You're going to fast for me; as far as I can see, sid does not provide
the 2.6.12 kernel-sources: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/allpackages
Would this be ok as well:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.12.4.tar.bz2 ?
This is exactly where it goes wrong with me ... I think I miss some
basic experience to make a sane decision in these cases (right now I
think there is no important difference between the two sources).
If you need debian kernel with .config from debian team you should download
prepatched sources 2.6.12 from debian sid.
You allso can download kernel.org kernel 2.6.12
in this case you should install apt-get install kernel-patch (smth like that)
and patch kernel sources with cramfs patch
patch -p1 < /usr/src/debian-patches(or smth like
that)/blablabla/fs.cramfs.diff
this is for "make-kpkg --initrd kernel-image" to produce initrd image
correctly.
after that you should patch with vserver kernel diff.
configure and compile kernel.
if you need I can give mine kernel 2.6.12 for sarge with utils and sources.
or you can use those on linux-vserver site (derjohn's)
Thanks for your clear info! This also confirms my doubt that I CAN use
the kernel sources from http://linux-vserver.derjohn.de/ (as you can see
I'm learning :) )
Later on, I will compile the kernel for my specific cpu the way you
suggested.
I think I'm getting to understand what steps to take and especially why.
What I am going to do now:
1. Install the new kernel from http://linux-vserver.derjohn.de/
(shouldn't be that hard ;) )
<reboot>
2. Get the util-vserver sources
3. Patch them with fix02
4. ./configure them (should I fix the path and/or prefix?)
5. Done?
