I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 - fresh install 2 days ago, I marked all packages for upgrade in Synaptic, everything upgraded except 'linux-image-2.6.35-22-generic' kernel image. Now everytime I use apt-get or synaptic it takes ages as it tries to update the kernel image every time. The error I am receiving is as follows:

I am trying to install a Hauppauge 1850 video card into Linux Home automation system (LinuxMCE) which is based on Ubuntu Intrepid (I can't upgrade the kernel since this is what the LinuxMCE distribution supports)I am feeding analog signal to the video card, either through a coax analog connection or an RCA analog connection. I cannot see any picture from the card (I verified that the video card is working properly under a Windows Vista OS)I am trying to use the video card using a lightweight application such as tvtime, xawtv. In all applications I am failing to see an image. (For example, tvtime shows the message "No inputs avialble Cannot open capture device /dev/video0". Right clicking on Input configuration / Change video source doesn't give any options)

I created an initrd image using mkinitrd -F, added an according stanza to /etc/lilo.conf and ran 'lilo' after that. Now I can boot on the vanilla huge kernel all right. But I can't seem to boot on the generic kernel. Whenever I try to do this, the boot process stops short on the following error message:
Code:

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been running Ubuntu 10.04 under Windows 7 (Is this call WUBI?) without any problems for a while. My other machines only run Ubuntu (9.04 & 10.04). I decided to give it a try to the latest Ubuntu 10.10.

I want to compile a custom kernel, because I need a path for a device. Here is what I've done:
Code:
$ cd /media/work/temp/

$ apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)
$ cd linux-2.6.31

What is the difference between those kernels that you can install from this PPA:
[URL]
ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa
...which currently has 2.6.35-19.25-generic
AND
[URL]
...which currently has 2.6.35.3-maverick (even has later version 2.6.36-rc2-maverick)
AND
[URL]
...which currently has 2.6.35.3 (even has later versions 2.6.36-rc2 and 2.6.36-rc2-git4)
Are they the same? Which is newer? Is 2.6.35-19-generic = 2.6.35.3?
Just installed the patches/upgrades for the 2.6.35.30 kernel. Ubuntu will not boot without me typing "y" and hitting enter and later hitting the enter key again. Just have a blank screen unless I do this. Discovered what to do by booting into recovery mode. Had to make a display selection. Just guess at the enter key the second time the boot process stopped. I new to Ubuntu so don't know where to look in the logs to provide additional information to help trouble shoot the problem. If some one can guide me as to where to look I'll post log info. Hope this is the right place to post this. If I need to make a bug report let me know.
Forgot to add: HP Pavalion dv5000 (dv5020us to be specific). AMD Turion64 processor. ATI Radeon Mobility 200M video.
I reported a bug at [URL].., then I had been asked to test the latest generic kernel in order to test whether the bug exist in latest kernel or not. I had read the information at [URL]... I installed the most current version of generic kernel. After that, I restart my computer and try to use the latest installed kernel. Then, the laptop freeze. Then, I restart my computer by turning off and on again, select the older kernel, successfully boot into Ubuntu to post this thread. What can I do since I am required to test the latest generic kernel?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed Mint 9 and directly after installation there were updates to download and install, which I did. One of the updates is a newer kernel, 2.6.32-24-generic.
When I manually install the nVidia driver 256.44 and restart gdm it works. When I reboot I land in low resolution, have to remove and re-install the older (195.36) driver through "Hardware Drivers". Somehow the new kernel and the latest nVidia don't match together. Am I the only one suffering from this or are there more people with this problem,and what to do about it?
I just noticed I'm not running with the latest kernel.
This box was originally installed as Ubuntu 10.04, then upgraded to 10.10.
I just recently noticed that, even though kernel 2.6.35-24-generic is installed, this box seems to insist on booting up with 2.6.32-24-generic.
Looking at /boot/menu.lst, it looks ok. (default is 0, and first kernel in list is 2.6.35-24. 2.5.32-24 is the *last* one in the list!)

I installed Ubutnu 9.10 Server on my Dell Server for LAMP & OpenSSH server. After the install was complete, I noticed the the kernel installed on the server was 2.26.31-14-generic instead of 2.26.31-14-server.I am wondering why would generic kernel be installed from ubuntu-server 9.10 cd? And how do go about chaning to server kernel? Or do I even need to do that? Would generic kernel work as server kernel ?

