[09:31] apw, looking at the dumps of both our and rhel kernel images, it would appear that both are compressed, but somehow the offset where that begins is like miles further down the binary for ubuntu vs others. [09:32] however not that dissimilar to debian with 10.3 MB [10:34] Is there a way to trigger a rebuild of initrd.img for each installed kernel ? [10:35] apw: arges has found an issue with kdump-tools when it is installed on system with more than one kernel package present [10:35] apw: smaller initrd.img for kdump-tools will only be built for the current running kernel, not all the installed kernels [10:41] caribou, yeah you want to build but not rebuild them i guess [10:41] caribou, against all kernels [10:41] yeah, build them [10:41] apw: right now, the trigger will execute only for the current kernel [10:42] yeah that does (in hindsight) seem flawed, bah [10:47] apw: maybe kdump-config should be responsible for building it if it doesn't find the proper file in /usr/lib/kdump [10:49] caribou, that isn't unreasonable, though would it delay boot ? it should of course be rare and you definatly want the thing if you are asking to use it [10:50] apw: yes it would. That's why I would rather have that done when we install the package [10:51] tricky [10:55] apw: I had an enhancement for kdump-config to be able to correctly set symlinks for a kernel version given as an option [10:55] something like kdump-config symlink {version} [10:55] I could add a check that would build the file if it is missing. This would be a manual operation but would give the chance to fix the problem [10:56] yeah, that is also pretty good [10:57] I'm not a fan of delaying the boot for that [10:57] right makes sense [10:57] apw: ok, I'll look into that, thanks! [10:57] cool [18:34] The mainline-crack 4.4 and 4.5rcx kernels seem to be missing NVME support that exists in 4.3. Anyway just FYI. I've a Dell XPS 13 with NVME. Noted that when installing 16.04 and attempting to use the newer kernels from mainline-crack [18:35] seanvk, hmmm, i'd expect 4.4. to work because that is now our -proposed kernel [18:37] Ah no, you are right apw 4.4 has it [18:37] Meant 4.5 only [18:38] maybe not - RC1 had it but the v4.4-wily 0003 patch does not [18:38] http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4-wily/0003-configs-based-on-Ubuntu-4.4.0-0.10.patch [18:40] 4.4-rc1 was built against a 4.3 config, 4.4 final was built against a 4.4 (and recent) config [18:40] so i am supprised it is not the other way round [18:42] seanvk, though there is a 4.4 kernel in -proposed which i am told does work with nvme [18:43] Ah, thanks, I will look there. [18:43] I'm in the process of building my own from the 4.3 config [20:47] apw, what woudl produce /etc/kernel.conf ? and did you mean /etc/kernel-img.conf ? [20:50] smoser, i think that is part of an image iirc [20:50] smoser, as in it is in the live images and propogated onto your system [20:50] which is an oddity now i think about it [21:06] apw, do you have other ideas ? [21:06] the file is there. [22:09] smoser, whats in it ... [22:09] smoser, does it request the use of symlinks, and ... pastebin it [22:11] diagnosis in that bug now. [22:14] the case is unimportant to the option valyue [22:15] smoser, also how are these chroots made, ie can i make one or get access to one you have made [22:15] smoser, as this is simply some perl that needs following through, its not rocket science [22:22] /etc/kernel-img.conf is carefully crafted, by kernel installers / re-initramfs-update-u code. And it's done for the debootstrap, and live-installer cases. [22:22] on all arches. [23:24] apw: I tested Dell XPS 13 (Skylake flavor) with xenial-proposed 4.4 and it is not finding the NVME at all. I will file a bug report tonight. Current 4.3 does find the NVME. [23:26] apw: key difference is that 4.3 has CONFIG_NVMEM set, but 4.4 does not [23:27] It does [23:27] Not really clear. Sorry for the back and forth. Still not finding the NVME though the Dell. I will file a bug report.
