Re: Kernel compilation problem
I did finally get the 4.17.11 kernel to compile so that my large drives are visible now, but I had to use a 'shotgun' approach in including as many SCSI/SATA/etc variables as possible. I do intend on comparing the non-functioning config for 4.17.11 against both the functioning config, as well as against the config for 4.9.0-7-amd. Thanks.

Re: Kernel compilation problem
Correction: The kernel version I'm using (which sees my 2.7T drives) is 4.9.0-7-amd, not 4.9.0.7. I can provide the .config file for 4.17.11, if needed.

Re: Kernel Compilation
Hello Roman, Just been through the exercise of building my first Debian kernel myself. If you have never built a Debian kernel before, the 'Debian way' of doing it seems quite different to that on most other Linux's. The method I used to reproduce my stock stable kernel-source-2.6.8 after a new install was as follows: apt-get install kernel-tree-2.6.8 cd /usr/src tar jxf kernel-source-2.6.8.tar.bz2 cd kernel-source-2.6.8 cp /boot/config-2.6.8-2-386 .config make-kpkg clean make-kpkg --revision=libretto.1.0 --initrd kernel_image dpkg -i ../kernel-image-2.6.8_libretto.1.0_i386.deb It is presumably possible to do build a kernel the 'traditional' way, but you may want to try doing it the 'Debian way' first before trying anything more maverick. Your error message suggests to me that your initrd is not loading the correct driver modules.

Thanks, Frédéric Have you tried taking the config from the installed kernel and using it for your custom compiled kernel? It's always possible you enabled something that is causing a resource conflict. If you already started from the installed kernel config (or if you just want to take this route instead), compile everything as a module, and start with the most bare ram disk you can. Add only what you know you need, until it boots. If you can't boot without an initrd, then your kernel is missing something. Look in the initrd config directory, and make sure that all modules listed there are built in to your kernel. If you think that's the case and it still isn't working, tell us what your / and /boot drives look like, what modules you've built into the kernel, and where you get the error message. Justin Guerin

Hi, * Rodney D. Myers [EMAIL PROTECTED] [030728 11:48]: Now that I'm fully moved over to Debian :-), I'm looking at start tinkering with kernel compilation. I would assume I'd need the kernel-source package of my choice? Need is not strictly true since you could just get the source from kernel.org. However I would recommend using the Debian kernel-source packages which have a had a few security patched applied. But it are there any other package(s) I'd need to download to get started? Anything that is needed will be in the Depends field for the kernel-source package, so it will be installed automatically if you apt-get install your kernel source. Look at the Suggests and Recommends of the kernel-source. eg apt-cache show kernel-source-2.4.21. You will need gcc, make and libc-dev to compile the kernel. Additionally you may want libncurses-dev to use menuconfig and I highly recommend using make-kpkg from the kernel-package package when doing the compilation. Have a look in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package, and I believe there is a good Debian kernel howto at newbiedoc on the web (sorry not exactly sure where).

Re: Kernel compilation
To upgrade your kernel, you can probably just use one of the packaged kernel-image versions. Type 'apt-cache search kernel-image'. Pick the latest 2.4 version which matches your type of processor and install it with apt-get. You may have to edit either /etc/lilo.conf or /boot/grub/menu.lst, depending on which boot loader you are using and whether you have it configured to automatically update your boot menu when a new kernel is installed. The Debian kernel packages use initrd, so you may need to configure your boot loader for that, as well. As an example, my /boot/grub/menu.lst shows the following: title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.4.19-686 root(hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-686 root=/dev/hda2 ro vga=5 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.19-686 savedefault boot On the other hand, if you need/want to compile a new kernel, install the kernel-package and the appropriate kernel-source packages. Read /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz and you will learn everything you need to know about compiling and creating a Debian kernel package. Also take a look at 'man kernel-img.conf' and 'man kernel-pkg.conf', which are installed as part of kernel-package.

