I would prefer to schedule it as three sessions to start -
1. Building the Linux Kernel [ -stable- 3.5.x ] - Kconfig/Kbuild for newbies
2. Linux Kernel architecture transition from 2.6 to 3.5
3. Linux Kernel architecture - overview of sub-systems - basic
architecture for device drivers

I shall need help to select the right schedule and place for each of
the sessions.

Beyond the 3rd session, people who are experts in various subsystems
of the kernel could share more detailed information.

Comments and ideas are welcome.

Thanks for the response, Arun. I did do that before posting this
message, but no luck, the problem remains. Also spent quite a lot of
time googling, but no useful info could be found. It's probably some
bug? But this is happening only on my laptop -- with the same distro
(Ubuntu 12.04) it's fine on my desktop as well as a friend's laptop.
And there's no difference in the set of programmes that's loaded on
all these, so why's it happening only on my laptop?

Re: [PLUG] Help required

It's possible to recover entire partition with help of "testdisk".
Whether it is windows file or linux file it can scan and recover the
partition it self.

So try to live book Ubuntu or other OS which runs "testdisk" recovery tool.
then scan your hard disk.

It can recover partition which is even deleted or formatted.

I've formatted my whole partition table and it recovered them all.

Google out some info about the "testdisk".

There are some videos about how it recovers also on Youtube.

This would be really great. Most of us generally work on the latest

kernels and does
not know how a feature has evolved. Take an example of device management.



If anyone is interested in both sides (sharing with others, or
learning [ I would like to understand a few pieces too ] ) do share
what you would like to learn.


I would like learn about the transformation of:-
- Process Scheduling
- Memory management
- Device management

Hi, Sunil
I would really like to hear about the internals of Linux kernel and 
the details of kernel design 3.5 .


Also I would like to learn about Linux Kernel Compilation and 
actually  downloading a raw Linux Kernel(www.kernel.org),  compiling it 
and booting the machine through the newly compiled kernel.


Again please try to schedule the talk in this month itself.

Thanks,
Raju D. Vindane
