Ubuntu :: Running Newly Compiled Kernel - 2.6.39 ?

Jun 9, 2011

I have been trying to build linux from source code and run it from my machine (intel platform).

Here's what I did:

Code:

I am using Grub2. When I rebooted the new kernel was in the grub list all right. But booting from that kernel fails with no errors or warning. The screen just goes blank. The disk usage indicator LED also doesn't glow which I guess means that the kernel isn't being read from the disk. I rebooted using my older kernel and it booted properly. Then, when I listed my /boot directory, I noticed that there was no initrd.img for 2.6.39. kernel in there, which I think is the problem.

Ubuntu :: VMware Can't Work - Window Says - Several Modules Must Be Compiled And Loaded Into The Running Kernel?

Nov 25, 2010

I have installed VMware (VMware-Player-3.0.1-227600.x86_64.bundle) on my laptop. When I open Vmware from Applications/System Tools/VMware Player.I get a window that says: VMware Kernel Module Updater Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel.When I click on install and after putting in my passwd.a window comes up with a list:

General :: Use A Newly Compiled Dynamic Linker?

Feb 16, 2011

install a newly compiled linker as the default linker on my VM running Ubuntu. I compiled and installed a new custom kernel on my VM (linux-2.6.36) and also compiled (not install) a custom gnu c library (glibc-2.11.2) on the newly installed custom kernel. I am able to run a simple helloworld.c program to verify that my program worked successfully using the newly build dynamic linker in the /elf directory.

I want to replace the real linker inside /lib with the new linker that I compiled. I tried to make the soft link named ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 that originally points to the real linker file ld-2.11.1.so, point to my newly compiled linker, but my VM crashed. I also tried moving the compiled linker and wrote it over the original linker, and the VM crashed. None of the commands worked after that as they could not access any of the shared libraries and I received this error '/bin/bash: No such file or directory'. I also tried to change the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to my linker and did not have any luck there either.

General :: Install New Module On Newly 2.6.35-rc5 Kernel?

Jul 16, 2010

Recently I was trying to look into vmware pvscsi modules for newly announced linux kernel 2.6.35-rc2. I compiled the kernel with option: make oldconfig where it asked me for various interactive options and all I did is Kept pressing the Enter ENTER key(Donno if that is the correct way to slect default ).The Kernel Compilation anyway went fine and I can see new kernel at grub screen, booted and it went fine.Now when I explored I found that nor the vmware_balloon and vmw_pvscsi modules are present which means I need to install these modules.I came to know that recently a new version of the vmware memory drivers being included through this page:

[URL]

where you can see an entry like:

Code:

MODULE_AUTHOR("VMware, Inc.");
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("VMware Memory Control (Balloon) Driver");
-MODULE_VERSION("1.2.1.0-K");
+MODULE_VERSION("1.2.1.1-k");

Doesn't it mean that the new kernel has new driver version inboxed?Also, I tried to install modules through modprobe and insmod(seems that this doesnt work) but couldnt do that.

Fedora :: Modules Not Being Compiled With 14 Kernel Compile?

I am attempting to compile the linux-2.6.35.13 kernel from kernel.org to use with an installation of Fedora 14 (2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64). I've done this before with different kernel versions for older versions of Fedora, but I've encountered a new problem this time. Whenever I get to the "make install" step, I get the following:Quote:

General :: Compiled A Kernel With TUN/Bridge Support But Cannot Find /dev/net/tun?

Jan 20, 2011

I compiled my own kernel with tun/tap and bridge support. Both modules load fine at boot time (I could read that in the dmesg output). Now I want to use it, and the /dev/net/tun node is not there, so my application gives that error. I'm trying to bridge openvpn connections. Is it possible that udevd is not doing his work?

PS: I'm on a WD MyBook World Ed NAS device. It's ARM, so I cross compiled the kernel from my debian linux machine. I also installed debian on the NAS.)

General :: Nvidia Driver Is Not Working After Using A Self Compiled Kernel (2.6.38)?

Mar 19, 2011

About a month ago, I decided to go deeper in my Linux knowledge. I've been reading a lot and found out that Arch linux would be my learning distro. As I was installing Arch, it was a pain at first but I really learned a lot which I would never ever learn with Mint. Now I decided to take a step further is which "compiling your own kernel".

MY PROBLEM:

Everything was smooth in my Arch for a 2 weeks until I decided to compile my own kernel. I currently have a Nvidia GTX 460 1GB card.

BTW, the method I used to install nvidia with 2.6.37 was

Code:
pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils
and that worked with all of the .37 kernels (-1 -2 -3 -4) which was download from kernel.org.

