General :: Error In Installing A New Kernel?
Jun 14, 2010
I am using Ubuntu minimum 9.10 and I would need to add a network driver. I was told that it is the safest way to rebuild the kernel that includes this driver. I built the kernel and loaded it to my Ubuntu minimal. The network now works. However, during bootup time, I got the following error messages.
[Code]...
1. Can Linux gurus tell me what they are?
2. Also, I use bootchart to check the performance, somehow, in the first 5-6 seconds, nothing happens. I would assume that there is a time-out, but I do not know what is happening.
3. Ubuntu minimum uses kernel 2.6.31.22, and I use a later version, 2.6.33.5. Should I use 2.6.31.22 or 2.6.33.5?

I read in some website and thought of giving a shot at the pae enabled kernel as i was having 6GB of RAM available in my system. I couldn't use 64bit system because i have a lot of applications that are not available in 64bit. I use a few customised software (From my office corporate) they are 32bit too.
Here is what i did..
sudo install linux-generic-pae
It installed a few headers and packages additionally required.
and i did a reboot.
[Code]...
An alternate solution to use all the 6GB is also welcome... using the current pae enabled kernel. do i need to install any additiona drivers..While i try to load Xwindows.. I get the following error.A long error report is generated and at the end "No Xwindows system installed.."

Please install the package with full kernel sources for your distribution or use --with-kernel=dir option to specify another directory with kernel sources (default is /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.el5xen/source). my friends installed the alsa for cent os 5.4...how to rectify this...

I have installed Arch Linux quite a few weeks ago; but I'm still trying my best to install the nividia display driver for my graphics card (nVidia Geforce 2 MX 400). Not only in Arch but have tried installing on other distros and still failed. I have read up all the documentations and I still find it hard to do this task. When I used the terminal and executed the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-94.43.01-pkg1.run file without any window manager running, I get this problem:
Quote: ERROR: Unable to determine the version of the kernel sources located in '/lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/build'. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel and that they are properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' or 'kernel-devel' RPM installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path' command line option.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at [URL].
Now I'm using Arch Linux Kernel 2.6.35 and I have got the source. But where am I suppose to put it now? I do not want to change the kernel. I just want the nVidia installer to identify that there is a kernel source so that it can install. I have searched up a lot on websites and ended up with no proper guide. This is a very old driver. So since now I have the nVidia driver installation package and also the kernel source

Dell laptop booting from a USB stick with a CentOS 5.5 minimum installation.
Uncompressing Linux...OK, booting the kernel.
Red Hat nash version 4.2.1.13 starting
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
mount: error 2 mounting none
switchroot: mount failed: 22
umount /initrd-dev failed: 2
Kernel panic - no syncing: Attempted to kill init!
1. Does minimum installation not drop on a kernel or initrd with ext3 support? I can't imagine that's true, but have to ask.
2. The USB stick is single partition ext3. Maybe there is some limitation specifically related to USB stick booting that requires boot to be FAT16 or FAT32? Except the CentOS 5.5 installer refuses to let me install on either FAT.
3. How can I do the equivalent of lsmod on a linux installation that will not boot? i.e. I have CentOS x86_64 running in VirtualBox, I can plug the USB stick in there, so how do I get information on the USB stick's kernel and initrd if I can't boot from it?
4. Is it possible to rebuild the i386 based initrd on this USB stick, when the computer is not booted from that stick, with a system that's x86_64 based?
System Info:
Dell Latitude i686 Laptop which has run CentOS 5.5 and Fedora 12,13,14 in the past, and boots from Fedora 14 Live CD transferred to a USB stick. So I know USB booting is possible on this machine, and this stick.
The process of creating the stick:
CentOS 5.5 i386 on a USB stick. Old Dell i686 laptop which has previously run CentOS 5.5 installed from DVD, and has successfully booted from this same USB stick holding transferred Fedora 12,13,14 Live CDs. CentOS 5.5 was installed onto the USB drive directly by the CentOS 5.5 DVD installer (running virtualized in VirtualBox 4.02 on Mac OS X 10.6.5.). No errors or complaints during installation.
For whatever reason, the installer did not do some things correctly. First Grub wasn't working correctly, I got that sorted out and have the Grub+CentOS splash screen, it finds vmlinuz and the initrd, and then I get a kernel panic.
Ext3 was built into the kernel and that's why I'm getting this message. I do not know how the installer would have dropped a kernel or initrd during instalation that that don't contain such a basic thing that obviously comes in linux kernel 2.6.18-89 EL.

