Ubuntu :: Compiling A Custom 64 Bit Kernel With BFS?

Aug 1, 2010

I would like to try and optimize my kernel a bit. Since I am doing this on a fresh install, I don't really care if the os gets bricked in the process, and I am sure I can bring it back if I can boot into a recovery console from the old kernel. So, I followed thispost. I patched it and copied and edited a config file from /boot/, saved it as .config, I tried it several times with both removing and not removing /debian and /debian.master directories from the source, yet I always get the same error when I run "make oldconfig".

Code:
$ make oldconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf -o arch/x86/Kconfig
*** Error during writing of the kernel configuration.
make[1]: *** [oldconfig] Error 1

Debian :: Custom Kernel Compiling.

Feb 23, 2010

I been trying all day to compile a kernel i downloaded from http://www.kernel.org/ (2.6.32.8 )Following this help thread viewtopic.php?t=4468.When i invoke make xconfig i'm just kinda lost at that point. Not really sure what to do, so i just save it as is and then compile/install.when i try to boot the kernel, a kernel panic happens saying it can't not mount the root partition.So i am sure i am missing a step with the xconfig part but not sure what.

Just the boot screen
Screen where I pick option 2, the cd installer
Image shows ubuntu but it is centos. forgot to change the menuentry description name in grub.conf
ROMimage present
The screen that I see after image 3

Red Hat / Fedora :: Compiling And Installing The Custom Kernel Under Fedora

Jun 22, 2011

I am compiling and installing the custom kernel based on the instructions provided in Building_a_custom_kernel on fedoraproject.org/wiki site.

However, according to the instructions, anytime I change anything in the kernel source files(e.g /driver/ata/libata-core.c), I have to create a patch a rebuild the whole kernel and install this new kernel which takes 2 hours. Is there a simpler way of recompiling what has changed(without creating patch) and try that changed kernel? Since my changes are not in the drivers which can be dynamically loaded but is in the static code of the kernel, it is making life cumbersome.Are there any instructions for this? How does other kernel developers manage this?

CentOS 5 :: Create A Custom Kernel Using 2.6.31.5 Kernel Source?

Oct 31, 2009

I'm running CentOS 5.3 and would like to know what the "best" or "proper" method is to build a custom kernel using the generic kernel sources from kernel.org. Most of the references I've found talk about modifying the current CentOS kernel using the RPM way. I really want to have the latest kernel due to some important security issues that haven't been addressed in the current CentOS 5.3 kernel.

Ubuntu :: 9.10 Custom Kernel V.2.6.33 Crash?

Apr 2, 2010

I wasn't using my laptop for at least a few hours, but when I looked at it, it had seemed to crash. I am hoping to figure out what caused this, and to prevent it from happening again. I believe it has something to do with drm or b43 as that is what I could decipher from the screen. I have checked some logs and found nothing irregular. I do not want this to happen again. I am running kernel 2.6.33.1 with no patches and a custom config tailored to my processor. The reason I am running 2.6.33.1 is because of support for my Wifi.

Ubuntu :: DKMS Not Compiling New Module Using New Kernel?

Mar 19, 2011

I'm trying to set it up so that I don't have to recompile the driver for my RAID card manually every time there is a kernel upgrade.I found a thread on it, here and a help page here, and it looks like it builds the module fine, but for some reason it's not being inserted into the new kernel, or something. It's like the new kernel doesn't know it exists, even tho modprobe -l shows the newly built module exists (and is in the correct place)Here's the script that I wrote up to get the drivers set up in DKMS:

Code:

Ubuntu :: Way To Insert Custom Kernel Int Lubuntu Iso?

Dec 22, 2010

All I want is a lxde based desktop to play with and tweak. The problem is that I am using rather esoteric hardware. An xcore86 device on chip to be precise. I have a custom kernel in deb format, and I managed to install UNR 9.10 and then install the custom kernel. Strip out as much obvious gnome stuff and install an lxde desktop. Now this is a quite good solution but still leaves me with a lot of junk that I am not sure I need. 2 ideas occurred to me. Install lubuntu and then install the custom kernel(this failed to work because lubuntu's kernel refused to play nicely with the xcore) or do a minimal install and work my way up adding the things that I wanted. (Again this ground to a halt when the screen went blank)

I looked at unetbootin to try and put in a custom kernel but to a novice like myself it did not work very well.Can anyone help, either a list of everything that can be removed safely from a UNR install to leave me with a minimal install, or a way to insert a custom kernel into a lubuntu iso?

