Building a new kernel
| Code: | emerge -v genkernel gentoo-sources
nohup genkernel --install --integrated-initramfs --kernel-config=/proc/config.gz all & |
We will probably need some swap later | Code: | dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=512
mkswap /swapfile
echo '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' >> /etc/fstab
swapon /swapfile
emerge -v ntp gentoolkit htop
rc-config add ntp-client |
OPTIONAL Fetch all sources: | Code: | | emerge -ve --fetchonly world |
To check genkernel in progress, enter:
or
When all done, after some hours, we must update a config file again: | Code: | mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt
nano -w /mnt/uEnv.cb2 (change two lines:)
#kernel=/boot/uImage-3.4.101
kernel=/sda1/boot/kernel-genkernel-arm-3.14.14-gentoo-sun7i
cp /mnt/uEnv.cb2 /mnt/uEnv.cb2-gentoo (keep a copy)
reboot |
 ** The new kernel didn't boot. I had to remove SDHC-card and undo last changes to be able to boot again **
I don't understand what's wrong. Perhaps the boot-loader must be reinstalled or reconfigured.
I have no HDMI-monitor, so I can only log in via ssh. this will be hard to solve. |
