[08:18] <slytherin> Can anyone please explain how the default modules to be loaded are decided for a machine? and how are they configured at time of installation?
[11:04] <AbdulHaleem> Hello every one
[11:57] <_ruben> now if only i could figure out which is the most accurate and up-to-date documentation on how to roll your own kernels
[12:52] <Kano> hi, how about some backports from mainline like
[12:52] <Kano> http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=b6ef8836c1ff5199abd40cfba162052bc7e8af00
[12:58] <slytherin> _ruben: What do you mean by roll out?
[13:15] <_ruben> roll, not roll out, roll as in: compile my own .. but i did find some blog post detailing various steps .. if only my (windows) hadnt crashed i would know if the compile was succesful :p
[13:20] <slytherin> _ruben: This is what has worked for me in the past - http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu
[13:21] <slytherin> _ruben: By the way, unless there is custom configuration you want to do you can use mainline kernel builds form here - http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline
[13:22] <_ruben> that's the old way of doing things .. i followed this one (more or less) : http://blog.avirtualhome.com/2009/11/03/how-to-compile-a-kernel-for-ubuntu-karmic/
[13:22] <_ruben> its some (performance) patches for scst i include
[14:15] <apw> Kano, if someone is hitting that issue and files a bug we might do it, or if it gets into .y stable we'll get it for free
[14:16] <gnarl> actually rather, if something like that should go in, it has to go to stable
[18:09] <ogasawara> dtchen_: https://edge.launchpad.net/~stefan-bader-canonical/+archive/karmic/+packages  2.6.31-16.51~pre2 has the 2.6.31.6 patch set incorporated.  just need to wait for it to finish building in the PPA.
[18:48] <gnarl> dtchen_, should be any second
[20:22] <akheron> I upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic and the machine won't boot with the 2.6.31-14 kernel, the Jaunty kernel 2.6.28-16 still works. I'm not sure how to file a bug for this because if I use "ubuntu-bug linux" the report will contain the info of the wrong kernel
[20:25] <akheron> the machine just hangs, and this seems to be related to keyboard, because pressing keys makes the booting proceed in small steps
[20:26] <akheron> somehow I've managed to get into X a few times (once with the live cd), and the keybord didn't work
[20:27] <akheron> mainline 2.6.31.4 seems to work (tried a few times), but mainline 2.6.32rc6 doesn't
[20:40] <tvst> Hi, I'm having some trouble reading data from USB-serial FTDI devices that used to work on 9.04. I was wondering if anyone knows about any change in the kernel/modules that could have caused this...
[20:42] <tvst> It also appears that a vanilla kernel could work, according to this bug report 
[20:42] <tvst> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/474180
[20:42] <ubot3> Malone bug 474180 in linux "[karmic] usbserial regression with MessPC Environment Sensors" [Undecided,New] 
[20:42] <tvst> ^ i just found that :) and posted there.
[20:44] <tvst> is there any additional debugging info i should add to that report?
[20:45] <tvst> (oh, apparently i was replying to a bot. nevermind :) )
[22:42] <dtchen_> ogasawara: great, thank you
[23:04] <amitk> dinh: pushed some hacks to get serial port working
[23:50] <cj> hey all
[23:50] <cj> looking for a kernel for my xen hvm karmic...
[23:51] <cj> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/EC2 <- suggests that such a kernel may exist
