Re: Kernel patching + compilation for Cobalt RAQ 500....
Hi Johnathan, I'm confused, are You trying to install a debain patch on a vanilla kernel or the other way round? I cannot find a cobalt patch with my woody package list, so it's not in the current stable distribution? Anyway, debian kernel packages are usually somehow patched and You might run into trouble, once You use a vanilla kernel source against a debian patch or the other way round. Switch both to debian packages (recommended) or the other way round. I'm using the testing distribution to compile the kernel upon. There is no Debian kernel source package for 2.4.23 so it's a vanilla unpatched kernel source, but the patch package only supports kernel 2.4.23?! I think I'll have to contact the patch maintainer... -Cheers Max. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Kernel patching + compilation for Cobalt RAQ 500....
Hallo, I'm trying to get debian up and running on two of these units, and I really want to use a 'proper' debian package to install the kernel from. I've installed the 2.4.23 kernel source (no package available for this) and the kernel-patch-2.4-cobalt package. I'm confused, are You trying to install a debain patch on a vanilla kernel or the other way round? I cannot find a cobalt patch with my woody package list, so it's not in the current stable distribution?

Switch both to debian packages (recommended) or the other way round. [...] seems to apply fine apart from failing to patch one of the bluetooth drivers. This is usually either a patch against the wrong kernel version (there were some hefty changes during 2.4 developement) or patch against a patched kernel source, the second patch was not expecting to find.

Re: Kernel Patching: Updating the debian/changelog

I know there's a tool to update the changelog, but can't remember what that is. You should use 'dch -i' and add a changelog for your new kernel. Anyway, the question is: how do I patch the kernel and correctly update the debian/changelog so make-kpkg doesn't puke. I think the above will do if you upgrade the version in the changelog to 2.4.24-whatever. Cheers, GCS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Hello Bill Moseley ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: My notes are not perfect, but I believe on one machine that's running 2.4.23 the kernel was built from kernel.org sources but make-kpkg was used to build the kernel. I just downloaded and patched the 2.4.23 source tree with the 2.4.24 patch. Then I ran fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image and the build went ok except for: The changelog says we are creating 2.4.23-xfs-3ware, but I thought the version is 2.4.24-xfs-3ware I'm a bit confused about how the debian/changelog got there -- does make-kpkg add it when building form kernel.org sources? I think so.

The sources are now patched. (assuming you were in the /usr/src directory when you unzipped and patched.) I assume you are using the docs in /usr/src/linux/README. You now need to rebuild the kernel. hth dyer
