 |
|
Hi all,
I am trying to install gentoo for the first time on my ultra10. I get to compiling the kernel the hand book says to do this;
(For other systems, 2.4 kernel)
# make dep && make vmlinux modules modules_install
and then do this;
# cp vmlinux /boot/kernel-2.4.24
# cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.24
One problem though, after doing the make dep step, i cant find either vmlinux or system.map 
In frustration I thought i would try to use genkernel however, when emerge connected to dev.gentoo.org to get the packages it wanted, it returned a http forbidden error! 
Can anyone please point me in the right direction for the kernel compile. I want to get this going.
thanks

| I had compiled without any problem on the same platform. Did you look in /usr/src/linux ? |

I worked out the problem... Compile was crashing when it got to the SCSI drivers section. I did the following:
| Code: |
make clean
make menuconfig (for changing kernel level SCSI config)
make dep
make vmlinux modules modules_install
|
I managed to get the kernel compiled however, I noticed that the kernel was over 4MB, even after strip had been run.
So, I did all of the above again except that i tried to really strip out all of the support that I thought I didnt need in the kernel. That didnt work either because it looks like the kernel has internal dependencies and now that fails a compilation.
I will hunt around on this site and on the web generally and see if i can find some suggestions on what options should be included.
As an aside, if somebody out there has an Ultra 10 could they let me know the sort of things they enabled/disabled in their kernel config?
thanks,
Gordo |
