| imbrandon | hrm do i need to recompile the kernel for a new fs driver or just get the headers ? | 00:22 |
|---|---|---|
| crimsun | neither. The headers are installed by default. | 00:22 |
| crimsun | (also presuming you've just grabbed source and are compiling modules) | 00:23 |
| imbrandon | hrm well no this is a not included module , expirmental fatx fs | 00:23 |
| imbrandon | i've done _very_ little kernel hacking specialy the "ubuntu way" so i'm kinda winging it here | 00:25 |
| crimsun | depending on the invasiveness, you may well need to patch the source | 00:25 |
| imbrandon | crimsun, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41773/ | 00:26 |
| imbrandon | here is what i have | 00:27 |
| imbrandon | i was hoping to just compile it with the headers and modprobe it, but something is telling me it wont be that simple | 00:28 |
| imbrandon | ( btw this patch was ripped from a fedora6 kernel svn ) | 00:29 |
| crimsun | ok, on a slow connection | 00:30 |
| imbrandon | np, i'm on a slow computer ( 200mhz ) so this might take a while :) | 00:31 |
| imbrandon | i'm reading through the customcompile wiki now | 00:33 |
| crimsun | right, that's not going to just drop in easily | 00:34 |
| imbrandon | hrm the wiki says grab apt-get source linux-source , which grabs the meta package and no source tar only a debian/ dir with the various configs | 00:38 |
| crimsun | you want `apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)` | 00:38 |
| crimsun | (linux-source's source package is linux-meta, not linux-source-2.6.22) | 00:39 |
| imbrandon | ahh darn wiki | 00:40 |
| imbrandon | crimsun, after i do that can i just debuild it ? | 00:53 |
| imbrandon | what about lrm and the other meta stuff | 00:54 |
| === chuck is now known as zul | ||
| crimsun | imbrandon: you can use the packaging infrastructure, yes. Just pull source for l-u-m/l-r-m/l-b-m and do the fun. | 00:55 |
| imbrandon | erm but if the configs are in the linux-meta but the source is in linux-image-* | 00:56 |
| imbrandon | i'm a bit confused | 00:56 |
| imbrandon | i have both apt-get sourced in diffrent dirs, and the patch seemed to apply to the -image- fine | 00:57 |
| imbrandon | but i'm trying to build it the exact ubuntu way ( sa as to redistribute or upload ot a ppa maybe ) | 00:57 |
| imbrandon | so i'm assuming i need to debuild (-us -uc) the linux-image then install it then rebuild the meta ? | 01:01 |
| zul | imbrandon: what are you on about? :) | 01:02 |
| imbrandon | haha zul i'm trying to do some leg work for you | 01:03 |
| imbrandon | i got a patch, but i'm clueless how to build a proper ubuntu kernel, only the old vanilla way | 01:03 |
| zul | oh thanks :) | 01:04 |
| zul | well i could create a debdiff for you | 01:04 |
| imbrandon | zul did you see the fatx.img gave you | 01:04 |
| zul | imbrandon: nope thats from work puter, im at home now | 01:04 |
| imbrandon | http://www.imbrandon.com/misc/fatx_test.img.gz | 01:05 |
| imbrandon | its 260mb uncompressed, its a streight dd of one of my xbox memory cards | 01:05 |
| imbrandon | so it might have some game saves on it | 01:05 |
| imbrandon | infact i know it does | 01:05 |
| crimsun | imbrandon: are you using wiki/KernelCustomBuild? | 01:06 |
| imbrandon | crimsun, i was, seems some steps are missing | 01:06 |
| zul | downloading now | 01:06 |
| imbrandon | zul here is the patch, you might have to cherry pick just the fatx fs though and watch out for the included config , that will make the kernel only boot on a xbox | 01:07 |
| imbrandon | http://www.not404.com/system/files/2.6.22.1.tar.bz2 | 01:07 |
