crash binary not working with latest kernel
Hi, I am running Ubuntu 16.04. I built and booted the latest kernel. Now the crash binary does not work, neither a panic is saved. What is the procedure to use crash with the latest unreleased kernel.

Depends on what you're looking for. linux-stable is by definition always behind Linus's tree, and has backported patches applied to it. In particular, note that only a subset of patches that go into Linus's tree end up also applied to linux-stable. In fact, in some cases a distro kernel has more fixes applied to it than a later linux-stable - a vendor 4.14.5 can have more vendor-backported fixes than a stock 4.14.8 kernel. So if you're building your own kernel from a git tree, your first question should be "*why* am I building a kernel instead of using the distro kernel?", and decide what git tree based on that. pgp4vdwsniU1z.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies

Yes, it should be listed in the announcements I make for the stable kernel updates, as well as being pointed to on the front page of kernel.org.

Kernelupdate
Dear list, I am a bit confused with upgrading my kernel to a newer minor version. My current kernel 4.14 is from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git , but there are no minor tags available like 4.14.15. I figured out there is another repo on git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git Is the second git-url the prefered one? best fs ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies

Its not even really C, at least not as a normal application developer thinks of it.