I'm trying to install a driver for a Jetway ADPE4S Daughterboard on Ubuntu 10.04 but coming up against some problems. When I use 'make', I get this error: make ARCH=x86_64 CC=cc LD=ld CROSS_COMPILE= V= -C /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.32 M=`pwd` modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.32'

Not knowing what to do, I've been playing around with it, and copied the files autoconf.h and auto.conf from a folder '/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-25-generic', but that didn't help, it still says "No rule to make target `code'. Stop."

For some reason, my kernel got uninstalled. I have only file called "initrd.img-2.6.26-1-xen-amd64.bak" in my /boot folder. The only other thing is a 'grub' folder. I booted into a rescue OS, but is there a way to install a kernel manually so that I can boot into my original OS again? Can I just download a vmlinuz file into that folder and then fix my menu.lst?

I had a working ubuntu 10.10 system two days ago with kernel 2.6.35-24. I have a gtx 460 card so I have the driver from Jockey/Additional Drivers installed.
Two days ago update manager prompted me to install 2.6.35-25. I've never had problems updating kernels so I did. I Rebooted my machine and gdm/gnome no longer starts. I always get stuck on the tty1 screen. I did some troubleshooting and figured out that my current NVidia drivers seems to be messing it up. So I booted into my older kernel (2.6.35-24) and removed my NVidia driver.
I used these steps to switch from nvidia to nouveau:
NvidiaDriverSwitching
I can now boot into my latest kernel (2.6.35-25) but now I'm having problems trying to reinstall the nvidia drivers.
jockey sometimes doesn't list any available drivers. and when it does, it gives me an "System InstallArchive() error" when trying to install.
I tried installing nvidia-current via apt-get and I get these errors:
Code:
Setting up nvidia-current (260.19.06-0ubuntu1) ...
Removing old nvidia-current-260.19.06 DKMS files...
dkms.conf: Error! No 'DEST_MODULE_LOCATION' directive specified.

I have downloaded the newest most stable Linux kernel, 2.6.33.2.
I thought I would test this using VirtualBox. So I create a dynamically sized harddisk of 4 GB. And installed CentOS 5.3 with just the minimum packages.
I setup the make menuconfig with just the default settings.
After that I ran make and got the following error:
The amount of space I have left is:
My virtual size is 4 GB, but the actual size is 3.5 GB.
How much size should I give when compiling and installing a Linux kernel? Are there any guidelines to follow when doing this? This is my first time, so just experimenting with this.

I am compiling kernel to learn it and as well as for edubook, a netbook I am working on. I wanted to put the compilation under my home directory and followed the syntax suggested in the README in /usr/src/linux,like,
Quote:
'make o=/home/pbhat/temp/kcompile menuconfig'
Like this I have gone through full compilation successfully,but see no output going to the specified folder.Could anybody point out where I went wrong? I was compiling under /usr/src/linux and in Opensuse 11.2.I followed the README apparently written by Linus where I saw the above make syntax.Maybe that is old and hold good no more.

I am trying to install ndiswrapper, and have gotten as far as extracting the .gz file. However, when I type in the "make" command, it returns the error message:
Cannot find kernel version in /usr/src/linux-2.6.21.5, is it configured? Stop.
I do not have anything in the folder /usr/src, so I don't know where it might be. I'd like to install this, so it will make my switch to Linux easier.

I tried to build linux-2.6.36 but I got this error message
Code:
I looked into gcc-version.sh but the problem is located somewhere else I thought at first one of the files might have been corrupted and I downloaded the archive again.
I must also say that this happened in different versions of slackware (the distro I use): 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, 13.1

I'm currently using Fedora 12 with kernel 2.6.31.9 and I was trying to upgrade to 2.6.32.2. These are the steps I followed. After rebooting and choosing this kernel from the Grub menu, I'm just greeted with a black screen with a blinking cursor and it won't proceed beyond that.
These are the commands I issued. I received an error on the first make modules about the mismatch. I then ran CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y and once finished I ran make modules again and it completed successfully.
Code:
Downloaded kernel package 2.6.32.2 from www.kernel.org
untar archive
make menuconfig (no changes made, saved config file)

If I have a hard-disk with Ubuntu fully installed on it and I want to - all of a sudden - use Windows XP, is it mandatory that I firstly format the hard-disk first? So far, I have used two versions of Windows XP; one of them is from a few years before the other. Both copies of Windows XP when in start-up from booting from CD are causing errors. One of them is a BSOD error (0x0000007B) and the next Windows CD is stopping and giving me an error with setupdd.sys (error code 4). Is it required that the hard-disk is formatted before you even put a Windows boot CD in?
