| MTecknology | Is there anything special a custom kernel would need to work in 10.10 as opposed to 10.04? | 01:18 |
|---|---|---|
| jjohansen | MTecknology: nothing comes to mind, what kind of failure are you seeing | 01:40 |
| MTecknology | jjohansen: I've just been playing around - right now when I boot I get a kernel panic not being able to mount the root fs | 01:41 |
| jjohansen | MTecknology: well you probably need to build it in a Maverick chroot | 01:41 |
| MTecknology | i did that | 01:41 |
| jjohansen | and make sure you have devtmpfs configured | 01:41 |
| MTecknology | probably didn't do that.. | 01:41 |
| jjohansen | hrmm, I thought that was required for Lucid, but maybe it was just a recommends and would fall back to mounting dev on tmpfs | 01:42 |
| MTecknology | oh.. CONFIG_DEVTMPFS ? | 01:42 |
| MTecknology | that's enabled | 01:43 |
| jjohansen | hrmm, perhaps a driver? | 01:44 |
| jjohansen | I am assuming you have the same filesystems | 01:44 |
| MTecknology | ya, I'm using Ext4 for everything | 01:44 |
| jjohansen | can you mount from the command line in the initramfs? | 01:45 |
| MTecknology | I've been building it without initramfs support | 01:46 |
| MTecknology | I was trying to make the smallest little kernel that would work on my system - I was wondering what I could wind up with | 01:46 |
| jjohansen | ah | 01:47 |
| MTecknology | I'm running on the generic kernel now - ran lspci -vvkk and made sure everything that showed up was enabled in the kernel | 01:47 |
| jjohansen | is your grub boot line right for your rootfs | 01:47 |
| jjohansen | are you doing it by dev, uuid? | 01:47 |
| jjohansen | grub1, or grub2 | 01:48 |
| MTecknology | grub2 - Ubuntu 10.10 | 01:48 |
| MTecknology | root=/dev/sda1 | 01:48 |
| MTecknology | http://dpaste.com/245224/ | 01:48 |
| MTecknology | heh... why doesn't it use the UUID when I run update-grub2? | 01:49 |
| MTecknology | I'll try with uuis | 01:50 |
| MTecknology | s/s/d/ | 01:50 |
| jjohansen | hrmm I'm not sure | 01:50 |
| jjohansen | but if root is manually specified I don't think it will change it | 01:51 |
| jjohansen | have you tried mounting an ext4 partition as ext2 in 2.6.36? | 01:52 |
| === warewolf_ is now known as warewolf | ||
| MTecknology | no | 01:52 |
| jjohansen | should work but maybe there is a regression there | 01:52 |
| * jjohansen is just taking stabs in the dark | 01:52 | |
| MTecknology | this is maybe odd though.. when it boots - it shows a listing of partitions - but it's sdb1,2,3,4 | 01:53 |
| MTecknology | there's no sda listed | 01:53 |
| jjohansen | hrmm that would do it | 01:53 |
| jjohansen | I wonder why the ordering changed | 01:53 |
| MTecknology | I'll try it with that.... | 01:54 |
| MTecknology | nope | 01:55 |
| jjohansen | can you try uuid? | 01:56 |
| MTecknology | I did and it didn't work | 01:57 |
| MTecknology | I'd offer my .config but I imagine you're too busy to look at something like that. :P | 01:57 |
| jjohansen | hrmm, is sdb usually listed? | 01:58 |
| MTecknology | I don't know - it was just listed in the kernel panic | 01:58 |
| jjohansen | sadly I am atm, as I am about to leave for dinner | 01:58 |
| jjohansen | can you do it with an initramfs? | 01:59 |
| jjohansen | just as an experiment | 01:59 |
| MTecknology | how do you build it that way? | 01:59 |
| MTecknology | I build without module support too - if that breaks things | 01:59 |
| jjohansen | update-initramfs -k version | 01:59 |
| jjohansen | shouldn't as long as everything you need is compiled in | 02:00 |
| MTecknology | alrighty - I'll rebuild the kernel - toss it in there, then run that | 02:00 |
| MTecknology | I could let you take off for dinner, take a nap, try it, and then bug you if it works or doesn't | 02:00 |
| jjohansen | you'll need to update-grub to so it gets the initramfs line | 02:00 |
| MTecknology | ok | 02:01 |
| jjohansen | okay, I might be back on later | 02:01 |
| MTecknology | thanks for the help - very much appreciated :) | 02:01 |

| torti | hi. in ubuntu 10.10beta when i install linux-source, extract the .tar.bz2, do "make oldconfig" and "make modules_prepare" before installing the vboxdrv (virtualbox 3.2), the resulting vboxdrv.ko has magicversion 2.6.35.4, thus cannot be loaded since the kernel has 2.6.35-22-generic. is this normal in the beta or is this a bug? | 16:01 |
| torti | i think 2.6.35.4 comes from ubuntu's /boot/config-2.6.35-22-generic, because it has: CONFIG_VERSION_SIGNATURE="Ubuntu 2.6.35-22.32-generic 2.6.35.4" | 16:01 |
| torti | (i can't type that fast. i copy-and-pasted it, because i initially asked that question in #ubuntu-devel) | 16:02 |
