<0> i was going nuts
<1> how can l4linux have multiple instances of linux? do all of the instances have drivers?
<2> hi
<2> someone know why this jump in vsyscall-sysenter.S?: 14: System call restart point is here! (SYSENTER_RETURN - 2) jmp .Lenter_kernel
<3> Is there a way to get the .config file from a running 2.4.20?
<2> if u've the support /proc/config.gz, yes
<2> _vector_: zcat /proc/config.gz > my_own_config
<3> sys_elf: yeah I think I say that in the 2.6 kernel config to use but wasn't sure if it is in 2.4
<3> say=saw
<2> hmm i dont know how to make it in 2.4
<2> it's impossible, i think...
<3> yeah I didn't know if any knew of a way to extract it somehow with a program or tricky hack
<3> yeah that was my first thought
<2> :)
<2> do u know why this jump in vsyscall-sysenter.S?: 14: System call restart point is here! (SYSENTER_RETURN - 2) jmp .Lenter_kernel
<3> lol no sorry I'm not an uber kernel haxor
<4> sys_elf: if it's a debian kernel, it the config may be in /boot
<5> Patrick is using udev071 in slack-11, so I ***ume that udev071 is quite proven is comparison to newer versions. I need a udev that does hotplugging, so >= 085. If the newer udevs are not as reliable, should I just chose 085?
<6> Slackware 11 has not been released.
<6> Indeed, it is not even in the beta stage yet
<6> ...and frankly, it appears the reason Patrick has been keeping 071 around is that he's of the impression he can keep patching it to support the new features and maintain backwards compatibility with people too stupid to uninstall hotplugd.
<7> A patch has not been rolled in to the 2.6.16.18 kernel for a soundcard so i had a look into the patch and i ve made some changes in one file. Now if i compile the kernel with the existing config. Will my sound card work ?
<7> Or should i load modules separately for the patch to work ?
<8> I'm having problem compiling a "hello world" kernel module, can someone help pls?
<7> The patch for AMD A8 V MX works perfectly . I manually changed the code and made it work coz the patch was not available in 2.6.16.18 too
<7> i am surprised
<7> when would that patch be rolled into the kernel?
<7> which version of the kernel would have that
<7> could someone here tell me how to make use of fedora 5 config file and compile my kernel ?
<7> i want to compile 2.6.16.18
<7> with a patch which has not been rolled in
<6> Try #fedora or #redhat
<6> I think Timothy May had it right
<6> (wrong channel)
<9> linux__alien: could?Maybe;Want too?Maybe not :)
<7> gb, that means
<7> how do i do this
<7> is it possible ?
<7> first?
<9> yes
<9> if you have the .config you desire too use
<9> then make oldconfig
<9> that works even for config's for different versions
<6> gb: You may be getting in over your head. It looked to me like he was asking for someone to teach him all about RPM
<9> you'll need it specifically if the fedora kernels differe much in their source
<7> gb, when i do that i ve modified a file in the kernel code so that would also be compiled and i would have that change in my new image right?
<9> Dagmar: if it tells me what it wants I'll try too help if it's kernel related, if it's dist related I'll send trhem on their way:)
<9> I try not too *** u &u :P
<6> Otherwise, it puts the lotion in the basket, etc?
<10> hi, all.. i need help with me problem... i want create modul which print me all data in packet... where in sk_buff are packet data, please?
<9> Why?
<9> there are tools which do that already which have nothing too do with the kernel
<7> when would the patch for sound card VIA 8237 be rolled into the kernel?
<7> even 2.6.16.18 does not have it
<7> why is that its not still rolled in.
<6> Post to the LKML and ask
<9> linux__alien: the patch is probably not able too be rolled in because the kernel it was intended for differs too much too what it is now
<7> oh..
<9> but you are free to apply it, make it work & then resubmit a diff for the working thing
<9> imonly guessing of course
<6> More likely after the patch was submitted they couldn't find a second person to confirm that it was a real bug, and that the patch fixes it
<6> Hence, posting to LKML about it would be a good idea
<7> Dagmar, how do i post it
<7> i need an account is it?
<7> i am in that web site
<7> actually
<7> now
<6> With a normal mail client. LKML == Linux Kernel Mailing List
<6> Less enter, more spacebar.
<7> :-) Ok
<11> I'm confused by http://www.kernel.org/git/, which of these should I get?
