I am trying to compile the kernel version 2.6.20-15 on my Linux 10.10 with 2.6.35-22 kernel. Additionally, this is my assignment.After I download kernel, extract it and create a new .config file for the new kernel I am trying to command;make-kpkg clean fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers.after the second command I get an error an it says "nothing to be done" but I expect to have some .deb files for the new kernel. In addition this I have added a new system call to the kernel 2.6.20-15.
How to build uimage from my kernel linux-2.6.10_mvl401 ,then need to port on my arm PXA 300 through TFTP . What all steps I require to do.In which configuration file i should make changes for ethernet for boot
I have just started to work with BeagleBoard and built the Linux kernel (version 2.6.30.5) and download to the board and it start. I have also connected to the board over serial to Putty terminal.
Now I want to connect to the Beagle Board using USB instead of serial and I am looking for some info on how to do this.
My goal would be to connect to board over USB and then be able to: * Download my own binary files/programs from PC over USB to BeagleBoard * Communicate over USB instead of UART/Putty to get log and execute commands
Question: How do I build the Linux kernel with USB support, meaning what settings should be ticked in menuconfig? Or is it already included?
How do I enable USB OTG in menu config?
I assume I would need some driver on my PC with Windows XP to connect to my BeagleBoard over USB. Were can I find this USB driver?
AFAIK, in addition to implementing the standard C library, glibc provides wrappers for system calls, threading support, and basic application facilities. So because of that, glibc that will be used on my target system should be built based on the kernel version running on my target, right?
Based on the above, I am trying to build a glibc version for my target machine's kernel. However, I don't know to to build a glibc library for a target system and also where on the target's filesystem should be put? In which location Linux will start looking for the libraries required for a program to run (should I create an /etc/ld.so.conf file)?
Since new kernel 3.0 update I cannot rebuild vmware modules
Quote:
sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all Unable to initialize kernel module configuration
how to do that. Where do I insert the "CONFIG_LOCALVERSION" line.
Quote:
Same here. This seems to be due to the kernel version being "3.0" instead of "3.0.0". Recompiling the Kernel (and all modules based on it, e.g. nvidia) with CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=".0-ARCH" allows me to compile the modules and run VMware.
I am trying to install atheros AR5007EG on my toshiba laptop -i figured out that best way to install this wireless card is through madwifi -while configuring madwifi i get this error
I am posting the output of different commands so you can understand better -i manually tried to link the build directories to kernel-source which failed - i am not sure exactly what kernel source is and how i can link to kernel source -
the correct way to remove custom kernels? I was trying to install a driver and only got it half way right and I want to wipe the slate clean and try again.Here's the original:Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-amd64root(hd0,4)kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-amd64 root=UUID=64dcc531-f5b0-47e8-99c4-abeecfab9353 ro quietinitrd/boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64
I need to build a new kernel. I was directed toI tried following the instructions but I think I may have ended up with way more than I wanted. After just over 3 hours the build exhausted the 5.2GB I had available and fell over. The .config file used was nearly twice the size of the one I supplied. Why was it changed?I don't need an rpm.Are the patches supplied with the 2.6.38 sources required or nice to have?
Im trying to build parted 2.3, but I always end-up in the same error:
Code: In file included from arch/linux.c:42: /usr/include/scsi/scsi.h:152: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'u8' /usr/include/scsi/scsi.h: In function 'scsi_varlen_cdb_length': /usr/include/scsi/scsi.h:163: error: 'struct scsi_varlen_cdb_hdr' has no member named 'additional_cdb_length'
My VMWare Player was working fine After updating the kernel it is throwing the error "Unable to build kernel module" my kernel is 2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64 what to do?
When I build the kernel 2.6.30 source, the rpm package is very big and needed or root filesystem 800-900 Mb. I use "make rpm" as described in Configure, Build and Install a Custom Linux Kernel - openSUSE.
I am trying to build a custom kernel but I couldn't. Here are the steps to reproduce it: 1. Set Up an RPM Build Environment as its is explained in [URL] 2. Then follow the instructions in [URL] 3. When I try to install the kernel source rpm I get the following error:
[matias@Centos ~]$ rpm -i [URL warning: user mockbuild does not exist - using root warning: group mockbuild does not exist - using root . . . warning: user mockbuild does not exist - using root warning: group mockbuild does not exist - using root error: unpacking of archive failed on file /home/matias/rpmbuild/SOURCES/linux-2.6.18.tar.bz2;4ba24901: cpio: read
I can't get the nVidia kernel module built. Each time DKMS runs to install it (I'm trying to install it with the nvidia-kernel-legacy-173xx-dkms package on ), the build fails with a different error. Here is an exemple /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/173.14.27/build/make.log (I have a geForce FX 5200 on the computer I'm trying to install the nVidia driver):
What I don't get are any kernel-headers-<version>.<arch>.rpm Files. Don't I need them to rebuild modules and drivers on System B? Otherwise, how should I copy my new headers to System B? BTW, System B crashes when I try to build the Kernel on it, that's why I'm building debugger Kernels on System A.
That's it guys. I have successfully installed the proprietary ati drivers in past 6.34 and 6.35 kernels but not in latest .6.36. I'm wondering if this have something to do with compatibility or not.
Installation log shows me some errors I can't recognize:
I had a debian installation with kernel 2.6.32 I had a set of instructions to apply a patch to kernel which I followed to the T. The grub now shows the Debian installation with the old kernel and the Debian installation with the patched kernel.
The trouble is the system goes blank after attempting to start gdm3.
I have tried running in recovery mode and then typing startx but it only shows a blank screen.
Code: lspci | grep -i display 00:02.1 Display controller : Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) If i boot with the old kernel, everything works fine. Is this an "X" window configuration issue. I tried X -configure but still nothing changed.
I'm trying to debug a module I programmed but I don't want to do it on the running host but against UML (don't want to reboot every 5 minutes).
The UML kernel I downloaded is 2.6.38.2. I have already downloaded the ubuntu kernel headers for this version (they belong to natty though I'm running maverick.... when I installed the .deb file with dpkg I had no problem at all).
Now I'd like to build said module against these headers. How can I do it?
This is from Centos 5.5 so I apologize to anyone who may be offended.I installed my system and it came with kernel 2.6.18-194.el5. I installed the src.rpm of this kernel with rpm, patched, and built it. Then I did a yum -y install kernel.i686 which installed kernel-2.6.18-194.32.1.el5.centos.plus.src.rpm. Since this was a yum install, why doesn't this new kernel version show in the BUILD and SPEC directory?
