04:02:44 <tozhu> hello, does  illumos support INTEL i810 network chipset?
07:05:09 <ptribble> Onwards with loader versus the serial port
07:05:28 <ptribble> So, setting the boot timeout to 0 sometimes works, but not always
07:06:26 <ptribble> Disconnecting the serial connection entirely and the system autoboots as it should
07:07:16 <ptribble> But that's not ideal (can't go crawling round the back of the lab every time I want to boot my main machine)
07:07:57 <ptribble> So forcing console="text" in a conf.d file seems to work
07:08:50 <ptribble> But this encourages me that it's just something odd about my setup and not a bug that's going to hit the rest of my machines
07:58:19 <tsoome_> bad serial cable maybe?
08:18:59 <tsoome_> since we do flush on port setup, any appearing input bytes must happen between port setup and menu loop. Of course, we could try to flush input right before we enter menu loop, but there is still chance of getting random reads during the menu loop itself...
08:21:25 <Woodstock> ptribble: is there ipmi involved?
08:25:50 <ptribble> Woodstock: No, this is serial via rj45 to the console port on a SPARC T4 - powered off (no input power at all)
08:26:41 <ptribble> I presume there's some sort of reflective signal as the PC comes up
08:27:01 <Woodstock> ptribble: uh oh. checked the grounding between those two?
08:27:37 <ptribble> Disabling the serial in loader would also presumably solve the problem of loader getting confused when the SPARC box is actually running
08:39:20 <tsoome_> hm. are you using ethernet patch cable for serial connection or something else?
08:42:11 <tsoome_> curious case anyhow:) and why it appeared not and not before...
08:43:03 <tsoome_> s/not/now/
09:34:53 <tsoome_> hm, is it me or is https://www.illumos.org/issues/ very slow?
09:49:43 <teutat3s> Looks normal to me after clicking around a bit 🤷‍♂️
09:50:30 <tsoome_> then its my router acting up:( oh my
09:52:01 <tsoome_> or browser:) time to restart the browser:)
13:58:23 <Woodstock> tsoome_: do we have uefi http boot yet?
14:27:02 <tsoome_> I have number of patches to add http storage mechanism (from fbsd), but havent got anywhere with them.
14:28:05 <yuripv> do you have the lua loader patches? :D
14:29:07 <tsoome_> no. 
14:29:50 <yuripv> too bad, last time I had to merge the 4th changes, it made my head explode.
14:30:39 <tsoome_> to be really honest, I do not think it will be significantly easier with lua 
14:31:22 <yuripv> lua I *can* read at least
14:31:45 <yuripv> and anyway, j/k here, sorry
18:19:08 <richlowe> yeah, I think the number of people who understand lua is orders of  magnitude higher
18:19:16 <richlowe> but also that that would be true if there were only 10 of those people
18:52:20 <jbk> way that why you do? :)
18:53:48 <jbk> err say
19:15:42 <andyf> There's at least tsoome_ and me here. I don't think a switch to lua would suddenly increase contributions to those bits of loader.
19:49:54 <richlowe> andyf: I wasn't thinking at all of contributions, but debugging 
19:50:05 <richlowe> and fwiw, I understand what I like to think of as "enough" forth too
21:54:26 <tsoome_> :) actual problem with using lua is that it till consume more space and with BIOS version, space is precious resource.
