Ubuntu :: Recompiling Ubuntu Kernel

Mar 11, 2010

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.

Fedora :: Rebuilding Kernel Without Recompiling Eveything

Dec 24, 2009

If I compile the kernel once fully and if I wan't to make a minor change how do I do that without having to go through the whole recomiliation? Commands like "rpmbuild -bb" and "make rpm" seem to recompile everything but it should just compile the changes I made.I'm using Fedora 12 with the latest stable kernel.

Software :: Recompiling Kernel Required To Add Modules?

Jan 4, 2011

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?

Debian :: Recompiling Changed Code When Building Kernel Debs

Jan 15, 2016

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 use this guide: [URL] .... ('Building only a single kernel variant' section)

OpenSUSE :: Recompiling VirtualBox Vboxadd Kernel Module, NOT. It Has Been Packaged

Jun 29, 2011

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.

CentOS 5 Hardware :: Enable New Libata Library Without Recompiling Kernel?

Sep 9, 2009

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?

CentOS 5 :: Default Configuration Options For Upgrading And Recompiling Apache?

Oct 23, 2009

I'm currently upgrading my clients' CentOS 5 installation to use httpd-2.2.14 as we need it for the server to past some of the Hardware checks used in the PCI [Payment Card Industry] security test. I was basically wondering if anyone had the standard CentOS 'configure options' for building httpd/Apache so I could copy them to ensure it is a straight replacement for my existing 2.2.3?

OpenSUSE Network :: Reconfiguring / Recompiling The Sendmail Conf Files But Would Rather Not If It's Not Required + Milter?

Mar 22, 2011

I have gone through a good number of distros all the way back to Slackware but I'm struggling to get my brain moving in the right direction again. 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.

Ubuntu Installation :: Kernel 2.6.28.1 On 9.10 Grub Kernel Load Error

Jan 4, 2010

Over the past few days I have been trying to install an older kernel (kernel 2.6.28.1) on ubuntu 9.10 64-bit WUBI installation. I compiled, installed, and updated my grub for the kernel. When I reboot, the grub menu correctly gives me the option of booting into the older kernel but when I do so I receive the following error message:

error: you need to load the linux kernel first.

I am at a complete loss on how to fix this. I even downgraded grub but I still get the same error.

Ubuntu :: Update For A New Kernel, But Kernel Version Hasn't Changed

Jan 7, 2010

At the moment I am using kernel 2.6.31-14-generic. I'm not one of those people who needs to have the latest and greatest kernel to be happy, I just rely on the update manager. I swore that I saw an update for a new kernel, but my kernel version hasn't changed. I'm just curious if there was a new kernel that was released or if that was just an update to the kernel listed above.

Ubuntu Installation :: ATI Driver And New Kernel 2.6.35 Kernel - No Longer Work

Nov 24, 2010

With the recent upgrade kernel, my ATI driver can no longer work. After upgrading to the new kernel, upon reboot I would get stuck at the "checking battery status" and can't boot into kubuntu.

I'm running Kubuntu 10.10 64 on intel i5 with radeon hd 4870.

So I thought I messed something up since I was fooling around with conky script the day before. I did a clean install of kubuntu 10.10 64 and reset all my settings and my files. At this point, everything works smoothly and I can reboot multiple times without a problem.

I proceeded to install the Radeon catalyst driver following the documentation, which worked perfectly for me on the previous kernel. After rebooting, I can no longer get pass the "checking battery state" black screen. I had to boot into safe book, uninstall all fglrx and also delete xorg.conf to be able to boot back in normally.

Ubuntu :: 10.10 Kernel Updates Modifying Kernel Settings PenStick?

Jul 23, 2009

I have made a several modifications to my penstick running Xubuntu 10.10 that have greatly enhanced its performance. It took me several weeks to get to this point. I have added entries to /etc/rc.local and added kernel tweaks in /etc/grub.d/40_Custom so that my entries wont be erased. I have also added entries in my /etc/fstab. I have read this document in regards to the kernel but I am concerned about my /etc/fstab,/etc/rc.local and /etc/grub.d/40_Linux files being overwritten from updates.

[URL]

I am concerned about when one of my users decides he wants to run his updates via apt-get or package managers that all of the configs that I have done will be wiped away.

Ubuntu Installation :: Kernel Update On 9.04 To Kernel 2.6.28.18 No Nvidia?

Feb 5, 2010

9.04 this morning updated my kernel to I believe it is 2.6.28.18 and upon the reboot I had no desktop. It booted wanting to go into low graphics.

So I drop to shell and stop the gdm and try to run the latest nvidia run file I have and it hangs saying I have a x server running.

Otherwise I am needing assistance with getting my desktop back! I can boot into an older kernel and if need be I would like to roll back that latest update this morning, but once again I am forgetting the command line for that.

Ubuntu :: Difference Between Kernel 'source Code' And Kernel Itself

Jul 3, 2011

It sounds like he's making a difference between the kernel "source code" and the kernel itself(as in the downloaded file/ files) but the way he talks about both is the same.So then, if one had already "installed" the "kernel sources code," why would he need the "tarball with the newest Linux kernel?" He's already "installed" a kernel, right?
