[05:49] <karlheg> What is the correct command line for 'make-kpkg' to build an Ubuntu 'linux-image' package that creates an initramfs when it is installed?
[05:50] <Lathiat> karlheg: the ubuntu kernel packages wdont use make-kpkg
[05:50] <Lathiat> karlheg: make-kpkg is for makign custom kernel packages, the ubuntu packages have their own build system using normal debian stuff
[05:50] <karlheg> I tried what seemed obvious, and it fails, complaining about the '-m' option being illegal.
[05:50] <Lathiat> (aiui)
[05:50] <karlheg> Ah.
[05:51] <karlheg> Is a 2.6.13.1 on the near horizon?
[05:51] <Lathiat> I beleive we are far too late in the release cycle to move to 2.6.13
[05:51] <Lathiat> (however I have no idea on the actual plans for that, if any)
[05:52] <karlheg> Perhaps 'mkinitramfs' ought to be drop-in compatible with 'mkinitrd'?
[05:52] <karlheg> I thought it was, for some reason.
[05:54] <karlheg> I think I see the problem.  I used the '--mkimage' switch.  I think if I drop that, it won't try to use the '-m' option for the mkinitrd command... perhaps that will get me an initramfs??
[05:54] <jbailey> karlheg: Eh? =)
[05:55] <jbailey> mkinitramfs ought to be drop in compatible.  Did I miss something?
[05:55] <karlheg> I'm trying to build a kernel using 'make-kpkg'.
[05:55] <karlheg> The -m switch is not implemented.
[05:56] <jbailey> Right, because the previous kernels didn't use it.
[05:56] <jbailey> What is trying to do so?
[05:57] <jbailey> That was a way of specifying the tool to generate the cramfs.  It's the Wrong Thing with initramfs, and the current kernel packages don't use it.
[05:57] <jbailey> If make-kpg does, it needs to be fixed to not.
[05:58] <karlheg> Ok, it works.
[05:58] <karlheg> If you don't use the '--mkimage' switch to make-kpkg, it works fine and the initrd image is really an initrams.
[05:59] <karlheg> I want to use software suspend2 because the one in the Ubuntu stock kernel does not work on my laptop.
[05:59] <karlheg> Suspend2 is a lot better; I wish it was in the stock kernels.
[06:00] <karlheg> The latest release of Suspend2 is a patch against 2.6.13, and so I cannot simply use the Ubuntu linux source.
[06:00] <jbailey> How old is your laptop?
[06:01] <karlheg> It's fairly new.
[06:01] <jbailey> suspend to ram works should work on almost all newish laptops AFAIK.
[06:01] <karlheg> ... a year and a half or so.
[06:01] <jbailey> Which one?
[06:01] <jbailey> To answer your earlier question - breezy will ship with 2.6.12
[06:01] <jbailey> UVF was quite awhile ago.
[06:02] <mjg59> jbailey: Unless they use non-Intel chipsets, in which case it's a bit of a crapshoot
[06:02] <mjg59> karlheg: Have you filed a bug?
[06:02] <jbailey> mjg59: Are via ones bad, too?
[06:02] <mjg59> jbailey: Well, the one I have is
[06:02] <jbailey> =)
[06:05] <karlheg> It's a Uniwill 244II0
[06:05] <karlheg> No bug has been filed.
[06:06] <karlheg> Suspend to RAM works, partially.  It suspends and resumes, but on resume, the keyboard is dead.
[06:07] <karlheg> Suspend to disk, with the default configuration after a fresh install of hoary with subsequent upgrade to breezy will suspend, but on resume will reboot during reload.
[06:07] <karlheg> I need to reboot now.  BBL.
[06:07] <jbailey> mjg59: Is that the usb issue you were talking about on resume from suspend to disk?
[06:09] <mjg59> jbailey: Yes
[06:09] <jbailey> Cool.
[06:20] <Mithrandir> mjg59: does std/str work with SATA now?
[06:32] <mjg59> Mithrandir: Yes
[06:32] <mjg59> jbailey: No, the breakage is purely that USB doesn't work after resume
[06:32] <jbailey> Ah, okay
[09:54] <jbailey> mjg59: Around?  In server mode, usplash drops you at the console with the loading things rather than the login tty
[09:54] <jbailey> Is that expected?
[10:44] <Mithrandir> mjg59: excellent, I'll see if I can break it, then
[11:48] <jbailey> Is  NTFS_RW still experimental?
