[00:33] elements: I did that for a few weeks because the intrepid kernel had support for my wifi - worked fine [00:33] finally I just installed intrepid === doko_ is now known as doko === rikai_ is now known as rikai [16:45] hello, i am having trouble compiling the intrepid git of the kernel. it is giving me an error that i have pasted here: http://pastebin.ca/1196487 does anyone have any ideas? === emma_ is now known as emma [16:49] Syco54645_AAO: did you see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild [16:49] CarlFK: i believe so, let me look at it. [16:51] on step 8 i did not use CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=N, but the rest of it i used [16:51] and it did not work [16:51] the .config file that i am using is from 2.6.24.3 [16:52] you did #5 make oldconfig ? [16:54] yes i did all of the steps up till 8 [16:54] well, try 8 with the CON thing [16:54] ok [16:55] isnt that just to help with compiling though, to speed it up. that line would say not to use any [16:55] i believe [16:56] good point [16:56] iv compiled kernals, but no expert [16:57] well we shall see wat happens [16:57] it is odd that it would fail like that though [16:58] well that didnt even start to compile [16:58] lol [16:58] you might want to try the .27-3 kernel source deb - which might be different [16:58] that's oss [16:58] odd [16:59] i may grab the src deb [16:59] see waht that will do [17:03] well thanks for trying to help [17:03] talking to another one of the kernel team for the aspire one to see what they got [17:04] good luck - sorry i wasn't much help :) [17:05] np [17:05] thanks [17:05] looks like we will need the luck, he is having an issue as well [17:40] hi everyone [17:41] i ve compiled the linux kernel from 2.6 sources ,but i cant get it to work [17:41] it loads everything ,but when mounting the rootfs ,it doesnt recognize the partition [17:42] does anyone have any idea about what am i doing wrong ? [17:46] recognize ? [17:47] can you post your kernel/initrd files somewhere I can try them? [17:47] ok [17:51] infact i didnt make an intrd [17:51] could that be the fault ? [17:52] because i think mouting the rootfs is done before loading initrd in ram ,no ? [17:55] they are on http://radestn.homelinux.org/files/ [17:56] soory they are on http://radestn.homelinux.org/drupal/files/ [17:57] so Carl ? [18:01] getting... [18:02] ok [18:03] um... shouldn't i see vmlunux and initrd.gz ? [18:04] isnt lfskernel. ... the equivalent for vmlinux [18:04] and for the intrd.gz ,i said i didnt update the initramfs [18:04] may be that's the error [18:05] put up what you are using [18:07] well now am using windows -the new grub couldn't load the old ubuntu either ,but i can see the files from windows [18:07] i ll uppload the old ones -the workling ones [18:07] where working = doesnt recognize the partition, right? [18:09] here is the situation : [18:09] i have a ubuntu hardy that works fine [18:09] i tried to compile the kernel on a different partition ,and i updated the grub [18:10] when rebboted ,the kernel cant mount the partition of the new rootfs -where i put the new kernel [18:10] and even when i make grub >find /boot/grub/stage1 [18:11] i get (hd0,1) ==> the working ubuntu [18:11] and (hd0,2) ==> here i put the new kernel ,with a new filesystem [18:11] so i make root(hd0,1) ,i wanted to recover the old one [18:12] and i did : grub>kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.26.24-generic root=/dev/sda2 ro single [18:12] but it says /dev/sda2 unrecognized === chuck_ is now known as uzl === uzl is now known as zul [18:13] NB: i did grub> setup after doing (root(hd0,1) ) [18:13] do you get the situation ? [18:14] not exactly - what happened to initrd.gz ? [18:14] something like initrd.img-2.6.24-19-generic [18:15] i have initrd.img on / -on the working system root [18:15] ohh [18:15] yes i have initrd.img-2.6.24 [18:15] yes i have initrd.img-2.6.24-generic [18:16] are you using it? [18:16] am checking [18:16] here is my menu.lst [18:16] #Begin /boot/grub/menu.lst [18:16] #By default boot the first menu entry [18:16] default 0 [18:16] #Allow 30 seconds before booting the default [18:16] timeout 30 [18:16] Use prettier colors [18:16] color green/black light-green/black [18:17] #The first entry is for LFS [18:17] title LFS 6.3 [18:17] root (hd0,2) [18:17] make [18:17] it [18:17] kernel /boot/lfskernel-2.6.22.5 root=/dev/sda3 [18:17] stop [18:17] #The original Working system for backup [18:17] title Ubuntu Hardy [18:17] root (hd0,1) [18:17] kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic [18:17] root=UUID=dd3c2ea0-b194-4e4e-b4c1-3f4a1dec9a33 ro quiet splash [18:17] initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-19-generic [18:17] # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux [18:17] clsoe the chat window [18:17] OS [18:17] # on /dev/sda1 [18:17] title Windows Vista/Longhorn (loader) [18:17] root (hd0,0) [18:17] savedefault [18:17] makeactive [18:17] chainloader +1 [18:17] stop what ? [18:17] why ? [18:17] am i flooding ? [18:17] yes [18:17] ok [18:18] oh boy. [18:18] is it ok ,now ? [18:18] yeah - use a paste bin [18:18] i dont know how to do it [18:18] i ll put it on the address i gave you [18:19] http://dpaste.com/ [18:19] hit that, paste, hit "Paste it", cut/paste the resuling url here [18:19] http://dpaste.com/76491/ [18:20] i tried replacing root=UUID=dd3c2ea0-b194-4e4e-b4c1-3f4a1dec9a3 with root=/dev/sda2 ,but didnt work [18:20] you probably need a initrd, unless you complied in the fs drivers [18:21] in that case why i sdint work with ubuntu too ? [18:21] huh? [18:22] i tried loading the second option (working ubuntu ..) but the kernel says unable to find device /dev/sda2 [18:26] i upload the old working kernel and initrd [18:26] put those 2 files on your site [18:26] good :) [18:26] do you want the old device map? [18:27] it's there too [18:28] nope [18:29] ok now [18:33] are you trying to boot from those files ? [18:33] http://dev.personnelware.com/carl/a/qemu1.png [18:33] thats what I get with lfskernel-2.6.22.5 [18:34] yes except the block is(0,0) [18:35] oh right - i forgot root=/dev/sda3 - jsut to be sure ill try that [18:35] ok [18:35] although it is pretty clear you need the fs drivers [18:35] do you know what 's that EDD error ? [18:35] wait ill google on it [18:37] you get nothing after "available partitions: " right? [18:37] yes [18:37] i got nothing [18:38] yeah - thats cuz you don't have any drivers - which are typically in initrd [18:40] ok i ll update initramfs and try again [18:40] initrd is a ram disk that the kernel knows how to read - the drivers could also be included in the kernel, but that makes it bigger and stuff (exactly why initrd is used gets complicated.) [18:40] also, you can use qemu to test [18:40] i guess intirrd is a minimal ramfs ,that the kernel uses to load and mount the original one [18:40] am i right ? [18:41] right [18:41] am on windows right now*i just have virtualbox [18:41] i ll boot on grub [18:41] and try to recover the old one [18:41] juser@dhcp85:~/a/radestn$ qemu -kernel vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic -initrd initrd.img-2.6.24-19-generic hda.qcow2 [18:41] and then chroot and update initramfs [18:42] little easier than having to get the files in/out of the VM disk [18:42] yeah [18:42] i think virtualbox might be based on qemu, so you may already have qemu [18:43] virtualbox is not done with qt [18:43] so they are not really the same [18:43] anyway ,i ll reboot [18:43] and try to recover [18:43] Thank you very much for your help :-) [18:43] have a good day / nice dreams :-) [18:44] good luck [18:44] Thank you :-) [18:49] <_ruben> hmm .. cant seem to find any more indepth info on how to build source package for use with module-assistant, other than /usr/share/doc/module-assistant/HOWTO-DEVEL.gz
