[Bug 90243] Re: Lockups running Feisty on x86-64
In desperation, I started trimming down my module list as much as possible. I have a wifi card (1814:0301, RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI) driven by rt61 that I am not using at all (it shipped with my system and I never bothered to take it out, but I am using wired networking with e1000 exclusively). Blacklisting the rt61 module seems to have made my system much more stable. So perhaps rt61 has some locking bugs? If someone could tell me how to build a linux image and restricted modules (I need that pesky fglrx module to see anything under X) package from source, I could turn on CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING etc. and try to get some more info about the specific problem. Unfortunately I've gotten lost trying to follow the Ubuntu kernel packaging... -- Lockups running Feisty on x86-64 https://launchpad.net/bugs/90243 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Roland, If you run apt-get source linux-source-2.6.20 it will download and unpack the latest copy of the source. apt-get build-dep linux- source-2.6.20 will fetch all the corresponding build-dependencies of the source package. Run apt-get install build-essential dpkg-dev fakeroot to make sure you have the latest Debian package building stuff. To build the source tree, you can run dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot which will build the whole shebang. If you only want to rebuild the linux-image you can run fakeroot debian/rules binary-debs flavours=FLAVOUR to only build the binary packages for a specific flavour. You can use similar commands to fetch the linux-restricted- modules-2.6.20 source package. You'll need to reinstall your linux- headers package from building the linux-source package to build l-r-m against the new headers.

There's a few other rt61-ish bugs, I'll see if any of those can be of any help. ** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.20 (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Kyle McMartin Status: Unconfirmed = Needs Info ** Summary changed: - Lockups running Feisty on x86-64 + rt61: Lockups running Feisty on x86-64 ** Summary changed: - rt61: Lockups running Feisty on x86-64 + [rt61] Lockups running Feisty on x86-64 -- [rt61] Lockups running Feisty on x86-64 https://launchpad.net/bugs/90243 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
