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.

Fedora :: Custom Kernel - Where To Pull RPM

Jun 18, 2011

This is (I'm sure) a silly question, but when reading the guide for custom kernel [url] it mentions I need to use yumdownloader to pull the source as an RPM.

How exactly do I find mirrors etc for this (and where do I configure it)?

I've already got the source locally along with the patches I want to use, and want to try this the 'fedora' way. I'd normally just use make/make modules etc, but I've never tried it via RPM.

Fedora :: Kmow-wl Package For Custom Kernel

May 16, 2010

i just upgraded myself with all available packages from the kde-testing, and fedora-updates-testing repo's. i am dealing with one problem..... i am running kernel:

Code:

@localhost ~]$ uname -r
2.6.32.10-44.fc11.i686.PAE

however,, there are no kmod-wl packages for that kernel, so i have no wireless at the moment. how do i build / obtain kmod-wl package for my kernel? rebuilding the kmow-wl src packages does occure in build for an older kernel:

the command

Code:

rpmbuild -ba --target=`uname -m` wl-kmod.spec

results in:

Code:

Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /home/-/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/wl-kmod-5.60.48.36-1.fc11.4.i386

Fedora :: No Sound In GNOME With Custom Kernel?

Apr 6, 2011

I have a strange and inexplicable problem I've never had before - I can play audio as usual from the terminal on Fedora 14 with my custom 2.6.38 kernel. But, when I log into GNOME, any attempt to use an application that uses audio gives me a "permission denied". The "Sound preferences" shows a dummy output device and no entry in the "hardware" section. Using the distro kernel and a 2.6.33.7-rt kernel from planet ccrma works fine.

Is there anything I'm supposed to build into the kernel that Fedora 14 requires that wasn't a requirement for earlier versions?

Fedora :: Install An Older Kernel - Custom - But RPM Wont Let ?

Mar 3, 2010

I am building a series of custom kernels...for one of them i am using a kernel that is older than my currently installed ones.

I am using rpm to install this kernel and it will not install, period. i don't get why i can't install this....what does it matter that i am installing an older kernel? and why is fedora/rpm designed to not let me do this?

Code:

There should be an easy way to get around this, but i haven't figured it out yet. i've googled around, no luck. i bounce between kernel versions all the time without problems on my system, so why is rpm setup for strict versions on a kernel? and is there no way around this, and i just have to delete all three of those kernels, i don't really want to. 2 of them are awesome and i shouldn't have to build them again, that would be complete crap! and i wouldn't have this problem on my debian setup, so why fedora? (i generally think fedora is better)

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.

Fedora Installation :: Erratic Install Results W/initrd - Custom Spins With Custom Drivers - Modules?

Dec 28, 2009

Just spent three whole days barking up the wrong tree, solving Fedora 11 and Fedora 12 boot failures because the correct hypothesis was illogical: installation did not update/modify the initrd.

The first couple of times I installed Fedora 11 on the HighPoint Technologies RocketRaid 2640x4, the installation inserted my "custom" driver module (rr26xx) into the initrd, permanently, so that the system booted off the controller card for which the custom driver was inserted. (I yelled about this success in this thread: [url]

My most recent installs of BOTH F11 and F12 on the RocketRaid failed to properly set up the boot. It turns out that the "rr2640" module I "slipstreamed" into the installation process was *NOT* permanently added to the initrd by anaconda. (F12 gave me "no root device found boot has failed, sleeping forever", on boot; F11 hung also, without such error, I presume, during the init script execution). Because of limited resources and time, I only know for sure the module was missing from the F11 initrd, and am ASSUMING the same was the case with F12.

The only difference between the successful installs and the ones with failed boot is that the successful installs were made on a single-drive (JBOD) mode on the controller; whereas, the failed ones were placed on RAID 5. But, AFAIK, the created logical device for the card is "/dev/sda", in both cases, and the kernel can not distinguish between the two cases (or can it?). Thus, the inconsistency cost me a lot of time, and is still inexplicable to me.

