Hi,
I am trying to build and boot linux-next kernel tree.
My original kernel with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS was 3.5.0-23-generic.
I checked out code with tag next-20141226. I generated a ".config" file with "make localmodconfig". I installed modules and kernel.
On restart PC do not boot up.
I then checked out tag v3.16-rc3 and booted. It worked pretty good and booted properly.
I had few question from this exercise:
1) Why my PC didn't boot up with linux-next kernel?
2) Do I need to apply any specific patches to boot mainline linux-next kernel on my Ubuntu 12.04 PC?
3) How do people test mainline kernel-next? Do they apply their OS specific patch on linux-next tree or test linux-next on some specific OS?
Thanks,
Sunil.
