How to compile Kernel 2.6.32 on Debian Wheezy?
Hi, I would to like to use the rtai kernel patches on Debian Wheezy (Debian-Package rtai-source) on the i386 architecture, which are currently only available for various releases of Linux 2.6. As the most recent kernel patch included in rtai-source was hal-linux-2.6.32.11-x86-2.6-03.patch.gz, I first tried to compile the vanilla kernel 2.6.32.11 with gcc-4.7 from Wheezy and using make-kpkg (with .config copied from linux-image-2.6.32-5-686). It failed compiling ptrace.c (the problem has already been described in https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/9/281). Using the patch from the linux-kernel-mailinglist from above the compile process got further, but it fails at gcc -nostdlib -o arch/x86/vdso/vdso32-int80.so.dbg -fPIC -shared -Wl,--hash-style=sysv -m elf_i386 -Wl,-soname=linux-gate.so.1 -Wl,-T,arch/x86/vdso/vdso32/vdso32.lds arch/x86/vdso/vdso32/note.o arch/x86/vdso/vdso32/int80.o gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-m' gcc: error: elf_i386: No such file or directory As I am using an i386 system anyway, I simply patched -m elf_i386 away (which probably the Makefile when crosscompiling from amd64 to i386, see attached patch for details).

Re: How to compile and install the kernel
2009/10/1 surreal firewal...@gmail.com:
Thanks, I read that, compiled the kernel and its working.
But now I have a problem.
The kernel deb file gets installed, but it has got the same name ie Debian
Kernel 2.6.26 in /boot/grub/menu.lst..
I want to have the customized kernel name as default, any way to do this?
The following information from the article will help you
To build the kernel you'll invoke make-kpkg, a script which
automates and replaces the sequence make dep; make clean; make
bzImage; make modules. Take a few minutes and read over the manual
page for make-kpkg. The make-kpkg command line can be complex and at
first intimidating. Its basic syntax is
bash:/usr/src$ make-kpkg options target
Your target will be kernel_image. Let's examine two of the more
important and common options, --append-to-version and --revision.
--append-to-version
The first option lets you specify an addition to the kernel version,
which then becomes part of the kernel's name. You may use alphanumeric
characters, + and . (period or full stop); do not use underscore
_.
Here's the kernel I'm running now:
bash:/usr/src$ /usr/src/$ uname -a
Linux da5id 2.6.8.1-2-k7 #1 Sat Sep 18 11:23:11 BST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
You should avoid using --append-to-version values such as -686,
-K7, and -sparc. They are commonly used for Debian pre-compiled
kernels.
Kernel modules live in subdirectories of /lib/modules; each kernel has
its own subdirectory. Every time you install a kernel image with a new
name, the package installer creates a new subdirectory of /lib/modules
to hold its modules.
This means that by using a new value for --append-to-version each time
you build a kernel image, you can ensure that the new kernel will have
a new name, and that its modules won't conflict with those of other
kernels.
/!\ If you install a kernel with the same name (the same version and
--append-to-version) as an already-installed kernel, installing the
new kernel package will overwrite the old kernel and its modules. You
will be warned and offered the chance to abort. Take it. Use another
value for --append-to-version and rebuild.
--revision
Another make-kpkg option is --revision, which affects the name of
the Debian package itself but not the kernel name. As with
--append-to-version, you may use only alphanumeric characters, + and
.. Do not use underscores _. If you do not supply a value for
--revision, make-kpkg will use 10.00.Custom.
Using different values of --revision will not prevent conflicts
between kernels with the same name. They are just for you to see the
difference, for example recompiling the same kernel with a very small
change.
Kernel package names
Debian kernel-image file names have the form
kernel-image-(kernel-version)(--append-to-version)_(--revision)_(architecture).deb
The package name is everything before the first underscore.
bash:/usr/src$ ls
kernel-image-2.6.8.1.181004_10.00.Custom_i386.deb
Now you can see why underscores are not allowed in make-kpkg options ?
they separate the elements of package names.
I recommend using a different --append-to-version value for each
kernel you compile, and letting make-kpkg assign the default revision.
Date-based values work for me, but you are free to invent your own
scheme.
{i} Please read /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz if
--append-to-version or --revision is unclear, or if you plan on using
options different from the ones I suggest. (One way to do this is
zless README.gz.) Ignore the discussions of flavours and epochs
until you are more familiar with make-kpkg and with Debian packages
generally; they are not likely to be useful to you now.

