building 2.6.35
in [Debian]
|
From: Alexander Samad on 7 Aug 2010 22:50 Hi I am looking at how to build 2.6.35 the debian way so I end up with deb packages. the current situation is 2.6.35 is avail in experimental (>?!) with out a linux-kbuild packages - last time I asked about this it was because they only wanted people who understood how to build to play with the new linux-image. what ever the reason thats cool. I would like to install and play with the new kernel and I need headers. So I have had a look here http://wiki.debian.org/HowToRebuildAnOfficialDebianKernelPackage, there is a section on building linux-kbuild - but guess what the svn co downloads the 2.6.34 version :( I found this http://www.linuxconfig.org/building-kernels-the-debian-way - the comment down the bottom with the script - looks promising. going to give this a try. sudo CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=4 make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image kernel_headers modules_image <- this seems todo most of the work So my thoughts were to start out with .config from 2.6.34 make olconfig it and then customise it from there. I seem to remember you could some how get the src package for linux-kbuild of experimental and thus just build it from there Any help comments would be appreciated Alex -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

See also the old newbiedoc too. http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html > sudo CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=4 make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image You shouldn't compile using root permissions. You don't need to use sudo there and it is not desired. > kernel_headers modules_image <- this seems todo most of the work > > So my thoughts were to start out with .config from 2.6.34 make > olconfig it and then customise it from there. Yes. Start out using the previous config and then build the new kernel using that as a starting point. I have previously built kernels using a command line like this (where "-2" is the second custom build): $ fakeroot make-kpkg --append_to_version -2-686-custom modules_image If you want to set the concurrency level then the right shell syntax is to put that first on the command line. $ CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=4 fakeroot make-kpkg --append_to_version -3-686-custom modules_image Bob
From: Bob Proulx on 8 Aug 2010 00:10 I should also say that I have the following in my ~/.devscripts file so as to always customize dpkg-buildpackage. DEBUILD_DPKG_BUILDPACKAGE_OPTS="-uc -us" That avoids signing the source or changes files. Which IMNHO really shouldn't be done as part of the build but only later when you are ready to sign off on the package. You can use debsign when ready. Bob

Though, I have been using the .config from the stock 2.6.32 kernel and customising it to fit, as when I tried to make my own from scratch it didnât boot. Regards, Angus ps, I have been having a weird bug with make-kpkg where, after building kernel headers and installing them as well as the image, the /lib/modules/<kernel version name>/build symlink has been pointing to the linux src dir that I used to build the kernel rather than the headers dir in /usr/src/linux-headers-<kernel version name>, just a heads up to watch out for that, I havent bug reported it yet as im not sure what the bug is with, as it worked fine to start with! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The easiest way to get a kernel deb is to fetch vanilla sources from kernel.org, unpack them and run 'make && make deb-pkg'. I am not sure whether such packages create an initramfs on installation by default, nowadays. J. -- In idle moments I remember former lovers with sentimental tenderness.
