Gentoo kernel bug hunting

December 4, 2008 · Posted in Gentoo 

After Daniels Drake call on November issue of Gentoo Monthly Newsletter I decided to join and help gentoo kernel team to hunt, catch, and kill several kernel bugs.

So far I like the whole development process.  Daniel and the rest of the guys  ( on #gentoo-kernel irc room ) are trying to show us the correct ways to deal with a possible kernel bug. There is no much coding to do ( hopefully ). We just try to understand why a bug is happening without dealing with source files ( until now ).

I think that this is a good way to understand the whole Linux kernel’s tree and become more familiar with it .

If someone would like to join us, join #gentoo-kernel irc room on freenode servers . Furthermore you can read this guide about the whole kernel maintenance process
