| janimo | jjohansen, apw is the last section of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/KernelGitGuide uptodate? | 07:36 |
| janimo | I'd like to import a new tree based on 2.6.38 and I am not sure if cloning the oneiric ubuntu tree is recommended or not | 07:36 |
| janimo | in order to save space | 07:37 |
| janimo | this is the linux-ac100 tree based on an upstream that is not on kernel.org | 07:37 |
| apw | janimo, if the repo is going to just be a clone of mainline, then you might want to clone from the linux repo instead of ubuntu | 07:42 |
| apw | (there is a local mirror of that in the ubuntu/ directory too) | 07:42 |
| janimo | apw, not a clone of mainline, but of a gitorious based fork of the chromeos kernel | 07:42 |
| apw | janimo, the nearest base would be linus there i assume, not ours as we have junk on top | 07:43 |
| * apw makes sure our linus is up to date ... is now | 07:43 | |
| janimo | so clone the bare repo off /srv/kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux-2.6/ ? | 07:45 |
| jjohansen | janimo: where is the clone going to live? | 08:06 |
| janimo | jjohansen, in git/jani/ubuntu-ac100 . I cloned and moved it there already | 08:07 |
| janimo | just not pushed anything to it yet | 08:07 |
| jjohansen | janimo: ah okay, yeah I would clone off of something close in /srv | 08:08 |

| tkamppeter | I have an old 32-bit HP Compaq 12-inch laptop and it does not boot with the 3.0.0-12 kernel, but only with the last Natty kernel. How to report a bug/debug this? | 09:56 |
| smb | tkamppeter, I suppose you still get to the grub screen where you could try to replace "quiet" with "debug" and remove the "splash" to potentially get a bit more output before it gets stuck. Then I would open the bug with "ubuntu-bug linux" from the last working natty boot and edit the description to say it is not booting with 3.0 | 11:25 |
| smb | If you can get any messages from the failed boot, those should get added, too | 11:26 |
| tkamppeter | smb, thank I will try. In which files kernel boot messages get logged? And are they conserved if I boot a Natty kernel after the crash? | 11:51 |
| smb | tkamppeter, This depends on how far you actually get in the boot. There may be a good chance that it is not far enough (otherwise those would go into /var/log/syslog). If there is nothing but something on the screen, take a picture and attach the jpeg... | 11:54 |
| Kano | hi, will 3.1-rc9 build soon? | 12:03 |
| Kano | also i would like to know when 3.0.6 wil be merged to oneirc (+3 dvb patches) | 12:03 |
| tkamppeter | smb, it seems not to be able to mount the root file system. It says something like | 12:04 |
| tkamppeter | smb, Kernel Panic - Not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) | 12:05 |
| tkamppeter | smb, Pid: , comm: swapper Not Tainted 3.0.0-12-generic #19-Ubuntu | 12:06 |
| tkamppeter | smb, sorry, Pid: 1, ... | 12:06 |
| smb | tkamppeter, Hm, does this actually happen quite quickly? I begin to think there may be something wrong with the initrd file | 12:06 |
| tkamppeter | smb, yes, it appears immediately. | 12:07 |
| tkamppeter | So I have the Grub menu, press 'b' after changing to the debug settings, and the crash output immediately shows up. | 12:08 |
| smb | tkamppeter, When you boot back into natty and check /boot, is there a initrd-3.0.0-12-generic or so | 12:08 |
| tkamppeter | The Natty kernel (with Oneiric as user space) bootes perfectly. | 12:08 |
| apw | commit 512228f0be3af44bf5cf6cc5750ddd279bbedaf3 | 12:09 |
| apw | Author: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> | 12:09 |
| smb | tkamppeter, Also could it be you got /boot on a different fs (which may be full, thus preventing to have a valid new initrd) | 12:09 |

