Hello!
I'm trying to build a 2.6.39 low latency kernel using make-kpkg on
lucid. The current state of kernel-package makes this a bit painful,
here are my experiences.
The first problem is that initrd is not created when the linux-image
package is installed. This can be solved by having kernel-pa

Which is the recommended way to build my own kernel from kernel.org
source on ubuntu? I need header, kernel+modules and occasionally debug
symbols.
The web is full of documentation about make-kpkg. There are a couple
of wiki pages for ubuntu that document how to rebuild the ubuntu
package for the

I fear I need a custom configuration and the preempt rt patchset
applied, and the kernel is supposed to run on lucid.

I'm trying to get a kernel crashdump from a self-compiled kernel (3.0)
on a 10.04 system. This has been a bit bumpy, but works now with
recent version of kexec-tools, makedumpfile and some hackery on the
script side.
The script 0_kdump expects to find a vmcoreinfo-$KVER. Unfortuanately,

Do you know the tool 'prevu'? I find it extremly handy to do backports
with almost no effort.

Since some time grub started to hide old kernel entries. This is
usually a good thing. However, on work we routinly boot
older/different kernels and its tedious to always navigate into
"Previous Linux versions" and choose the correct kernel. Is there a
simple switch that disables the new-style grub

Thank you both. This does exactly what I had in mind. Below an updated
patch that applies cleanly to my current 10_linux:

Today, my build suddenly had a linker error out of nowhere. Further
investigations revealed:
The default of the linker flag --as-needed seems to be different

assumed --no-as-needed by default, now the default seems to be to use

It is of course conveivable that our code changed just enough to
trigger said build failure.

Very informative, thanks! After reading through the document, I guess
I'll fix the linking instead of turning back on the flag :).

I just encountered some problems with very long boottimes on precise.
failsafe.conf just hangs until the timeout has elapsed.
The culprit seems to be that I define interfaces in
/etc/network/interfaces that do not exist when I'm testing in kvm