He urged me to add the following lines to my /etc/lilo.conf file: image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17 label=prev2217 ... and make sure I could boot the system from this choice. It worked fine. One way this could go pear-shaped is if /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17 is actually a symbolic link to a *real* image /vmlinuz or /boot/vmlinuz, which the kernel install procedure may cheerfully over-ride with the new image. In such a case your fallback points to the new image, as does the new lilo entry. So if the new image doesn't work you're in trouble. Usually /vmlinuz and /vmlinuz.old, or /boot/vmlinuz and /boot/vmlinuz.old (depending on whether you like to have vmlinuz in / or /boot) are links to actual image files /boot/vmlinuz-version-flavour, but it is possible for a Debian system to be configured the other way around (there is an option reverse-symlinks or something in make-kpkg). If your fallback entry isn't such a reverse symlink, and you run lilo successfully, then you shouldn't have any problem booting with your fallback choice. In any case, if your Debian system is fairly standard, when you install an image package made with make-kpkg your running kernel is installed automatically as choice LinuxOLD, with a link /vmlinuz.old (or /boot/vmlinuz.old) to /boot/vmlinuz-runningversion. Your preference for links in the root filesystem ir in /boot is set in /etc/kernel-img.conf. If your fallback choice uses an initial ramdisk (initrd), you should make sure that's OK too. If not (you can't see any initrd files in /boot or initrd = file entries in /etc/lilo.conf) then don't bother. Another tip: make sure you use flavours, this automates the installation of modules into a different directory /lib/modules/version-flavour every time you re-compile (provided you specify a different flavour, of course). Unless you do this, when you re-compile a kernel of the same version, the modules usually installed in /lib/modules/version (no flavour) will be cheerfully overwritten and will (generally) no longer work with your previous image of the same version. You will be re-compiling the same version of kernel, trust me; it's routine. The rewards are worth perusing the documentation, believe me. Debian offers three-line (and that's including the clean command) hassle-free recompilation and installation of the kernel, with a scheme for an automatically installed fallback. man make-kpkg man kernel-image.conf man kernel-pkg.conf /usr/doc/kernel-package/files example: prompt# make-kpkg clean prompt# make-kpkg --revision=3:2.2.19-custom.2001.08.15 --flavour=custom.2001.08.15 kernel_image prompt# dpkg -i package-file Happy compiling and upgrading, George Karaolides 8, Costakis Pantelides St., tel: +35 79 68 08 86 Strovolos, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nicosia CY 2057, web: www.karaolides.com Republic of Cyprus

One important ist the changes file. A normal way to compile a new Kernel ist: cd /usr/src/linux (linux ist offten a symlink to your latest kernel sources) make config/menuconfig/xconfig (choose one) make dep clean bzImage modules modules_install Then you've to wait some time. cp System.map /boot/System.map-your-kernel-version then link to /boot/System.map with ln -s Now it's time to copy your Kernel cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-your-kernel-version O.K. know link your Kernel to /boot/vmlinuz with ln -s So your kernel should know be in a good position. Now read man lilo.conf and edit /etc/lilo.conf. Reinstall lilo with the lilo command on the commandline and reboot. That's the shortest way to a new kernel.

Re: Kernel compilation straight from the base install...
Hi, I recently installed the potato base system, and wanted to compile my own kernel straight from there. I was wodering what all packages I'd need to download from the debian home page to be able to do this. The reason I have to get them from the debian home page is becuase all I have right now is a win modem, therefore I can't apt-get them. I'll be replacing the modem soon, but for now I'd like to compile the kernel. Please respond soon, thanks in advance. get kernel-source-2.2.XX_blah.blah.blah.deb get kernel-package (cuz it makes life a lil easier) uh, i think that's it from memory. good luck! from da Bobstopper

I've downloaded the sources from several places, but it still bails. Your source is probably correct, you just need the correct compiler.

RE: Kernel compilation
For information, the network card is a standard PCI NE2000 (Netvin NV5000, to be exact). Like I say, it's definitely possible to get it working because it works with the default kernel! I want to get this sorted out so I can upgrade to kernel 2.2 with some confidence it'll work. Well, the 2.2.x compilation uses rather different setup in the network section. Try compiling a 2.2.x and see if it works for ya. Then let us know what fails.
