[07:35] <tuxmaniac> hey guys! If I download the latest 2.6.16.16 from kernel.org and compile and install it on Ubuntu Dapper I know it will work
[07:35] <tuxmaniac> but we will miss out on the Ubuntu patches right?
[07:35] <tuxmaniac> So what will be the end effect if one installs a latest vanilla kernel on Dapper?
[07:39] <crimsun> tuxmaniac: "know it will work"?
[07:39] <crimsun> tuxmaniac: as in you've tested it, and the udev<->kernel interaction works identically?
[07:40] <tuxmaniac> no
[07:40] <tuxmaniac> crimsun: There are some problems?
[07:40] <tuxmaniac> there are some problems!
[07:41] <tuxmaniac> But is there no way to install the latest kernel from kernel.org
[07:41] <tuxmaniac> I did install 2.6.16 on Brezy and it pretty much worked fine except for my synaptic touchpad scroll feature
[07:41] <crimsun> you can, but there's no guarantee everything will work. The udev<->kernel interaction I mentioned is just one issue.
[07:42] <tuxmaniac> hmmm.. so the latest on Ubuntu Dapper is 2.6.15-23 but the topic says -22 !?
[07:45] <tuxmaniac> crimsun: I want to ask one more standard question. am very much interested in working with the kernel team. How do I start? Submit patches to bugs or how?
[07:50] <crimsun> that's an excellent way.
[07:56] <crimsun> well yes, there are rather gigantic differences
[05:19] <fabbione> BenC: ping?
[05:19] <BenC> fabbione: pong
[05:19] <fabbione> hey BenC 
[05:19] <fabbione> BenC: -23- is no go on my PB
[05:19] <fabbione> as soon as X starts the machine is totally frozen
[05:19] <fabbione> hard 
[05:20] <BenC> running it on mine
[05:20] <fabbione> -22- works fine
[05:20] <fabbione> i just dist-upgraded 10 minutes ago or so
[05:20] <BenC> Linux grayson 2.6.15-23-powerpc #1 Thu May 18 09:56:00 EDT 2006 ppc GNU/Linux
[05:20] <fabbione> yeah
[05:20] <fabbione> i do believe you :)
[05:20] <BenC> I'm running the one I built before upload
[05:20] <BenC> I'll reboot to the archive one in a second
[05:20] <fabbione> can you try the one that has been built in the archive?
[05:20] <fabbione> thanks
[05:22] <BenC> btw, 2.6.17-1 is building on everything except hppa and ia64 now
[05:24] <fabbione> cool
[05:24] <BenC> it boots on my G4, but on my ultra3k it is causing a openboot panic
[05:24] <BenC> sends it into a POST loop
[05:25] <fabbione> interesting
[05:25] <tuxmaniac> fabbione: -23 runs fine on mine too.. Just installed today! :)
[05:26] <fabbione> tuxmaniac: what model is your?
[05:26] <tuxmaniac> sorry fabbione Dint see.. ou guys are talking abt ppc.. Mine is x86 :D
[05:29] <fabbione> BenC: i am going to calibrate the THX on the mythtv box
[05:29] <fabbione> i will pass by later to check on -23-
[06:18] <jbailey> BenC: Which gcc are you using for the edgy kernels?
[06:18] <BenC> whatever /usr/bin/gcc is
[06:29] <tuxmaniac> BenC: I did a custom install of 2.6.16-ck11 
[06:30] <tuxmaniac> BenC: While booting the EVMS is generaing a device maper error! What could it be.. Should I disable EVMS or something?
[06:30] <BenC> not sure
[06:32] <fabbione> re
[06:32] <fabbione> BenC: does it boot for you?
[06:38] <bluefoxicy> gah
[06:46] <bluefoxicy> there, booting with stack_random_bits=99 mmap_random_bits=99 on v3 (rebuilding with v4 after this to test that..)
[06:46] <bluefoxicy> Stack randomisation test (SEGMEXEC)      : No randomisation
[06:46] <bluefoxicy> yay i broked it :)
[06:50] <bluefoxicy> wow
[06:50] <bluefoxicy> that's really freaky.
[06:50] <bluefoxicy> 2 files not to patch because they're simply not there, and the code is new.