| tkamppeter | smb ^is it a problem that there is only an "initrd.img" file? | 12:10 |
| smb | tkamppeter, No, the filename looks ok | 12:10 |
| smb | (just remembered it wrongly) | 12:10 |
| tkamppeter | smb, no, my /boot is on the root partition and has 2.5G free. | 12:11 |

| tkamppeter | till@till-laptop:~$ | 12:11 |
| smb | tkamppeter, ok... One thing to try: boot natty and then | 12:11 |
| smb | sudo update-initramfs -u -k 3.0.0-12-generic | 12:12 |
| smb | (I hope) | 12:12 |
| smb | and after that a | 12:12 |
| smb | sudo update-grub | 12:12 |
| tkamppeter | OK, did it. | 12:13 |
| smb | tkamppeter, Anything sounded like an error message? | 12:13 |
| tkamppeter | But now I have a debconf menu. | 12:13 |
| tkamppeter | 1. install the package maintainer's version | 12:13 |
| apw | tkamppeter, when you have a prompt find out which driver is running your disks | 12:13 |
| tkamppeter | 2. keep the local version currently installed | 12:13 |
| tkamppeter | 3. show a side-by-side difference between the versions | 12:14 |
| apw | tkamppeter, does it tell you what this version is of ? | 12:14 |
| smb | apw, Sounds rather like a modified /etc/default/grub | 12:14 |
| apw | yeah could be | 12:14 |
| tkamppeter | 4. show a 3-way difference between available versions | 12:14 |
| tkamppeter | 5. do a 3-way merge between available versions (experimental) | 12:14 |
| tkamppeter | 6. start a new shell to examine the situation | 12:15 |
| smb | tkamppeter, I'd probably look at 3 and see what is changed | 12:15 |
| smb | apw, Just a bit strange that this did not happen on any upgrade before... | 12:16 |
| tkamppeter | apw, smb: It has only two "initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-12-generic" lines added at two points. | 12:17 |
| apw | then its not /etc/default/grub | 12:18 |
| smb | tkamppeter, Hrrrm, are you by chance still using grub1 | 12:18 |
| apw | grub1 ?!?! | 12:18 |
| smb | apw, If you upgraded only for a long time grub2 is not enforced | 12:18 |
| apw | gurgle | 12:18 |
| tkamppeter | smb, this is possible. The computer is 6 years old and I have never done a fresh install, only updates. It must have gone through 12 Ubuntus. | 12:19 |
| ogra_ | iirc there is a wiki howto about manually upgrading to grub2 for such cases | 12:19 |
| tkamppeter | So I need to upgrade to Grub2, how do I do this? | 12:19 |
| smb | tkamppeter, And if you use grub one, better say take maintainers version | 12:20 |
| smb | (cause if one once says stick with mine, then you stick forever...) | 12:20 |
| ogra_ | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Upgrading_to_GRUB_2_From_GRUB | 12:20 |
| tkamppeter | smb, I have done so. No more prompts, should I try to reboot? | 12:21 |
| tkamppeter | ogra_, thanks. | 12:21 |
| smb | tkamppeter, You could do a quick visual check of /boot/grub/menu.cfg | 12:21 |
| smb | whether it looks sane | 12:21 |
| smb | But I guess your problem where those two missing initrd lines | 12:22 |
| tkamppeter | smb, i have no /boot/grub/menu.cfg | 12:27 |
| smb | tkamppeter, So yes, for the future, you may want to consider upgrading to grub2. Even if that means learning a new configuration language... | 12:27 |
| smb | tkamppeter, Something starting with menu? Oh, maybe .lst | 12:28 |
| * smb ususally types menu.<tab>... | 12:28 | |
| tkamppeter | ok, looks nice, contains many kernels. | 12:29 |
| smb | ... grub2 is grub.cfg, so I likely mixed them up | 12:29 |
| smb | tkamppeter, Then try a boot | 12:29 |
| tkamppeter | smb, I am doing so and it seems that it works. | 12:30 |
| smb | tkamppeter, Good, if uname -a of the booted kernel says 3.0.0-12-generic you are good | 12:31 |
| smb | So it seems for some reason you had the kernel lines but not the initrd ones. | 12:32 |
| tkamppeter | smb, it booted the new kernel but the user space of Ubuntu 6.10. | 12:34 |
| smb | 6.10 ??? | 12:34 |
| * smb wonders how exactly tkamppeter does updates... | 12:34 | |
| tkamppeter | It probably booted a wrong partition. Didi not know that I had such an old partition around. | 12:36 |
| apw | is that _edgy_ ? | 12:36 |
| tkamppeter | Can be, was the first version where I worked at Ubuntu. I started mid-2006. | 12:37 |
