I want to boot into a new kernel like 2.6.34 over the default 2.6.18 RH/centos kernel. i know you cant copy the .config file and use it since there are so many changes so what is the best way to compile the kernel and get the right settings?

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.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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 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?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'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?

View 4 Replies View RelatedBuilding an nVidia driver requires sources for the currently-running kernel. In my case (Fedora 12), it is, according to 'uname -a',
2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686
I thought I could get the sources with 'yum install kernel-sources', but there is no such package. Then I tried 'yum install kernel-devel'. That package exists, but the kernel is
2.6.32.9-67.fc12.i686
This is clearly not the correct version.
I'm running CentOS 5.3 x86_64 on my laptop (dell vostro 1400, core2duo, 3GB RAM, intel 3945ABG wireless, nvidia video and LAN). The problem is that some times (like 15-20% of times) I shutdown the laptop, I get a kernel panic related always to the wireless kernel module (I haven't been able to get screenshot or anything). I'm using the latest centosplus kernel. I never get these panics with the standard CentOS kernel, however the standard kernel doesn't light the wireless led, and that annoys me a lot. Therefore I'm forced to use centosplus kernel. The question is not how to solve this (i know I've not given enough details) but what to do to diagnose better the cause of the panic and then correct it.

Trying to compile the 2.6.36.2 kernel. Its not the first kernel I've compiled, but I've run into a problem I've not come accross before.
While compiling I get this error.

Looks like the headers sys/eventfd.h and linux/virtio_rng.h haven't been selected in my .config file. I just copied my old config from the last kernel I built. This was a while ago (2.6.30), but I thought I'd give it a go anyway.
what config option they are under or what I can do to get rid of this error?
