padwanHi!04:35
padwanHow can I build a kernel for kickstart (netboot)?04:36
padwanhttp://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Modify/CustomKernel -- what's the Ubuntu equivalent?04:37
cjwatsonpadwan: the kernel is just the same for Kickstart as for anything else04:46
cjwatsonand you don't need to build it, we ship it04:46
cjwatsonhttp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/04:46
cjwatsonmuch of http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Modify/CustomKernel still applies except that the Ubuntu kernel package spits out udebs by itself04:47
padwancjwatson: can you show me how to build it myself?04:52
padwancjwatson: I took https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/2.6.15-50.61 - well linux-source-2.6.15_2.6.15.orig.tar.gz with #  linux-source-2.6.15_2.6.15-50.61.diff.gz and built my new kernel.04:53
padwancjwatson: Now I want to create a initrd.gz for that specific kernel, with the *fixed* RAID controller module, so that I can install Dapper.04:54
cjwatsonpadwan: just do step 3 from the Debian URL with the debian-installer source package from dapper, then04:57

Dante123hi all.....I'm planning on installing ubuntu for my neighbour....he has an HP Media Centre m7250 with Windows XP Media version on it......I notice that there is a small fat32 partition (HP may have some diagnostice stuff on there) and the rest of the drive is ntfs.......when I install....I don't want to wipe out his windows........and the choices are guided (use entire drive).......guided (use largerst continous free space) and05:08
Dante123manual.......I05:08
Dante123want to give him a 20gb partition........but when I go into Manual.....i get confused.......I tried using gparted and resizing the ntfs partition.... but it wouldn't let me....said there were errors or the drive needs to be checked for errors......any suggestions?05:08
cjwatsonDante123: you'll probably need to take care of that from the Windows05:52
cjwatsonside05:52
cjwatsonDante123: make sure it was unmounted cleanly (i.e. the system was shut down properly), and running scandisk or whatever it is there may help05:52
cjwatsonDante123: there should be more information in /var/log/syslog, which unfortunately isn't really punted through to the UI properly yet05:53
padwancjwatson: yay, I'm winning! :)06:10
padwancjwatson: /usr/dist/BUILD/installer/debian-installer-20051026ubuntu36.6/build# make all_build06:10
padwancjwatson: I've copied all my udebs into localudebs, and06:11
padwan# dpkg --contents localudebs/nic-modules-2.6.15-50-386-di_2.6.15-50.61_i386.udeb |grep bnx06:11
padwan-rw-r--r-- root/root    143086 2007-07-10 15:01:09 ./lib/modules/2.6.15-50-386/kernel/drivers/net/bnx2.ko06:11
padwanbut bnx2.ko is not my netboot/initrd.gz ..06:11
cjwatsoncheck the build log to see if nic-modules really got used, and what version06:15
cjwatsondid you remember to change the configs to 2.6.15-50? they'll use 2.6.15-somethingelse by default06:15
padwanyup, debian/config/i386.cfg06:17
padwanI don't see a build.log, or anything .log :-/06:17
padwanI do see /usr/dist/BUILD/installer/debian-installer-20051026ubuntu36.6/build/tmp/netboot# more udeb.list06:17
padwanand in there there's no mention of nic*06:18
cjwatsonbuild log as in the terminal output06:19
padwan:) let me rebuild06:19
cjwatsonI'm not sure what to say, though - the source lists nic-modules in build/pkg-lists/netboot/i386.cfg06:19
cjwatsonso it should work06:20
padwanNot being included at all it seems.06:33
cjwatsonI think you're in the best position to debug this; http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-updates/main/installer-i386/current/images/MANIFEST.udebs indicates that our netboot images do include nic-modules06:44

superm1evand, i was curious, how do translators get access to the files in debian/po?  are they placed somewhere on launchpad that they log into and add their translations?08:04
superm1(i had someone contact me interested in doing the translations for the mythbuntu frontend in their native language)08:05
