to the upstream linux-3.2.y tree.
AymanHotmail: here's a simpler recipe. :)
# prerequisites:
apt-get install git build-essential
# grab a copy of the kernel
git clone -o stable \
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git \
linux
cd linux
# check out the linux-3.2.y branch
git checkout stable/linux-3.2.y
# configure it
cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config; # use standard configuration
make localmodconfig; # optional: minimize configuration
# build and test
make deb-pkg; # optionally with -j<n> for parallel build
dpkg -i ../<name of package>
reboot
# hopefully it reproduces the problem. So:
# apply the patch
git cherry-pick -x -s b189e810619a
# build and test
make deb-pkg; # optionally with -j4
dpkg -i ../<name of package>
reboot
# and you're done!
Hello again
Thanks a lot for the instructions, much easier
Following the steps on your email, actually got me the 3.2.2 kernel (not
the 3.2.1 kernel) and produced me an i386 binary (not i486), I hope it's
ok and I didn't do anything wrong while compiling the kernel.
It did reproduced the kernel panic, and repeating the same steps again
with the patch did solve the problem (actually I'm writing this email
running the patched one, something I couldn't do before).
So the issue is resolved ( again hoping it doesn't matter using the
3.2.2 kernel and compiling an i386 deb package).
Please inform me of any following steps or info I have to provide.
Thanks a lot for your time and patience
Best regards
Ayman
