Help appreciated on how these two .git repositories are expected to work together. Or just if they are not meant to.
I am trying to do a git bisect to see when the hibernation bug#844788 ( https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=844788 ) I have checked out the mainline kernel into linux and then checked out https://anonscm.debian.org/git/kernel/linux.git into /build/linux/debian-linux - which apprently gives a debian directory for the kernel . I then do a symbolic link from with the mainline linux checkout to the debian directory check out: debian -> /build/linux/debian-linux/debian Using git tag -l to find a suitable tag and then select the kernel a similar tag and build the release and install it and see if it works. But this doesn't seem to work at all so I guess is completely wrong I get errors like: fakeroot make -f debian/rules -n binary macbook: 2:51PM dh_testdir make -f debian/rules.gen binary-indep make[1]: Entering directory '/build/deb-linux' make[1]: debian/rules.gen: No such file or directory make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'debian/rules.gen'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory '/build/deb-linux' debian/rules:46: recipe for target 'binary-indep' failed make: *** [binary-indep] Error 2 I was trying to just compile mainline kernels (no debian patches) via make deb-pkg Kinda of getting stuck -Hitting problems where ever I turn to. Recent 4.9 kernels compile and run - but hibernate doesn't restore My mainline 3.18 kernel + initrd just crash without any output after booting from grub when building with a stretch based system (needs a few patches to compile them). I am suspecting the stretch based system might be causing the older kernels problems. Perhaps using containers to build them under older releases might fix things? I am thinking I need a working serial port (not a laptop) to debug the restore crashes or perhaps try and reproduce things via kvm? No easy paths... Andrew
