[06:58] <ajonat> hi! I'm building a custom kernel (based on 2.6.24-18-generic) with make-kpkg and while checking the files generated in the .deb, I see no /boot/abi-2.6.24-blahblah, so my question is what's this file for?
[06:59] <ajonat> please point to me the right channel if this isn't where I should ask this question

[20:35] <dvheumen> hi guys, could anyone explain me why the /boot/config-{kernelversion} files have deviating settings from the kernels (last time I used such a config-{version} file it had (almost) all sound support disabled)
[20:35] <crimsun> because sound support (drivers, that is) is in linux-ubuntu-modules, not linux.  You're looking at the config from the latter source package.
[20:36] <dvheumen> ah right, but those config files are not stored in /boot/ right?
[20:37] <crimsun> correct.  See http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-hardy-lum.git;a=tree;f=debian/config;h=bfc00c02a8dfd3c7d06f7417be898c7e6bc76404;hb=HEAD
[20:38] <dvheumen> so if I understand correctly: you're actually building a smaller (stripped) kernel and a separate set of kernel objects for among others sound devices
[20:41] <crimsun> dvheumen: for lum?  No.
[20:42] <crimsun> dvheumen: lum uses linux-headers-*
[20:42] <crimsun> e.g., http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15053052/buildlog_ubuntu-hardy-i386.linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24_2.6.24-19.27_FULLYBUILT.txt.gz
[20:46] <dvheumen> k, tnx, at least now I know I have to check the kernel config before compiling a vanilla kernel :)
[20:47] <dvheumen> I got confused with all the options that were disabled by default
[21:38] <ajonat> Hi! one question: what's /boot/abi-2.6.24-18-generic for? I'm building a custom kernel with make-kpkg and it doesn't generate that abi-2.6.24-blahblah file..
[21:40] <ajonat> Besides, debian's linux-image doesn't come with that file but ubuntu's does..
[21:41] <ajonat> the custom kernel stills boots and works perfectly but i was wondering what was this file..

[22:47] <ajonat> crimsun, thank you!
