I am trying to get to compile my own Cobalt kernels with little success as yet. for one thing, there appears to be a problem with the development tools. Using
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot -b I get aborted compiles complaining that strip has failed: ... touch build-stamp fakeroot debian/rules binary dh_testdir dh_testroot dh_clean -k dh_installdirs -pmips-tools # install files for mips-tools package install -s build-tmp/kernel-source-2.4.27/arch/mips/boot/elf2ecoff debian/mips-tools/usr/bin install: strip failed make: *** [install] Error 1 This is Sarge, and mips-tools is installed. I am also unclear about how you use the dpkg-buildpackage script to build a kernel with a custom .config. What are the steps involved in doing both a menuconfig (one that takes the kernel patches into account) and then a kernel compile using dpkg-buildpackage? I have built plenty of kernels in the past, but only on i386 and only a couple of times using the Debian Way (i.e., make-kpkg) so I would appreciate some tips on using these tools. I would like to test and report on a number of hardware possibilities for the Qube PCI slot, but I am stuck at the beginning. Any and all help is much appreciated.
