[09:15] oh i see [09:15] while booting from cd [09:15] yep worth a shot [09:22] i wonder why the recovery mode needs you to set a hostname? [09:39] oh ffs [09:43] BenC: that linker script error seems to show up only when forking the build with CONCURRENCY_LEVEL [09:47] lifeless: i'm chrooted into my root from the installer kernel, what did you want me to try? [09:55] well you should be able to upgrade your kernel, udev, now [09:56] yeah, that's what i did [09:56] so the good news is i have a way to get updates on; but they don't fix it yet [09:56] ok [09:56] so the installer has the same kernel as you now, and udev. So it might be another package [09:57] well, the installer actually uses -9, which is quite a bit older the current one in the distro [09:58] or it may be starting things up in a different order from userspace that avoids this [09:58] but for now i will wait for guidance from benc i think [09:59] poolie: try installing -9 from the repositories and see if that boots correctly? [10:01] i have, though maybe they updated -9? [10:01] do you know when it gets a new -9 number rather than a -9.1? [10:03] yes [10:03] the -X is the ubuntu serial number for all intents and purposes [10:03] poolie: grab the correct set of binaries off https://beta.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20 ? === Lure [n=lure@external-7.hermes.si] has joined #ubuntu-kernel [10:04] lifeless: but sometimes there are several uploads of -9? [10:05] Mithrandir: will that be different to what's in the archive? [10:05] poolie: if you grab the one marked "removed", yes. [10:06] poolie: -9 is the ABI version, it's only bumped when the upload changes the ABI. [10:06] there was two uploads of -9 [10:06] i see, thanks [10:07] Mithrandir: and which do you think is correct? [10:07] it's broken in -7; it's broken in -10 [10:08] 2.6.20-9.16, probably. [10:10] ok, and you think that might work because it's the one used by the installer?

[03:55] abogani: sure, what's up? [03:56] Mithrandir: About my spec (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RealTime).... [03:56] I have created a linux-patch-realtime-preempt package. This package contain only the Ingo Molnar's patch (and not all linux kernel source) adapted to Ubuntu linux kernel (i use dh-kpathes method). Users can build kernel follow this http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-getting [03:57] It is a right way? Now exist a possibility that this package will be accepted in universe? What i should do for achieve this objective? [04:04] abogani: get someone to review it, and sponsor the upload, then buy Mith a few pints [04:05] abogani: That's something you'd want to check #ubuntu-motu for [04:07] abogani: your approach seems sane, yes. [04:07] BenC, Mithrandir : Ok Thanks :-) [04:09] abogani: and if it helps, I'll give a nod for the package, considering you were very open to packaging suggestions and quick to change the entire build process to suit it [04:10] wouldn't it be better to do like Xen and have the package pull in the kernel source, apply the patch, and build a kernel for the binary package? [04:10] Amaranth: That's what he did [04:10] oh, i thought he was saying the end user would have to build the kernel [04:10] oh, maybe he did, I misread [04:10] I suggested using the xen method yesterday :) === mgalvin [n=mgalvin@ubuntu/member/mgalvin] has joined #ubuntu-kernel [04:33] BenC: I already seen Xen packaging approach.. but xen-source package contains a complete linux source copy! It is also _vanilla_ kernel! ...... Ok i'm confused. :-| .... What is exactly the xen package that i should use as example? [04:34] abogani: The 2.6.17 one in edgy [04:34] the one in feisty might be full source [04:34] BenC: Ahhhh [04:35] uh, please don't do that. It's deprecated and I will reject any new packages doing that. [04:36] you're free to have a package that build-depends on the appropriate kernel source, includes a patch and builds linux-image-$whatever binaries, though [04:36] BenC: thank you for the patience :-) [04:37] Mithrandir: that's the approach he's working towards [04:37] BenC: ok, good. === thotz [n=thomas@d86-33-125-41.cust.tele2.at] has joined #ubuntu-kernel === johanbr [n=j@JBrannlund.MathStat.Dal.Ca] has joined #ubuntu-kernel === thotz [n=thomas@d86-33-125-41.cust.tele2.at] has left #ubuntu-kernel [] === pmjdebruijn [n=pmjdebru@pmjdebruijn.xs4all.nl] has joined #ubuntu-kernel === lfittl [n=lfittl@213.129.230.12] has joined #ubuntu-kernel [05:28] BenC: the kernel doesn't fork more than 3500 or there about... there isn't enough source code :) === mgalvin [n=mgalvin@ubuntu/member/mgalvin] has joined #ubuntu-kernel [05:37] fabbione: We went from 120 procs to 10100 or so [05:37] top verified this number :) [05:38] fabbione: this was full ubuntu tree, so almost all modules turned on [05:38] $ find -name \*.c | wc -l [05:38] 9198 [05:39] figure up gcc+cc1+as forking, plus some make procs [05:39] seems feasible [05:48] hmmm oh right it was crap86 [05:48] we were on sparc === ivoks [n=ivoks@32-212.dsl.iskon.hr] has joined #ubuntu-kernel === m0rg0th [n=manugarg@219.64.120.181] has joined #ubuntu-kernel [06:22] fabbione: I don't think sparc uses -pipe, so there's more forking on x86 builds === Lure [n=lure@clj46-234.dial-up.arnes.si] has joined #ubuntu-kernel === johanbr [n=j@JBrannlund.MathStat.Dal.Ca] has joined #ubuntu-kernel === ivoks [n=ivoks@32-212.dsl.iskon.hr] has joined #ubuntu-kernel === bleinmono [n=toffel@ppp85-141-151-102.pppoe.mtu-net.ru] has joined #ubuntu-kernel === Lure [n=lure@clj46-234.dial-up.arnes.si] has joined #ubuntu-kernel [09:15] c [09:15] damnit === TheMuso [n=luke@ubuntu/member/themuso] has joined #ubuntu-kernel === rikai_ [n=rikai@unaffiliated/rikai] has joined #ubuntu-kernel === lfittl [n=lfittl@213.129.230.12] has joined #ubuntu-kernel === okaratas [n=ozgurk@fsf/member/okaratas] has joined #ubuntu-kernel === jml [n=jml@59.167.203.115] has joined #ubuntu-kernel === johanbr [n=j@blk-137-114-65.eastlink.ca] has joined #ubuntu-kernel === jml [n=jml@220-253-106-37.TAS.netspace.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
