After following this wiki article here detailing how to rebuild the Debian kernel, I'm encountering errors:

These were the errors generated at the end of the console output.

Is there something more specific someone (including myself) would need to diagnose this? I'm unsure how to generate a log for the build process, even if possible...

View 1 Replies View RelatedI use a usb flash stick for bootloader and /boot. Debian resides on sdaX and is LUKS encrypted (in fact LVM on LUKs). I am trying to learn how to use the Deb LIVE disk with rescue mode to re-build the bootloader and /boot on a fresh different flash drive. As a learning tool I want to approach this task as described. I have full access to a perfectly running system at this point, but I want to learn this process knowing eventually something will go "bump in the night". I did a custom install so I am aware of how this works generally speaking.
I have password access to the LUKS volume and can easily open it at the LIVE disk prompt to do so. My new flash drive is wiped and EXT2 formatted and should be ready to go. I have RAM based backup software for doing sector backups of the LUKS partition/volume. Doing a full restore at any point will be a piece of cake. I have lots of family around and the thought of a missing bootloader flash drive, while not likely, is not out of question.
I used a clonezilla live cd to clone a working updated install to another SSD of the exact make and model. Something went terribly wrong, and the new system booted to emergency mode. I then went back to my working laptop I cloned from and it did the exact same thing when booted, into emergency mode. After a couple of days trying to figure out how to rebuild the FSTAB on the once working machine, I finally figured out how to mount the root partition and copied all my important stuff off. WHEW!
Before I was able to mount the root partition, I had a heck of a time trying to mount it, getting errors about unable to read superblock, etc. I used testdisk that I installed on a debian live cd (on a flash drive) and it did something, not sure, but after that, and rebooting, I no longer had sda1,sda2, and sda5. I only had 1 and 5. sda2 was the root partition (extended, ext2) and I thought all was lost. But after running fdisk -l, I noticed two other devices... dm-0 and dm-1. I noticed that dm-0 was my root partition and read that it has something to do with LVM. I mounted it, and grabbed all my important stuff.
Now I am stuck at rebuilding my fstab so my boot, root, and swap partitions are properly mounted. Again, I do not have anything to copy and paste yet. I guess I got lazy since a lot of my work on this system is via Putty and SSH from a windows machine. It certainly looks like the partitions are there and ok, just not sure where to go from here.
I read that I need to get the UUID's from the partitions, then rebuild the fstab using those. I figured out pretty quickly that using /dev/sda1, 2, and 5 did not work. And the UUID's are pretty long. Without copy and paste, I am not sure how to use those without manually keying them in. I tried shelling into my laptop via putty while it is in emergency mode but failed.
We have a Dell 1850 with Debian with 2.4.18 kernel running some critical applications, now the issue is we need to upgrade the memory to 8 GB but the memory is detected by the bios itself, Operating system is not able to detect it, it is showing 3096MB of memory,
After a lot of googling and the artical in linux.com/archive/articles/119287 :: Got more than a gig of RAM and 32-bit Linux? Here's how to use it i came to know the solution i.e
1)I need to install the Bigmem-kernel to detect the ram more than 4Gb,
2) or change some kernel parameters in configuration file and rebuild the kernel
Is there any another solution for this to update operating system to detect the more RAM

I'm working on the development of a custom kernel (actually just a "small" change in the networking part), from the standard 2.6.23.17 source code (downloaded from kernel.org), on CentoOS 5.3. I'm using the following procedure to build and install the kernel:
1)cd <ROOT_DIRECTORY_OF_KERNEL_SOURCE>

I rebuilt my kernel with dynamic ticks, high resolution timer support, and hugepagetlb and hugepagetlbfs support. Now X does not load. If I start it as root, xclock shows up and then the screen goes black and I can't do anything. Normally xclock and three xterms show up. If I start it under my normal account, I get a black screen with nothing but a cursor, which moves and has the "busy" pointer. It is not configuration because I booted an old kernel and am using X under that right now.I also set CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME to no. My monitor uses DPMS so maybe that may have done it.

