jmghello all05:28
jmgwhat is the reference way to build a -generic kernel from the linux-source package?05:29
crimsunapt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)05:35
crimsunthen use debian/rules's target05:36
jmgis that how the pbuilder does it?05:39
crimsunyes05:41
crimsundepending whether you're using feisty or gutsy, you'll need to remove the unneeded configs05:41
crimsunplease see the kernel wiki  (/topic)05:42

crimsunit's very, very experimental.11:45
crimsunlast I used it in the feisty round, it did Interesting Things on several machines running emu10k1- and intel8x0- driven boards.11:45
crimsunI can rerun some tests (and more testing is appreciated), but I don't expect things to have changed much.11:46

shawarmaWas there a recent kernel update for Feisty?06:52
ivoksyes06:54
shawarmaCrap. My girlfriend's laptop doesn't boot anymore.06:54
ivokssda<->hda change06:54
rtgshawarma: If you turn off 'quiet splash' from the grub menu, do you see USB crashes? Or does it just fail to boot?06:56
shawarmartg: It's using lilo..06:56
shawarmartg: ah, and it boots with the old kernel.06:56
shawarmartg: I'll switch to grub, and grab some debug info.06:56
ivokslots of people reported that with new kernel their disks aren't sdx anymore, but hdx...06:57
rtgshawarma: You'll have to ask BenC about that one. I know vanishingly little about lilo.06:57
shawarmartg: Ah, don't worry about that.06:57
shawarmartg: I got it.06:57
rtgivoks: You are talking about the lib-ata transition from edgy to feisty. I think shawarma already had feisty installed.06:57
ivoksno, i'm talking about feisty old kernel to feisty new kernel06:58
ivoksthere are bugs about it06:58
shawarmaNow, that's odd. "No ACPI support in kernel" with the old kernel. There used to be..07:00
shawarmaOh, ffs..07:07
=== pmjdebruijn [n=pmjdebru@ds9.pcode.nl] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
shawarmaThat's odd. It boots just fine with grub.07:15
shawarmaDoes that make any sense at all?07:21
mjg59shawarma: Do you have root=/dev/sda set in lilo.conf?07:22
mjg59Rather than root=uuid=foo?07:22
pkl_shawarma: yup, grub probably uses UUIDs in the meu.lst file, Lilo probably hard codes /dev/sdX07:22
shawarmamjg59: It says root=/dev/hda307:23
mjg59shawarma: That's probably wrong07:23
pkl_shawarma: where is your root partition now?07:23
shawarmamjg59: But lilo shouldn't worry about that, should it? It installed the new kernel while the old one was running.. Looked up /dev/hda3 to be the third partition on the first harddrive and when rebooting it would just use that? Or have I not understood lilo at all?07:24
shawarmapkl_: Interestingly, it's the same.07:24
shawarmapkl_: So nothing has changed w.r.t. device names.07:24
mjg59shawarma: It passes that argument to the kernel07:24
shawarmamjg59: Doh.. Of course.07:25
shawarmamjg59: Nevertheless: It's the same name.07:25
pkl_shawarma: how far does the boot get?  Do you get past the LILO message?07:26
shawarmaWhen I came to the machine it was in an initramfs prompt. When I rebooted it, I got impatient, booted the old kernel and fixed it.. It would have been interesting to find out what went wrong.07:26
shawarmaI suppose I could reinstall lilo just for kicks if you're interested?07:27
pkl_reinstalling lilo would probably make the problem go away anyway.07:27
shawarmaYou think? If I do it with the old kernel running?07:28
pkl_shawarma: hmm, it may not work with the old kernel no.07:30
shawarmaWould it be helpful in any way to get some debugging info this way?07:31
maks_no you should just use uuid ;)07:31
shawarmaYes.. I wonder why it wasn't migrated back in the day.07:32
shawarmaDid we only do it for grub?07:32
maks_afaik lilo is not directly supported07:32
shawarmaraid doesn't work with grub, so it must be supported to some degree.07:32
maks_why shouldn't it work, sure it does with grub07:33
shawarmaHm..07:36
shawarmaI'm *almost* sure the installer falls back to lilo if you're either using xfs or raid (or both).07:36
=== m0rg0th [n=m0rg0th@219.64.120.181] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
maks_grub has the xfs patch07:41
maks_last lilo fallback i know of is when you go all on lvm07:41
shawarmaThat works with grub.07:42
shawarmaI'm almost sure of it.07:43
maks_hehe *almost*07:43
shawarmaI'll try. I've got a feisty install on the way in a virtualbox07:44
JanCgrub works with lvm07:45
JanCbut you need a non-lvm boot partition then  :)07:45
