Could anyone give me a quick bullet-point list of the stages of building a 2.6.8 powerpc kernel?
I'm used to the traditional method, but I'd like to do it the Debian way.
apt-get install kernel-source-2.6.8 cd /usr/src tar xvjf kernel-source-2.6.8.tar.bz2 cd kernel-source-2.6.8 make-kpkg --config=menuconfig configure make-kpkg binary cd .. dpkg -i kernel*2.6.8*.deb
I'm on the right track then. I've got to well through the build until:
*** No rule to make target `drivers/net/tg3.c', needed by `drivers/net/tg3.o'. Stop.
stops the build. :-(
Thought I'd missed something..
I've disabled the Broadcom tigon driver in config which fixed this...
It's late again - doh... ;-)
That driver was pulled from Debian kernel sources due to binary blobs in the source. You can patch it back in but I doubt you need to for PPC.
Isn't there a package for this though? I thought that code was simply moved to non-free.
Ben, was this configed in the kernel sources or did you just enable it by accident? Debian kernel sources right?
A lot of the new Dell 1u PE servers are using this Broadcom chipset these days.
