[01:14] hm [09:09] anyone want to explain how the config works in ubuntu kernel builds? [09:14] which bit? [10:01] TJ-: oops, didn't see your reply! [10:01] i think i figure it out anyway [10:01] TJ-: now i'm onto wondering why some modules aren't in the initrd i have [10:02] That depends on the initramfs config [10:03] There's a setting in "/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf" "MODULES=" which can be most|netboot|dep|list [10:05] TJ-: ah, thanks [10:05] TJ-: what determines what 'most' means? [10:06] mwhudson: I'd suspect, something in the internals of initramfs-tools! [10:06] heh fair enough [10:07] i hope it's not written in perl [10:07] mwhudson: actually, no. see "man 5 initramfs.conf" [10:07] "most adds most file system, all ata, sata, scsi and usb drivers." [10:08] i think the fun part here is that the sata/ahci driver for this platform has an undeclared dependency on the ethernet driver [10:09] mwhudson: ... "/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/cryptroot:536: if [ "$MODULES" = "most" ]; then" [10:11] mwhudson: "/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions:427:auto_add_modules()" [10:11] TJ-: thanks, am reading that now [10:11] looks like kernel/drivers/net is included in most [10:11] but the driver i need is in kernel/drivers/phy [10:13] hm [10:14] i guess 2215 on a sunday isn't the ideal time to be thinking about this [10:14] regular add to "/etc/initramfs-tools/modules" then [10:15] i want this to work in the archive kernel really [10:15] but i guess that means finding the right person to complain at, not trying to do it myself [10:15] eh, not archive kernel precisely, "ubuntu-built images" is more what i actually mean [12:47] mwhudson: Which sata/ahci driver? [17:06] kees: I'm attempting a kernel bisect today, that's why I ask [17:07] soreau: exciting! if you can replicate with a stock upstream kernel, it may be easier to track things down. [17:07] kees: What makes you say that? [17:10] At this point I'm trying to establish a good commit using the instructions here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel [17:11] but it produces 5 deb packages instead of 3. I'm assuming I should still install all of them [17:13] any tips to speed things up? === fmasi is now known as Guest22497 === fmasi is now known as Guest68050 [18:58] ah good, turns out it's not a kernel bug
