acemi, Thanks for updating the Wiki, but it seems those instructions are already obsolete, as I was not able to install linux-source-2.6.17. I tried proceeding with linux-source-2.6.18, but obviously got something wrong. Below is what I got when trying to follow those steps.
(2.1) apt-get install linux-source-2.6.17 Generates the following error: -----------> Package linux-source-2.6.17 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available through another source. E: Package linux-source-2.6.17 has no installation candidate. -----------< I substituted apt-get install linux-source-2.6.18 followed by apt-get install linux-patch-debian-2.6.18 (2.3) tar xjf linux-source-2.6.18.tar.bz2 => tar xjf linux-source-2.6.18.tar.bz2 ln -s linux-source-2.6.17 linux => ln -s linux-source-2.6.18 linux (2.4) Folder 2.6.18 already exists, as does sub-folders apply, debian and unpatch. I did not do the mv commands. (2.5) There is no corresponding hal-linux-2.6.18-i386-1.3-08.patch file. I edited hal-linux-2.6.17-i386-1.3-08.patch, but not sure if this is correct. patch -p1 < ../modules/rtai/base/arch/i386/patches/hal-linux-2.6.17-i386-1.3-08.patch Gives error "Can't find file to patch at input line 5196...", then prompts for file. I entered yes for "Skip this patch". Then gives error "Can't find file to patch at input line 5209...", then prompts for file. Again I skipped this patch. I get error messages such as: 1 out of 2 hunks FAILED... (2.6) I am probably already dead due to the errors in the previous step, but proceded to see what would happen. There is no config-2.6.18... So using config-2.6.17-2-686 Otherwise no problem. (2.7) Running make-kpkg --append-to-version -rtai \ ... Results in pulling up menuconfig again. I just entered exit. This generates a bunch of errors like "#endif without #if" and finally errors such as: make[2]: *** [arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s] Error 1 I would appreciate any hints as to what I am doing wrong.
