[02:23] <notmwp> hey folks, could use some help with dmraid and kernels 3.1 and 3.2 on oneric, thanks in advance
[02:25] <notmwp> specifically, oneric finds my intel fakeraid on stock kernel (3.0.0-14), but when I install 3.1.2 or 3.2.0 from kernel-ppa, it does not
[02:29] <notmwp> I have a lot more information including some online discussion threads but don't want to spam the window :) 
[02:36] <notmwp> hmm, looks like the 3.2 config is missing the "Ubuntu Supplied Third-Party Device Drivers" section, which includes a line to build the dm_raid45 module 
[02:40] <notmwp> I'm assuming it's also missing some patches to enable these drivers... you guys must wait until late in the kernel release process to add that back in
[02:44] <notmwp> aaaand looks like stefan bader is still reviewing dmraid45 for the precise alpha kernel
[08:37] <Kurdistan> hi. is this the place to find ubuntu specific patches for kernel? http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/
[08:39] <Kurdistan> if I am using ubuntu 11.10 is it possible to install kernel from 12.10 from http://packages.ubuntu.com/ like 3.2*?
[08:41] <Kurdistan> anyone?
[09:03] <jk-> Kurdistan: you're better off looking at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git to see what's in the ubuntu kernel, rather than patchwork
[09:04] <jk-> Kurdistan: specifically, the ubuntu/ubuntu-{natty,oneiric,precise} trees
[09:05] <Kurdistan> jk-, thx. example: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.1.8-precise/
[09:05] <Kurdistan> the patch in that there is that all the patches that are used for that kernel?
[09:05] <jk-> Kurdistan: so those are the mainline kernel builds (ie, no ubuntu-specific stuff)
[09:05] <Kurdistan> kernels in mainline har vanilla
[09:05] <jk-> yep, exactly
[09:06] <Kurdistan> jk-, so does patches there are does patches ubuntu uses for 3.1.8?
[09:07] <jk-> Kurdistan: there is no ubuntu kernel for v3.1.x
[09:07] <Kurdistan> I am thinking download from kernel.org and wanted to know were I easily can find ubuntu specific patches without beeing lost.
[09:07] <Kurdistan> :)
[09:07] <jk-> oneiric is 3.0, precise is 3.2
[09:07] <jk-> Kurdistan: ok, what are you trying to get done?
[09:07] <Kurdistan> jk-, is it possible to make pricise 3.2 work in oneric?
[09:08] <jk-> Kurdistan: yeah, should be
[09:08] <Kurdistan> I wanted to build newer kernel for 11.10 with ubuntu specific patches
[09:08] <Kurdistan> otherwise I know how to install kernel from mainline
[09:08] <jk-> ok, if you don't need to modify anything, I'd just suggest installing the precise kernel
[09:08] <Kurdistan> but I also wanted to have the patches
[09:09] <jk-> Kurdistan: and if you want to see patches, just clone the ubuntu-precise git tree
[09:09] <Kurdistan> jk-, :) I do not know how to handle git.
[09:10] <jk-> Kurdistan: two-step git introduction:
[09:10] <jk-> git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-precise.git
[09:10] <jk-> cd ubuntu-precise
[09:10] <jk-> gitk
[09:10] <jk-> ok, three-step :)
[09:11] <jk-> .. or just browse on http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-precise.git;a=shortlog
[09:11] <ohsix> you can just get the diff too, a bit hard to read unapplied though ;]
[09:12] <Kurdistan> jk-, :) the link what should I download?
[09:12] <jk-> Kurdistan: not sure I understand that question
[09:12] <Kurdistan> jk-, you gave me the link. is it something I should download to understand?
[09:13] <Kurdistan> or is the patches in that link for specific kernel?
[09:13] <jk-> Kurdistan: no, that's just a page that displays the git history of the precise kernel, including diffs
[09:14] <jk-> however, if you're just looking to install a 3.2 kernel, you probably don't need to look at any of that
[09:14] <Kurdistan> jk-, okey I see.
[09:14] <jk-> meta-question: why do you want a 3.2 kernel?
[09:14] <Kurdistan> jk-, I am using 11.10.
[09:14] <Kurdistan> jk-, :) I wanted to learn how to have newer kernel for 11.10.
[09:14] <Kurdistan> thats all.
[09:14] <jk-> Kurdistan: i know a couple of folks running the precise kernel on 11.10
[09:15] <jk-> Kurdistan: if you want bleeding-edge, you could try installing precise anyway  :)
[09:15] <jk-> I hear it's pretty stable now
[09:15] <Kurdistan> http://packages.ubuntu.com/ should I then download kernel-image for 3.2 here?
[09:16] <ohsix> you can run the mainline kernel builds that are built all the time too
[09:16] <Kurdistan> jk-, hehe no no. I wanted to have 11.10 only intressting in newer kernel.
[09:16] <Kurdistan> only have 1computer
[09:16] <Kurdistan> ohsix, mainline do not have ubuntu patches. does kernel are vanilla.
[09:17] <jk-> yeah, installing the precise kernel will give you better results than installing a mainline kernel
[09:17] <Kurdistan> jk-, exactly.
[09:17] <Kurdistan> :)
[09:18] <Kurdistan> jk-, but are precise kernel specific for precise or does it screw up if I use it for oneric?
[09:19] <jk-> Kurdistan: well, it *should* work, but it's not something that gets much testing
[09:19] <jk-> there may be some incompatibilities between the kernel and userspace
[09:19] <Kurdistan> jk-, I understand. so I should download kernel-image from http://packages.ubuntu.com/ ? what more?
[09:20] <Kurdistan> jk-, :) okey it seems to not be problem free to upgrade kernel.
[19:15] <njin> hello guys, i'm forwarding upstream a the BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer deference at    (null), but i don't know under wich category report it, can you halp?
[19:15] <njin> tThanks
[19:23] <njin> Under drivers or under other ?
