I compiled kernel-2.6.32-71.24.1 on 32-bit rhel6, but there is no kvm.ko. what if I want to use kvm on 32-bit rhel6.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install kernel-2.6.32-71.24.1.el6.src.rpm
2. rpmbuild -ba kernel.spec
3. find /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.32-71.24.1.el6/linux-2.6.32-71.24.1.el6.i686/-name kvm.ko
Actual results:
not found kvm.ko
Does RHEL6 include smp kernel? When I run uname -arn it does #SMP but I want to confirm if a seperate RPM like kernel-smp-* is included in default installation.

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?

Has anyone successfully compiled Symantec AV Autoprotect against the current Ubuntu Kernel?
I am using the kernel 2.6.24-27-generic. I'm following these instructions for Symantec Autoprotect: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-security.nsf/docid/2009081214270148

I'm using xubuntu 10.10 on usb, and i compile a new kernel but just i cannot access it. If I used harddisk instead of usb, simply, i can select my new kernel version in grub screen. However, there is no grub when booting from usb. So i cannot any selection.how can i reach the new kernel, when using xubuntu on usb?

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 using the Debian stock kernel. I want a minimal kernel that works on my Pentium 4, 1GB DDR RAM machine. What do I have do to get a less resource hungry OS. Is there already a minimal kernel binary available?

I'd like to include architecture specific flags instead of the generic i686 ones if possible.
So far, my tests have revealed that Arch Linux runs faster than Debian several media apps. I initially thought this was due to the i686 optimization of Arch, but other mentioned it could simply be a kernel timer issue.
I know for a fact the differences aren't due to bloat, and I've installed both OSes from minimal install means. Only the absolutely needed dependencies have been installed.
our prof wants us to make some measurable changes in the kernel as a part of our assignment. I'm new to linux (started using linux only day b4 yest)... till now i've built a new kernel using cloneconfig and ended up with a rpm package (since i couldnt find any other option).and here's the prob
1. how to make changes in the kernel code?
2. do i have to create an rpm everytime after a change? (it jus takes too long )
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 upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 2.6.32-10-generic today. After a succesful update that fixed a couple of nagging problems on my laptop (nice work guys) I started VMware Workstation. I got the expected "Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled..."
The compile errors out and points to the setup log. I have searched and found several very similar posts all relating to build-essential or kernel-headers not being installed. I have verified both are installed and up to date.
Here's the important part of the log:
