I recently pulled in the vanilla linux-kernel-sources via git and |
| 2 |
compiled my own "daily" kernel to simply test things on my thinkpad. |

|

I get kernel crashes and would like to report them back upstream somewhere. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
* to store the crash messages: |

|
| 8 |
Is this still the way to go? |

|
| 12 |
Any other method recommended? |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
* should the reports go straight to the lkml-mailinglist? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I feel kind of misplaced there, plain stupid user amongst all those |
| 17 |
kernel-devs ;-) |

* I remember a thread here where this was discussed already: |

How do you guys get to your .config for a recent kernel? "make |
| 22 |
oldconfig" doesn't always work out best, I recall? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
My kernel config is maintained along for years now and has survived |
| 25 |
several hardware changes. I don't have any obvious problems but I wonder |
| 26 |
if I have something in there that is deprecated and might be better |
| 27 |
thrown out. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Does it make sense to take the .config from the gentoo install dvd for |
| 30 |
example and remove all the stuff I don't have? Maybe still too much |
| 31 |
enabled options in the end. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
"make allnoconfig" as a start? |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
allmodconfig ? |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I'd be happy to hear your opinions. |
