Hi all,
Tried to recompile kernel 2.2.10 get no obvious warnings (to me that is) did use the kernel-package README For the Brave and the impatient: Phase ONE: Getting and configuring the kernel 1% cd <kernel source tree> 2% make config # or make menuconfig or make xconfig and configure Phase TWO: Create a protable kernel image .deb file 3% make-kpkg clean 4% fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image Phase THREE: Install the kernel image on one or more machines 5# dpkg -i ../kernel-image-X.XXX_1.0_<arch>.deb 6# shutdown -r now # If and only if LILO worked or you have a means of # booting the new kernel. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!! Looks good to me but!!! when I reboot I get the following: from xconsole: .. .. kernel: Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.2.10 kernel: Loaded 8488 symbols from /boot/System.map-2.2.10. kernel: Symbols match kernel version 2.2.10. kernel: No module symbols loaded. .. .. and in the console before X is started it complains about "can't locate module xxxxxxxx" (or something similar) for alot of modules. and later when running for example pon I get modprobe: can't locate module char-major-6 I have in /usr/src drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 2048 Aug 9 17:28 kernel-source-2.2.10 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root src 20 Aug 9 16:49 kernel -> kernel-source-2.2.10 in /boot -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 695454 Aug 9 17:28 vmlinuz-2.2.10 (I guess this is created by "dpkg -i kernel-image....deb" ?) in / lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Aug 9 17:07 vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-2.2.10 in /lib/modules drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 Aug 9 17:34 2.2.10 in /lib/modules/2.2.10 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Aug 9 17:28 misc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 111 Aug 9 17:34 modules.dep drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Aug 9 17:32 net so what is wrong ?
