Hi all, I needed to build a kernel to enable some kernel options that were disabled in the standard Linux/Voyage kernel. I downloaded the source tree http://www.voyage.hk/dists/0.5/linux/linux-source-2.6.23-voyage_5.0-1_all.deb and followed the instructions on the wiki page.
All compiling steps seem fine, I did a make-kpkg: make-kpkg --revision="5.0-1" --append-to-version ".080401" kernel-image --rootcmd fakeroot and obtained a Debian package: linux-image-2.6.23.080401_5.0-1_i386.deb. But when I tried to install this kernel on my Linux/Voyage machine, something went wrong: pcengines-2:/usr/src# dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.23.080401_5.0-1_i386.deb Selecting previously deselected package linux-image-2.6.23.080401. (Reading database ... 17077 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking linux-image-2.6.23.080401 (from linux-image-2.6.23.080401_5.0-1_i386.deb) ... debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog debconf: (No usable dialog-like program is installed, so the dialog based frontend cannot be used. at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Dialog.pm line 75.) debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline Done. Setting up linux-image-2.6.23.080401 (5.0-1) ... debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog debconf: (No usable dialog-like program is installed, so the dialog based frontend cannot be used. at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Dialog.pm line 75.) debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline Running depmod. After rebooting my Linux/Voyage machine, I only see the default Linux/Voyage kernel in the GRUB menu. And when I tried to boot this kernel, booting failed: Booting 'voyage-linux-11Mar08' root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /vmlinuz root=LABEL=ROOT_FS console=ttyS0,115200n8 [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x2800, size=0x1468b8] initrd /initrd.img Error 15: File not found Press any key to continue... My questions are: - It seems that I need to install some dialog-like program. Can anyone please tell me what I need to install? - Is there anything else that I did wrong? Much thanks!
