Hello, I am trying to write to rsyslog from application. With openlog(..., LOG_USER), it works fine and I find the log in /var/log/user.log (it is defines in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-defaults.conf ) But we need to enable different applications to have each its own log file. I tried to use LOG_LOCAL0

Is there a bug in dgnc.ko?

Hi, My kernel version is v4.4, and I have built drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc.ko. I change to *dir*/drivers/staging/dgnc and do like this: sudo insmod ./dgnc.ko sudo lsmod | grep dgnc sudo rmmod ./dgnc sudo insmod ./dgnc.ko After I re-insmod the dgnc module, my laptop is breakdown.

Partial (?) kernel crash dump ?

2016-02-23 Thread Rolland Santimano
I'm trying to save a crashdump on a DellFC630 with 128G of RAM, running Ubuntu 14.10, kernel 3.16.0-23-generic; used to host a bunch of KVM-style VMs. Since saving the full dump is taking forever & a day, I'm looking to save a partial dump -- maybe a few addr space regions only from the kernel

Thanks. I am taking the kernel from kernel.org not the one provided by Red Hat or any other OS. AFAIU, certification or module signatures are done during kernel compilation (by turning on MODULE_SIG*). On Tue, Feb 23, 2016 at 2:02 PM, Leo Silva (a.k.a kirotawa) wrote: > If

Thanks. I understand your point, but I am one of those people who simply can't do an upgrade to the LTS kernel. Again, I think this doesn't necessarily answer my question about FIPS and kernel panic. An additional note, older kernels (2.6.x) and its RH derivatives, works fine when started under

If it's a kernel provide by a company, such as RHEL or SUSE, I'd recommend to ask for them support/bugzilla. Regarding FIPS/fipsmode, it's a kind of certification that is done by these company with focus on specific hardware and Kernels, if just a bit is different on a crypto algorithm it'll

Porting to an S3C2416 failed with no console message

Hi, I am trying to port 3.18 kernel to a S3C2416. Years ago, a guy helped me ported a 3.1.0 kernel to the same board, and the guy left and the kernel got too old. The guy also ported an u-boot as boot loader to load the 3.1.0 kernel. I had the source code of the ported u-boot and the 3.1.0