When I compiled the .38 (using the same .config of .37), it just boots up to the terminal (not loading gdm). However, I could still login by typing my username and password. So I've checked dmesg of both .37 and .38 and noticed that the Nvidia driver is not loaded in .38.

I tried reinstall it by running pacman and it doesn't do anything. It was thinking of uninstalling nvidia and nvidia-utils but there are so many dependencies conflicts (like screensaver, compiz, etc).

Since, I didn't want to mess up my .37 install, I just grabbed an old HDD and installed from scratch again. This time, I compiled the .38 kernel first (without gui) and then installed nvidia nvidia-utils. It was the same problem.

With this observation, I'm concluding that the nvidia and nvidia-utils from pacman is not compatible with .38.

I've read that I have to wait for nvidia to release a driver that will be compatible with the .38 kernel. Is that true? Does it mean I have to wait for nvidia/nvidia-utils to be updated from pacman? How would I know when it is updated?

I've also read about nouveau, but I guess that is not for me because it doesn't support 3D.

Is there a work around for me to use nvidia/nvidia-utils with .38?

Is nvidia and nvidia-utils proprietary drivers? What is the difference with these two and the one you download directly from nvidia?

First of all, I apologize for the bombardment of questions. As you can tell, I'm so clueless on how nvidia drivers work on linux in general (since it was spoon fed by mint) and I really would love to learn about this is a deeper level. Could someone please explain to me (LAYMANS terms) how nvidia works (and possibly a solution to my issue).

EDIT: Additional info - I have a netbook that also runs arch. It uses an Intel GMA integrated video chip which I used "xf86-video-intel" from pacman and I believe since it is open source, it works with .38 fine. So does that mean if you use an open source driver, it will work with all other kernels?

It then takes me to the login screen, and once I enter my password it just takes me back to the login.

Ubuntu Servers :: 11.04 (Headless) Running Into Kernel Panic On Startup

Apr 29, 2011

I'm new to ubuntu and I wanted to setup a headless server (Asus Hummingbird, 2GB RAM, Ubuntu Server 11.04). The installation was successful but: After I tried starting my server without any connected monitor, the server did not start -> I run into a kernel panic (if I connect the monitor after a while I can see the messages on the screen, Keyboard lights flash...). What do I have to do to get the machine running without any monitor? My second problem is, that the Network is always powered down on system power down -> no WOL is possible. Is there an easy way of enabling the WOL function? I tried several things from different tutorials but nothing worked...

Ubuntu Installation :: Running A Patch Every Time A Kernel Upgrades?

Jul 13, 2011

This morning I ran the automatic upgrade provided on the repositories, updating my kernel from 2.6.38-8 to 2.6.38-10.Unfortunately, upon reboot I discovered that a series of patches I'd applied in order to get my wireless card on my desktop working had been undone (see I had to run a modified version of the instruction set in order to get my wireless back on.My question: is there a way to trigger this every time the kernel upgrades? I'd hate to have to run this cumbersome set of commands manually every time.

Hardware :: Running System To Kernel Config

Sep 21, 2010

I've read about some sort of tools that help with kernel configuration.Can anyone tell me anything about these?It seems that you use the tool(s) on a running system. You use the running system for a while. The tool(s) gathers data and leaves bread crumbs. The tool(s) then process the bread crumbs to create a candidate config file for a fresh kernel build. The goal is a kernel build that contains parts you actually use and omits parts you don't use or don't need -- all the while using arcane knowledge of dependencies among various kernel features to (hopefully) avoid building a still-born kernel.

I didn't really think the OS managed that so bit confused why it is happening.I booted into Windows 7 and with the exact same temps the fan drops back down to a quieter state

OpenSUSE Install :: Extract A Config From Running Kernel

Oct 17, 2010

I'm looking to extract a config from a working kernel..that much was pretty easy..all ya gotta do is "cp /proc/config.gz ." which will put it in whatever directory you're currently in and then do a "gzip -d config.gz" to get the config file.

Now...after that it gets a bit tricky..Linus says you should never compile a kernel in /usr/src/ because those header files in ../include should never change. He says you should extract a new kernel gz in your home directory and compile it there. I tend to agree (who am I to argue?). Anyway..whereever your sources are this is where you need to copy the config file...

Like this...my home dir is "/home/dart". So I would put the kernel sources there under "/home/dart/linux". I would cd to /home/dart/linux and do "cp /proc/config.gz ." then "gzip -d config.gz" which should leave you with a file called "config", then "mv config .config"

Now here's where I run into a problem..when I do "make xconfig" I get this...

Tried to install the qt3-devel packages from CD but guess what? I ran into cdrom errors which is what I was trying to fix in the first **** place...catch 22 eh?