There is nothing errorwise in the Xorg log after a reboot. The very last line relates to a video mode with modeline info etc. I have compiled either into the kernel, or as modules everything I think I need though unfortunately I seem to have to load them all manually, so I hav no idea of I've missed something important. This includes all the Intel drivers i915, drm, intel_agp etc.Googling suggests bugs with polkit and I don't know why gnome has anything to do with my system in any case.Other thing that I find annoying is that xorg.conf no longer exists and I am relying on the HAL daemon, about which I know nothing. It took me ages to find how to change the X keyboard map - very frustrating. How do I confirm which video driver etc.?
I have an Nvidia graphics card,... actually I manage several workstations that run centos and have an nvidia video card. I also have a personal computer with ubuntu and an nvidia network card.
I would like to do a regular automatic update of those Centos workstations. (With a pilot group to test and then a full roll-out). Until oktober 2009 no major difference in automatic updating ubuntu and centos (apart from the differences between apt and yum):
After a kernel upgrade, the systems can not boot into it's Xorg gui, because the nvidia driver must be rebuild (=not recompiled, because this is partially object code, the driver is not opensource).
But from ubuntu 9.10 onwards, the kernel update process checks for the presence of propietary drivers like those of nvidia and does a rebuild on the reboot, so that the system can succesfully boot into the xorg GUI (and gdm or kdm) My question is: Are ther any plans for Centos to do the same, this would relief me from some upgrade hassle for the Centos workstations that I manage. Or does anyone know about a (good) automagic workaround?

Code:
I would have thought that removing a given kernel package would trigger the removal of the older kernel headers. Can someone confirm that is, or is not, the behavior? I ask this because it seemed to me that the older kernel header packages were indeed removed when I removed some older kernel packages.
For example, the linux kernels I have installed are:
Code:
Also, the linux-headers packages I have installed are:
Code:
So, when I get around to removing the linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64 package like this:
Code:
I would expect apt-get to automatically also remove linux-headers-2.6.25-2-amd64 and linux-headers-2.6.25-2-common. Is that what will happen, or do I need to explicitly state all three packages on the apt-get remove command?
The 486 kernel works just fine, and while I have only 1GB of RAM at the moment I hope to have 2GB someday and would like to take advantage of the dual core CPU, so I would like to configure grub to run the 686 kernel by default. For whatever reason, it runs the 486 right now and the 686 fails in a major way: there is no network connectivity at all. It could be plugged into my cable modem router and it shows no wired connections. The fact that one works and the other doesn't puzzles me since I haven't touched either since the install and a few rounds of upgrades.
I should mention I'm newbie but getting better; I managed to install debian on this x60, yet while preserving the factory install rescue & recovery partition and preserving the factory install MBR so that ibm-specific hardware functions (thinkvantage button, etc.) still work. This required me to use dd to copy the first 512 bytes of my debian partition to a file in the windows partition, etc., and modifying the windows bootloader. (I wish I had learned dd long ago--it rocks). I did this because if I ever resell the X60, the fact is most people use MS Windows and having that partition adds a perception of value to some potential buyers; not to mention I paid $ for it (I was young & stupid) so why should I delete it. I also backed up the recovery partition on another drive using dd over NFS in case the hd ever heads south.
Anyway, I've never been comfy with messing with the kernel. I did once recompile a module for ALSA because it had a bug in it for an old Yamaha integrated sound card on an old PIII and the newer version worked [alsa fails on this x60 too but I think I found a post on here that has a solution I will try later]. But I'm clueless as to networking modules, not to mention the correct module is installed already from Intel for this chipset. So what is there to do?
Here's a clue: the ifconfig output is radically different from the 686 and 486 kernels. Looks like hardware is not being detected since eth0 fails to show:
I would show the diff output below if it weren't so long--and not allowed--upon 2 text files, the first holding the output of modprobe -l under the 486 kernel and the second under the 686 kernel.
I am using DEBIAN 6.0 and I wannna update my kernel from 2.6.32 to 2.6.38. Every time, I do it but after the installation & rebooting into the new kernel it gives me error "UNABLE TO BOOT INTO THE KERNEL".
