Chipzzdo you guys realize that the latest initramfs setup has broken home-made kernels built with make-kpkg beyond all belief?03:47

MithrandirChipzz: uh, how so?04:36
Chipzznetworking not starting at all04:38
Chipzzwhich is due to /etc/network/ifstate not being removed04:38
Chipzzand output of e2fsck being spewed all over the console with brown * next to it04:39
Chipzz(like failure messages)04:39
Mithrandirthat has nothing to do with custom or regular kernels.04:44
zookoI have a custom kernel built with make-kpkg, and I have different problems than that.04:45
=== pappan [n=garbage@bgepxyout-02.asiapac.hp.net] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
Chipzzoh *sigh*04:58
Chipzzthis time it fucks up in the initramfs04:58
Chipzz:/04:58
Chipzzthis is exactly why I have home-made kernels: to avoid the need for any crap like initrds and initramfs'es *at all*04:59
Chipzz:(04:59
Mithrandirmaybe it fucks up because you did something silly when compiling your kernel, then?05:01
Chipzzthis kernel has worked ever since I installed ubuntu, and before that several months on a debian install05:11
Chipzz(to be more precise: I recompiled the kernel form my debian system with the same config on ubuntu with make-kpkg)05:12
Mithrandiryes, and?  If you're not using initrds, the initrd/initramfs can't break your boot.05:12
Chipzzthe reason it breaks is exactly because initramfs being run05:13
Mithrandirdon't use initramfs, then.05:13
Chipzzok, little question...05:13
Chipzzwhy is /dev mkdir'ed in the initramfs?05:14
Mithrandirbecause else it won't exist? :-)05:14
Chipzzduh :)05:14
Chipzzbut why don't you put it in the initramfs in the first place>?05:14
Mithrandirthat'd work too.05:14
ChipzzI was going to suggest the following:05:15
Chipzzon debian I had devfs earlier05:15
Chipzzbut just in case that crapped up05:15
Mithrandirnewer kernels don't support devfs, though.05:15
ChipzzI had the necessary device nodes in /dev05:15
Chipzz(for the root filesystem)05:15
Chipzzso even if for some reason the devfsd maintainer screwed up big time05:16
Chipzzat the very least the / fs would still mount05:16
=== pappan [n=garbage@bgepxyout-02.asiapac.hp.net] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
Mithrandirwell, we discover stuff at boot-time rather than relying on /dev/sda being the right node each time.05:17
Chipzzmaybe a good idea to actually ship /dev in the initramfs, with the necessary device nodes to mount / (and possibly /usr and /var and /tmp?)05:17
Mithrandiror rather, you need to load the relevant module 05:17
Mithrandirwhat's needed to mount the root filesystem?05:17
Chipzzone device node ;P05:17
Chipzzin my case, /dev/hda1 ;)05:18
Mithrandirudev creates that when the device becomes available05:18
Chipzzyes05:18
Chipzzand what if the udev maintainer fucks up and udev doesn't start?05:18
Chipzz;)05:18
Chipzzthing is05:19
Mithrandirthen your system becomes unbootable, but you switch back to your previous initramfs and boot happily using that?05:19
Chipzzyou *know* what device node will be needed to mount / at initramfs creation time05:19
Mithrandirno, you don't.05:19
Chipzzwouldn't that be the same device node your / fs is mounted at at that moment?05:20
Mithrandirwhat's if your root device is an USB hard drive?05:21
Chipzzok, in most sane cases... ;P05:23
Mithrandirinstalling to an USB hard drive is not a sane case?  A live cd is not a sane case?05:27

dilingeri dunno who normally handles this, but i just uploaded ndiswrapper 1.8 to debian08:04
dilingerthere are misc bugs in 1.5 (which is in dapper) that are fixed in 1.808:04
dilingermight want to consider resynching w/ debian08:04
BenCwe don't sync that package with debian, plus we are in an upstream feature freeze08:05
BenCbut thanks08:05
BenCversion freeze I mean08:05
=== dilinger shrugs
dilingerok08:07
dilingerhttp://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=33830908:07
dilingerstuff like that is what you'll get when using ndiswrapper 1.5 w/ a newer kernel08:07
BenChow new?08:07
BenCwe aren't going past 2.6.15 for dapper08:08
dilingerthat bug report is with 2.6.1408:08
dilinger1.5 is quite old08:08
BenC1.5 was released not too long after dapper started, which was only a few months ago08:08
dilingerwell, in terms of kernel releases, it's old08:09
zookoHeh.08:09
dilingeri assume you had to patch it to make it compile?08:09
dilingerlooks like 1.5 was released on halloween08:10
BenCdon't think so, maybe just the USB URB thing08:10
dilingera bunch of people compiled that 1.5 didn't compile w/ 2.6.1408:11
dilingercomplained, rather :)08:11
dilingeranyways, just a suggestion08:11
BenCok08:12

dilingeri just upgraded to the latest initramfs/kernel packages in dapper10:55
dilingerit looks like it fixed all the udev problems10:55
dilinger /dev/null and friends now even have the correct permissions10:55