The kernel install scripts merely install the kernel; they don't create initrds. For that, you need a separate tool; the standard on Debian is initramfs-tools.

x86_64 GNU/Linux
And
DomU: Linux xentest 2.6.18-6-xen-amd64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 23 08:01:39 UTC 2008
x86_64 GNU/Linux
I need to compile some kernel modules for the domU (v4l-dvb), but have some
problems figuring out how to setup the environment.
If I (in the domU) do a make menuconfig I get the following:
make menuconfig
make -C /root/v4l-dvb/v4l menuconfig
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/v4l-dvb/v4l'

make[1]: *** [Kconfig] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/v4l-dvb/v4l'

versions supports the xen-amd64 version.

how to compile a xen dom0 kernel the debian way
hello, i would like to give xen a try, but i didn't manage to compile a dom0 host kernel yet. that's because i would like to use a recent linux kernel (2.6.20 at least), build it the debian way (with make-kpkg), and as well build some external modules (nvidia-legacy-96xx, ivtv) with module-assistent for it. in irc (#xen or ##xen) i was told to use the ubuntu linux-source-2.6.22 2.6.22-10.30 package, and according to the changelog it should contain xen patches, but unfortunately a 'make menuconfig' in the sources didn't give any xen options in 'processor-type and features'. so how do you compile a xen dom0 host-kernel? is it possible with recent kernel sources, and where do i find the corresponding xen patches? thanks in advance, jonas signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Re: How to compile
On Tue ... you wrote I have an AMD64 box and I was looking to install the AMD64 Etch port. Only problem with that is that I want either Gnome or preferably KDE to go with it, and that port doesn't include those environments. ... later you wrote in answer to this I'm running etch-amd64 as I type this in kmail.. ;) Do you mean you have KDE in Etch AMD64? I'm not too sure I understand the first part, with it's implied 'problem'. I have an AMD64 machine, ... I have installed, and have running Etch (in 64 bit mode) and also have KDE and GNOME desktops (and packages) installed. (I'm in Gnome now as I type this) I did have some difficulties with the new BIOS on the machine and how it was interrogating the SATA with SMART, and also with getting the full GLX 3d acceleration to work with my NVIDIA chipset BUT they are not what I believe you are seeing as the 'problem'. I didn't have any problems getting Gnome and KDE to install and work. What 'problem' are you anticipating? From my experience they both work fine (albeit the new NVIDIA driver upsets KDE colours if you switch between them... but that again is not a fault of the kernel (AFAIK). Ian Thank you for replying, Ian. I'm most surely mistaken on what I said, I have been corrected several times. I now have the 32 bit version and I have managed to make my wireless nic work, so, perhaps I'll think twice to change. In any case, I did something wrong when installing the 64 bit version.

The driver (at76c50x) is apparently in 2.6 kernels (no m-a necessary). You'll need firmware; see the atmel-firmware (in non-free) package. Celejar Thank you for your feedback.

On Tue ... you wrote I have an AMD64 box and I was looking to install the AMD64 Etch port. Only problem with that is that I want either Gnome or preferably KDE to go with it, and that port doesn't include those environments. ... later you wrote in answer to this I'm running etch-amd64 as I type this in kmail.. ;) Do you mean you have KDE in Etch AMD64? I'm not too sure I understand the first part, with it's implied 'problem'. I have an AMD64 machine, ... I have installed, and have running Etch (in 64 bit mode) and also have KDE and GNOME desktops (and packages) installed. (I'm in Gnome now as I type this) I did have some difficulties with the new BIOS on the machine and how it was interrogating the SATA with SMART, and also with getting the full GLX 3d acceleration to work with my NVIDIA chipset BUT they are not what I believe you are seeing as the 'problem'. I didn't have any problems getting Gnome and KDE to install and work. What 'problem' are you anticipating? From my experience they both work fine (albeit the new NVIDIA driver upsets KDE colours if you switch between them... but that again is not a fault of the kernel (AFAIK).

Once it's installed m-a prepare will setup your box with all the stuff you need to compile kernels then m-a a-i madwifi will get the madwifi source and build and install the madwifi module.

