Hi Will,
I tried the live CD on another Windows-only laptop and had no
problems rebooting back to Windows. I did it several times. I guess
we shouldn't worry about it for now.
Hmmm. All the machine I have are dual boot, so I can't verify this
problem. I guess we won't worry about this.
For those new to this thread, I had a problem a couple times when I ran
a live CD on a Windows-only system. The live CD ran fine, but I
couldn't boot back to Windows. However, my latest test worked fine.
We've had no problems with linux-only and dual-boot systems. We've
decided not to worry about this for now. It's not clear it's a real
problem. Plus it's unlikely OLS attendees will bring Windows-only laptops.
I noticed that the sockets tapset doesn't contain the fix I made that
allows it to work with later kernels. If we can't include a later
systemtap rpm, then I'll just update socket.stp with my examples
rpm. Does that sound okay? I'll also probably install the
tutorial-specific examples under /usr/share/doc/systemtap-0.5.13.
I'd like to get people used to looking there.
Yes, just be sure to have an example that works. We can put all the
examples together in an rpm.
Will do.
I was going to ask if we could include the kernel source and cscope,
but I realize that's out of the question. The kernel source alone is
437 MB!
Regards,
Mike
The source is already in the debuginfo rpm. However, I don't know
about getting the cscope information in there. It isn't in an rpm.
Generating the stuff on the fly probably won't work too well either.
I don't see any source coming from the debuginfo rpm. Where is it located?
What I said wasn't quite true. The .c and .h files are around. However, the make
and script files are not there. Take a look in /usr/src/debug/kernel-2.6.21 (or
similar directory).
