I only have basic experience recompiling a Linux kernel, and I have a question about adding dynamic modules.In case I want to add a brand new module, do I need to recompile the kernel to include a reference to that new module, or is simply compiling a kernel with generic support of dynamic modules all it takes to add whatever modules I need later on, without recompiling the kernel and rebooting the host?
View 2 RepliesI was wondering how/if it was possible to edit the min. version number of a depen for a .deb package. For example lets say my package says it needs libc6 2.7.1 or higher but I want it to be 2.5.1 or higher instead. Can I make this change with out having to recompile the .deb package?

I am working to enable sendmail and, from what I've read, it appears that newer version of sendmail are installed with milter but I can't seem to locate this. I am running v11.4 so I'm wondering if this is just not the case? I don't have a problem reconfiguring/recompiling the sendmail conf files but would rather not if it's not required. For the record my ultimate goal is to have the spamassassin and clamav milter's installed and using the home server as our primary email.

How do I force recompilation of the kernel .deb packages. After a small change I make to the sources without having to clean the sources and recompile the whole kernel again?
Code: Select all$ fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen setup_i386_none_686
$ fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen binary-arch_i386_none_686 binary-indep
Calling the second command again does not recompile the modified code, just recreates the .deb packages.
If I use:
Code: Select all$ make -f debian/rules clean before the build command, then it will recompile everything which takes ages.
How can I force recompilation of the files/objects I changed (and dependencies)?

I just up-graded to the latest version of the stable 11.4 64bit kernel on my laptop and it appears that the repositories have not compiled the VirtualBox driver module for the current kernel ... When I make /vboxdrv setup the message is:
Recompiling VirtualBox vboxadd kernel module, NOT. It has been packaged
I think this means that the installed module will not recompile has it was packaged. My kernel version is the lattest :
2.6.37.6-0.5-1
And my VirtualBox was installed from the Virtualization repos (4.0.8.11-1) even made the Vendor change and all. The version Before the lattest (4.0.4-1.6) did not work either. With the same problem. It is very easy to install VirtualBox from the Sun site and every time there is a Kernel up-date one can always make /etc/vboxdrv setup.
I use CentOS 5.3 with kernel 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 for Clonezilla. It would be simpler for me if any of IDE or SATA drives detects as /dev/sdX device. Because when I cloning computers with Clonezilla it is matter which type of drive connected to cloned computer. So I must firstly clone computers with IDE drives, after that with SATA drives. If all drives would detected as /dev/sda I would can clone all computers at once! Is there simple way to enable new libata library without recompiling kernel? Is there already compiled kernels with this feature?

I am trying to compile a kernel 2.6.31-12 in my machine which is running ubuntu 9.0(kernel version 2.6.31-14). I don't have internet connection on that machine. I somehow downloaded the kernel sources on some other machine and copied it the my PC which is running ubuntu.I have installed the kernel sources (.gz file) by un-zipping and un-tarring the archive. For compiling the kernel I am following the traditional approach:
1. make oldconfig ( make menu config is not working )
2. make dep
2. make clean
3. make bzImage
4. make modules
5. make modules_install
6. make install
7. Modify the /boot/grub/grub.cgf
I didnt encounter any error in the above steps till step no. 6. However in the
step 7, I am not getting the /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31.12 file which is needed for the ramfs. However I am getting the vmlinuz file in the /boot.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have just compiled a new kernel. When I boot into this new kernel and do an lsmod it is only running two modules.

I am running Ubuntu 10.04. The new kernel is 2.6.32.15+drm33.5. The kernel seems to work fine but I need to know why and how it can only be running two modules.

The relevant directories are in a mess. Several diff versions, broken links, the works.