| imbrandon | shouldent be hard to just grab the fs/ though out of that i assume | 01:08 |
| zul | imbrandonL is it the whole thing? or just the patch? | 01:08 |
| imbrandon | its a pretty small patch | 01:08 |
| imbrandon | just the patch | 01:08 |
| imbrandon | its actualy a patch to include fatx AND make the kernel boot on an xbox if #ifdef X86_XBOX = y , i was looking to just grab the FS | 01:09 |
| imbrandon | if possible | 01:09 |
| imbrandon | ( the other stuff is some pci patches | 01:09 |
| imbrandon | ) | 01:09 |
| zul | so you just want the fatx stuff? | 01:09 |
| imbrandon | yup | 01:09 |
| zul | ok gimme a bit | 01:10 |
| imbrandon | basicly so ubuntu can read fatx hdd's and memory cards ( usb devices ) ootb | 01:10 |
| imbrandon | this is actualy being looked at upstream on lkml but i'm trying to preempt it a bit | 01:11 |
| zul | ill make a patch for lum-2.6.22 | 01:11 |
| Nafallo | anyone here? | 03:11 |

| thr1lljockey | is there something special i need to do somewhere to boot a custom kernel *without* a ramfs/initrd? | 08:53 |
| nevion_ | afaik you just put it in its own section in grub without the initrd option | 08:53 |
| nevion_ | and it should boot fine | 08:53 |
| n2diy_ | thrilljockey owes me a beer. ? | 08:54 |
| nevion_ | whatever happened with this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/133636 | 08:55 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 133636 in linux-source-2.6.22 "[gutsy] hdaps module does not load on Thinkpad T61P" [Low,New] | 08:55 |
| nevion_ | it was so close to being fixed... and then it just stopped.. | 08:55 |
| thr1lljockey | i get a panic at root device mount | 08:56 |
| nevion_ | make sure you had your needed fs modules compiled in | 08:57 |
| thr1lljockey | cannot open root device "UUID=blahblah" | 08:57 |
| nevion_ | as well as any other thing you need to read off the hd | 08:57 |
| nevion_ | consider starting with ubuntu's configuration and slowly triming it down to yours | 08:57 |
| thr1lljockey | everything necessary is compiled-in (aside from uuid support, evidently) | 08:58 |
| Mithrandir | the kernel doesn't do UUID mounting natively. | 08:58 |
| Mithrandir | so you need to pass root=/dev/whatever | 08:58 |
| Mithrandir | but why do you want to avoid initramfs? | 08:58 |
| thr1lljockey | working on an embedded install | 08:58 |
| thr1lljockey | and i guess my latent instincts for defiance beg the question, 'why do i need one?' | 08:59 |
| thr1lljockey | hehe | 08:59 |
| nevion_ | anyone know what the status is with x86_64 getting config_no_hz set? From what I can see, its been available and functional for a while | 09:01 |
| Mithrandir | because it makes it easier to rescue a broken system, it adds uuid support, etc. | 09:01 |
| thr1lljockey | with the ability to boot from a livecd, for example, i'm not convinced i need a 'recovery-boot' option | 09:02 |
| thr1lljockey | (personally, of course...) | 09:02 |
| nevion_ | keeps you from having to compile kernel n^2 times | 09:02 |
| nevion_ | so you can find out what modules you need to have loaded at boot time easier | 09:02 |
| nevion_ | so its not needed... but adds convenience in that sense | 09:03 |
| thr1lljockey | i know there's a wealth of reasons from a distribution standpoint; i'm not trying to be antagonistic or anything | 09:03 |
| thr1lljockey | i just prefer not to use them myself is all | 09:03 |
| thr1lljockey | and thanks for the tip about uuid being handled in the initrd, i fixed menu.lst and i'm up and running now | 09:04 |
| Mithrandir | not initrd. initramfs. | 09:04 |
