DShepherdI am indeed thankful for all the devs that made this possible06:03
ramzaiHello everyone. I have compiled intrepid git kernel with CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=2 AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-generic and made small changes to the source, now I would like to compile kernel once more to test it. How can I do it without redundant recompilations? Repeating debian/rules dh_clean's everything.09:25
trimetaWhat changes were made between the Hardy kernels 2.6.24-23 and 2.6.24-24? Should I reboot my server to take advantage of any security fixes?17:04
trimetaI checked the USN page, but it didn't say anything about kernel security issues in Hardy since USN-751-1, which was over a month ago.17:07
Kanohi, did anybody notice that some staging drivers are never built? like rt28*sta17:29
Kanoin karmic17:29
ramzaiHello everyone. Could someone show me a fast way to recompile kernel source after minor modifications without recompiling literally everything? debian/rules seem to dh_clean everything.17:39
Kanoif you only changed a module you can compile this manually17:40
ramzaiHow can I make debs afterwards?17:42
ramzaiFirst of all, I want to add new module - add new file.c, change Kconfig and Makefile, and enable it in menuconfig.17:43
ramzaijust some kind of a hello_world_module for now, and work on it later. So I'm interested in working on it without waiting for hours for the whole kernel to build)17:46

BuissHi all, i am looking for references and documentations of kernel development functions like kmap, create_proc_entry etc. Is there any ?19:49
Buissalso documentations on definitions like S_IRUGO, S_IFREG19:50
fuadhi all19:59
fuadi am looking for references and documentations of kernel development functions like kmap, create_proc_entry etc. Is there any ? also documentations on definitions like S_IRUGO, S_IFREG. also i have downloaded manpages from kernel.org in tar.gz format. Afetr make install also no manual entry for kmap19:59
Kanoso anybody using aufs or unionfs?20:00
fuadcan somebody help me ?20:01
evantanderseni have a kernel module problem. Whenever i try to load the module, i have to modprobe it then insmod it in order for it to load. Any way around this?20:01
dtchenfuad: see linux-mm.org for kmap documentation. also, mel gorman wrote up a nice document for his master's thesis that's worth reading.20:02
dtchenfuad: more specifically, linux-mm.org/VirtualMemory20:02
dtchenfuad: also see lxr.20:02
evantandersendtchen know anything about my problem?20:03
dtchennot without at least dmesg output if it buggers out the first round. are your module dependencies current?20:03
fuaddtchen:thank you man20:03
dtchenalso, i'm away for a bit now (sorry)20:04
evantandersendtchen sorry, i'm new to linux kernel stuff. How do I do that? sudo modprobe it87 | dmesg       maybe?20:05
trimetaAnyone here know what the difference is between the Hardy kernels 2.6.24-23 and 2.6.24-24 is? I'm wondering how important it is that I reboot my server.20:07
evantandersendtchen Okay, if i just insmod it first, i get this error: "insmod: error inserting 'it87.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module"    When i go to modprobe it i get this: " FATAL: Error inserting it87 (/lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/drivers/hwmon/it87.ko): No such device"20:08
evantandersenbut then if i go back and insmod it again, everything works. Whats going on?20:08
evantandersenanyone?20:16
mib_snc7gbbrsoren: yes it is20:23
sorenmib_snc7gbbr: Then it's not an Ubuntu kernel.20:46
trimetaI hate to repeat myself, but does anyone here know what the difference is between the Hardy kernels 2.6.24-23 and 2.6.24-24? I'm wondering how important it is that I reboot my server.20:47
sorenmib_snc7gbbr: Dapper was 2.6.15, Edgy 2.6.17, Feisty was 2.6.20... None have had 2.6.18.20:48
trimetaWhich section of the Ubuntu forums should I ask my kernel question in? Since no one here knows the answer.21:03
trimetaI'm not sure if it's security-related, since that's part of the answer I don't have.21:03
