Hello thank you for responding, I am new, and I want to learn, and looking at the https://kernelnewbies.org page, one of the things we could do to start is to report bug, which according to a link leads to that previously shared manual. said guide was not in the league https://lwn.net/Articles/238838/, but I searched for it by google and that was the one I found. as new I thought the best way would be to look for the errors of my kernel and report them, then look for the solutions. Now if someone has a better guide to do the search for kernel errors and report them, I would be very grateful El vie., 19 oct. 2018 a las 1:39, <valdis.kletnieks@vt.edu> escribió:

Hi, Linux Kernel Tester's Guide is still valid?
Depends. Are you insisting on "type this command" validity, or general concepts?
Much of section 1 (from 1.2 to 1.5) has been rendered totally obsolete by the linux-next development tree.
Most of the basic concepts remain the same - a binary search using git hasn't changed much, and their explanation of things that can go wrong still applies to most uses of 'git bisect'. However, they refer to 'git-this', 'git-that', 'git-whatever', while most more recent documentation uses 'git this', 'git that' etc.
And of course, the details of what testing *you* should be doing will depend on *why* you're doing testing in the first place - see the recent discussion about performance testing for examples.