<11> I want to work on a bug in the adfs fs
<11> linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git ?
<2> how to call vsyscall from userspace? If i've "mov $1, %eax; int $0x80" with fast call support it's calling vsycall?
<7> to change the name of ther kernel should i change this in the makefile?
<7> VERSION = 2
<7> PATCHLEVEL = 6
<7> SUBLEVEL = 16
<7> EXTRAVERSION = .18
<7> NAME=Sliding Snow Leopard
<7> that NAME Parameter should be changed is it?
<12> in make menuconfig you can give an extraversion
<7> but thats optiona
<7> optional if i am satisfied i can have it as .18 itself right?
<7> i did make xconfig and i just clicked on save
<7> it says using defaults in the config
<7> so now i can compile the kernel right?
<12> yes
<7> aXp, To compile the kernel make all make modules_install make install right?
<12> just drop a make on the commandline
<12> make modules_install make install afterwards
<12> or concatonate them with &&
<7> yes :-)
<13> hi all, i have a choice between flat memory and sparse memory in 2.6 memory split.. which is better to use on a centrino 1.7ghz sony vaio laptop with 2Gb ram ?
<14> "If unsure, choose this option (Flat Memory) over any other."
<13> thanks TheBonsai.. i was unsure, and wanted a 3rd oppinion =)
<13> especially since in sparce mem it says it will be the only option for some systems
<9> hence the default flat mem
<7> instead of giving make
<7> make all i gave make
<7> will that be a problem in the compilation?
<7> i just found out that and hence i ve given make all now . Once this is done i would give make modules_install and then make install
<7> is this Ok?
<12> jo
<7> aXp, is that ok ? am i in the right direction?
<12> make usaually is enugh! after that drop "make modules_install" (to copy the modules to /lib/modules/<kernver>
<12> after that make a "make install" and read th output of it
<7> aXp, Great Great wow.. Sound works I compiled 2.6.16.18 with Fedora Config
<7> and it works out of the box :-)
<12> how it should be! anyway /me is away! have phun with the new kernel ;)
<15> well, i wonder buy a book abouts kernel, in general...which explains in a detailed way microkernels, kernels etc..!
<6> www.amazon.com
<9> umm why?
<16> linus__^: i too wonder to buy a book about kernels or operating systems
<9> the whole point about the kernel is it's open source & changing so rapidly, a book on the kernel would be a few thousand releases out of date
<9> you might as well go & buy a fairy tale book, it's probably just as relevant
<9> besides who would write such a book?
<9> sumone with no clue about the kernek out too make a quick buck out of dummies?
<15> yes but
<6> He has a very valid point.
<15> i wonder knoow a very*good* book about that
<16> good point, but i wanna read the basics abaut kernel
<6> Probably the best you can do for that particular subject is to research using Wikipedia
<15> do u know some titles / authors ?
<9> lknl is the best place too read if you want too learn about the kernel
<6> Unless you're looking for something very specific, like writing device drivers for the Linux kernel, dead-tree formats are going to be either almost instantly obsolete, or very generic in what they say
<15> lknl ?!?!
<9> no you cant buy it, you subscribe too it & start reading
<9> lkml rather
<15> ok
<15> :P
<9> linux kernel mailing list
<6> If you're wanting to know about the various types of kernels and kernel design ideas, Wikipedia is where you should go.
<9> any decent search engine should do too
<16> what abaut the basic solution
<6> Wikipedia has *very* thorough entries.
<9> unfortunately most are over run with spam & adverts
<6> I've looked at them recently.
<16> and common probles on kernel
<15> well on amazon i found only linux-kernel, win32 kernel, but not a book about kernels in general :/
<6> There's no sense in wading through a search engine if you don't have to
<6> linus__^: You want to look at Wikipedia;
<9> Dagmar: wading? I hardly ever have too wade
<6> gb
<6> gb: For *this* sort of info, it would be wading, and the information would be fragmentary at best
<9> usually I might get a no hits return, but more often I get a page or two of hits by using relevant selection criteria along with a few -'s
<9> so if I get a whole heap of wigwam adverts for instance -wigwam & no more adverts :)
<15> Dagmar: but wiki will be just a 7-8 pages i can read, i wonder a more professional thing to read, like a book
<6> linus__^: Contrary to popular misconception, Wikipedia is very thorough and very professional when it comes to technological concepts
<9> bah stop trolling you've had your answer
