Hi I am a happy Debian User and software engineer in my job (mostly real time with another OS). I currently bought a Pegasos I board (powerpc) to set up my small home server.
I managed to install gentoo 2004.1 on it and can easily recompile my kernel. However as Sven Luther has a lot of things to do and his images for the powerpc-chrp are still too big to be loaded by the openprom, I am decided to try building the debian installer on my PowerBook. I am following the instructions in the custom-kernel.txt from the debian installer and had to problem to complete step 1 mainly producing a kernel deb. I run however into problems with step 2. There were a lot of missing modules in my pegasos kernel as I tried to minimize it. I fixed them by a) recompiling the kernel with more modules enabled b) prepending a '-' in the corresponding modules/powerpc/* file (my private hack) I didn't touch debian/control.stub. After having editited kernel-versions I called kernel-wedge gen-control > debian/control. Now running sudo dpkg-buildpackage in /usr/src/linux-kernel-di-powerpc-2.6-0.71 results with the following output: >dpkg-buildpackage: source package is linux-kernel-di-powerpc-2.6 >dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 0.71 >dpkg-buildpackage: source maintainer is Sven Luther <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture is powerpc > debian/rules clean >kernel-wedge gen-control > debian/control >dh_testdir >dh_clean `find modules -type l` > dpkg-source -b linux-kernel-di-powerpc-2.6-0.71 >dpkg-source: warning: unknown information field in input data in package's >section of control info file >.. >dpkg-source: warning: missing information for output field Standards-Version >dpkg-source: building linux-kernel-di-powerpc-2.6 in >linux-kernel-di-powerpc-2.6_0.71.tar.gz >dpkg-source: building linux-kernel-di-powerpc-2.6 in >linux-kernel-di-powerpc-2.6_0.71.dsc > debian/rules build >kernel-wedge gen-control > debian/control >kernel-wedge make-links >dh_testdir > debian/rules binary >kernel-wedge gen-control > debian/control >kernel-wedge make-links >dh_testdir >dh_testdir >dh_clean -k >kernel-wedge install-files > install -D -m >644 /lib/modules/2.6.8-pegasos/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-pegasos >debian/kernel-image-2.6.8-pegasos-di/boot/vmlinuz >Install: cannot stat `/lib/modules/2.6.8-pegasos/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-pegasos': >No such file or directory >command exited with status 1 >make: *** [binary-arch] Error 2 What did I miss? Do have to copy manuall /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-pegasos to /lib/modules/2.6.8-pegasos ? Is there somewhere a newer version of linux-kernel-di-powerpc-2.6? Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
