| AStachowski | Hello guys. Could anyone point me in the right direction when it comes to build a recent Lucid kernel for my ppa? I tried it with debuild -S, -S -sd and -S -sa. But none of these seem to work. Is there a special script I need to prepare it? | 14:53 |
|---|---|---|
| tgardner | AStachowski, have you read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelMaintenance ? | 14:56 |
| AStachowski | I think I've forgotten that part if it is necessary: dpkg-buildpackage -S -rfakeroot -I.git -I.gitignore -i'\.git.*' -sa | 14:58 |
| AStachowski | Though I thought it was only necessary for git pulled releases. | 14:59 |
| AStachowski | I think I already read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelMaintenance and thought it would only apply to GIT. Guess I'll try it this evening. ;) | 15:02 |
| JFo | AStachowski, how did you get your source? | 15:03 |
| JFo | did you not use git to pull it? | 15:03 |
| AStachowski | nope | 15:04 |
| AStachowski | I got it by apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r) | 15:04 |
| AStachowski | if git pull is the way to go I don't mind, too. | 15:05 |
| JFo | ah, I see | 15:05 |
| JFo | AStachowski, whatever works for you | 15:06 |
| JFo | but I think I see a need for another set of instructions for folks wanting to pull from there | 15:06 |
| * JFo adds a note to his 'wiki improvements' doc | 15:06 | |
| AStachowski | ;D | 15:07 |
| * peterz fixed /sbin/installkernel and uses make install form the kernel tree ;-) | 15:07 | |
| peterz | all this package nonsense is just that ;-) | 15:08 |
| JFo | :-) | 15:08 |
| AStachowski | I thought I'd finally give something back to the community by building a subflavor of linux-image-generic for SCST -> SRP Target for the Infiniband folks. | 15:08 |
| JFo | AStachowski, a noble gesture ;) | 15:09 |
| persia | Are drivers for that not generally available, or just not built-ins? | 15:09 |
| AStachowski | Infiniband sadly is a bit more complicated than that. | 15:09 |
| amitk | peterz: don't we all wish that all users could compile their own kernels :) | 15:10 |
| AStachowski | there is a standard target daemon in alls linux distros but it genuinely sucks when it comes to larger setups. | 15:10 |
| JFo | amitk, I don't :-D | 15:10 |
| * JFo looks at the bug volume as it is | 15:11 | |
| AStachowski | too many cooks spoil...you know the deal ;) | 15:11 |
| JFo | yep | 15:11 |
| JFo | great minds AStachowski | 15:11 |
| MTecknology | I thoguht apparmor was in the mainline kernel now | 15:35 |
| abogani | peterz: What is the fix for /sbin/installkernel? | 15:36 |
| peterz | abogani: add to the tail: mkinitramfs -o /tmp/initrd.img ${ver}; updatever initrd.img /tmp/initrd.img; update-grub | 15:37 |
| peterz | sometimes I need to hack update-grub too, depending on the crazy ass ideas it gets | 15:38 |
| achiang | peterz: nice. i figured out that i could issue a 'make deb-pkg' from kernel directory, install the deb, and then issue a mkinitramfs, but your way seems much nicer | 15:39 |
| peterz | achiang: make sure to do 'make INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 modules_install' if you use modules | 15:42 |
| peterz | because for some reason mkinitramfs doesn't strip the modules | 15:42 |
| peterz | and you end up with a 100M+ initrd | 15:42 |
| peterz | of course the sane thing to do is not use modules :-) | 15:43 |
| MTecknology | peterz: That REALLY hard to do sometimes though | 15:43 |
| peterz | MTecknology: nah, just don't do silly things like use lvm/crypto/raid root paritions | 15:44 |
| * MTecknology grumbles at one particular module | 15:44 | |
| MTecknology | peterz: I need moduel support for vbox but having module support forces another config to be module instead of built-in | 15:45 |
| achiang | peterz: eh? | 15:45 |
| achiang | achiang@aspen:/boot$ ls -l initrd*34-rc5* | awk '{print $5}' | 15:45 |
| achiang | 3381926 | 15:45 |
| MTecknology | 34 hates my computer it seems | 15:46 |
| achiang | peterz: hm, maybe part of the make deb-pkg magic strips the modules for me, since i don't issue make modules_install directly | 15:46 |
| peterz | MTecknology: ah, out of tree stuff, I don't acknowledge the existance of such | 15:46 |
| peterz | achiang: yeah, I figure it would, also you of course need to start out with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y | 15:47 |
