General :: Compile Linux Kernel For Different Machine?
Feb 10, 2011
I am new to kernel development,and I have to compile a kernel with some specific features and then install it on some machines.The problem is that these machines are slow,and hence I want to compile them on a fast desktop once and then install them on the machines.I am following this guide from Ubuntu wiki.
So what I plan to do is, download the source and generate a config file on one of the slow machines, copy both to the faster machine, generate the image on the faster machine and then install it on all the slow machines. The slow machines are almost identical (same cards, processors, OS etc.) but different from the fast machine(different OS and processor). So will this work or not?

I've compiled the last stable ubuntu kernel (2.6.38-...) following this guide: How to compile a Ubuntu 10.10 kernel but in this guide doesn't explain how create linux-libc-dev package for that kernel? How do I do?
I've tried with fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch-headers but it returns an, IMHO, absurd error:
mkdir /home/simon/sources/kernel/ubuntu-natty/debian/linux-libc-dev/usr/include/
mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/simon/sources/kernel/ubuntu-natty/debian/linux-libc-dev/usr/include/': File exists
make: *** [install-arch-headers] Error 1
The error is correct but this folder is created in the same process!

I have recompiled a few kernels, but all on 32bit systems so not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Running Arch Linux 64bit, most recent version.
Kernel Output:
Code:
My first thoughts was that it might be my grub bootloader configuration, so had a big play around with that but it didn't fix it. Also made sure support was built for filesystems. However almost all that Fstab mounts are ext3 anyway, and certainly the root and /boot are. Now thinking it may be a memory error so will run a check when I shutdown.

I remember it being really easy to add a printer attached to another computer using Ubuntu, but I don't remember exactly what made it so easy. All I know is that now that I have switched to Kubuntu the process has become much harder because now I have to find out some special locations, numbers etc. for it to connect to the printer. It's connected to a Windows XP machine on the other side of the house.
It says alot about 'contacting the network administrator' if I am unsure about what to put in. But I am more or less the network administrator. how to find out what numbers to put in so that my Linux machine can connect and print to the Windows machine? Or maybe someone knows a few commands to share? I go to Applications > Settings > System settings, Printer configuration, New Printer, New Network printer, and then there are a few options but I don't know which one to choose. Windows Printer via Samba, I guess? Then in the box that says smb://[enter stuff here] I need to put in info but I don't know how to find that info.

My application is installed on root of RH enterprise 5 and is run via user on the same machine. This need ssh without password from the user.
i do the following :
1. run ssh-keygen in .ssh directory of the user.
2. copy the id_rsa.pub as the authorized-keys in the root's .ssh directory
3 chmod 600 to the authorized_keys
4.restart the machine
5. login from the user and ssh SER ( SER is the entry in the /etc/hosts with the ip address of the machine)
6 It still prompt for the password
How can i ssh from the user to the machine without password.

I have recently been getting into kernel development and was wondering whether the Linux kernel or BSD kernel would be easiest for newbies (such as myself). Does anyone know? I am really considering BSD because it seems to me to have the best documentation.

I'm looking for a good kernel guide for practical tips on how to compile my kernel for better speed. At the moment I'm using genkernel under gentoo and just taking the default options (with a splash). This compiles for ages and takes a good while to load.The kind of things I'm looking for are advice on:Removing modules from the kernel that are not loaded during normal use.Core components which can (and should) be loaded as non-modules for speed of boot.How to save and load kernel options so they don't have to be repeated every time I want to compile a kernel.

A while back I compiled a custom kernel, 2.6.35. I forgot to add UDF support when configuring and compiling. Will I need to re-compile the kernel to get UDF support or is there some other way I can add it?

I installed a fedora with kernel 2.6.15-1 (quite old, isn't it ?) on my vmware workstation and try to compile a new kernel with 2.6.15.2 just for testing. I download the kernel and compile with that:make menuconfig make modules-install install
then I reboot the server but if i choose the new kernel. the system poped up the error msg like : Unable to find device-mapper major/Minor No volume groups found unable to find volume group "VolGroup00"
Unable to access resume devices (/dev/VolGroup00/Logvol01)mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
yes. I am using LVM to setup the fedora.
i search online and find some possible causes:
1) the .config does not contain support for LVM.
then i choose to enclude the support for LVM
2) need to re-create initrd i use commond initrd --force-lvm-probe to generate the .img file
But both the method do not work. and i notices that the new '2.6.15.2.img' is about 1.5M which is smaller than the current 2.6.15.1 img (1.7M)

I am working on linux kernel building and customising for our requirement.All these days we were using 2.6.9EL5 kernel to create our own Bootable kernel. Lately we moved to 2.6.33.3 as SATA CDROM support was not available during booting with the earlier kernel.Now with the new kernel i have got all the updates i wanted with respect to hardware detection during booting but having an issue with my PS2 mouse not auto detecting while booting. However i can configure the mouse with the popup that comes during booting by selecting the generic PS2 3 button mouse option. With this my mouse works properly. I am wondering is there a way to make the mouse auto detectable.I have attached one of the Xconfig file that is part of our process.
