| spO | is some special action needed if i installed a 2.6.30 kernel on a 2.6.28 system ? | 00:54 |
|---|---|---|
| dtchen | no, why? | 00:55 |
| spO | my system is not loading | 00:56 |
| spO | i guess it is because of my video card driver then | 00:56 |
| spO | ie, it is not installed correctly | 00:56 |
| spO | is there a way to go into console rather than desktop mode at booting time? | 00:57 |
| dtchen | it should fall back to that automagically. | 00:57 |
| dtchen | if it doesn't, choose the rescue option in the boot loader | 01:01 |
| spO | i am using my old kernel now | 01:04 |
| spO | i installed a new kernel 2.6.30 over a 2.6.28 system | 01:04 |
| spO | but it doesn't boot right | 01:04 |
| spO | dtchen | 01:13 |
| spO | if i use a custom kernel | 01:13 |
| spO | that means my ati drivers will not work, right | 01:13 |
| spO | but how can i compile new ati drivers unless i run the kernel | 01:14 |
| spO | and how can i use the kernel if ati drivers dont work | 01:14 |
| dtchen | it means you likely need to recompile them, assuming you're using the dkmsized ones | 01:14 |
| dtchen | make sure you have kernel headers for your new 2.6.30 installed, too | 01:14 |
| dtchen | anyhow, this discussion isn't kernel development-related. i'm happy to help you in another channel or private message. | 01:15 |
| spO | what channel talks about custom kernel? | 01:38 |
| spO | #ubuntu has people who never made a custom kernel mostly | 01:38 |
| dtchen | as in user-created custom kernels? none, really. some people will help in #ubuntu or #ubuntu+1 | 01:39 |
| spO | the problem with my new kernel happens when i it tries to mount my disk drive, the whole disk by uuid does not work well or i didn't configure something | 01:40 |
| spO | i will try to compile a new kernel | 01:40 |
| spO | what are headers exaclty>? | 01:52 |
| spO | what did you mean when you said dkmsized ? | 01:59 |
| spO | is there a list of information about each kernel option in detail? | 02:11 |
| spO | so i tried to run a kernel that does not have journal file system support, but i guess ubuntu doesn't like that , ie it won't run.... Why does ubuntu use journal file system anyways?? I don't want to create a journal nor do i need a whole file system to do that. | 04:21 |
| spO | JFS was not made for being a OS fs , why is it being used for that now... people cannot create something that is more effective or efficent? | 05:10 |
| spO | If i make a custom kernel, such as kernel 2.6.30-4 , how do i install ATI drivers for that kernel? they are not working right for me | 08:58 |

| bjsnider | i thought ben collins headed the kernel team, but on the wiki page it says someone else does | 19:39 |
| ScottK | bjsnider: He did, but pgraner does now. No idea why. | 20:12 |