Fedora :: Custom Kernel HDA Or SDA?

Oct 14, 2010

a stock fedora 11 install on my embedded board results in the primary CompactFlash card being driven by the SCSI driver and is called SDA..running my custom kernel which i have slimmed down and yanked out the SCSI stuff because I dont need it, results in my CompactFlash card being called HDA of course driven by the ATA driver.which should I be using? both work just fine.. the CompactFlash card is on board and according to Soekris is actually run from an IDE controller, as there is no SCSI on board..

so im assuming the less amount of system overhead is to run it as IDE?I have no issues running it either way I just want to do whats right.. and what is going to be supported in kernels down the line, as im considering a bump from my current 2.6.30 kernel upwards for my project.

Ubuntu :: Compiling Kernel With Bare Minimum Options?

I am looking to compile a kernel for my system which is a home built machine. This machine is stable and has not had any hardware changes in the past 2 years. I am trying to figure out exactly what modules and options to include in my custom kernel. Is there a way to see what modules are actually in use on my system and build a custom kernel based on that?

Ubuntu :: Compiling Individual Kernel Module From Qcserial.c?

Jan 4, 2011

I am trying to figure out how to compile qcserial.c kernel module from the latest kernel source file located in the 2.6.37-rc8 kernel tree. I have installed the sources for my current kernel 2.6.35-24-generic on maverick and it seems that my includes are not in the right place to make the qcserial.c file happy.

I overcame this issue by passing the -I option to gcc that points to the directories that it is looking for. I am currently getting errors while compiling and I was wondering if it is impossible to compile qcserial.c on my current kernel? I am looking to get the diagnostic port and GPS port enabled for my built-in 3G card.

I havent built modules for quite some time and that was on opensuse with the fglrx module.

Ubuntu Installation :: Stuck Compiling Kernel Using Localmodconfig

Jun 13, 2011

I'm about to compile a custom kernel using localmodconfig using the guide on this page. Everything's gone well but now I'm stuck. Can anyone work out what the syntax of the part in bold below is supposed to be? I have tried all combinations, e.g. linux-source-2.6.35-Myimage, and a few other permutations. Nothing seems to work.

Ubuntu kernels build with debugging information on, which makes the resulting kernel modules (*.ko files) much larger than they would otherwise be. To turn this off, go into the config's "Kernel hacking"<!-- ; then, under "Kernel debugging", --> and turn OFF "Compile the kernel with debug info".I've hit a few brick walls on the way but they turned out to be wet cardboard.

Debian :: Compiling A X86 Kernel From Amd64?

May 23, 2010

I tried to compile an x86 linux kernel from amd64 machine. It is giving errors even after installing "gcc-multilib" But I wonder, it should be simply doable becuase "gcc -m32" creates 32 bit binary . I would prefer to compile it natively on x86_64 rather than creating an exclusive x86 chroot for that. Has anyone tried this on native x86_64?

Fedora :: Compiling A Vanilla Kernel?

Apr 9, 2010

I am trying to compile a vanilla kernel that I got from git in a VirtualBox VM running Fedora 12. With RHEL (albeit on real hardware, not a VM), I am able to do a make; make modules_install; make install and simply able to boot up the kernel. The make install step, in particular, creates the initrd using /sbin/installkernel, which also updates the grub configuration.

Under Fedora 12, my new kernel does not boot. I see no messages on the screen, not even if I change the boot command line to remove quiet bootup. I see disk usage on the VM and the CPU gets pegged at 100%. Strangely enough, if I change the initrd to refer to an existing, Fedora-provided kernel, I can boot my new kernel without any problems. I started with a Fedora kernel config and used it to generate the config for my new 2.6.33 kernel, so it couldn't be the case that I missed something in the config either.

Does anybody have an idea about what could be going on? Is there some specific patch that Fedora kernels use that are essential for booting up?

Also, the guest Fedora OS is 64-bit, if that is relevant.

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:
