hvn2hi, question on boot: is the /boot/abi file necessary for successful booting ? I've been reading about abi but can't figure this out11:17
=== lool- is now known as lool
infinityhvn2: No, it's just there as a reference.11:39
hvn2inifinity: ok, thank you. I'm trying to figure out why my custom kernel 3.5.7 (for 12.04) won't boot and keeps hanging at "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.". So far I found no solution.11:46
apwhvn2, that is very early, try adding debug and loglevel=9 to the boot12:28
apwhvn2, also does the mainline 3.5.7 12:28
apwboot for your machine12:28
apwhvn2, as infinity says the /boot/abi is not used at runtime at all12:29
* apw hates on debconf questions which always appear 10s after you leave an upgrade to finish by itself12:30
hvn2apw: where should I add debug and loglevel ?12:31
hvn2apw: e.g. in the kernel or in boot.scr ?12:32
apwon the kernel command line, however you are setting that12:34
apwas it is a boot.scr i assume it is some kind of arm board12:34
hvn2apw: yes it is an armv7 board12:35
hvn2apw: I assume then I should put loglevel=9 in boot.scr ?12:37
apwand debug in whever you set the kernel command line12:39
apwthat is likely there, but i don't have the same boards, and they don't all work the saem12:39
hvn2apw: do you have a suggestion for how to put debug  ?12:41
apwdebug is the word you want, like loglevel it instructs the kernel to be noisier12:42
hvn2so, just put the word debug in boot.scr ?12:43
apwhvn2, put it with loglevel=9 in the kernel command line specification hwever that is done in your boot loader12:49
hvn2apw: ok12:50
hvn2apw: I put loglevel and debug in boot.scr and rebooted...it hangs again, but how do I check on the loglevel and debug now ?13:12

hvn2apw: the syslog is only started after starting the kernel, not after boot ?13:42

arges_smb: hello. i see the neutron kernel crash bug has some more comments.14:12
=== arges_ is now known as arges
argessmb: I wonder if it makes sense for us to provide a machine one of their developers can access so they can setup a reproducer and then we can crash it at will and perform experiements?14:12
smbarges, Yeah, not more to work on though , yet14:12
argesand also snapshot it14:12
smbarges, Feel free to offer that to them14:13
argessmb: or would it be too much to ask them to reproduce in a VM, then tar it up so we can download the disk?14:17
smbarges, Well that might be simplifying the setup. If they can get a kexec crash they can share with us that sounded good enough. And meanwhile try to find a simpler reproducer14:19
smbIf ones is found we learn more about the trigger, too14:20
argesyup14:20
smbIf not, maybe still we are lucky and get a dump14:20
argessmb: so stilll 1) get a crash dump 2) get a reproducer?14:20
smbThat was my thinking when proposing it. Or rather 1) get the crashdump and while waiting 2) try to get a reporducer. Not sure I was clear  with that :)14:21
smbarges, Getting a setup locally may or may not be sucessful. Ok, it could be but also we could find out that it needs a certain environment in which the host is to trigger14:23
smbOk, we could realize that when trying to find a reproducer, too14:24
argessmb: i'll send an email with this info you can reply with clarifications14:24
smbarges, ok, wfm14:27

stgraberso we have a regression with 3.13 on the wandboard... my box won't boot with 3.13.0-11. Last running kernel was -6, will try to figure out exactly which upload broke it now.21:11
stgraber3.13.0-10.30 to 3.13.0-11.31 is where the regression happened21:31
stgraberhmm, that doesn't make much sense looking at what changed in 3.13.0-11.31...21:32
stgraberyeah, that actually doesn't make any sense seeing that the armhf configuration didn't change at all in that upload (just bits being moved to common)21:34
stgraberI guess we'll see if 3.13.0-12.32 magically works (in which case I'll blame cosmic rays), if not, then maybe something toolchainy changed?21:35
