How to help Kernel developers to help you

I have been bugged with lots of errors in Kernel errors in syslog lately with my new machine.

This machine Clevo is not linux supported offically by Clevo so i cannot ask them manufacturer.

I found this interesting link on how to find which function is throwing error and how to contact maintainer of that Kernel code

Download Kernel code

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git linux-git 

Depending on error you get ,try to search the code and find the package from where error statement is being thrown.

After that use Ubuntu bug reporting tool to file the bug or ask question.
