[17:30] <trippeh> Hm. Something something module autoloading during initramfs seems to be borked with kernel 3.16-git (upstream)
[17:30] <trippeh> On 14.04
[17:38] <apw> trippeh, any specific module?
[17:40] <trippeh> ahci.ko didnt get loaded, but loads fine on modprobe after dropping to initramfs-shell. I still cant get it to finish boot though, seems like something related to dm-crypt is failing too.
[17:41] <trippeh> so I'm guessing something is just rong with autoloading in general
[17:42] <trippeh> 3.15.4-rc with similar config works fine.
[21:50] <trippeh> Hm. udev is supposed to start during initramfs right?
[21:58] <trippeh> hmm. starts ok if I start it manually within the initramfs shell
[21:58] <trippeh> odd.
[22:01] <trippeh> udev didnt start by itself, but only with 3.16
[22:14] <trippeh> onto something
[22:16] <trippeh> oh. /sys/kernel/uevent_helper seems to be gone, making the udev initramfs script fail before starting udev.
[22:17] <trippeh> -CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="/sbin/hotplug"
[22:17] <trippeh> +# CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER is not set
[22:17] <trippeh> heh :)
[22:18] <trippeh> silly me
[22:19] <trippeh> kernel says "should not be used today"
[22:21] <trippeh> I'm thinking maybe the echo > /sys/kernel/uevent_helper is a relic of the past
[22:22] <trippeh> udev started and worked fine without it.
[22:24] <trippeh> ah yes. the echo is to disable it.
[22:25] <trippeh> but when disabled in the kernel build anyway, it doesnt exist anymore.
[22:25] <trippeh> so I guess it should have a if it exists, then try disabling it.
[22:26]  * trippeh rambles on
[22:29] <trippeh> wrapped it in a if and now it boots cleanly
[22:37] <phillw> scary things, these kernels!
[22:40] <trippeh> will re-enable the legacy kernel option and file a minor bug on initramfs-tools
[22:42] <phillw> trippeh: are we sticking with 3.15 for 14.10 release?
[22:43] <trippeh> not sure, I'm just an observer who breaks things :)
[22:45] <phillw> trippeh: ahh, I'm similar... I have a non-pae 3.13 kernel which I've added the aufs patches to :)
[22:47] <trippeh> err, its udev that should get the bug
[22:47] <trippeh> $ dpkg -S /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/udev 
[22:47] <trippeh> udev: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/udev
[22:48] <trippeh> probably not worth fixing in 12.04/14.04, as its a non-ubuntu-standard configuration
