You don't need to recompile the whole kernel to get a patched driver. For example, to patch sis190.ko under 2.6.24 I just do:
1$ apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r) 2$ cd linux-2.6.24 3$ cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config 4 [ patch sis190.c ] 5$ make drivers/net/sis190.ko and that's that. Now, regarding the actual bug you're reporting, I've compiled previous versions of 2.6.27 without problems. Are you doing it "the Ubuntu way"? I do exactly the following 1$ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux_2.6.27.orig.tar.gz 2$ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux_2.6.27-7.13.diff.gz 3$ tar xzvf linux_2.6.27.orig.tar.gz 4$ patch -p0 < <(gunzip -c linux_2.6.27-7.13.diff.gz) 5$ cd linux-2.6.27 6$ chmod u+x debian/rules debian/scripts/misc/splitconfig.pl 7$ debian/rules updateconfigs 8 [ patch things ] 9$ AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-generic Note that steps 1-4 I do because I'm on Hardy. You should be able to use "apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)" instead. Step 6 I need to do for some reason. This should produce the .deb files you need in order to install your kernel cleanly. Refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile for more info, especially the restricted modules which you may also want. If you follow the procedure above, do you still get an error? -- make-kpkg fails compiling on Ubuntu/GFS step https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/287172 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