| tkamppeter | Natty kernel boots Oneiric. | 12:37 |
| smb | If I remember the magics of grub1 correctly then, there is a commented out line in menu.lst which says root=<something> which is used as a template for all of the grub entries later... | 12:37 |
| smb | Though I thought that update-grub would take that and make them all boot the same partition somehow. | 12:38 |
| smb | Though that could be different for anything below a certain "not automatically done" marker somehow | 12:38 |
| smb | But I have not really looked closely for a long time | 12:39 |
| * smb thinks maybe one of the magic Colin's may remember out of their head | 12:40 | |
| tkamppeter | When I go through the boot menu entries and press e for edit on them, both Oneiric and Natty kernels have roo=(0,6). | 12:40 |
| apw | ouch | 12:40 |
| smb | apw, Yes that were those dark times without uuid | 12:41 |
| tkamppeter | ## default grub root device | 12:42 |
| tkamppeter | ## e.g. groot=(hd0,0) | 12:42 |
| tkamppeter | # groot=(hd0,6) | 12:42 |
| tkamppeter | And hd0,6 is the edgy partition. | 12:43 |
| smb | Hm, right, so one (well at least me) would expect all boot lines to use 0,6 now... | 12:43 |
| ogra_ | apw, 6.10 is dapper (the only 04 release that was delayed ;) ) | 12:44 |
| tkamppeter | The right one is /dev/sda7 | 12:44 |
| apw | ogra_, na that was 6.06 | 12:44 |
| ogra_ | hrm, we only had one 06 releaase ever | 12:44 |
| ogra_ | 06.xx i should say | 12:45 |
| tkamppeter | Should I try s/(hd0,6)/(hd0,7)/ | 12:45 |
| ogra_ | oh, heh, ignore me | 12:46 |
| * ogra_ needs to not read that RTL | 12:46 | |
| tkamppeter | apw, smb: ^^ | 12:46 |
| tgardner | ogasawara, this 3.0.6 stable update is giving me some weird crashes on my HP mini-10 | 12:47 |
| smb | tkamppeter, I probably would try that on a single boot instance first, then change the groot line and run update-grub again | 12:47 |
| smb | tkamppeter, After you tested the single changed one | 12:47 |
| smb | tkamppeter, It probably asks you then again whether you want to keep your version or take the new one (which then again has to be answered with "the maintainers version2 | 12:48 |
| tkamppeter | smb, too late, now its broken down, as this old box does not contain anything important any more and has space waisted by unneeded partitions, I should do a from-scratch installation on it. | 12:50 |
| tkamppeter | smb, instead of trying to break Update records. 5 years are enough. | 12:51 |
| tkamppeter | Buth thanks anyway. | 12:51 |
| smb | tkamppeter, Well, at least there was not kernel problem... | 12:52 |
| ogasawara | tgardner: hrm, I've been running it on my adamo and not seeing any issues. I'll put it on my mini and see if I can reproduce. | 13:05 |
| tgardner | ogasawara, look through your dmesg closely. I've gotten some random oops that weren't reported right away. | 13:08 |
| apw | ogra_, | 13:11 |
| ogra_ | thats me ! | 13:11 |
| apw | stupid paste | 13:11 |
| apw | there were two in 06 | 13:11 |
| apw | dapper and edgy | 13:11 |
| ogra_ | yeah, i read it RTL :) | 13:11 |
| * ogra_ must have catches a chinese bug or so | 13:12 | |
| ogra_ | *catched | 13:12 |
| apw | heh | 13:12 |
| apw | tgardner, hey did you push your hardy tree last night, there seems to be a CVE missing from it | 13:21 |
| tgardner | apw, Everything up-to-date | 13:21 |
| tgardner | whats missing ? | 13:21 |
| apw | tgardner, ahhh my fault, i see why its gone wrong | 13:21 |
| apw | just not told the tracker enough things | 13:22 |
| tgardner | ogasawara, rebased P to v3.1-rc9 | 13:53 |
| ogasawara | tgardner: awesome thanks | 13:53 |
| sconklin | tgardner, I think I understand the versioning stuff now, and I've moved past tilting at that windmill, so we'll move on to fixing the tools. | 14:21 |
| tgardner | sconklin, good. I'll be bisecting the stable update before I publish it in order to find the regression oops I'm having. | 14:22 |
| ogasawara | tgardner: my mini panics on boot and hangs, looks to be somethings with the i915 driver for me | 14:24 |
| ogasawara | tgardner: am going to bisect as well | 14:24 |
| tgardner | ogasawara, so you've got something to keep you busy today :) | 14:24 |

