CentOS 5 Hardware :: Compiling Custom Kernel For Apple Intel XServe

Jul 7, 2009

I need to compile a custom kernel for my xserve1,1. Or are there people who already managend using centos on their intel xserve? The current centos 5.3 kernel configuration does not support EFI. Right now I am able to boot the installation of centos to the welcome screen
and get stuck at the part where I need to skip or run the cd test. (keyboard and mouse won't work)

Just the boot screen
Screen where I pick option 2, the cd installer
Image shows ubuntu but it is centos. forgot to change the menuentry description name in grub.conf
ROMimage present
The screen that I see after image 3
The screen that I see after image 3
The window of centos

I tried the centos 5.3 86_64 DVD and netinstall. I already managed to run debian/ubuntu on my xserve1,1 with use of refit + grub2 but I need centos to use cpanel...

My xserve specs:
Xserve1,1
Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2 Ghz
Number of processors: 2
Total number of cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Processor): 4 MB
Memory: 8 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
Boot Rom version: XS11.0080.B01
SMC Version (system): 1.11f5
LOM Revision: 1.2.8

Installed:
OSX 10.5.7 server

Debian :: Custom Kernel Compiling.

Feb 23, 2010

I been trying all day to compile a kernel i downloaded from http://www.kernel.org/ (2.6.32.8 )Following this help thread viewtopic.php?t=4468.When i invoke make xconfig i'm just kinda lost at that point. Not really sure what to do, so i just save it as is and then compile/install.when i try to boot the kernel, a kernel panic happens saying it can't not mount the root partition.So i am sure i am missing a step with the xconfig part but not sure what.

Ubuntu :: Compiling A Custom 64 Bit Kernel With BFS?

Aug 1, 2010

I would like to try and optimize my kernel a bit. Since I am doing this on a fresh install, I don't really care if the os gets bricked in the process, and I am sure I can bring it back if I can boot into a recovery console from the old kernel. So, I followed thispost. I patched it and copied and edited a config file from /boot/, saved it as .config, I tried it several times with both removing and not removing /debian and /debian.master directories from the source, yet I always get the same error when I run "make oldconfig".

Code:
$ make oldconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf -o arch/x86/Kconfig
*** Error during writing of the kernel configuration.
make[1]: *** [oldconfig] Error 1

Ubuntu / Apple :: Can't Boot Lucid Netinstall Image On Xserve G5?

May 25, 2010

I'm an admin for a large (768-node) cluster of Apple Xserve G5s. We've been running Fedora, but we'd like to switch to an LTS release of Ubuntu for various reasons. I can boot the Lucid netinstall kernel (32- or 64-bit) with yaboot, which appears to correctly transfer the kernel and initrd, but when the kernel tries to unzip the initrd, it fails with "EOF while reading compressed data". I'm using the same yaboot binary we've been using for Fedora; the Fedora netboot image works a little differently but the file sizes are comparable.

I attempted the Karmic image to compare, and it boots, loads the initrd, and goes happily on its way, modulo an unrelated mistake of mine. The relevant yaboot stanzas look like this:

Code:
image=ubuntu/vmlinux-64.karmic
label=ubuntu-karmic-node
initrd=ubuntu/initrd-karmic-64.gz
initrd-size=18914
root=/dev/ram

[Code]...

Apart from our site changes (we're using the Kickstart support in d-i to smooth the transition), this is copied from the sample files on ports.ubuntu.com. Has anyone else seen similar problems?

CentOS 5 :: Create A Custom Kernel Using 2.6.31.5 Kernel Source?

Oct 31, 2009

I'm running CentOS 5.3 and would like to know what the "best" or "proper" method is to build a custom kernel using the generic kernel sources from kernel.org. Most of the references I've found talk about modifying the current CentOS kernel using the RPM way. I really want to have the latest kernel due to some important security issues that haven't been addressed in the current CentOS 5.3 kernel.

Red Hat / Fedora :: Compiling And Installing The Custom Kernel Under Fedora

Jun 22, 2011

I am compiling and installing the custom kernel based on the instructions provided in Building_a_custom_kernel on fedoraproject.org/wiki site.

However, according to the instructions, anytime I change anything in the kernel source files(e.g /driver/ata/libata-core.c), I have to create a patch a rebuild the whole kernel and install this new kernel which takes 2 hours. Is there a simpler way of recompiling what has changed(without creating patch) and try that changed kernel? Since my changes are not in the drivers which can be dynamically loaded but is in the static code of the kernel, it is making life cumbersome.Are there any instructions for this? How does other kernel developers manage this?

May 27, 2009

I have builded my kernel through wiki manual, BUT, the kernel-headers rpm-package has not been builded. Now i have only two packages: kernel and kernel-devel. Is that ok? (i think, that it is not ok, because when i build the same version of kernel on x86_64 platform, after rpmbuild command i have kernel, kernel-devel and kernel-headers packages) My CentOS version is 5.2; platform i686; kernel, kernel-headers, kernel-devel packages 2.6.18-92.el5.