| achiang | peterz: heh. achiang@aspen:~/kernels/linux-2.6$ grep DEBUG_INFO .config | 15:48 |
| achiang | # CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO is not set | 15:48 |
| MTecknology | peterz: that would be awesome if they could have their modules in there | 15:49 |
| peterz | MTecknology: not a chance, the code is alike waaaay ugleh | 15:49 |
| MTecknology | probably | 15:50 |
| cnd | peterz: sorry about the kernel-team list bounces | 15:55 |
| cnd | I think we've got that taken care of, so it shouldn't happen in the future | 15:56 |
| peterz | cnd: awesome | 15:56 |
| cnd | peterz: btw, any more thoughts on the ILB load avg implementation? | 15:56 |
| peterz | cnd: right, so the reason I wante dto share infrastructure with the ILB is because people were looking at making the ILB scale better and its all about NOHZ muck, so it seemed like a nice fit | 15:57 |
| cnd | ahh, ok | 15:57 |
| peterz | cnd: just need to get a spare cycle to sort through all the details, hopefully somewhere later this week | 15:57 |
| cnd | peterz: ok, thanks | 15:58 |

| osmosis | running fresh lucid daily build, I get random lockups. Can't drop to a terminal or anything. | 21:19 |
| osmosis | Im getting an hard freeze on two different laptops. one with 64, other x86. Both running fresh installs of lucid daily builds. | 22:01 |
| bjf | osmosis, please file a _new_ bug against the issue | 22:05 |
| osmosis | bjf, im not sure how to gather any info about the cause of the lockups. | 22:06 |
| bjf | osmosis, will it stay up long enought to run ubuntu-bug on it? | 22:07 |
| osmosis | bjf, cursor stops moving and spinning. CTRL-ALT-F1 for a terminal doesnt work either. | 22:07 |
| bjf | osmosis, had you been running a previous daily build? | 22:07 |
| osmosis | bjf, i had beta2 installed briefly, but did a full format clean install of lucid daily build yesterday. | 22:09 |
| osmosis | bjf, i thought maybe the crash was hardware specific...but I installed on two separate laptops and they both are getting the same issue. And they are very different hardware. | 22:09 |
| bjf | osmosis, what graphics do the two systems have? | 22:11 |
| bjf | osmosis, was beta2 running ok? | 22:12 |
| osmosis | bjf, both are ati ...thought different models. | 22:15 |
| osmosis | bjf, ATI Radeon Express 200 and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670 | 22:17 |
| bjf | osmosis, have you tried booting without "quiet" or "splash" on the kernel boot line? | 22:17 |
| osmosis | bjf, machines come up and are usable. The crash is a randomly triggered lockup...occurring on average every hour or two. | 22:18 |
| bjf | osmosis, then they are up long enough to run ubuntu-bug on and capture the hardware information | 22:19 |
| bjf | osmosis, ubuntu-bug will capture everything you need | 22:19 |
| osmosis | bjf, ok | 22:20 |
| bjf | osmosis, do two separate bugs, one for each system and then let me know the bug numbers | 22:22 |
| bjf | osmosis, thanks | 22:22 |
| cnd | osmosis: you might want to try booting with "pci=nomsi" on the kernel command line | 22:30 |
| cnd | that has fixed some ATI instabilities, and we can add quirks in the kernel for your motherboard if it helps | 22:30 |
| anoteng | Where can I find a detailed list of changes between ubuntu kernels? I'm trying to locate the source of a bug.. | 22:31 |
| osmosis | bjf, here is one, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/568103 | 22:50 |
| ubot3 | Malone bug 568103 in xorg "Xorg freeze lucid daily build ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670" [Undecided,New] | 22:50 |
| bjf | osmosis, did you see the comment from cnd about booting with "pci=nomsi" ? | 22:53 |
| osmosis | bjf, yah | 22:54 |
| bjf | osmosis, that would be good to try | 22:54 |
| osmosis | bjf, cnd: im gonna see if i can get the crash to occur a couple more times first. | 22:54 |
| osmosis | bjf, here is the second, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/568111 | 23:00 |
| ubot3 | Malone bug 568111 in xorg "Xorg freeze dell vostro 1000 lucid daily build ATI Radeon Xpress 200" [Undecided,New] | 23:00 |
| bjf | osmosis, thanks for those | 23:00 |
| osmosis | bjf, was previously on karmic with no such issue. | 23:01 |
| osmosis | on both laptops | 23:01 |
| bjf | osmosis, lots of changes to graphics drivers this round | 23:01 |
