:32.26 | dick_turpin | stfu and let me finish |
| 14:33.20 | dick_turpin | "I know you no longer support us but can you help as Mark (Another company) is on holiday" |
| 14:33.25 | bilarh | are you now desperately trying to think of something amusing to hide the fact that you're not down with the kidz and their ipoods? ;) |
| 14:33.46 | bilarh | god damn, your customers are sick in the head |
| 14:34.17 | dick_turpin | "Also my sons laptop won't connect at home" |
| 14:34.28 | yaMatt | charge them through the nose |
| 14:35.14 | dick_turpin | So in a nutshell yes he pays us for his BB at home and at work but that is it no maintenance, no purchasing of kit or anything |
| 14:35.45 | dick_turpin | but hey lets send an engineer for free to get his kids stuff working |
| 14:36.15 | dick_turpin | But the best bit is he 'is' paying another company for support |
| 14:36.44 | yaMatt | and theyre on holiday |
| 14:36.58 | yaMatt | thats good support |
| 14:37.25 | dick_turpin | But of course you lot are too dim to understand because he has BB from us that means we should do everything even cook his tea, mow the lawn and service his car |
| 14:38.54 | yaMatt | standard customer support stuff :) |
| 14:39.14 | dick_turpin | wethrin: And the next one is.... |
| 14:40.29 | dick_turpin | "Hi I'm trying to send our database as an attachment to an email but it won't go, is 32MB too big or something" |
| 14:40.50 | wethrin | argh |
| 14:41.30 | yaMatt | they can fit their database in 32mb? |
| 14:41.37 | dick_turpin | And then you wonder why I'm prematurely bald :-) |
| 14:42.10 | wethrin | I thought it was because you're old :) |
| 14:42.44 | dick_turpin | hits wethrin on the big toe with a 4lb lump hammer |
| 14:45.24 | yaMatt | ah, the contents of a customers brain |
| 14:50.13 | wethrin | ow |
| 14:50.20 | wethrin | I'm on the phone! |
| 15:07.24 | dick_turpin | smashes wethrin's other toe while he is making his afternoon dirty phone call |
| 15:08.10 | yaMatt | oh, those drirty phone lines are very expensive |
| 15:08.49 | wethrin | ! |
| 15:20.35 | dick_turpin | yaMatt: No I only charge wethrin half price |

| 16:07.34 | mindbendr | hello |
| 16:07.41 | mindbendr | can someone help me about linux boot process |
| 16:07.50 | mindbendr | I can't boot a VM |
| 16:08.00 | mindbendr | because it doesn't mount the root partition for some reason |
| 16:09.25 | wethrin | Your /etc/fstab is wrong |
| 16:09.29 | mindbendr | it's not |
| 16:09.31 | hali | you can specify root= on the cmdline |
| 16:09.34 | wethrin | There should be some kernel command-line parameter... |
| 16:09.34 | hali | boot cmdline |
| 16:09.36 | wethrin | what hali said |
| 16:09.40 | mindbendr | I have done it |
| 16:09.52 | hali | are you using uuid/label/device? |
| 16:09.53 | mindbendr | domU is fedora6, dom0 is centos 5.x |
| 16:09.56 | hali | perhaps udev screws it up |
| 16:09.59 | mindbendr | i have tried with labels |
| 16:10.07 | mindbendr | I have tried putting centos kernel on fedora |
| 16:10.29 | mindbendr | mount: could not find filesystem `/dev/root/` |
| 16:10.32 | mindbendr | is what I get |
| 16:11.06 | mindbendr | I export the image as /dev/xvda |
| 16:11.11 | mindbendr | this is my fstab /dev/xvda2 / ext3 defaults 1 1 |
| 16:11.24 | mindbendr | /dev/xvda1 /boot is the second line |
| 16:11.34 | mindbendr | hali: udev is a good probability I thought |
| 16:11.49 | mindbendr | hali: but I couldn't find a way how does the kernel identify the blockdevice and name it |
| 16:12.03 | mindbendr | I have tried `debug` in the boot parameters but it doesn't help |
| 16:12.13 | mindbendr | so I tried labeling, didn't help |
| 16:14.33 | mindbendr | when I fdisk the image, I've got a message like this, arcadiatlsmirror.img2 14 1351 10747485 83 Linux |
| 16:14.36 | mindbendr | Partition 2 has different physical/logical endings: phys=(1023, 254, 63) logical=(1350, 254, 63) |
| 16:14.39 | mindbendr | does it have anything to do with that? |
| 16:57.19 | Mohan | mindbendr: grub> find /sbin/init |
| 16:58.44 | Mohan | check whether if grub is able to detect the root partition |