Dec 7, 2010

I have read that when using xfs with lvm2, prior to kernel 2.6.29 write barriers are by deffault disabled.As i want to migrate /home to xfs (and create a external partition to hold some data in xfs too) i was thinking in compile a custom kernel 2.6.30 or higher from [URL].I have read the wiki, all the warnings , and that for compile a kernel.org kernel you should use the Linux Kernel in a Nutshel guide/book. But i don't really know if would worth do that only to have write barrier support , more when in one month i will buy a ups to be sure i can shutdown the pc well if the power goes out.Should i enable write barriers on xfs with lvm2 ,although going to have a ups ?

CentOS 5 Networking :: Can't Install Card For Intel DG41TY - Missing Dependency: Kernel(net_core)

Mar 12, 2009

I have been able to load CentOS on my computer. I have the motherboard DG41TY from Intel. It seems that the only problem I have is my network card does not work. On the Intel site there is a link to download the network driver for Linux. I did that. It's an rpm file. realtek-r8169-kmp-default-8.004.00_2.6.16.60_0.21-0.i586.rpm is the name. When i right click and say install it tried to connect to the internet for some thing and fails. of coarse it does there not loaded yet. I added a second nic that cent did recognize and got me online. I want to load the on board driver and remove the add on card. When I try to load now I get missing dependencys.

Debian Multimedia :: Compiling Intel Atom Poulsbo GMA 500

Jun 17, 2010

The intel <Xorg> driver provides 2D and 3D support for Intel integrated graphics chipsets, including the i810, 915{G,GM}, 945{G,GM,GME}, 946GZ, 965{G,GM,Q}, G33, Q33 and Q35; the <GMA 500> is not supported.

Packaged for Debian as xserver-xorg-video-intel. [url] [url] [url].

Poulsbo is the codename of Intel's second-generation ultra mobile PC chipset. Its GMA 500 graphics core is not supported by the intel Xorg driver; ITP xserver-xorg-video-psb filed as Debian bug #533450.

Poulsbo (chipset) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - [url]

Poulsbo's graphics core GMA 500 is currently not well supported by Intel for the Linux platform.

However there is a quite easy way to have the drivers work on any Debian-based distribution, thanks to the Ubuntu sources and packages, for the linux kernel 2.6.30 (with newer kernel it would need a little hacking but seems still possible while the sources are included).

Hardware :: Install Ubuntu Alone On Apple IMac - Intel

Aug 10, 2010

Yesterday I've try to reinstall ubuntu on my iMac at the only difference is that I don't want to see mac OS any more as I never use it.

So I erase all partitions of the hard drive (including the EFI one)

set the HD as GPT and use the following partitions schema:

Then I install ubuntu 10.4 TLS. every thing went well up to the end where is told me installation successful and ask to restart.

But when I restart it give me this: e745...(cut)...0a2 end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector

I know that my iMac doesn't use a BIOS but an open firmware and I didn't create any EFI partition.

should I create one? do I have to modify something in the Open Firmware? and it it possible to install Linux ALONE on an iMac (intel)? as I don't want macOs on it nor rEFIt as possible.

Ubuntu / Apple :: 20" 2009 Intel IMac Won't Boot LiveCD?

Mar 26, 2010

in an attempt to demonstrate just how compatible our college Macs are (please hold the tomatoes) I'm trying to install Ubuntu Karmic alongside Mac OS X Leopard and Windows XP Pro SP2. The problem is, I hold down 'C' to boot from the CD, and all I get is a black screen with a flashing DOS-style cursor. If I boot it without holding C, it works just fine, booting into either Mac or Windows (whichever I specified).This is understandably irritating, and I'm trying to figure out the source of the problem.

Ubuntu / Apple :: Keyboar And Mouse Not Working After Install On Intel Imac?

After booting up from the cd, I noticed that neither my wireless keyboard or wireless mouse were working. after a while a different screen came up that allowed me to use my keyboard arrows to choose "try ubuntu without affecting your system". So I choose that option and got to the desk top but then i had no use of the mouse or the keyboard at all. I then ejected the disc by quickly pushing the power button in the back of the iMAC and once the disk was out was able to restart the computer.Now i am in a black screen that says that there is no bootable drive.I know about the option key at start up, but that is apparently not working because my keyboard is not being recognized

Ubuntu / Apple :: Screen Brightness On Aluminum 24 Inch Intel IMac

Sep 1, 2010

Screen brightness on aluminium 24 inch Intel iMac

I was just about to re-install Ubuntu to dual boot with OS X on my 24 inch aluminium Intel iMac. Then I remembered the reason I got rid of Ubuntu the last time... screen brightness.

It is a known fault of these machines - the default brightness is set far too high. Sometimes it hurts the eyes. There is an application I have to use with OS X called 'shades'.

If I instal Ubuntu in VirtualBox I can still use 'shades', but when I run it natively as a dual-boot os, I do not have access to the 'shades' app so the screen is far too bright to use for any reasonable length of time.

Is there a workaround for this, without having to do something on every log-in?

(I am using the 64 bit AMD version of Ubuntu.)
