I am really confused now... it looks like the kernel config file itself is the cause of my woes.
I was given a slimmed down copy of the kernel config optimized for a Thinkpad L520 to use when building the kernel to make it quicker, which I started using after my previous comment on this ticket when I went through the 'git bisect' process. I went through the whole thing without any errors - it reported the broken commit being the one creating the tag! So I tested that config file generating on the latest/master from the git repo, and it worked. This was weird, since I'd tested these builds before with no success. So I went back and used the config file for the stock kernel installed on ubuntu (/boot/config-3.2.0-14-generic), and now any build I try is broken. I can only assume that there is something in the config file I was provided which enables something my laptop needs? Being a configuration parameter it would explain why some builds worked and others didn't, it would depend on whatever kernel config I was booted into at the time (I was using 'cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config' before to generate it for each compile). So, how do I go about debugging the config file? I wouldn't know where to start! ** Attachment added: "config-3.2.0-thinkpad520" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/903558/+attachment/2721107/+files/config-3.2.0-thinkpad520 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/903558 Title: Unable to boot 12.04 without 'noapic' flag enabled in GRUB To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/903558/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
