I was wondering if you requested this module be built into the upstream kernel(Either on LKML or an upstream bug)?
You may wonder why the kernel team doesn't just build this module into the kernel. The reason is that the kernel team is reluctant (not opposed) to apply any patches or changes to a stable kernel that is not from upstream. Applying patches or adding modules that don't come from upstream add greatly to the support of the kernel as other upstream patches/changes may touch the same area as the non-upstream patch/change and may cause other issues. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Tags added: precise -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/923094 Title: Debian Installer kernel (PowerPC) is missing therm_adt746x module To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/923094/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