How to compile custom 2.4 series kernel in Sarge with root on LVM?
Hi all, I am trying to compile a custom 2.4 series kernel for my server box which has /boot as a separate ext3 partition and / (root) partition on LVM (/dev/mapper/vg00-lv03), because I prefer to have all the drivers corresponding to my server hardware compiled into the kernel and none as modules. But it has been a total failure. Apparently the latest stock 2.4.32 kernel has no built in device mapper support. So I downloaded Debian kernel-sources-2.4.27 package, configured it with compiled-in (ie no modules) drivers specific to my server hardware. I made sure LVM, device mapper, ramdisk and cramfs support was compiled in. I couldn't compile in devfs support because that option was disabled in make xconfig. This could be the problem but I have no workaround for it. Also I am not sure whether I would need initrd image or not, but I created one anyway using mkinitrd -k -o /boot/initrd.img in Sarge kernel which is also the same version. I correctly set GRUB options to point to new kernel, and initrd images and rebooted the server. I get kernel panic in the boot process after it fails to find devfs filesystem and then fails to find dev/console. Can anyone point me to a step by step document on how to compile a custom kernel in Debian Sarge with root on LVM? I would really appreciate some help. Thanks!

Learning how to compile modules
Dear All,
Decided it was about time I learnt something about the magical
open-source kernel. So I had a good stare at the source which was
quite fun. I then borrowed a copy of OReilly's Linux Device Drivers.
Pretty much on page 1 there's a kernel version of a Hello World
program:
#define MODULE
#include linux/module.h
/* start the module - and tell the world about it */
int init_mopdule (void)
{ printk /* i.e. kernel-print */ (1Hello World!\n); return 0; }
/* stop the module - and tell the world*/
void cleanup_module (void)
{ printk (1Horatio, I die!\n); }
That's all. Simple as can be. Yet every time I try to complie any
code that contains linux/whatever I get reams of error messages.
Here's a sample:
In file included from /usr/include/linux/sched.h
from /usr/include/linux/module.h
from hello.c
/usr/include/linux/pid.h: error: field `task_list' has incomplete type
and another:
/usr/include/linux/bitmap.h:15: error: `BITS_PER_LONG' undeclared
(first use in this function)
That one seems to indicate that the kernel source tree is incomplete,
as if the header file that defines such things as BITS_PER_LONG is
missing but I've tried this on two debian machines now with identical
results. Reams of errors. I've also looked to see whether the errors
contain any messages complaining that the compiler cannot find some
file or other but seen none. Certainly not in the first page or two.
Can any of you people who program the innards of debian identify the
problem? Is there something one has to do before doing any kernel
compilation?
The Linux Device Drivers book says that the source is normally to be
found in /usr/linux/but on my machines it seems to be in
/usr/include/linux/. Is the code in the include directory a proper
full copy of the code?
Any help much appreciated.
Regards, Max

I was just assuming that shortly before 2.5. will turn into 2.6.x rc it would be installable by me, but was wrong. That's not entirely true. This is partially Debian's fault, since recently sid switched over to gcc 3.2 as the default compiler. However, Qt is still compiled with the older compiler. You can always use menuconfig or you can use the gcc 2.95 compiler for xconfig. For some reason, the new xconfig method in 2.5 is now built using Qt, though there is a GTK alternative which I have never once used. This problem will not affect the other methods of configuring, including menuconfig and config. I would reccommend that you at least have a thorough understanding of how to build a 2.4 kernel, and if you do have that, then if you want to take the plunge, go in and read all those nifty little help texts in the kernel configurator. They help. :) (someone correct me if I'm wrong.) -- Scott C. Linnenbringer sl at eskimo dot com sclb at mac dot com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: How to compile the debian way?
Lo, on Sunday, April 8, Mark Devin did write:
How do I use 'stow'?
apt-get install stow
then check the info page.
In brief: if you've got several packages you want to install into, say,
/usr/local/{bin,lib,man,info,...}, but you don't want to keep track of
which file belongs to which package, use stow. Install each package into,
e.g., /usr/local/stow/package, then
cd /usr/local/stow
stow package
this creates links in /usr/local/{bin,man,lib,...} to the files in the
stow/package directory.
It's quite nice; I'm using it on a Solaris network at work because I don't
have a real package manager like dpkg or rpm available. (Yes, I know rpm
exists for Solaris, but I don't want to deal with the hassle of configuring
it on a system which wasn't built with rpm.)

