[10:27] <Deffie> hi all, i'm trying to make a custom build of the ubuntu kernel, but  the system hangs after talking of usb controllers and after "freeing kernel memory" if i dont use the initrd, i cannnot find whats missing...
[01:49] <zul> hola
[03:07] <Deffie> hi all, i'm trying to make a custom build of the ubuntu kernel, but  the system hangs after talking of usb controllers and after "freeing kernel memory" if i dont use the initrd, i cannnot find whats missing...
[04:23] <Deffie_> inotify.
[04:24] <Deffie_> ubuntu doesnt boot without inotify support in the kernel
[04:24] <Deffie_> thank you for spreading infos ubuntoers
[04:35] <maks_> Deffie_: you are discouraged to roll your own unless expert
[04:35] <maks_> why don't you use the linux images?
[04:43] <Deffie_> inotify is reliable'
[04:44] <Deffie_> since .13
[04:44] <Deffie_> doesnt sound as mandatory thing
[04:50] <Deffie_> and just hanging doesnt seem representative of unix philosophy
[04:50] <Deffie_> tell me "theres no inotify, i cant work"
[04:51] <Deffie_> anyway
[04:51] <Deffie_> problem solved
[04:51] <Deffie_> the life continues
[04:51] <Mithrandir> *shrug*; you compile your own kernel => you're unsupported anyway.
[04:51] <zdzichuBG> like on OpenBSD
[04:51] <Deffie_> Mithrandir i'm not necessarily looking for support
[04:51] <zul> and this channel is not for support anyways
[04:52] <Deffie_> i'm talking of a kernel feature and ubuntu
[04:52] <Deffie_> sorry if i'm off topic
[04:54] <asdaa> hi! could someone please enlighten me, as of how an inneficient spinlock implementation could lead to cache trasing in a SMP system? thanks!
[04:55] <maks_> Deffie_ there are lots of traps in .config that a modern distro relies on
[04:56] <maks_> even on Debian i'll kick the report if not reproducible on standard linux-image
[04:57] <Deffie_> maks_: thats ok.
[05:11] <maks_> same story :P
[05:15] <jdong_> are there any active kernel devs online? I'd like to discuss SRU options for the TI Flashmedia bug....
[05:15] <jdong_> A commit between -12 and -13 reverted TIFM to a broken version....
[05:28] <BenC> jdong_: updated bug
[05:30] <jdong_> BenC: excellent, glad to hear that, I appreciate the response :)
[05:50] <BenC> jdong_: no problem, thanks for following up
[07:10] <zul> BenC: I should have the xen stuff done this weekend with the new fancy pants build system for gutsy
[07:11] <BenC> nice
[07:11] <zul> openvz for 2.6.21 is a bit of another thing
[07:14] <zul> along liam coming home this weekend
[07:15] <zul> BenC: how do we synchronize the config.386 in the custom binary.d directory?
[07:16] <dade`> exit
[07:16] <dade`> whoOps
[07:22] <BenC> zul: I need to add it to the updateconfigs taget
[07:28] <zul> ok
[07:28] <dade`> http://www.flickr.com/photos/dade/472608054/ hehe
[07:33] <zdzichuBG> slightly more than my thinkpad
[08:38] <zul> BenC: how do you build just the binary-custom.d flavours again?
[08:41] <zul> er..nevermind
[09:14] <el_ericho> Hi everybody. 
[09:14] <el_ericho> I'm working with an interface between a microcontroller and a SD card. I want to see the code of the support of mmc/sd cards in the kernel. But after of install linux-headers i only can find the headers on include/linux/mmc. How can i get the *.c files. 
[09:14] <el_ericho> Sorry for my poor english 
[09:16] <zdzichuBG> el_ericho: linux-source
[09:16] <zdzichuBG> el_ericho: but if you are the victim of tifm bug, fix is identified and in progress
[09:20] <el_ericho> Ok. Thank you
[09:21] <pkl_> el_ericho: this fix will be in the first Feisty SRU.
[09:44] <johanbr> Couldn't the tifm bug be worked around by using the sdhci driver, anyway? It's not clear to me which advantages the tifm driver offers.
[09:46] <zdzichuBG> johanbr: tifm supports (or will support) more standards than only SD
[09:47] <johanbr> zdzichuBG: Okay. When I last looked at it, it only supported sd and mmc, which are also supported by sdhci. Is that list larger now?
[09:48] <zdzichuBG> XD is goind to be supported, too. probably others
[09:49] <johanbr> zdzichuBG: Do you know if the specs for smartmedia are available? I guess it's not used much anymore, but still... I guess we can forget about memorystick.
[09:50] <zdzichuBG> no, I'm not specialist in memory cards
[09:50] <johanbr> Okay. :)
[11:12] <rrittenhouse> How would I go about to report a bug about kernel 2.6.20-15 on my ubuntu system?
[11:15] <mjg59_> rrittenhouse: bugs.ubuntu.com
[11:16] <rrittenhouse> I mean what package would I submit it to...
[11:17] <rrittenhouse> idk nm let me check it out
[11:20] <rrittenhouse> mjg59_, yeah how do I know what package to report it under?
[11:21] <bdmurray> rrittenhouse: it is dependent on the kernel version it sounds like you need linux-source-2.6.20
[11:21] <rrittenhouse> ah ok wasnt sure if it was linux source or kernel image
[11:21] <rrittenhouse> thanks ;)
