so my problem is how to recompile my kerenl with TUN/TAP driver,i got how to compile the kernel with TUN/TAP driver every thing is going OK, when i run the commends , just in the last commend when i reboot my laptop i choose grub to enter on new kernel , but when i choose it , i got black screen .so please help me to solve this problem , for more information about my laptop , i have just one partition my root is (hd1,1). my ram is 2G, speed 2GHZ, i use Linux-2.6.27.42, but the new one is the last kernel available in website. i am in rush please inform me as soon as possible,
i tried to compile linux kernel 2.6.31 on Fedora 12: the make , make modules and modules install ran successfully but problem with make install while trying to create image it looks for mkinitrd command which is not available i downloaded and installed the mkinitrd pckg and make install was now successful i got kernel img and initrd img in /boot
also grub was updated properly but i m not able to boot up the new kernel the problem the initrd seems to be and uknown type file to fedora core and the current kernel has initramfs img with a .cpio extn instead of initrd
i have downloaded .src.rpm file from net.i dont know how to compile that.can u tell me the basics of linux kernel compilation.how to compile a kernel. how to install or modify the existing running kernel with tat. etcI am using fedora 12 it has 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE
i was trying to install kernel 2.6.29.1 on fedora 14 but it is giving error. First download a package with kernel and i saved in home/user/linux. Afterwards i can extract this package.
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module ip6t_REJECT ERROR: modinfo: could not find module nf_conntrack_ipv6 ERROR: modinfo: could not find module ip6table_filter ERROR: modinfo: could not find module ip6_tables ERROR: modinfo: could not find module ipv6 ERROR: modinfo: could not find module fuse
however it gives initramfs,vmlinuz-2.6.29.1 and System.map-2.6.29.1 in /boot folder and menu.lst in /boot/grub is updating according to new kernel. when i reboot my machine and selects the kernel 2.6.29.1 it shows FATAL:kernel too old [1.591633] Kernel panic-not syncing:Attempted to kill init
i want to compile the vanilla kernel 2.6.37-rc3, but i want to obtain a .rpm file. I found this guide long time ago (i used it many times) but it use src.rpm package and the contained kernel.spec file have many lines for adding patches. Someone know where can i download a kernel.spec for vanilla kernel or a guide to obtain an rpm file
I am attempting to compile the linux-2.6.35.13 kernel from kernel.org to use with an installation of Fedora 14 (2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64). I've done this before with different kernel versions for older versions of Fedora, but I've encountered a new problem this time. Whenever I get to the "make install" step, I get the following:Quote:
sh /home/user/testing/source/linux-2.6.35.13/arch/x86/boot/install.sh 2.6.35.13 arch/x86/boot/bzImage System.map "/boot"
Recently i downloaded the stable version of kernel from kernel.org then i extract the tarball to /usr/src path , then after i complile the kernel for fuse and ext4 modulescommand which i use is mention below
[root@localhost linux-2.6.36.1]# make menuconfig [root@localhost linux-2.6.36.1]# make [root@localhost linux-2.6.36.1]# make modules
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.
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 trying to replace just the kernel (no modules) for my default kernel on FC 11. I use the default .config file and just change a few things and then run the make command. After I replace the kernel and reboot the system the password comes up for the encrypted filesystem and it does not take my password for some reason. what I need to do to get this working?
Im using a Fedora 15 and im trying to compile a 3.0.0rc5 kernel. but im unable to get a config for my machine to boot up. i tried make localmodconfig it says
using config: '.config' capifs config not found!! Restart Config
and then i tried cp /boot/config-2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.i686.PAE .config to override the default config but stil that doesnt work. work around to get a proper config so that i can boot the latest kernel here?
I thought I would give some instructions on how I compile my kernels. My long-time windows user parts trader recently asked me how to compile a kernel on Fedora. He was confused with all the tutorials requiring you to build an RPM, so I showed him how I do it, the standard/easy/lazy way. Before I start, here are a couple things I assume. I assume you are a Fedora user and that you are NOT in text mode, but in GNOME. I also assume you realize that this can take up to SIX HOURS on an old Pentium 3 1.3Ghz. Remember that some proprietary drivers as well as some free ones are not included in the kernel, so make sure you don't delete your existing one.
First get the dependencies you need. su -c "yum -y install gcc ncurses-devel"
Next get the kernel source. I use 2.6.33.3 as an example. To download it, click here.Extract it by right-clicking on the file and then choosing extract here. This will take about five minutes. Now open a terminal, become root, and cd to the directory linux-2.6.33.3. It is important to cd here and not to the kernel directory inside of there, even though make has an extra variable that specifies there.
Now we need to configure the kernel before we build it with make O=kernel menuconfig. It will take a couple minutes to set up, then you will be presented with a cheap psuedo-gui in your terminal. Just select exit and yes to save your config. You usually don't need to change anything here.
Ready to compile and install? Remember this can take up to six hours, and your machine may become VERY slow. It is not recommended that you attempt to use your machine with this in progress. OK then. As root, in the same directory, type:
make O=kernel && make O=kernel modules_install install. This will compile the kernel and install the kernel and it's modules. Done? Now change the kernel and initrd in your bootloader to match the new kernel. If you ever want to reuse the same source code folder, use make mrproper to clean things up and build it again.
I am very much a Newbie to Linux/Fedora. Just installed Fedora 10, but having some problems with hardware driver recognition, particularly a wireless network PCI card. ndiswrapper is looking for a kernel in usr/src/kernels, which doesn't exist.In Fedora, is it necessary to compile a kernel? Looking through the FAQ at kernelnewbies, states to extract the kernel to a Linux directory, in usr/src, which also doesn't exist.
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?
Trying to compile Kernel 2.6.35 on Ubuntu 9.10 (2.6.31-14-generic).
got: The UTS Release version in include/linux/version.h"" does not match current version: "2.6.35-xxx" Please correct this make[1]:***[debian/stamp/install/linux-image-2.6.35-xxx] Error 2 make[1]:***leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.35' make:*** [kernel_image] Error 2
Can any one tell me what should I do? Is this Ok for using the compiled vmlinux image?where can I find the correstponding initrd file if this kernal compile is Ok?
I become successful to download kernel, compile it and run it.BUTWhen i modify tcp.c file or any other file in this /usr/src/linux/net/ipv4 location, (just modifying c files) i have to compile the complete kernel every time, which is very time consuming procedure.So Please help, How to compile that net/ipv4 package or etc.
Using the rpmbuild to compile the kernel, every time the patches will be applied to the source code. So even if no changes are made to the source code and no patches are added to kernel.spec, the whole kernel will still be recompiled, wasting a lot of time
I am trying to compile a kernel in the following directory:/usr/src/kernels/2.6.30.9-102.fc11.x86_64
Note I am not trying to build an rpm but just do a simple make. After configuring with make menuconfig I issue the make command and get the following error:
Code: [root@compaq 2.6.30.9-102.fc11.x86_64]# make CHK include/linux/version.h CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h SYMLINK include/asm -> include/asm-x86 make[1]: *** No rule to make target `missing-syscalls'. Stop. make: *** [prepare0] Error 2
how to resolve this error? It seems to be fedora-centric.
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:
whenever i'm in the process of compiling and installing a new kernel in ubuntu lucid lynx i get an error message when i get to the make bzimage part is there some sort of program that i needed to install first or is there an alternative to doing this.
I'm runing FC11 and have compiled the vanilla kernel 2.6.33.4 to support Dazuko. It has broken my NFSD server in the process, and I can't figure out why. I get these errors on boot. FATAL: Module nfsd not found. FATAL: Error running install command for nfsd
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.
[Code]....
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?