How to compile for debugging (APT)?
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to compile a debian package, specifically apt, for debugging? I got curious about some odd apt-get behavior (posted here previously) and wanted to try to track it down. Easier said than done! I think the problem is that I'm linking with my main libapt-pkg.so, which doesn't have any debug info. I have tried setting -ggdb in appropriate places and turning on static linking, but it doesn't seem to have taken (judging from what happens in debug and the output of ldd). I may be missing some general feature of GNU or debian packages, or it may be peculiar to apt. apt has a somewhat non-standard build architecture in place. I did apt-get source and then ./configure, make at the top level (the build tree, or a good part of it, is replicated in debian/cvs-build--I'm not messing with that). I'm not trying to build a deb, and my output files are ending up under the source tree (which is fine). I've steadily modified the build files, first with -ggdb and then with static makes. I've done make cleans in between. Aside from apt, I'd like to know if there are some general knobs for turning debugging on with most packages. P.S. I would have posted this to the deity (aka apt) list, but it is apparently limited to apt developers. I'm not one, though conceivably I might have a patch at the end of this to get apt to explain itself better. I have turned on the documented Debug conf file options.
How to compile for a different machine?
Hi! I'm setting up a small Duron box as filtering+NAT gateway for my home network. I'd rather not have a compiler on it or the myriad of libraries and header files needed to compile stuff, yet I'd like to build a few things by hand. Is there an elegant way to compile on box A for box B? Thanks, C PS: Please CC me...
RE: How to compile for a different machine?
This may be trivial to most users, but can anyone tell me how or where I can create Debian boot disks? I am trying to install Debian on a old maching i found, but I dont have CD-ROM support during my initial bootup and I only have a CD Distrubution of Debian. Thanks

How to compile module to avoid unresolved symbols ??
Sorry for what may be a silly question, but I've struggled on and off with getting my 3dfx module to insert correctly. I keep getting unresolved symbols on boot-up. Yes, the device is defined in /dev with ownership/permissions set as suggested in the docs. I assume that the problem involves its compilation from the package. I've always dl'd the .deb, unzipped it where it lay in /usr/src, and run the script to make the package. This is followed by its installation. Is this wrong?? Should it be unzipped somewhere inside of /usr/src/linux and compiled With the kernel? Does a line for it show up when one uses make menuconfig? I don't recall ever seeing errors on compilation. Another thought is whether I should change something in the Makefile which would make it compatible with my Athlon??? (obviously assuming something there would screw that up...)

You ought to be able to untar it anywhere, actually, unless you're using kernel-package to build it, in which case it *needs* to be in /usr/src/modules/device3dfx Is this wrong?? Should it be unzipped somewhere inside of /usr/src/linux and compiled With the kernel? Does a line for it show up when one uses make menuconfig? I don't recall ever seeing errors on compilation. No, it doesn't integrate with the kernel like that. (Unfortunately). Another thought is whether I should change something in the Makefile which would make it compatible with my Athlon??? (obviously assuming something there would screw that up...) Well, not afaik, but mismatching your processor shouldn't cause the link errors you're seeing anyway. (One would hope that the 3dfx source code would use your CONFIG_MK7 setting if necessary, anyway). hpotter:/home/daddy# insmod 3dfx Using /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/3dfx.o /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/3dfx.o: unresolved symbol remap_page_range /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/3dfx.o: unresolved symbol unregister_chrdev /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/3dfx.o: unresolved symbol register_chrdev /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/3dfx.o: unresolved symbol printk hpotter:/home/daddy# The main point to check is that you are actually compiling the module against the headers used to build your kernel. Particularly, that you're using the right linux/autoconf.h file, and hence getting the right setting of CONFIG_MODVERSIONS... So, from the device3dfx directory (where you run debian/buildpkg), check like this (output is from my machine): bash$ nm 3dfx.o | grep printk U printk_R1b7d4074 bash$ grep printk /proc/ksyms c0115f4c printk_R1b7d4074 Now, your address and version hash will likely be different BUT the vital point is that the version hash (_R1b7d4074) must match in the 3dfx.o file and /proc/ksyms. If they don't match, this suggests you compiled against the wrong kernel headers. Check your KSRC setting, and check you did make clean and that a compile is really happening. (You should see this sort of command: gcc -O2 -m486 -fomit-frame-pointer -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/home/steve/kernel/linux/include -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -c -o 3dfx.o 3dfx_driver.c during compilation. Note the -I flag pointing at the kernel headers.) NB I am not really a kernel hacker, but I'm fairly sure this is a suitable check to run.