| Mithrandir | Ubuntu hasn't used initrds since 5.10 | 09:04 |
| nevion_ | conceptually the same, but different details, right? | 09:05 |
| thr1lljockey | sorry, old habit | 09:05 |
| Mithrandir | quite different. tmpfs instead of ramfs, no pivot_root, for instance. | 09:06 |
| thr1lljockey | initramfs is faster and causes less litter in kernelspace, isn't it? | 09:06 |
| Mithrandir | much less stuff done in kernelspace. | 09:06 |
| nevion_ | damn though, I'm having a hell of a time finding any info about x86_64 and tickless/dynticks/config_no_hz | 09:06 |
| thr1lljockey | i thought tickless systems were basically broken until .24? | 09:08 |
| nevion_ | I read some blurb about that in july from linus... but ingo molnar's had it working since that time pretty much | 09:09 |
| thr1lljockey | btw n2diy_ yes i owe you a beer | 09:09 |
| nevion_ | I think redhat's picked it up by now, not too sure | 09:09 |
| thr1lljockey | there's likely a backport | 09:09 |
| nevion_ | like I said, I've had a hell of a time getting details | 09:09 |
| n2diy_ | thrilljockey Cool, GL! | 09:12 |
| maks_ | thr1lljockey: initramfs get control much early, you can costumize them much better if you wana checkout latest intramfs-tools git clone git://git.debian.org/git/kernel/initramfs-tools.git but pay attention it does not yet have the dpkg trigger set as dpkg has not merged that feature | 09:15 |
| thr1lljockey | thanks! i'm willing to be convinced that initramfs is not as undesirable as i used to think... i'll look into it | 09:19 |
| imbrandon | zul_, bro i got fatx working :) | 10:05 |

| Whoopie | hi, I've a short question: when compiling a custom kernel, do I need to add the apparmor patch to it? | 10:22 |
| amitk | Whoopie: why do you say so? Apparmor is in LUM | 10:26 |
| abogani | Hi All, Someone know and could tell me if Ubuntu Gutsy kernel support "Filesystem Capabilities" ? Thanks in advance! | 10:29 |
| Whoopie | amitk: yes, but I have built a 2.6.23.1 kernel, and I'd like to know if the apparmor module is needed. | 10:31 |
| Nafallo | Suggestion: Enable USB autosuspend by pressing the U key or adding | 10:31 |
| Nafallo | usbcore.autosuspend=1 to the kernel command line in the grub config | 10:31 |
| Nafallo | [ 0.000000] Unknown boot option `usbcore.autosuspend=1': ignoring | 10:31 |
| maks_ | Whoopie: if you care about security you'd want to use selinux anyway | 10:32 |
| Whoopie | maks_: but ubuntu is based on apparmor, isn't it? | 10:37 |
| Whoopie | and there're some rules for cups. | 10:37 |
| Mithrandir | Whoopie: there's no requirement to use apparmour with Ubuntu. | 10:37 |
| Whoopie | Mithrandir: so it's not activated by default? why do we have /etc/apparmor and /etc/apparmor.d ? | 10:39 |
| Mithrandir | Whoopie: note: requirement. As in, you can run without it. | 10:41 |
| amitk | Nafallo: see bug #85488 | 10:43 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 85488 in sane-backends "some usb_devices fault if usb_suspend enabled" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/85488 | 10:43 |
| amitk | Nafallo: autosuspend was disabled for all non-hub devices | 10:44 |
| Nafallo | amitk: so I can't enable it by force? | 10:50 |
| pina | is it just me or ubuntu's aptitude's TUI is obtuse and IMO, counterintuitive | 10:59 |

| Whoopie | Mithrandir: ok, thanks. | 11:09 |

| amitk | type ^^^ command | 11:26 |
| Nafallo | hehe. so /etc/sysctl.conf rather then /boot/grub/menu.lst then? ;-) | 11:27 |
| amitk | Nafallo: umm.. no. /etc/sysctl.conf can only address runtime parameters in /proc/sys | 11:29 |
| Nafallo | ah right... so /etc/rc.local? | 11:29 |
