No debug kernel builds are getting scarce
by Bruno Wolff III 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

I was expecting to see more no debug kernels show up after rc1.git0 appeared there. But we haven't had one show up yet. I may need the normal builds anyway, since 3.16-0.rc1.git0.1 isn't successfully booting on my i686 machines (though it seems to work fine on x86_64). But it is nice to have the no debug ones for day to day use.

F20 Kernel 3.14.x / raid-check and freezes
by Reindl Harald 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

has anybody else faced complete freezes of a machine due raid-check? today the same as last thursday while the freeze seems not to happen by the raid-check itself according to running smokepings from outside which are green until i try to use the machine * last thursday morining around 8:30 while login in KDE * today around 9:45 AM while power on the screen and continue to re-use a existing KDE session however, after hard power off, the fsck, login in KDE and start the raid-check manually on TTY3 it continues ____________________________________________________ since the raid-check starts at 5:30 and all heavy IO from remote-backups and rsnapshot ends at 4:30 to not collide it's hardly IO-dependent [root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat /etc/cron.d/raid-check 30 5 * * Thu root /usr/sbin/raid-check

3.16 merge window kernels
by Josh Boyer 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

Hi All, Likely later today I'll commit the first 3.16 merge window kernel to rawhide. This is unfortunately going to be a rather large jump from 3.15, as the upstream merge window was open during the final 3.15 development. Our scripts for producing git snapshots (and our RPM versioning) aren't able to really cope with pre 3.16 stuff being done on top of 3.15-rc8 instead of 3.15 final. So we have 7000+ commits landing in the first -git1 snapshot. As usual, please review the config settings and such when the commit is pushed. I'll be doing much smaller git snapshots from here on out. josh

i.e. 3.15.0-1.fc20.x86_64+debug Overall impression - it works very well, what didn't surprise me, because I'm very well tested this kernel within Rawhide. suspension & hibernation & virtutualization & md & network & audio & video & media all passed the test. My recommendation for inclusion in the stable Fedora. $ time nice -n20 rpmbuild -ba kernel.spec ... + exit 0 real 130m23.799s user 181m5.360s sys 25m52.313s Given the necessary time to build, watching the World Cup Brazil is guaranteed. :) poma

Problem booting custom kernel in Fedora-20, efi related?
by Ben Greear 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

Hello! I hope this is not too far off-topic..I did not see a better mailing list option. My problem is that I cannot get a Fedora-20 machine to fully boot using a custom compiled kernel. This kernel works on dozens of other machines, most of them Fedora 19 and less. I'm building this kernel on a different machine, then un-tarring it on the target machine, running mkinitrd, mucking grub 40_custom file with a script, and regenerating the grub-cfg. First thing I noticed is that the grub lines start with linuxefi and initrdefi instead of linux and initrd. With this fix in my script, the kernel starts booting, but the boot process hangs when trying to handle the initrd target. I am just putting the kernel image and initrd image in /boot as I have for years. Is there anything special I need to do while building a kernel or initrd to make it work with the efi boot variants? Any other ideas on what I might be doing wrong or how to debug it better? Thanks, Ben -- Ben Greear <greearb(a)candelatech.com> Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com
