I have a need to experiment with a modified Moblin kernel on my Compal JAX10
device. As a first step, I am trying to recompile the moblin kernel
_unmodified_. I've been following the instructions here:
http://v1.moblin.org/projects/projects_kernel.php for recompiling the Moblin V1
kernel, but I suspect I'm not installing it correctly. The behavior I get is a
system that boots, but (I suspect that when it tries to start X) the screen
goes blank for a second, then comes back to the console for a second, then goes
blank again, and so on forever.
Notes about what I've done:
1. After following the instructions on the above link, I tried two ways to
install the kernel:
a. chroot <mic-project>/targets/<mytarget>/fs; dpkg -i
linux-menlow-developer-blah-blah.deb
-or-
b. cp -R <kernel source>/debian/linux-menlow-developer/boot/
<mic-project>/targets/<mytarget>/fs/boot
cp -R <kernel source>/debian/linux-menlow-developer/lib/
<mic-project>/targets/<mytarget>/fs/lib
2. Have MIC create a new live image and write it to my USB boot device.
Both attempts result in the ability to boot to either my new kernel or the
existing (working) kernel from MIC and both have the same screen blanking/no X
issue.
Note about issues with me:
*** I'm new to ubuntu/debian kernel recompilation. If I need a remedial course
in ubuntu, please feel free to point me in that direction.
*** I'm new to moblin, and I'm fairly certain I'm not always in the proper
'sandbox' (chroot) as I do these things. To recompile the kernel, I'm chroot'd
into the mic-project directory, but to install, I work under the target
filesystem.
I suspect I've not properly configured X or the display driver, but I'm not
sure where to go from here.
Cheers,
erik
