Hello Mandriva, OpenMandriva, MagOS and Rosa Linux Users,
|
2013-11-16 00:27:01 +04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
linux-userspace-headers contains the headers for the source code of
|
|
|
|
|
|
Linux kernel. All source code necessary to compile a new kernel is
|
|
|
|
|
|
included in two packages linux-userspace-headers, and kernel-source.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will need to install both linux-userspace-headers (needed for
|
|
|
|
|
|
general Linux compilation), and kernel-source in order to compile
|
|
|
|
|
|
a new kernel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The kernel is the central process of your Linux machine, the mediator
|
|
|
|
|
|
between the hardware and your programs. It is responsible for memory
|
|
|
|
|
|
allocations, process managing, device access...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although modern kernels are very flexible thanks to dynamic modules, you
|
|
|
|
|
|
may need to compile your own kernel for various reasons: your found a
|
|
|
|
|
|
new module which need a more recent kernel, you need a feature of a new
|
|
|
|
|
|
kernel, etc...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is a short sum-up of what you can find in the Kernel-HOWTO. Consult
|
|
|
|
|
|
it in case of a problem or if the shortcut here provided does not meet
|
|
|
|
|
|
your needs. You should also consult the README of kernel-sources.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Configure your new kernel
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You should never build a kernel as root, so as a normal user:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Copy the source in /usr/src/linux/ to ~/kernel/
|
|
|
|
|
|
Change to ~/kernel/ and clean-up previous compilations, by issuing
|
|
|
|
|
|
"make mrproper",
|
|
|
|
|
|
In console mode, run "make menuconfig",
|
|
|
|
|
|
Under X11, run "make xconfig".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then configure all sections of your kernel making each feature you need
|
|
|
|
|
|
available constantly or as a module. Note that you should compile most
|
|
|
|
|
|
features as a module, as it consume less memory, taking into account
|
|
|
|
|
|
that some of them cannot be modules as you may need them at boot time,
|
|
|
|
|
|
before dynamic modules be loaded...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Compile it
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Just issue "make" to create a compressed kernel image and the modules you
|
|
|
|
|
|
configured.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. install your new kernel
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now you need root privilegies, so:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Issue "su" and enter root password.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Issue "make modules_install"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will copy your modules and needed files to /lib/modules/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Issue "make install"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will copy your new kernel and system.map to boot dir (/boot/) with
|
|
|
|
|
|
correct names including version, and change respective links.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It finally runs lilo to take into account your new kernel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Modify Lilo to allow your booting on old kernel
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* This step is optional, although recommended *
|
|
|
|
|
|
See lilo.conf man page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your are encouraged during this step to create a new section in your
|
|
|
|
|
|
lilo.conf file, in order to enable you to boot on your both kernels, the
|
|
|
|
|
|
old and the new one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You need to run lilo then to take your changes into account.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may also use linuxconf to do all that with a nice GUI.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Reboot your machine...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And pray.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Anyway if something goes wrong, you just need to reboot and choose your
|
|
|
|
|
|
old kernel with lilo.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!