I got no idea how to rescue or repair the grub. I installed Ubuntu 9.10 in my E: under Windows 7 partition and labeled as "ubuntu". It has dual boot capability.
This week my ubuntu 10.10 was updated via update center. I obtained the new kernel headers 2.6.35-23-generic but now I can't boot using this kernel version and I have to select manually 2.6.35-22-generic in grub. I can see the ubuntu plymouth splash screen but it never rise gnome. where are the boot logs and how to activate them, In /var/log/ I have "boot" file but is empty and in "boot.log" I cant see any usefull information (I have BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=yes in /etc/defaul/bootlogd).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI was previously using kernel-huge until a slackware update caused some problems for me, so I switched over to kernel-generic but now I'm wondering if it uses both of my cpus on my dual core processor.
View 1 Replies View RelatedOne thing I always do is switch to the vmlinuz-generic(-smp) kernel in /etc/lilo.conf and build an initrd (see /boot/README.initrd for details). The "huge" kernel used by default is only meant for installing and not recommended for everyday use. It has a lot of drivers you don't need built-in and uses more RAM than the "generic" kernels.
still trying to find my feet and get to know Slackware. In one of my previous threads, 'things to do after installing' i was told the above message. When i installed, it used the huge kernel, but i'm unsure if that was the one that got installed. when i start slackware up, above the login screen it say, �wecome to Linux 2.6.37.6-smp (tty1)� I was wondering how to swich to the generic smp kernel, do I just change the vmlinuz to the desired, in lilo?
Upgraded to latest kernel 2.6.32-23. Ubuntu 10.04 I run a twinview video configuration of 2 screens @ 1920x1200. On booting, X wanted to go to low res for the session, which reverted to one screen (that is, I lost the twin view), but actually kept the 1920x1200 res on the one. I restarted X on got both screen working with the second as a replica of the first. Something has changed in this version of the kernel. Reverted to the previous Kernel version (22) and all is sweet (twin view is back working). But this can only be a temporary workaround.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an ATI radeon HD 3400 series video card, and the open-source drivers make my computer run really hot. I tried installing FGLRX by using "Check For New Hardware Drivers", but it did not work, so I installed the ATI catalyst 10.5 package from AMD's website, and am using Xserver-xorg-core-1.7.6-2ubuntu7+backclear1 from k0ekk0ek's PPA so there is no lag when minimizing windows and such.
Everything was perfect until the 2.6.32-23 kernel update came along. I let it update, and rebooted, but the ATI driver no longer starts, even when I uninstall and reinstall it.
I am just using the 2.6.32-22 kernel for now, as the 2.6.32-23 kernel still runs hot without the ATI driver enabled. I would like to start using the new kernel at some point...
I'd like to compile a generic kernel for my netbook on my desktop. They are both F12 64bit. On my desktop can I do:
make xconfig
make
make modules_install
Then copy the folder to my netbook then:
make install? Is there a better way? I don't really want to make .rpms.
I've changed for huge kernel to a generic+initrd setup per the instructions in the README.initrd file however my machine fails to boot using that method. I get the following errors:
/boot/initrd.gz: Loading kernel modules from initrd image:
mount: mouting /dev/sda2 on /mnt failed: No such device
ERROR: No /sbin/init found on rootdev (or not mounted)
1. I've created the initrd using the results from /usr/share/mkinitrd/mkinitrd_command_generator.sh
mkinitrd -c -k 2.6.33.1 -f ext4 -r /dev/sda2 -m usbhid:ehci-hcd:ext4 -o /boot/initrd.gz
2. my root fs is ext4 on /dev/sda2
3. I've changed all necessary links in /boot
4. I've changed my /etc/lilo to:
image = /boot/vmlinuz
initrd = /boot/initrd.gz
root = /dev/sda2
label = Linux-Generic
read-only
I am going to change my hardware soon, just a new motherboard and cpu, same sound card,gfx card and other stuff. Will it boot and run ok ( like a live cd/dvd) until I have time to do a reinstall or does it have specific ports the hardware is installed on now?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI was interested in the idea of the btrfs subvolumes, so I made a virtual machine and installed Slackware as per the instructions here: [URL] It all went very well, but when I tried to switch from the huge kernel to the generic kernel and use the initrd.gz generated from step 29 (except that I used 2.6.37.4-smp instead of whatever's there) in lilo.conf, it failed to boot. I also noticed that in the instructions themselves, the poster doesn't actually add the initrd.gz to lilo.conf, so I'm guess the huge kernel has everything it needs to boot properly.