Question: What is the best way to deal with custom drivers, today? There are custom spins, and many tools, like isomaster. Stupid question: Is there a way to modify the initrd inside an installer ISO -- be it for CD/DVD/USBboot drive -- beefing the init RAM disk with whatever modules you'd like, for the boot process (using, say, isomaster)?

And what makes anaconda understand that a module must be added to the initrd ? How can one force anaconda to do so?

How does moving to dracut as the initrd tool affect any/all of the above?

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.

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 :: 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

General :: Custom Kernel Not Booting

Oct 7, 2010

Had a custom kernel (2.6.35.5) running under Slackware 12.1 and also the same kernel on an Ubuntu 10.04 machine just fine, however after a clean install of Slackware 13.1 this kernel no longer works (This kernel was re-compiled with the same .config file under Slack 13.1) as I keep getting the the following: -Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,3) The strange thing is it keeps looking for the root file system in hda1, however the stock 13.1 kernel finds it in /dev/sda1 so the root partition is /dev/sda1 in lilo and the harddisk is known as /dev/sda.

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?

Debian :: Modify The Source Of A Custom Kernel?

Slackware :: Custom Built 2.6.37 Kernel And ACPI

Feb 12, 2011

I have a custom built 2.6.37 kernel where I have most of my devices compiled into the kernel. The only modules are related to nouveau (in case I want to go back to proprietary nvidia) and sound drivers. Everything seems to be running fine. However, in /proc/acpi, I'm missing a number of entries, such as thermal_zone/, dsdt, etc. I do have ac_adapter/, battery/, button/, event, processor/ and wakeup. I've gone through what I think is a very detailed review of my kernel config, and I can't find where I've missed something ACPI related. Here is my kernel config with the ACPI section.

Code:
# Power management and ACPI options
CONFIG_ARCH_HIBERNATION_HEADER=y
CONFIG_PM=y
# CONFIG_PM_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP_SMP=y
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP=y
CONFIG_SUSPEND_NVS=y
CONFIG_SUSPEND=y
CONFIG_SUSPEND_FREEZER=y
CONFIG_HIBERNATION=y .....

Slackware :: Custom Kernel, Now System Is Unbootable?

Jun 26, 2011

I compiled my own custom kernel for the first time. I tinkered with different options, nothing to difficult. I actually didn't expect it to work the first time.

I had kept the original lilo boot config just in case something was to go wrong. Now when I try to boot the system, I always get a "VFS: cannot mount root system on (8,3)". I googled this and found that my kernel did not support my root filesystem (btrfs). So I made an initrd with btrfs kernel module, but it didn't help. I then got a string of errors about how /dev could not be mounted.

My question is two-fold. First, how come when I configure the system back to when it was first installed, it still won't boot? Im using the same kernel (2.6.37.6-smp). Second, how can I get myself out of this rut without reinstalling?

lilo.conf

Code:
lba32
append=" vt.default_utf8=0"
boot=/dev/sda
vga = normal
# Linux - Slackware
image = /boot/vmlinuz-huge-smp-2.6.37.6-smp
root = /dev/sda3
label = Linux
read-only

BTW, I have been maintenancing the system by chrooting into the device off of my slackware boot disk. Im on slack 13.37

OpenSUSE Install :: Installation From USB Stick With Custom Kernel

Feb 10, 2010

i need to install openSUSE 11.2 from an USB stick. I followed this article SuSE install from USB drive - openSUSE using the openSUSE-11.2-NET-i586.iso. Unfortunately the kernel provided in this image doesn't load on my target as it needs a few extra modules for its chipset.

Thus i copied our custom kernel (which is verified to run on the target) and its initrd to the usb stick and i also created a new entry in the syslinux.config. The kernel loads, but then it can't find the root device.Does anybody know, how i need to configure the initrd to make the USB stick the root device?