| lamont | that system is rather memory constrained, currently has a frozen mouse on a black screen, and thought it was running apport to report lpstat dying on sigsegv | 15:22 |

| ogasawara | reverting that fixes it | 17:31 |
| tgardner | ogasawara, tahts about the same conclusion I was coming to | 17:32 |
| tgardner | ogasawara, since it was purely for performance I vote we revert it and make apw work on it a bit more | 17:34 |
| ogasawara | tgardner: +1 | 17:34 |
| tgardner | ogasawara, actually, since its still in master-next we could just rebase it out of existence | 17:35 |
| ogasawara | tgardner: that works for me too | 17:35 |
| tgardner | sconklin, did you ever get versioning working so I can create a stable tracking bug for oneiric ? | 17:38 |
| apw | tgardner, ogasawara, yep one reason i was happy it got a bit more testing before upload | 17:39 |
| apw | concur with rebasing it out of the history, its never been uploaded | 17:40 |
| sconklin | tgardner, working on it now. LP staging system is down, so I'm going to have to test on the live LP. | 17:40 |
| sconklin | should have it for you soon | 17:40 |

| tgardner | now, back to testing stable | 17:49 |
| tgardner | apw, ogasawara, I've been messing with 'make dpkg-deb' in the upstream kernel. It works pretty well for bisecting. | 18:00 |
| sconklin | tgardner, it's a little more difficult than I thought. | 18:00 |
| ogasawara | tgardner: cool, for mainline I usually use apw's mainline-build-once script when bisecting | 18:01 |
| tgardner | ogasawara, I like the upstream method since you don't have to rebuild the whole kernel every time. | 18:03 |
| * tgardner -> lunch | 18:06 | |

| cyphermox | ogasawara: ok. I tried briefly with a X200, but no luck | 18:44 |
| ogasawara | cyphermox: no luck as in suspend/resume is working? | 18:45 |
| cyphermox | iirc yes, it was working, and I otherwise couldn't see freezes or whatever | 18:45 |
| cyphermox | but I don't think it's quite the same ahrdware either | 18:46 |
| ogasawara | cyphermox: I looked in hexr and I think we might have access to similar (possibly identical) hw, but I don't know how to go about getting access to the hw | 18:47 |
| cyphermox | ogasawara: was there an ID or something for it? | 18:47 |
| ogasawara | cyphermox: in hexr, I'm looking at "Lenovo ThinkPad X200s - 7465CTO" | 18:48 |

| cyphermox | ogasawara: does it make sense though to try fw_restart=0 in case it avoids crashing as it does? I found that as a possible replacement (though not really the same thing) for wd_disable. I'm also curious why that parameter isn't available :) | 18:56 |
