[01:18] <MTecknology> Is there anything special a custom kernel would need to work in 10.10 as opposed to 10.04?
[01:40] <jjohansen> MTecknology: nothing comes to mind, what kind of failure are you seeing
[01:41] <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..
[01:42] <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 ?
[01:43] <MTecknology> that's enabled
[01:44] <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
[01:45] <jjohansen> can you mount from the command line in the initramfs?
[01:46] <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
[01:47] <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?
[01:48] <jjohansen> grub1, or grub2
[01:48] <MTecknology> grub2 - Ubuntu 10.10
[01:48] <MTecknology> root=/dev/sda1
[01:48] <MTecknology> http://dpaste.com/245224/
[01:49] <MTecknology> heh... why doesn't it use the UUID when I run update-grub2?
[01:50] <MTecknology> I'll try with uuis
[01:50] <MTecknology> s/s/d/
[01:50] <jjohansen> hrmm I'm not sure
[01:51] <jjohansen> but if root is manually specified I don't think it will change it
[01:52] <jjohansen> have you tried mounting an ext4 partition as ext2 in 2.6.36?
[01:52] <MTecknology> no
[01:52] <jjohansen> should work but maybe there is a regression there
[01:52]  * jjohansen is just taking stabs in the dark
[01:53] <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
[01:54] <MTecknology> I'll try it with that....
[01:55] <MTecknology> nope
[01:56] <jjohansen> can you try uuid?
[01:57] <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
[01:58] <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
[01:59] <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 
[02:00] <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
[02:01] <MTecknology> ok
[02:01] <jjohansen> okay, I might be back on later
[02:01] <MTecknology> thanks for the help - very much appreciated :)

[16:01] <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"
[16:02] <torti> (i can't type that fast. i copy-and-pasted it, because i initially asked that question in #ubuntu-devel)
[16:50] <bjf[afk]> tgardner: where you at?
[16:51] <tgardner> bjf[afk], slc
[16:51] <bjf[afk]> ah
[16:51] <tgardner> 6 hour layover before tokyo
